I am currently on my 35th day of flowering my white russian plants. All is well....well...so I think. lol.. My goal this grow was to saturate my plants with tiger bloom and molasses for the first month of flowering. I know that it is recommened to be easy on the nutes, but I wanted to see what would happen. Mind you..I didn;t literally saturate my plants with tiger bloom, but I did feed my plants tiger bloom with every watering. To make a long story short, I am on day 35 days and I have some FATTTTTT buds. The bad news is that almost all the fan leaves on one of my plants have died because of nute burn.....! 7 out of 8 of my plants have like 40% fan leaves remaining. I am flushing them all with 3x water tonight. Has anyone done this before....Alot of nutes for the first month and then flush til harvest? I am not freaking out...but I would like to know what others have to say. PEACE:-?

Brutality. I think with no fan leaves ur lookin at a slightly premature harvest as the plants will start dying early cause they had all their energy storage )fan leaves) burned off in turn meanin likely no second wind of growth in the last two weeks. More like a breeze lol. But that's not fact or to say ur not onto something. If nathing else u found a way to make the plants trim themselves before harvest :) all I know is fftb is some potent brutal shit. Drops my 7.3 water to 4.6 with 1tsp/gal.

For some reason my Aurora Indica has taken literally 5X times the recommended dosage of tiger bloom and grow big. I havn't seen any signs of burn yet so i just keep feeding it that much, who knows maybe i could give her more; i haven't tried yet. And i feed every watering

For realzies! I've been dealing with the fallout for a week or two now. They warn you on the package to add a pH up, but jee-sus!:spew:

I've lost 20% of my fan leaves due to pH nutrient lockout. Fucking sux. Just today I flushed with a slightly alkaline solution to get the run-off at 6.5-7. I'm hoping this will even everything out and I can get back on a regular feeding schedule.

Does anyone add hydrated lime in with their nutes to help offset the drop? Ive added lime on its own with success but never along with the nutes. hmm.

I use the full FF lineup including the 3 solubles. Tiger and Big Bud w/ soluble first month. Feed, water, feed water ect... Then the last four or five weeks just Beastie or Cha Ching w/ molasses on the same schedule. The solubles are even more potent than the liquids. Here is a pic of my results.

Thanks Gip. The pics just do not do them justice. They are all just over 4 ft tall and the colas are gettin pretty big. Still have about three weeks to add some more weight. Beastie and Cha Ching, love em!:peace:

Ya, today is day 45 of flower. Thrichs just starting to turn cloudy so I will get at least one more good feeding in. Some of the lower buds are like 8 inches long! My first grow with Papaya but I am impressed so far. Sample nugs already make your ears ring.:hump: I also use Dark Energy during veg and early flower, it really puts things into overdrive. Then alittle Liquid Karma to ease the transition too flower. After that FF all the way. Oh and Cal-Mag, like 1-2 ml per gallon,(I use rain water) so need the additional micros. All the way thru.

I rarely go over 3/4 recommened amounts. Most of the time stay at around 1/2. The rain water really helps to make the nutes available to the plants. Good watering habits and watching your plants and giving them just what they need makes a world of difference. And not a thing wrong with Canna nutes. Feel free to give me a shout out if you need any tips.
