Yes 42 days it's a 3 gallon pot and I have 2 big fans blowing on my plans. The stocks are pretty thick
I honestly don't know why your plant looks so weak so maybe someone else will chime in. where did you get those square pots? I think they are perfect for a small grow.

I think the weakness you were talking about is because it was going dry. I took those pictures on Water Day Right before I water. I was talking more about the color. I work 12 hour days so sometimes on watering day I don't get to water it till late so they get pretty dried up. And I got the pots at a local shop. They are pretty convenient.

View attachment 3439583 View attachment 3439585 View attachment 3439586 I'm at day 47 day 5 in flower. I'm using the Fox and farm full line of nutrients with the soluble and liquids following the schedule. Feed water feed water. Any advice is appreciated
Honestly it looks to me like a potassium issue! Which can be confusing be cause iron lock out with also show signs of potassium deficiency! If you feel like your using enough potassium it's your iron....most iron significantly decreases in its availability at around 7.2-7.3 ph...I try to use eddha chelated iron as it is 100% available at even 10 ph!! And yes I have successfully grown Plants in 9.7 ph!!

If you have a ph tester i would test your run off next time you water....and if you have a ppm I'd test that as well to see how much nutes they are actually taking up.

I use the liquid pH kit. And no ppm meter

And it's only my second grow so I really have no clue if I'm given it enough or not enough of the nutrients it needs

Well with no ppm meter less is better than too much! Really just looks like K deficiency...you can try to make a pottassium foliar spray and as long as it's not Fe it should become after a day...Fe on the other hand can be as long as 10 days till you see it correcting itself...on another note, the eddha I spoke of can be applied as a foliar spray as well and acts more than twice as fast! However DO NOT spray just any Iron on your plants as they will burn for sure!!! The eddha is chelated with a protein that keeps it from oxidizing in the presence of light.

Potassium sulfate works wonders if you can find it in a foliar spray...or make it from powder.,.sea weed liquid extract is also very effective for veg only but make sure it's not kelp meal that stuff leaves nasty dark spots that can burn!

I thought you weren't supposed to use any foliar sprays in flowering

You absolutely can...especially early in flowering. Of course you want to be extra careful of what your using and dilute the spray farther if your worried and use only purified water or seltzer (w/o sodium) for the last two weeks.

Also make sure you have good air flow anytime your buds are wet to prevent mold...I also add coco oil and or a small amount of h2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) from every 3-4 days to keep any pathogens or molds off my plants and out of my room.

I have grown in some of the nastiest bacteria/moldy areas with out one single issue ever!

Okay thanks I will look into some of the products you mention.

Some plants TELL YOU whether they can tolerate full strength. I would flush to "clear" salt buildup and excess nutes , Let plant come around ( recover ) then proceed with 1/2 strength. Those leaves will continue to decay and eventually falloff and will not " Re-Green ". .

  • Here is a simple feed schedule ( fox farm ) - most strains
  • Week 5- OR– Day 1 of 12/12– 2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/2 tsp Open Sesame
  • Week 6–same as above
  • Week 7– 2 Tsp Grow Big + 2 tsp Tiger Bloom+1TBS Big Bloom + 1/4 tsp Beastie Bloom
  • Week 8– 2Tsp Grow Big + 2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/2 tsp Beastie Bloom - Start Checking Triches - Not Ready ( continue )
  • Week 9– 2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/4 tsp Cha Ching
If Triches are close - BEGIN FLUSHING FOR FINISH
If Strain is Longer running ( Sativas , etc. ) then continue

  • Week 10– Same as above
  • Week 11– NOTE SOME STRAINS CAN PUSH OUT TO WEEK 11-13 !
  • Predict flush time near trich peak , LET PLANT BEGIN TO USE ITS INTERNAL STORAGE OF NUTRIENTS ( leaves will change ) - HARVEST
I use this feed schedule for a majority of my grows unless plant is a heavy feeder.
So this schedule dosent include microbrew or kangaroots. Do you not use those two?

Nope ... No teas or supplements outside of the normal nutes ( in that particular brand ) , the strain you pop will never be more than what the genetics are for it. So i just get the girls to the finish line without adding botox , lip gloss or other unnecessary shit. :bigjoint:

Thats why i stay away from all that AN hype ( too many bottles , pricey ) when i can find a nice 2 or 3 part nute line. The plant will ONLY take up wants or needs , forget the advertising hype . Keep it simple. On my next run im gonna go OSMOCOTE by way of a Hempy grow ( it is stupid simple ).

I guess I'll try it your way and see what kinda results I get. Your schedule here only covers flower. What about the veg period?

Here is a simple start to your plants ( EVERYBODY has got their own version ) but proof is in the grow.

Depending on your SOURCE choice of medium ( soil ) it will vary on results. There are some very good soils besides FFOF - you can try PROMIX or SUNSHINE #4 and others.
So use a mix that provides MOST of the nutrients already inside ( guano , castings , etc. ) . I usually add around 20% more perlite or vermiculite. I usually prep the containers a couple days prior ( dampened ) before adding seedling plug or seed alone. Some people cry about not planting into final size container from start but it works for me. I follow this EASY feed schedule ( no matter ) which nute line i have on hand. I allow the plant find its own way WITHOUT nutes til around week 4/5. This way i cut down on nute shock , or over feeding or burns and other crap.

1 week(seedling) – Ph adjusted water

2 week(start of vegetative) – Ph adjusted water

3 week(vegetative) – Ph adjusted water

4 week(pre-flowering) – 1/2 veg nutes

5 week(first flowers) – 1/4 bloom nutes

in promix it's better to do feedings every time rather than water/feed/water/feed, it's a soil less not soil and should be approached as so. Maybe reduce amount in your feedings and feed every time.
