First grow
Strain: ak47
Potsize: 5gal smart pot
Medium: 1/2 seasoil 1/2 promix
3 week into flowering
Nutes: AN grow/micro/bloom

My plant is lookin dark green.. other than that its pretty healthy I think..
I decided to stop using my base nutrients cause its looking so green. just using calmag and bigbud..

Should I just use plain water for the rest of the plants life? Or will it be safe to use nutes after acouple more plain waterings?

Thanks

N abundance. The leaf tips are starting to drift left or right. That's the warning sign. Next is dark green shiny leaves then you get clawing then it's severe clawing and stunted growth. Don't feed any nitrogen for a week. Let the plant use what it has stored in the leaves. I'd also flush my pots. Nothing drastic just 20% of the pots volume PHd h20.

They look pretty, but I agree with to much N. I had plants in hydro get that dark. They were pushed to the max, but just short of burning. Pull back on the N, and they will probably explode with growth as they currently look "fat and happy", but indigestion in not far away.
