Hey thanks,

Here's an update today with a couple pics. Flowering is going nicely.

Unfortunately I've been quite sick lately and since I'm hardly able to take care of myself, my plant is taking the hit as well. Thing is though, she's still flowering very nicely and is still nice and green despite the neglect. I'm going to feed her today (15-30-15). I haven't watered her in what is maybe 4 weeks.

I'm curious how often you guys feed your flowering plants, as I haven't even seemed to have to feed this girl yet, this is the first feeding she's getting during flowering. I'm a little paranoid about nutrient burn and over watering is why I haven't fed her very much. Although she took fine to vegetative stage nutrients.

How does she look to you? Healthy? Deprived?
Comments are always welcome, just please keep the thread clean ;)

start at 1/4 strength and water them with nutes once a week for 2 weeks then switch to twice a week and keep bringing the mixture strength up every 2 weeks. it also helps to flush after 3-4 weeks of feeding to release salts and such from the soil
 
Thanks for the advice

I actually fed full strength 2 nights ago and she took it very well without any problems.

Here's some pics from yesterday.

great job man. they look very happy and healthy. next time you should try topping them since you seem to know what your doing, you'd get a much bigger yield. Im pumped to see the harvest.
 
Thanks :)

Here's some pics from today, she's filling in nicely and still doing great... Not a very strong smell, but still very nice. Kicks incense's ass any day.

Sometimes I wish medicine didn't take so long to grow, but I'm enjoying every step of the way.

She's 5 weeks in. This weekend will be the beginning of her 6th week.
She's not as full as I thought she should be for her age, but I'll be flowering to 9-10 weeks instead of the minimum 8 that the strain suggests. I'm looking for more of a body stone and it should give her more time to fill out I'm hoping.
 
Hey so here's some pics I took today, she's beginning her 6th week of flowering.

Her slouched posture is telling me to feed her, but her leaves seem to be telling me otherwise unless I'm misinterpreting the discoloration.

Any help or advice would be great at this point. Thanks.

it looks to me like it might be calcium or magnesium def. have you checked your runoff ph lately? looks too uneven to be nitrogen. anyway what are you feeding her? try to get some molasses that have calcium+magnesium in it and its all organic. peace good luck bud
 
I haven't really checked my pH. I have a cheap pH stick but it always seems to stay around 6-7, so I don't know if it works.
I'm feeding Plant Prod 15-35-15 for flowering. I did accidentally give her the 30-15-30 nutes though last feeding; could that have played a part?
I'll look into that molasses. It sounds like it would attract bugs though?
 
if you are growing in organics the soil will break down the molasses and it wont be a problem. if you cab or room is never had bugs you should be safe. theres other things like cal-mag but are very expensive. check the nutes you are feeding to see if they have any calcium or magnesium in them
 
Here's some pics from today. Due to personal circumstances I haven't been able to personally care for her lately. She's been under the care of somebody else for the past week or so so it's been rough but she's still alive.

I'll be giving a light feeding today or tomorrow because she's ready for some water but was given too concentrated of a solution last time.

She's filling out nicely though. The 'hairs' are gold/browning by the way. Is this normal at the beginning of the 7th week of flowering for a strain with an 8-10 week flowering period? Just want to check.
I'll probably let her go to 9-10 weeks.
