12/12 Flowering issue's/ Help my ladies!

[Topez]

I'm currently using foxfarm nutes / 400watt hps and have been laying VERY light on the nutes for the ladies. Using distilled water. And Black Gold Soil.
Here's some picture's:

Sorry btw idk how to rotate these photo's. and am too lazy to mess with it.

Hey there Topez, your ladies are looking very Phosphorus and Mag deficient mate. If you haven`t amended the soil or aren`t feeding enough flower nutes, this is the result. You`ll need a very mild feeding of CalMag and up your dose of nutrients slightly. Your soil`s likely lost it`s natural nutrition through progressive watering(s). Happy growing,

Clawing over fert,, way to young for a CAl MAg issue since that only happens in flower. and Po4? really a Po4 issue? LOL

This is 100% Phosphorus dude, spindly tips, bleaching moving inward with pure green veins ... I`m not even going to defend this. CalMag is only going to help the plant assimilate it`s micros ... Are you going to just hate on advice or maybe give something yourself. Please remove yourself from the pedestal ...

I agree w/ the guys-- also gotta ask a few things....
1) What kind of soil is that? It should not seem that compacted when dry...
2) How are you watering and how often?
3) What are you feeding them?
4) 12/12- now-- really? What strain is it? Not all can go 12/12 that small and be worth the effort...

Make sure they are saturated completely with some drainage out the bottom both when you feed AND when you water- then no water/nutes until the top 2 inches are dry and the planter feels light... IMO- transplant into slightly larger planters with a fluffier soil mix (promix, light warrior etc..)

Be sure you feed them only 1x a week- unless the soil has it's own N-P-K then do not feed until they've been in the soil 4-5 weeks... then start at 1/4 rate and work up...
Follow a feeding chart for the nutes you use-

Always add a micro-nutrient even if your nutes schedule doesn't call for it-- every other feed at 1/2 rate... never hurts (CalMag/Microblast etc..)

If that is a 100% Sativa from seed not clone- go ahead and grow it in 12/12- it keeps them manageable- BUT they have to be in a planter based on the finished size of the plant- not the current size- and if it is a clone, it will not get as much height/growth this way as the seed plant will since it is already an older plant and will start to bloom faster...

If it is a 50/50 or Indica dominant- go back to veg a while longer--

Either way- IMO- even though she's presexed, she's not full-bloom... put her back into Veg until you have her healthy.... Then she'll really preform better for ya!

He`s done veg brother, Threads entitled 12/12 Flowering Issues . We`re working on the `forward motion`so-to-speak

Always add a micro-nutrient even if your nutes schedule doesn't call for it-- every other feed at 1/2 rate... never hurts (CalMag/Microblast etc..)

This is good advice
