newbie and experiencing problems

It being root bound is making things worse to.

That's a cheap nursery pot. Take scissors and cut the pot off. Be gentle and it won miss a beat. Dig a hole in the ground and fill with good soil. Transplant and that plant will look better.

Do you know what mycorrhizae even does? The plant doesn't use it, it creates a symbolic relation with the roots to aid in the uptake of nutrients which by the look of his plant he has little of. You ever hear ppl talk about fuzzy roots or hairs on the roots that's the good bacteria and fungus. Before you tell someone to feed their plants with any kind of mycorrhizae product first know what it does. Also while I'm a fan of Roots products oregonism xl isn't worth getting in my opinion. Great white, Mammoth-p, are good I use them. recharge from what I've heard is pretty good stuff. I've provided you a link so as you can educate yourself on what this stuff really does.

Okay, been using roots for a a few years now and have had no problems; not saying it's an alternative to Recharge but for those who want to go 100% non synthetic that is the only way to go. I'm not saying to go out and buy any old mycorrhizae product, that is just one of the main ingredients of the products I listed. I also stay far away from making my own nutritional teas as they are a pain and expensive, easy to screw up if you don't know what you're doing.

Recharge is the most powerful stuff you can find! I asked the company if they put in any synthetics since it works amazingly well. Didn't get an answer back but if that's what your plant needs, if it's seriously deprived it will knock it into next week. My grows work a little differently which may confuse some, I don't like to mess around with supplements so I just use the actual nutrients as my soil instead of just throwing in potting soil. I'll throw 30+ mineral additives and let the soil cook for months, that's why Roots has worked well for me since there is constant essential nutrients for my plants throughout it's life cycle. Instead of nutrient teas, I can just throw in more of my mix.

And yeah four weeks into flowering is great time, I would even say more important during flowering to keep your plants healthy; but no worries you can get your plants back in order. I don't like flushing which is why I stay clear of synthetics, so I don't end up smoking any of it; but Recharge should be alright to use till the end.

what part of "your plants don't absorb 99 % of your nutes, they absorb 1% in the form of ions" do people have trouble with? and do your plants care whether they get the essential 16 from chemical ferts or "all natural" means? they couldn't give a fuck less, as long as they're getting what they want.
the only difference between using chemical ferts and composted soil is you have to get a little more run off using chemical nutes, so the salts don't build up in your soil....the rest of it is shit people tell themselves to justify what they want to do

It has nothing to do with quality of your buds, just less work for me.
