How to control odour in balcony grow

Hmm I didn't think seaweed could do that because it's meant to only have very low amounts of NPK's, and that frequency of epsom salts is fine, how many tsp/L? 1 tsp/3L? I remember reading something about houseplants getting burnt leaf tips just from overwatering and nothing else so maybe that's why the tips are burnt because your soil could be too heavy and keeping the roots wet too long? I can't tell because I don't know how often you water or how fast they drink it..

I water them according to weather if it's too sunny I will water them daily in morning. If it's too cloudy, windy or wet weather I water them after top medium is dry that will be around 2 days or 3. 1 teaspoon epsom salts per litre

Actually I think you're meant to taper off the seaweed in bloom, I do anyway.. Sounds like your watering plan is perfect.
I wouldn't worry too much about the burnt tips man they're all good.. I wouldn't even worry about feeding them much more of anything, you won't make the most of the genetics but you will have a nicer smoke.. I'd maybe think about top dressing the landraces because they're gonna go so much longer.

Don't follow the dosage instructions on the bag of epsom salt lol mine says 20g/L which would be thousands of ppm and wayyy too much.

So I should just water GA with seaweed normally will it suppress the light color of leaves. Landraces also have burnt tips. What to do for light color leaves

I just saw you that said you add epsom salts @ 1 tsp/L which is probably too much if you're giving that every week and it's probably why the tips are burnt. I only use about 1 or 2g/L but with every watering because I'm growing in coco which is basically hydro.
I'm not sure if the seaweed alone will green the leaves up, the plant is likely still getting hungrier so the fade will probably keep moving up the plant even with the seaweed. No worries though just don't have a really high expectation for these ones because they're only your first hybrids and you have a lot more to grow in the future.
They're good looking plants, you've done a fine job so far but maybe could have just started off with a more suitable soil I don't know..

Yeah in the medium I mixed some dug up soil in my garden those soils are heavy

I don't know if it will do much but you can try, if you're gonna do it you might as well do it as soon as possible.

I think LED's in general tend to bring the colours out of most plants that have the ability to turn purple or burgundy, along with cold night temperatures, if that's what you mean.. But changing from white to blue or some other colour isn't going to do anything in my opinion.
Sorry it's hard for me to give a clear answer.. Good idea to skip the 20-20-20, keep it organic(ish) on this one..
Maybe take some cuttings and do a side by side with and without the fertiliser in the future to see the difference in organics vs. chemicals, you could do ganja and some various herbs or chillies or something.. You grow hot chillies?

nice you should start a thread in the 'Gardening' section for those.. That's where you show all the non-ganja stuff.. I've got a few tomatoes and capsicums going now but I kind of neglected them for a while so they're only just getting up to speed..

Yeah and if I used NPK 20 20 20 and if GA is hungry it would sustain her till end but it will not be organic that's the problem 20 20 20 are water soluble so she would get nutrients very fast

I wouldn't do it man I think it's too much risk for not enough gain.. Your choice though mate it's your plant I want you to be happy with the end result and not disappointed because you took too much advice that you didn't feel was right. Just saying what I would do.
