I've got a blue dream in week 9 of flower. DWC. Buds seemed to have stopped growing other than some possible foxtail growth out of the top of the buds. Severely canoed upper leaves. Leaves dark purple. Using GH Floratrio at about 750 ppm. PH 5.9. This week I stopped using everything except dry Kool Bloom at 500 ppm. (Well a small amount of CalMag cuz I use RO water) Is it just ready to chop? I always hear that the last 2 weeks, buds get much fatter and BD has a pretty long flower time so I didn't wanna chop early. I use 2 VS1000 LEDs from Vivosun. CO2 bag hanging during the day. I dont know why growth stopped and the top leaves are so crispy. Lights 10 inches away. Humidity 45%. Fans blowing pretty gently. Thoughts?

My guess is the dry Koolbloom is doing it, that stuff is crazy P K numbers. It's only a "finisher" and i think this is why.

Why?

The recommended dose is 1/4 tsp which should raise the ppm to 200. Why would you give more than double that?


From the GH website:

"KoolBloom can safely be used three to four weeks before the end of the plants life cycle. Use only the recommended dose of 1/4 tsp per gallon (1.5 g / gallon). This will increase the ppm by approximately 200 ppm (0.4 mS)."

I assumed that they were taking into account other nutrients still being used. Like will raise your base mix of 500ppm to 700ppm. Also I was going off a chart I found that said to use ONLY the Kool Bloom for the week before flush. That chart actually suggested nearly double what i am giving it. And it's a rather large plant being that I mainlined and vegged for 9 weeks. The leaf canoeing and slow bud growth actually started 2.5 weeks ago while still on normal feeding. Which I could find a legit feed chart for my nutes. Manufacturers seem to recommend too much and growers seem to be off too.
