Hi I'm doing a grow about 4 weeks into flowering now and I've been using FFOF, grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom and open sesame.
I ran into a problem with some ph issues (low ones) in my soil which I corrected. It was only one plant but it's now looking better just a tiny bit stretched compared to its sister. I'm not going to post pics, sorry. But now that things are looking a lot better, perhaps the damaged ones slightly behind maybe a weeks worth due to all the stress.
Recently I gave them some good amounts of open-sesame which treated a small N deficiency on the previously flushed one. I'm pretty sure the plants got the problem from me using a fairly strong(the recommended dose on the weak side which is still fairly strong) amount of the FF flowering nutes together combined with slightly root bound plants that probably used up all the soil buffers before the time they got notoriously low ph nutes.
EDIT: Forgot to include they were both transplanted into a bigger pot without disturbing the roots and have established themselves since then as happy, a final blow to the ph problem. So you can consider them normal I just added this to tell you guys this so you know I have corrected the rootbound situation.
So with everything back into gear I water my plants with tiger bloom on one part of the week and big bloom on the other. Now that I'm getting past the phase they say to use open sesame I don't feel like going out and buying cha-ching and beastie when I already have a solid amount of molasses and bloombastic.
My question now is should I continue with the big bloom/tiger and add molasses/bloombastic instead of beastie and cha ching or what?
I'm still fairly new and I am not sure what could go with what.
Is it ok to split up the tiger bloom/big or should they be used at the same time at the same part of the week then use fresh water on the day I would watered secondly with another nute? <---- I hope that makes sense.
Also I've read a million times not to add N like grow big in the middle even though the FF (admittedly flawed) nute schedule says to. If the recovering plant is still very very veryyyy slightly lighter on the edges should I just give it one more week of open sesame instead or just give it its own small amount of big bloom.
Open sesame is 5-49-19.
The plants really haven't had a huge leap in size yet which is something I read is normal for Vanilla Kush, which is what these are. They have grown considerably but not yet the 2-3 size of veg going in.
