I know this is asked alot...but

Ok, so since ive started my grow ive been gradually bringing up the EC and im currently at about 1100ppm at 3 weeks of flower, how hard have you all pushed your nutrients in the past or even presently, i feel like this plant can a feeding almost every water, maybe im speaking too soon but ive fed her more than i have given her just plain water. Would love to hear some feedback! Cheers!

Depends on what you're growing in..
In a flood and drain( hydroton) i've ran as high as 1300ppm..

Im running in soil.

1100 in soil? Wow..! What are you using for nutrients?

See what your not realising is just because your not seeing instant negative effects doesn't mean your doing the right thing.

I can overfeed all through veg, but it'll catch me up mid flower and hit me hard .

Your plants are going to yse what they want and what they don't want will continue to build up until you've got a hell of a mess to sort out

I know a bit high , im currently using Cal-mag at regular dose, Big Bloom and currently some Beastie Bloom (dont hate ).

Becarful.

I havent given her too much as far as nutrients go to be honest in veg and this last dose was a bit higher than i normally give, most times i dont go past 800 but call it curiosity.

Thanks, sometimes im a real "Meat Popsicle"

Ive come this far since August, im not looking to fuck it up now, what would be considered a good range for soil?

I have had good luck with half the recommended dose every 3rd watering.

Just water every 3rd feed will help your heavy hand a little. I usually end up around ¾-⅘ recomended strength. The leaves tell stories, pay attention and listen to them.

Sounds like good advice, leaves were quite pale green so i pushed the nutrients a little harder to supplement which seems to have brought a deeper green. Im still shocked its as big as it is for the pot size and this being my first time, im either lucky, or just doing things right hahaha. I do always let the plant tell me what she needs, that i learned quickly.

Most of the time it's ph lockout or excess salts (ec) with soil problems. Start with a slurry test if you are thinking you may have a issue

Have not had any signs of lockout, leaves are all relatively healthy and praying but im not going to push it, thanks for the info!

TBH the leaf color does not look ideal for this stage of flowering. What you feed is just as important as how strong you are feeding, if you look at the fox farm feed schedule they have you continue to use grow big through week 5 of flower and Tiger Bloom throughout the entire flower period.

Big Bloom by itself has an extremely low NPK(0-0.5-0.7) so if you are only using that and beastie bloom (0-50-30) you are missing out on other important elements like nitrogen, and other micronutrients

That's why I've been starting the Calmag at full strength the last few watering, it was much worse about a week ago. What kind of things would you recommend?

I forgot Tiger bloom at half dose too. whoops
