That's fine. Nutrients aren't steroids. Good your reading your plant and not overdoing it. Doing just fine.
Did I finally hit a pound?!

If youve been having yield problems i agree with this guy, you have been cutting way to early and missing out on all the weight/better quality bud. Waiting an extra few weeks you probably could have doubled your yield. Flower time is typically what the breeder says +1-3 weeks.
At 500w, you should be pulling a pound EASILY.
Light feeder doesnt mean it will be a light yielder.

Like just to give you an idea of what a done bud looks like. This picture is 2 days old. Im watering her tonight. I will be harvesting her in about a week.
The pictures breeders put up for their strains are typically taken long before they are ready to harvest because when they are ready for harvest, a lot of the fan leaves are dead and they think it makes their plants look shitty.
I imagine you were harvesting buds that looked something like this plant in the past? My guess is 3-4 more weeks on this one.

Thank you... iv been told by a few growers to ditch this strain because it’s a light feeder... fuck em....lol

My current light feeder (of the 7 strains i ran) is one of the best looking plants. She has stayed super healthy and has been easy to care for.

Every plant is going to react to nutrients a little different, but that is very low for full flower. Im currently at 1.8 EC in full flower. But if they are happy where they are why change or worry about anything! It's like the people that obsess about runoff pH or EC when the plants are happy. Just doesn't make sense to me.
Fan leaves/sugar leaves will always amber sooner than buds. It's a surefire way to misjudge when to harvest.

About 4-5 more weeks. I would clean up the bottoms of them before flipping but no heavy defoliation.

I was thinking of chopping anything below 50% up the main top and taking off every red stem fan leaf what do you think?

Blue dream is a known stretcher so I was going to do a leaf strip before flip and at week 3 to keep em from growing Crazy tall ... the blue dream will be under a xxxl magnum 1000w 7200k extra sun mh for first 3 weeks of flip to keep them from stretching as much as possible then switch to 1000w Hortilux hps

One might come down in 2 weeks she’s way farther along and one might come down in 5 weeks she’s further behind
You missed an opportunity to leaf strip and remove larf from the bottom.. it would have fattened up the upper 50%.. you might want to consider some maintenance and thinning out the leaves some.. easy to mold like that.. good job

I did leaf strip them I only left small leafs growing out of buds
Good Job Sir..
