day 46 of flowering is this normal?

If not what can I do about it

Strain: critical kush
Meduim: coco coir
Nutrients: advanced nutrients connossuier a+b overdrive bud candy calmag
pot: 3 gal smart pot
light: 1000 watt hps
Humidity: 20%
Temp: 78-82

water every other day feed every watering last water fed with 900 ppm 5.6 runoff was 1020 ppm 6.2 I keep having this same problem with this strain could it be that im under feeding cause I max out at 1000 ppm during flower any help will be appreciated also do u think buds gonna put on more weight?

Idk but are you sure ur pH meter is calibrated

Looks like it could be IRON or SULPHUR deficiency.

the nutrients ph themselves to 5.6-5.8 its the ph perfect line

"Advanced Nutrients - CONNOISSEUR"
There's nothing more effective than using ego to aim sales.

I have never talked to a single user of ADVANCED NUTRIENTS who have been growing for more than 12 months.
So giving them names like connoisseur or master grower is pure bollocks.

They should be
Advanced Nutrients - Gullible Beginner with $80
Advanced Nutrients - Very Gullible Beginner with $120 and
Advanced Nutrients - Imbecilic Beginner with $200.

You have several problems going on there!
Over feeding is the first one (most likely P&K). This in turn creates a deficiency situation, due to the salt build-up (kind of a dead giveaway with the 120 point rise in ppms in the run-off). Easy to get this in coco as it retains salts easier then other media's
As much as I hate to say "flush" (I generally just water w/out nutes for a while.) But in your case, using Coco,,,,FLUSH well and resume FEEDING at ONLY every other day (more on the watering follows in the next section).

Next is a combo package. It could be high heat coupled with not enough watering (The severe "cupping" of your leaves). This is also a sign of to much light (while not really bleached out, it goes hand in hand with the other two!). You say you use smart pots. I have seen first hand that these dry out faster then solid plastic pots! So then, for this I would get my temps down to 70 - 75F, increase your watering to every day but decrease the amount you water to a good bit of flow-through, let the pot sit in it's catch pan for a few min to be sure it soaks some up to get all the Coco wet. Decrease your Nutrient feeding to every other day, and PLAIN water the days you don't "feed". Lower the ballast to 75% for this strain (Idica's need less then Sativa's in the light concentration amount).

Your plants will finish out ok. But for this strain at least. I would follow the above suggestions. Try this strain again as the way above and I think you'll be VERY happy!

good Luck!

Oh yeah, put on weight?
Yeah you bet! It will most likely take off quite nice after the wash and proper watering! You are in the bulking phase it sure appears!

I'll say this before someone say's "Don't let the pot sit in the solution that comes out" There is something called the "umbrella effect". This happens when plants of that size, in that size pot, "deflects" water around the dense root ball. Thus leaving a "dry zone" below the root ball! I suspect that is adding to his troubles.
The smart pot adds to that effect!

^^ I'm not sure of the above statement. Explain bottom feeding...or the famous Hempy bucket...or hell any dro for that matter.
