sativas ?

what's contradictory?
read your plant not nute schedules and meters. but yes use those, what I'm saying is they are guidelines. if your plant is showing signs of something add it, not all plants grew up in the same soil, they come from around the world. you wouldn't treat any other plant like this, they don't all prefer the same ph etc

Agreed.

This is a good point
some sativa will show nute burn in veg on ec 1.1
while others look lush and healthy and can easy go to 1.5 in veg at 4-5 weeks
meters are good but plants are living things that show diversity the meter does not account for this
being able to read the plant and have experience will help here
peace

tell yah what ill be getting a few packs of tom hill haze and ill post my report if anyone cares to see how to grow a 14-16 week sativa from seed the way i know how feel free to check it out (ill be sending payment tomorrow)

I made an organic soil that sat for months that still burned my very sativa dominant varieties. None pure, but 12 week+ types anyway. Excess nitrogen (got some clawing early on). Some organic sources of nitrogen are extremely available to the plant (alfalfa for example).

Possible it needed to sit longer as it was sitting outside and temperatures varied a bit (but it was mostly in the summer).

I have also found they are pretty magnesium hungry compared to indicas. I rarely see purple stems on my indica dominants... a little too often on my sativas. That's on me adding and refining my mix though.
