I get the same thing during flowering. dont quote me here but I think it's related to phosphorus. During this stage in flowering or a little b4 hand, SOME strains really do like a a good PK boost.

Really? Cause I played with the thought of doing pk bloom bottle as well a while back but didn't wanna mess things more up. Wanted to solve my issue first. It is a hungry strain, maybe I should down the calmag again then if it's not related to that, and rather put in some pk boost. If things still progresses ill do it.

I believe the clones wouldn't be quite as sensitive as a seedling or small plant from seed. Technically the clone is just as mature as the mother .Also I would say it depends on how much of a root structure is formed. Is there a solid enough root structure to handle and mobilize that amount of nutrients? . Always keep in mind that u can always add more nutes but it's hard to overcome a good nute burn. When in doubt, always go with the "less is more" saying. Anyway, these are just pointers man because your girls look good and green. You could probably get away with a few waterings with no actual feeding.

Ok so u wouldn't up the feed?
Think they all have good root systems now. Bit over 5 weeks since I put the root starters in solo cups. I should prob transplant soon.

Thank you for ur pointers appreciate the input. I've read several places that u never wanna use plain water with coco though. If its cause it makes the ec change drastically or something else I can't recall at this hour but there were a reason for it.

No problem. I personally wouldn't up the geed just yet. Maybe a week or 2 after the next transplant . I've read that to and all my plants have burnt tips lol. I use coco as well. U can feed every watering but if u are, I would use less than the recommended amount. Maybe half strength. I work my way up to full strength and I kind of feed over other or every 3rd watering and let the plants tell me what they need from there. Theres more than one way to skin a cow tho so do what works best for your routine. I sometimes have to quickly water and leave so being able to skip a feed works for me most times lol. The reason they say dont fees just water is because coco offers no nutritional value to the plant whatsoever. I agree u shouldn't give only water in coco over long periods of time because your plants will surely die but there are instances where u might want to skip a feed, such as, burnt leaf tips, salt build up, nutrient lock outs and things like that. Plus I always give only water for the last week or 2. Ultimately it's all up to u but I'd rather give u the information and u can decide for your girls what's best for them. They'll always let ya know when they're in need or have had enough, just gotta know what to look for

Yea I've been doing without the PK boosters but I think around week 4-6 they kinda ask for it in ways

They just hit 5 weeks since flip.
Symptoms started 3 weeks and 3-4 after flip. Plants were very mature when flipped(3 months).
Feed chart says to give pk boost at week 3. It kinda adds up, right?

That does it, if noone have a better solution I'll add them in next feed. If this actually fixes the problem im getting a bit annoyed but mostly happy! To know I was so close but symptoms showed and I changed up the plan. Well even if so, it's my fault for not being on schedule.

That does add up. Let's hope this is a quick fix!

What are u using for PK booster. I was looking at flower fuel but idk if I should just go with something a little more popular among the cannabis community.
I've always kept it pretty basic. The only thing I add is florolicous plus or whatever the hell it is. And I used overdrive once, these days I'm looking to beef things up and add something more targeted towards that instead of just molasses

Should be giving plants pk boost once bud developments starts, half strength to begin and full strength if plants are taking it well by week 4-6 then back taper down 1/2-1/4 strength till flush

Might add a little less up after I realised I read the chart wrong, and it is week 2 and 4 after switch not 3 and 5. Anyways here they are:

B'cuzz bloom stimulator is a bio-organic additive with "NPK 0-0-0.7 w/w" whatever that means? Not too familiar with this area. This is the one that says from week 2 in feed chart.

The B'cuzz blossom builder though have pk 20-30 ish. Don't think this one is organic. Says from week 4.

Gonna feed in few hours. Afraid to use organic things in the mix, not familiar at all. The high pk value bottle is being opened later though. Throwing in the feed chart that is closest to my products. Think the organic one will cause me issues?

Have any recommendations for good PK boosters that go well with synthetics?

Got molasses but afraid that it will gunk up my medium. How is ur experience with it?

1/2 strength and just run that till week 7 when u taper down ur nutes, taper the pk as well 1/4 strength till flush. If u plan on running you plants longer than 9 weeks u can start tapering down week 8.

I'm finishing when my trichomes say so. Seller says 7-8 weeks, so I guess 9-10?

I would use a tablespoon or 2 per gallon. No gunk at all but the plants seem to like the sugars

9 to 10 weeks if u counted the transition time which is around 2 weeks. Basically 9 to 10 if u start counting weeks straight from the time of flip. 7 to 8 if u account for the time it take to transition into flower

U can use molasses all through flower to . I feel it's more beneficial at the end tho

Counting from switch.

If I don't go sterile next round I might give the molasses a go then. I've heard some scary stories though.

I use molasses all through out. Soil/Hydro will have issues. It feeds the microbes Great stuff!

Hell if u do it I prob should, considering I'm copying u
Now I feel better about giving them the bio organic additive.
