Blue Dream week 9 of Flower. Severe canoeing of top leaves. Overfeeding? Wind?

All I use is Flora Nova Bloom, nothing else to my hydroponic system. If I were you, I would flush it out really well with gallons and gallons of cold tap and then mix a low dose reverse osmosis water feed to keep you water ph balanced… let’s say 250 PPMs Flora nova bloom only and see if that helps. Good luck

I would not worry to much. You are very close to the end. 2 weeks or so and she done. Just keep a lowish ec till the end. Plants have a natural fade, As they should. Nothing crazy wrong going on. Some small stuff...overall looks p good.

I think GH is great for hydro, my dad uses it in straight perlite and his stuff has been great. And i was just kidding I wasn't right about anything, lol. Especially if the taco'ing happened weeks before dry Koolbloom. ...

He's in dwc. Nothing to flush. I agree with the low dose Flora nova bloom. Love that shit.

I find pouring a couple gallons through my bucket and straight out of the rez helps knock off a lot of residue and nute build up in the roots . I also take a small bristle brush and stick it up my out take hose to clean it out as well. I can see dark residual water run out and then get clear so it’s a reset .

For sure. I wouldn't necessarily call that a flush though considering there's no real medium to flush.

I thought I remember reading somewhere, that a low dose of nuted water, helps remove residual salts, better than just plain water. I'm not sure of the accuracy to that though, so don't quote me. Lol

That sounds good. Certainly couldn't hurt. Think I'll do that. Thanks!

If it isn't too much trouble, would you mind posting the amount of FN Bloom, you use during veg and the amount during flower?? I love FN, for it's simplicity and if I can cut back to just bloom, that would be fantastic! That's literally all you use though????? Is the bloom???

That's it. It's all you need, or you could do flora micro and flora bloom, or maxibloom(dry version). It's all the same basically.

I've tried the Flora grow-micro-bloom formula and wasn't all that impressed tbh. I do like the Nova line though....how would I measure it out per gallon during veg?? And would I just follow the recommended dosage during flower??

Yes. It’s all you need. Just go by the bottle instructions. It’s also stain variable. You know, some plants desire more
Food and nute uptake than others. But never go over 800 PPMs in flower. Start off at like 250 PPMs and work your way up. One strain I had never went over 420 ppm the entire grow. Go light and read your PPMs .

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?
When running LEDs the ‘lights on‘ temps need to be 84f. Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus deficiencies and underdeveloped buds are what ya get. Seems like you’ve got things pretty complicated. I’d dumb it down and focus on basics. CO2 bags, pH, ppm are a bit over the top. Get your temps up and control that humidity.
Better luck next time.
