When you say “basic feed schedule” you mean?
Following the feeding on general hydroponics, which I have.
or just water the whole time?

I’ve had a steady PH of 6.5 the entire grow. Hasn’t fluctuated at all.

Sorry I wasn't clear on that...ha...uhmm idk I kinda jus grow by feel n look of the plant it jus comes natural to me...but I guess what I mean by basic is I gotta Grow bottle n a Bloom bottle...Advanced Nutrients...and Big Bud as an enhancer during flowering...I start feeding half recommended dose first sign of bottom leaves lightening usually bout week 3of veg...them once a week half dose of grow nutes till 2nd week of flower to gettem thru stretch...then half dose to full dose of Bloom nutes once a week till 2weeks before harvest them straight water throughout grow...cap of molasses in water bout every 10days to 2weeks throughout grow...epsom salt n dolomite lime is mixed into every batch of soil I mix as a staple...the lime feeds calcium n also balances out ur ph throughout grow...epsom =mag...I've never ph'd soil or runoff or water in my life...so I guess that what I mean by basic n simple...my perspective anyway...ha

If a plant looks hungry ill feed more often or up the dose a tad...if its green n has mildly burnt tip which I like bc lets me know she's eaten good, then I'll back off a week or so...but I always use same routine of nutes I've found it gives me good healthy plants flawlessly like clockwork...n just watch the plant...I promise itll tell u if its hungry, happy, mad or sad...
I think for soil ph is pretty much unnecessary...in my experience anyway

Great question and new avi.
Simply put weed plants grow themselves
We put them in confined spaces , give them high nute regiments , cram as much as we can under man made artificial lights . Every time things have gone wrong it was cause I did something wrong. God knows I ruined at least 5 harvests already and am wiser for it.
These problems happen usually do to diet. That being light, co2 , nutrients water intake. Your plants leaves are the voices of your plants telling you They are happy or not.
It to mention temps and humidity can cause bud to rot and mold.
At this point your close to the finish line .
I’m hoping that my fear that the amount to light to plants is a bit off which can through off the whole metabolic rate. I’m so weary of these leds that don’t cost much so I spoil mine and give them more room than they need.
Stay positive and watch them ... I remember the first and best advice I got a decade ago from a video on YouTube had some guy pop out and just yell watch your plants like 3 times.It’s funny but true .
And outdoor weed suckS most the time unless you live in prime locations and are a master outy grower ...

How far into flower are they and are the brown spots fuzzy because if they are it's rust fungus (really bad) if it's just the brown spots just calcium defecancy

So my feeding schedule has been. Every 3/4days, feeding nuts everytime and just distilled water every 4th time. Example. Nuts, nuts, nuts, water, nuts, nuts, nuts, water. Just picked that up from what I read and it’s seemed to have worked well thus far. I also have only used 1/4 or 1/4 what’s recommended for nuts, but during flower I‘be been giving them the full dose of what it asked for. So maybe a nut burn?

Yeah in my opinion there's prolly some excessive feeding goin on..prolly some build up in soil...I always try n get some straight water waterings in between feedings...I would just straight water em for next week to 10days n watch me see how they act...bet they'll like it...should b flushing soil anyway looks like ur not too far from harvest...wouldn't really mess with trying to fix nutrient issues this close to harvest if it were me...I'd just water em

That won’t effect yield? And since I’m been feeding them they won’t be lacking nuts?. They definitely have another month or so in flower.

In my mind I like to picture the soil being healthy n clean so I try n feed as little as possible but definitely feed when necessary...so I try n get as many straight waterings as I can in...pot size plays a big role in all that too...not sure what size ur using...I use 7gallon smart pots...1 to 2 plants at a time small grow...but ima big believer in larger pots as opposed to smaller ones...just makes better plants in my experience and less feeding n watering...root space is important

Yeah man if u gotta month left you'll b needing to feed again for sure...but at the rate you've been feeding I believe some straight water waterings will do you some good...I'm of the belief that a healthy happy plant will give u better yield than a plant struggling with some nutrient issues...being under fed towards harvest by some...it forces the plant to use up stored nutrients in it leaves creating "the fade" effect u see in my pics from post earlier...you'll hear ppl talk abt "the fade" towards end of flower n this is what they're talking about...organic soil growers mainly get it...supposedly creates a cleaner more flavorful bud...n I think it looks cool too...I still get good yields nice buds

Yah I got one for side lighting ... it’s really just old technology.. mars does cheap nice white light leds for dirt cheap . I got a ts1000 . Not as good as my old trusty 400 but low maintenance af! Good for personal stash grows.
