I have been picking up a couple gallons of r/o at a time from a local fish store where the water is almost perfectly ph balanced (depends on the day sometimes .1 or .2 off) and mix it with nutes.

R/O is fine..but water from a water softener will kill your plant with salt build up...just thought id ask....how many ppm's of nutes are you feeding her?

To be completely honest i have not invested in a ppm (yes i know not good), Ive just never had a problem like this before. I upped the dose of the nutes, i just had a moment and realized that big bloom is organic which makes it very hard to burn the plant. I used 10 tablespoons for about 2.5 gallons. They recomend 4 per gallon and i have been reading around a lot of people like to exceed it a tad because it wont hurt the plant.

Leaves are still dieing off but there is defeinintly growth by both pistols and the buds themselves. Going to attempt to fanagle the plant so everything is a little bit closer to the light. Pics coming soonish..

bump on the question of weather to give it one more dose of nutes or to flush? Cause idk where this plant should be at considering its life cycle was supposed to be over a while ago.

So lets face it, it wasn't the best grow ever but it is better then my last (considering that was inside of a cabinet with not so optimal lighting conditions). The top of the plant is the best its going to get for the main cola so i chopped off the top and i am letting the rest of the side branches get some extra time under the light. My two new seeds are on the way one being Flower Power and the other being Jet 47. Both are supposed to finish 60-80 days after the seed pops the soil. So lets hope they don't develop the same problems as this plant which outlived its target life by 12+ weeks. So here is the first wet weight after i trimmed. Im not shooting for a huge yeild, once the plant started having problems long ago i knew that wasn't realistic just another learning experience considering this was the first out of 3 grows that i have had to use nutes to keep the plant alive.

Ok so total weights..... I would say 2-3 grams is unaccounted for because it was used for scientific purposes. 8.5 for one part of it and 4.2 for what i couldn't fit on the scale the first times so including the grams dedicated to testing it was prob around 15-16 grams total which is much improvement after my last grow. My seeds for my next project have arrived today but there will be some down time before then (working around apartment inspections). Once they get through my building then the games begin once again.
