as long as yur pots are drying out between watering you should be ok

they sound liek they are stressed out if they came to a stop like that

they could be locked out. if they dont suck up and stay heavy they probably are. you shouldnt water every day. you should only water when your plant has sucked up and the pot feels light when you pick it up. if you are feeding with a organic nutrient line like i do you can feed more often i feed 3 times in a row over a period of about 7 days then i water with just water the next time my plant needs water. do you adjust your ph?

firt off look at the numbers on the boombastic. im surprised your plants are alive if you feed everyday with that, 14 16 if your ph is at 14 or 16 is that even possilble? I dont think the line you are using is organic i would stick to like feed every other wattering

look at the pic i just posted theres absolutely nothing wrong with the plants there really healthy, bright green no yellowness, no markings on the leaf or any sign of pest its just this sudden slow down in the ripening ?


as it goes with the feed im just going off what dosage the caana a & b and the bloombastic tell me to use;

bloombastic says 0.5-1.0 ml = 1000 ml which is 1 litre right ? so to every 50 litres of water i need 37.5 ml of bloombastic


canna coco a and b says 40 ml of each (a & b) to every 10 litres so that works out 125 ml of a & b every 50 litres

god nos what im doing wrong but it must be something!!! just hoping its this over feeding situation and it will straighten out in the next week. plants are alive and healthy and stil 5 weeks left!

canna comes in 2 parts.part a and part b which you mix, you use both all through veg and bloom but also add canna pk 13/14 in bloom, not good to use 2 brands at same time, canna can leave them lacking magnesium and calcium.......you can feed as often as you want, guess most people feed every day or every other...

This is normal, the plant slows down naturally as it comes to the end of its cycle 3-4 weeks the babies should be done, if you water in coco , water every second day, they love it! its the closets thing to hydroponics. coco medium is like a sponge full of air and full of water ! so dont worry about over feed, its soo hard to even get root rot with coco.

the only time to let the medium dry out is during veg so new roots can find new paths. otherwise feed the honies on an endless supply !

This is learnt over time. tried and tested, last grow was 4.5ounce each !
