Super newbie, please help

[Blitz35]

Ya, for now the main issue seems to be low nitrogen levels and possibly some magnesium, im actually looking up this strain, she's got serious potential!

Its never too late to start looking after it, make sure she can drink her feed by using correct ph water, be such a shame to cause damage this far in, its such a common mistake too. Best of luck, remain patient

Awesome do you have a recommendation for what i should buy for it, to fix the nitrogen problem.

In my opinion you are fine. The yellowing leaves mean it isn't sucking up any nitrogen and is focusing on P an K for flower development. Different strains behave differently but almost all change color and drop leaves. That Fox Farm big bloom used to have a little nitrogen in it, but i guess they changed their formulation.

Maybe some liquid kelp may help. Some brands have low nitrogen in them.

I picked up some of the old big bloom from a defunked hydro shop this season to help finish mine off.

I also don't run organics, so really wouldn't know what to suggest for you, and im not sure of the ingredients in big bloom, but i thought people use it alongside grow big and/or tiger bloom?

The yellowing means there is no nitrogen to take up so it's taking it from the leaves! Nitrogen, is often given in nitrate form, so it doesn't compete with the likes of phosphorus and/or potassium for uptake as they are cations, not anions..they only compete with each other. Yes, plants yellow and drop leaves, those that don't get enough light or if near the end of flower, his yellowing is not indicative of either! That's an overall paling of the plant, textbook nitrogen deficiency, a mild one for now.

Understandable, the only thing i know about the fox farms nutes is exactly what you do, that youre supposed to use them together or in sequence.

Beautiful plant. Do you by chance have a PPM meter?Not required, but if you had one you could be sure you aren't feeding her too much. I would go with half the dosage, you won't burn her, and your plant would love you for it.

Haha you guys got me so confused xD

Yeah i dont have a meter or anything really besides the couple nutes i bought. Def need to test out the ph of my water and run off. Bought those stupid ass strips and they were junk.

Ya, i use gh flora series (micro and bloom) and some silica for the most part. They don't sell fox farms north of the border.
As for the ppm meter, they are helpful, but not sure if it would help you as they don't really work with organic feedings.

I know i kind of dropped the ball, but i also had/dont no idea what im doing. Stuck her in the bucket and named her debra

Yeah im also not swimming in funds so that was part of the reason i just went organic as possible. So i didnt have to buy all these tests and meters and whatever else. But now that ive grown attached to her i wanna give her the best life. Even though its lateee

You did great! DO NOT go messing it up by adding a bunch of nitrogen. Give it some of that Fox farms and some molasses and you will be good to go! Also don't let the soil dry out too much. If the tips look burned you need more water. They like lots of water in flower.

You did well so far, she just needs a bit of food. Like was mentioned, give half the dose of what it says on the bottle and see how the plant reacts..a notice can be seen in about 2-3 days after watering. However, you will have to find nutes for her, because the big bloom alone with cal-mag won't cut it.

Not a 'bunch' of nitrogen lol, just what is needed. Molasses won't do anything about the paling leaves, that only has some benefit in the last 2 weeks of flowering.

Ok man.
