Finishing up or problem?

So big plant has a ways to go I know that but leaves started to turn a bit purple on the edges and I know that's normal. My question is, is my smallest plant doing okay I'm pretty sure she was root bound going into flower so she honestly stretched for like 2 days then that was it and she was dark green before almost like nitrogen toxicity, so I fixed that and now I'm feeding 2ml/ l of micro and using 2ml/gal of grow and then 3ml/l of bloom which I had to high at one point I am using 1 gal of water for the biggest ones then the 2 smaller ones only need half a gal water goes straight thru my smallest pots are 2 gal or like 2.5 and I'm using pH perfect technology. Does my smallest plant have a deficiency it could be bc the water is going straight thru her. The buds are also smaller than my other plant of the same strain this buds are way bigger

This is the same strain just it's in a bigger pot my buddy says these are cereal milk

I'm not sure which one is the smallest plant. In the corner, in back on right? If that's the plant, at least for me it is out of focus.

What I mainly wanted to say was I use a tray, and water from the top, and I give my nutrients in small portions of the total. Right now I give 5 applications of 300mL (with a particular pot size), with at least 30 minutes between waterings. If I didn't do that, root-zone absorption wouldn't be as good and I'd have more total runoff. Some folks instead use a surfactant, like yucca.

Sorry it's the one up front on the right. It's also the last 2 pics on the first post. And I will have to try that I think she just isn't taking up enough nutes, but I'll water in in intervals and see if that helps her. her nugs are about 2x smaller than the same strain in a bigger pot

Some of the leaves are light green/yellow and yellow ish

You didn't mention potting medium. The watering schedule may be incorrect for the media type. I used to use a percentage of perlite, but less than you, judging from one of your photos. Perlite doesn't absorb water. How do you decide when to water? How often?

They look over fed to me.

I water when the leaves are drooping a little and when the pot is light so it's every 3 days and I'm using a organic top soil from a local store here with perlite

Yeah what I was thinking I was giving to much nutes at one point

I wouldn't do that. I aim to keep mine consistently moist. By my logic if the leaves droop, the plant needs to recover from that, so you are loosing valuable growing time.

Okay I will shorten that a bit down to probably 2 days that's what I was told to do as a good reference to know when the plants need to be watered the leaves normally bounce right back up within 20 min of me watering them, should I wait 2 days or what's the best way to know they need to be watered bc I might have to water today then

You can't go wrong watering by weight.

A few important things -

In soil, every pot is treated individually.
Decide how to know when to water.
Decide on each pot each day individually.
No lazy watering in soil i.e. water same day to save time

If water pours straight through you have a watering speed issue. Wet just the top...wait, wet it again (say 5 min between), do it again, etc until slight runoff. You dont always have to do this. You can also use a squeeze bottle to wet the top (and sides if fabric) and then water slowly in small increments.

If water pours straight through, some parts are wet and some are dry. The plant stresses trying to handle this. That is why slow watering will saturate and avoid the issue.

In soil, 95% of issues relate to watering practices.

Other than the first water after potting up, I always water from below. I check the weight of the pot and then fill the dished tray it is stood in.

Okay that's what I h

Okay I try not to lazy water but they do all seem to be dry at the same day if not the smallest one but that one is always a day before them. And okay my next water I will try watering very slow. I already try to go slow it takes me like a hour and a half to water 2 of them and then take the runoff out the tray lol

Once dryness wilt occurs, it's too dry, you waited too long. The more perlite you use in the mix, the more frequently you'll have to irrigate.

It looks like your thread attracted interest from others, more minds are always better! Good luck, I'm outta here.
