Ok here goes lol

She is in the 8th week of flowering under 9 cfls at 45watt each. She is grown in coco coir using only canna a and b 3 ml to every 2 liters of water.
I water only when getting dry but this is about twice a week. I am not sure on the strain as first grow and decided to use bag seed wish I hadn't as no nothing about the plant. Anyway any help would be great

I can't really tell but this looks like either nutrient burn or some kind of deficiency, i can see your stems turning purple too. I don't use cfl's either, im on a HPS bulb. I'm pretty sure you have a nute or deficiency problem, if it isn't a lighting issue.

I don't think it's a light issue but could be wrong as all pics I have looked at regarding deficiency don't look anything like mine.

I use the same setup. coco coir and canna A+B, although I use 9ml/l... just let me double check that... I use a 15ml spoon and I use a 5 liter water container. 1,5 spoonful of A and 1.5 spoonful of B per 5 liters of water. That is 22.5ml of A and B and 45ml total per 5 liter. 45 / 5 = 9. yup that's 9ml A+B per liter of water. 4.5ml of each. that might be your problem right there. I've used this amount for the last 5-6-7 grows and it works all the way, but I do get some crispy leaves here and there at harvest time.

Edit: actually I start out at about half strength or less when they're young and vegging, and work my way up to 9ml/l.

Looks like she had/has a heavy deficiencies by lockout/underfed/wrong ratios. Also, when using CFL's, you want a very tight area so the light doesnt spread because cfls degrade fast regardless of the wattage. Also height!! The more the plant stretches the less light it will recieve with cfl's. You have enough light to grow 1 plant and get an ounce or two, but you need a healthy grown short plant flooded with cfls all around it. I have tried it btw.

Thanks fr the advise mate just checked the bottle and it recommends 1.5 ml per ltr so 3 ml each per 2 ltrs is what I use. So do you reckon I should up that to 9ml each per 2 ltrs that's a big increase. Do you use anything else with it?

nope, just 9ml/l of A+B. I used to use 6ml/l wich also worked, but I read somewhere that people used more than that so I thought "maybe that's why there's so many yellow and wilting leaves at harvest time..." and I bumped it up to 9ml/l which didn't make much visible difference really.

I suggest you try 6ml/l. I'm pretty sure that's gonna work out.

I haven't read all the comments above. But i'm gonna go ahead and tell you my opinion. Nitrogen as macro nutrient is used by the plant to produce leaf matter. Therefore your plant looks like it has too much nitrogen for a flowering plant. Usually before flowering you should cut down the nitrogen and boost Phosphorus and Potassium. Nitrogen is still in good use in the first month of flowering needed for the flowering stretch before the plant start producing fruits aka buds. Therefore professionals will tell you to still give little amounts of nitrogen during the first 3-4 weeks of flower.

Coco is famous for salt build ups, if in doubt, flush.

Doski is right. your plant has issues beyond feeding schedules at least. you got some long, totally bare stalks with a popcorn bud at the end, what is up with that? and the bud on close up is not shaped like a regular bud.... My first grow I used only one big ass CFL and the plant got freaky, nobody knew what was going on with it. I suggest you change lights. LEDs if you like DIY and got small space, HID for everything else.

Ok ok I got it my plant is a freak lol but that might mean a great smoke lmao. I will just cut it at the weekend a smoke it. So LEDS is the way I will go next I'm in the UK and have already got my seeds for next grow. It's a auto quick one. What size led any links for ebay would be great.

If you have any technical skills, a DIY led is better, but a commercial lamp is 100x easier and quicker. You should check out the led subforum under indoor grow - LED lighting. I think there are guides to what to buy there.

I've grown quite nice buds under CFL! How do you guys come up with the idea that this plant had light issues? Based on what facts?

Meanwhile nitrogen is used by the plant to create leaf matter.
Therefore this plant has way too much nitrogen for flowering!

I suggested he switched lights based on my own personal experience. I doubt nitrogen is the problem, since I use the exact same setup only I feed 6 times as much as tinytocker does...
