Dark green leaves hard and crispy

Look, when you are not armoured with pH and EC meter than you can only guess what is happening. And believe me, your guess is somewhere in the fairy tale. I think that some heavily experienced guys do not need to use it, because they already know what is happening. But it is not your case (no offense of my side) and it is crucial thing to understand your soil and everything around it. For me it is the only way how to comunicate with my girls before they expres it other way by deficiencies or abundances... It is always better to be one step ahead.

Looking at those plants again they don't look bad. They're getting dark green with just the beginnings of a little tip burn but overall those are some nice looking plants. I had previously just looked at the first few and that plant in the 2nd and 3rd pictures is starting to claw a little.

Just give them plain water for awhile. When you water make sure there is a little bit of runoff. When you start feeding again use less. It's easy to feed more if your plants need it but overfeeding can harm your plants.

Good luck with your grow.

I disagree with the too high a N level.
If your too high with N, the 1st thing you'll see is burnt tips, which I can't see in your images.
Also with high N the leaves would be up, not droopy.
I think either your watering not enough or too much.
How many leaves are affected & is it the same on all of your plants, or only 1?
Also, don't rely on recommended amounts, get a PPM/PH tester to make accurate adjustments.
You really don't want too guess.
Good luck :)

You are absolutely right and I want nothing but the best for my girls I'm going to be ordering it like right now should I get a TDS meter or a EC meter

well, I have no clue how much fert you did pour in and how sharp your soil is ... if its organic flushing won't do much, at least, not for long... or how well airated your medium is (= how well your plants react to a boatload of water)... you could do a single flush and then just keep on watering... I personally, in organic soil, just feed RO water if plants are somewhat stunted from nute overload, then go from there to tapwater, then add stimulants to help leeching some of the ingredients out, and if it's warranted, pick up the nutes. maybe you can judge a bit better your situation than me.... but whatever you do, no fert for some time and if you fert, remember soil buffers so not all nutes are captured by the plants after the first watering

The way of the Fox

Fellow growers, I come here today to bring you a little info on a well know fertilizer line that has been around for some time. I have been asked in the past to do this as I have had success time after time with the product and it yields great results, not only in ganja but in the veggie world...

I live in Europe so my advice is not so useful. I would just recommend to buy combo EC or TDS with pH. Costs more but it worths!

Duly noted. so basically I'm testing the water that I'm putting into my plants. I've been doing some homework last night and today. total dissolve solids.? That way if my water's too hard or has already a lot of nutrients in it I can just adjust it I'll continue to keep researching
