Im currently growing in Coco with Down to earth dry amendments. I water ever other day 1 gal per plant depending on size. Most of my adult plants that are in flower receive approx 1 gal per day of pH 6.5 water with compost tea given once per week. I re amend by top dressing every 4 weeks.

Here is an example of what im working with.
Currently in Week 9 and the fade is just starting. I havent fed in about 5 weeks. Plant just started showing signs of deficiencies due to natural fade approx 5 days ago.
This is a 12 week flowering strain. Sunshine Kush (sativa dominant)


Check the tricomes.. if your happy with where they are at then you should harvest.

People tend to overthink cannabis plants... they are only plants. Treat them well and they will do fine. Good enviroment, good pH, feed and thats it.

No offence but those buds look larfy! I’m thinking your not giving the plants what they need. Buds aren’t developing as good as they should and leaves are showing deficiencies. This your first grow organic or what?

Yes first grow the thing is every time I went past 600ppm they would show burnt tips and pistoles so I backed down even flushed with 20 gal of ph ro water and brought runoff down to 50ish couple days later my run off ph was back at 4-5 and ppm way 1-200 over my influx I’m in coco dtw any idea what I did wrong?

Buds are super dense and thick. This plant has given me trouble the whole grow... first it was over fed then it was under fed... just been a nightmare. Surprisingly the buds have turned out decent and they still have a ways to go. Probably at least 12 weeks maybe 13 with just this strain.

Ok I didn’t mean to smash your grow man not at all. Just looked like loose buds but if you have that much time to go anything can happen!

But your leaves are telling a story. There are issues to address for sure. Leaves should be green. I can keep the veg green until I chop. If not you have an issue

Yah like I said I was dealing with a more hungry plant then usual especially for a sativa type strain. I have given compost tea recently so some of the color should return but im just naturally letting the plant flush because of all the problems I have. Kinda gave up on this bag seed honestly. I have much better genetics and plants growing currently. I appreciate the feedback tho no offense taken what so ever Cheers!

Bagseed has been good to me but yes not always a strong strain in the garden.
