Okay everyone my plants have been doing really well until I noticed the nitrogen claw where the leaves are perky but drooping at the same time. I am growing sweet seeds sweet thai and it was a nitrogen hog during veg and now week 5 into flower I have been easing off the grow big while increasing the big bloom and tiger bloom. What can I do to fix the nitrogen overload? It's not too bad but I want it to grow faster and pack on more weight. Should I just water with big bloom and tiger bloom only for another 2 weeks then give it a 3 week flush or flush then start new nutes? I've read online it can be taken to week 11 but I'm looking for packing on the weight and making her healthy until flush any advice is appreciated.

Let the shine come off those bottom fan leaves before giving any more N. She looks full up on it at the moment, but healthy. Good luck!

MAYBE you use 1/2 strength Grow big in the First week of flower for an Indica.
Maybe 2 weeks on a Sativa.

Thats it, no More Nitrogen Rich Foods after that.


use :
Tiger Bloom for flowering
Big Bloom for Microbial essentials
Epsom Salts - for Magnesium supplement ( it's the only thing I find FF lacking)

1 teaspoon each per Gallon of water

I grow hydro, you would probably get Cal/mag instead of Epsom Salts. ES is cheaper and goes a lot farther for the buck.

Thats my Recipe, I'm growing a Sativa dom plant now.

I might see a tiny bit of N toxicity if at all. The "claw" is a very distinct symptom; it looks like a talon or claw. If your concerned, give her only 1tbs/gal of big bloom for a couple waterings. You can add molasses as well. What are your temps in there?

Being paranoid or overly conscious of their condition isn't a problem at all, it's jumping to conclusions and making changes without gathering enough data that 90% of the time (made up statistic) results in more problems and a further decline of your babies health. It's good to watch them. They say in the fitness world that there is no better trainer then yourself. In this case, there is no better person to ask what went wrong over the last week then yourself. :peace:

You have a nice green lush plant with no real issues and you start to panic....
It is always what you did a week to 10 days earlier...
So ten days ago.... Anything change?
I would do nothing drastic, no big change at all....
Your plant will use up the Extra N as it finishes....
I would cut back only 50% on nutes for one week...
I see new lush green growth.... most newbies would envy!

Oh no nothin drastic it learned that from my first plant. And thanks I appreciate the kind words I'm hoping to really nail this one and knock it out of the park. And it's prob from a little too much N in the last nute mix. I'm feeding her today with water ph6.5 and molasses. Still a little droopy but like everyone has said it'll use all that up. I'm gonna give it a 3 week flush starting week 7 maybe 8. If this turns out half as dank as I want it I'm psyched.
