Am I overfeeding? GH 3 part

I'm week 7 in flower and they're looking slightly overfed, I've been using the GH expert recirculating chart at full strength, should I not do that? Is GH hot? I've read people aren't feeding full strength. I am using hydro with tap water. Are there better nutrients out there? Its been working for me so I don't want to change unless there's something better. Cost isn't important, just want the best stuff so I've been sticking with classic GH. I've been considering switching to AN connoisseur.

Anyone have recommendations to modify the GH feed chart for cannabis, clearly I'm burning her.

yea ... cant really tell if its potted or not but if it is you can always do a good flush to help wash out the excess . Just flush em with water untill you get a runoff from the bottom .. it should run kinda clearish after a few seconds . Then start back at half to three quarter strength of what you was using previously .. just make sure to let it dry out pretty good before you water or feed again . They look pretty healthy .. just minor burn - should snap right back for ya ...good job so far - they look like they should reward you well.....

No recirculating hydro, I backed off to 1120ppms from 1350. They're doing just fine might just lengthen the flower time. Does anyone else go full strength or have they're cannabis specific chart..?

Use them at HALF strength.

Drop the veg food.....the micro has enough N in it to get through the entire grow.The Flora series is a 3 part but has been popular for years as a 2 part...micro and bloom.

My bud uses the GH also.

He's using Pro mix HP in 3 gl pots using 6 mil micro per gal and 9 mil bloom per gal of water.His product has improved 10 fold from using it at the suggested rate on the bottle.

Flush well.....a must if using full strength nutes.

i cut the grow out during bloom cycle like dankkster was saying. i also use the 3 part gh solution, by using jus the micro and bloom i noticed it stopped the plant from streching. plants started to bulk up and ripen. i start this at the 6wk mark until flush. i use the drain to waste export feeding chart from gh, 10ml micro per g, 20ml bloom per g

may want to give your lady there a nice quick flush man.

after your flushing is done.. don't continue to feed with the same mixture strength as you had been using before you flushed.

All you need to do.. is take it down a few notches bro. Maybe dilute the nutrient mix up a bit more with some water.. to take the mixture strength down some.

Do that and you'll be just fine and so will your lady.

good luck..


peace.

4mls of micro and 12mls of bloom per gallon. Done.
Thanks homebrewer, do you agree with a flush? I should be done in a week I'm on the 'ripen' phase right now. I think flushing at this point will hold me up some. For ripen I did 75mls per 15gal micro, 300mls per 15 gal bloom, 50mls floracious bloom. I just did a res change like 5 minutes ago, hope I didn't come in too hot..? Its hotter than you said to do but I'm not running koolbloom. I think that koolbloom is hot shit.

Liquid KoolBloom and florabloom are the same product. They contribute the same ppm to a gallon of water.

Your current feeding levels are going to continue to give you issues. You're up near 1.8 EC when you should be closer to 1.0 EC.

EDIT: It wouldn't hurt to leach some salts from your medium next week but I wouldn't 'flush' at the end. Well, you're overfeeding so you may need to just feed really low during your last week.

Ok, so should I start over or could I correct it by removing 2 gallons out the res, adding 2 gallons of fresh 5.8 ph'd water?

I'd drain at least 4 gallons and top off with plain water, pH to your desired range.
