5'ish weeks into flower, phosphorus deficiency.. first soil grow

Here's what I used in the original super soil setup... I didn't let it sit, this is my first soil grow (organic), as I grew hydro for about 4 years so this is all a learning process...

- 1 bag Fox Farm Ocean Forest
- 1 bag Pro-Mix HP
- 1 cup Blood Meal
- 1 cup Bone Meal
- 1/2 cup Dolomite Lime
- 10-20% Chunky Perlite
(this is blazeoneup's soil mix)
3gal pots...

I water with plain distilled water

What should I do now? should i just let it run its course or should I go get some bloom ferts and mix it in next feeding?

Definatly get bloom ferts going since it's well into bloom - looks like they have been in bloom about a 5 weeks or more so they won't have too long before they are done.... Might even consider just finishing it out, but I'd give it some juice...

The plant is loosing a lot of leaves - That may be perfectly normal for that strain - I wouldn't worry about it loosing it's leaves.... just my opinion...

I also use Bat Guano, and Molasses plus a few other bud enhancers...

I have no idea how much the "bud enhancers" help. Next grow there will be some plants that won't get "bud enhancers" so I can see if there is any difference in yield...

i was just worried about mixing nutes in with the super soil but im sure i fucked up something and didnt put enough bone meal in or something, so you think its not too late to throw some ferts in (just dont overdo it)

Yeah, go for it, the soil has been in use for some time now unless you recently transplanted it so the soil shouldn't be too hot, more like used up.... Step off any vegging nutrients and shop for bloom nutes at this time...

Have you looked at the trichomes under magnification to see how they look? I'm thinking they could be anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks away from finish... Just can't tell unless you know the strain flowering times....

thanks for the advice man ill go to the store tomorrow

I don't have a magnifying glass to look at the trichs, but I just stuck a dehumidifier in there and theyre getting super shiny.. id say about 5-10% of the hairs are orange buit the buds look like they need to fatten up some. They are getting heavier day by day though.

What would be ur recommended amount of water for a 3gal pot with 20% perlite? I've been using about half a gallon every 3-4 days for each plant

A cheap fix is to get a kids microscope that magnifies at 150 - They sell em at WallMart an Target for 16 to 20 bucks... The higher settings are too much for looking at trichomes. Some people harest when they turn cloudy, some wait for 30% of them to turn amber... It's all about what kind of high you're looking for. Mostly amber is a very mature plant that will give it's best to give a person couch lock irf it's a potent strain.
