Huge plant needs fed every watering?

It is obvious from the pictures that your plants are overfed slightly.

Once your medium is dry, do a reset flush....then Back off the nitrogen and foliar spray with Epsom salt, or increase cal/mag a small bit and monitor pH.

Best of luck.
Peace

You really want to foliar feed buds...??

In Coco?
Coco binds Mg to its fibers and don't release.
" has excessive K naturally

You use tap water?
Probably has enough Ca. If anything use Epsom salts in the feed water@ 1gr per gallon.

Using RO water?
Gotta cut it with tap...

I use tap water but it's not hard water here where I live, I wonder if that's where the calmag comes in.

I'm getting confused over all the mixed answers, i feel like people here skim through what you have to say a lot and don't read the whole post. I've stated my growing medium and stuff already and I've said a bunch of times I'm talking about the lighter colored leaves being weird to me not the darker leaves.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't all stages of nitrogen toxicity progressively get darker? Like leaves noticeably take on a darker color all over and get a waxy shine?

If I'm right.... Why is everyone here telling me my lighter colored leaves are a result of over feeding with nitrogen? I'm confused! Wouldn't over feeding be a toxicity? What gives?

Since I already fed twice and stated that, I'll be adding a light dose of calmag after a good watering, (I can't flush this plant it's damn near impossible) along with going back to my regular feeding schedule with added calmag after that.

I hate to say this but in 15 years of growing off and on I've never measured ph on my tap or runoff, I've never had to. This is the first time I've had any problems I guess. I've been told it's steady here at around 7 and I know the water never leaves stains or deposits.

I've always used good soils and recently added buffers to my soils out of recommendation. Never killed a plant from negligence.

Thanks for all the input and time you guys. I'm not super worried about her like I was. I'll do what I can with all this information maybe I'll find something that works. She is a beast, her stock on the bottom is bigger than one inch.

Honestly bro. I skim your lead post and what's at the end. Text walls I avoid automatically.

I have 3 more same strain all looking healthy green, all clones from same mother.
When flooded with answers... Look into the majority answer then research it and decide.

Ntox imma say no.

All plants from same subject:
Weaker specimen of the group.
Mg def probably.
Stopped grow food too early, possible.
Salt build up possible.
Root zone issue possible.

Close to 4 weeks too..

I think part of it is you have been growing for 15 years
Same as me im at 14 to 15 years

And sometimes you just know what peeps are saying isnt what you want to hear or know to be.

Hope that didnt come off as dick lol

I dont think you have an n tox either but im not a botanist
But your tips looked pretty happy to me

Sorry i dont add more

The photos in the beginning were bad and confused people, I think it's partly my fault for the mis info really. Nobody saw anything wrong with the plant so they looked for something else wrong with my other plants lol.

I don't know if this sounds right but maybe I personally like the looks of a nitrogen filled plant, I like the leaves to have a little bit of shine when in bud, I'm sure that's not beneficial but I like the gorgeous appeal of the leaves when they are darker.

The lighter green threw me off, if all my plants were that color I wouldn't have wondered as much.

Again I'm going with calmag, I have some sensizyme calmag and I'll give her a dose of that tonight with water since I fed last.

This plant drinks over a gallon a day, if I saturate the soil completely it last two days maximum.

I'm in Alaska and the temps drop down a bit on my dark schedule too so they shouldn't need to drink so much. Highest temp my room gets is 77deg and the other plants will last close to a week before they dry up if I saturate them.

:-) you're lucky somebody didn't say mites. :-)

Yeah try the camg and see where it goes. If not come back.

Yeah I like lush green plants too, as long as they don't claw on me. I run purps so no dark green = no purple.

I had mites once waaaay back, I know what they look like so i would've just ignored it. I check my leaves regularly for bugs or signs of them. When I did have mites they only attacked the most potent plant and I got rid of them fast.....never saw any again since. Fuck now I'm sweatin getting bugs just cause u mentioned them.
