Thoughts on my plants?

Hey folks, got real hectic last couple weeks and could t watch them as close as I had been. 1st real time growing in 4x3 under stairs build out. FFOF soil and nutes, 3 gal fabric pots, day 45 flower, Barney’s critical kush and Grimm Durban nights. Temp/humidity average is good, but can spike a little higher than would like at times.

I think I may have overdone the nutes and burnt 1 badly. The others show some but we’re not as bad. For past two weeks no nutes just water. Also I think it might look like some mold on top of one of the colas, but under a loupe it just looks normal. Am I over thinking and worrying, any input about my girls is much appreciated!IMG_0516.jpegIMG_0517.jpegIMG_0516.jpegIMG_0517.jpegIMG_0518.jpegIMG_0519.jpegIMG_0520.jpegIMG_0521.jpegIMG_0522.jpegIMG_0523.jpegIMG_0524.jpeg

They will survive, and all things considered, they look pretty good. I don’t see any mold, but continue to be vigilant!

Before reading I was thinking over fed, the super lush ones tipped me off. What week are you in, my guess would be 45-50 days?

It can take time to dial in your nutes, I’ve got mine dialed in to where I only add nutes every other watering but it’s medium dependent. With something like Promix I do 2 fert feeds, 1 plain ph’d water. When I ran Fox Farm I did 2 feet feed, 1 ph’d water, this helped prevent salt build up and my plants thrived.

Next round adjust you feed schedule a bit and if you still burn or your plants or get nute deficienct, you dial it up or down a bit next round. Feed charts or user advice is only suggestions though, you gotta find your mix.

Don’t take this as being real critical of your grow, all in all they look stellar (just have a look around RIU).

I think it looks damn good for a first run in a new space, on top of running FF nutes. Lots of people struggle with them. I just think they’re misunderstood. You’re doing a good job with them. I don’t see mold either, but one of those tops looked like it was ripening up top. That may be what you meant, but it’s not so clear.
i would still be feeding them til at least the bud actually forms it’s surface before I started to lower their feed. They look like they’d easily go 10-11 weeks. You want that fuel (food) to be present when she wants to pack on her weight.
Which nutes are you using? The trio? If so, which bottles have you been using in flower? And at what dose?
Did you flush at all prior to flower?

Thanks for the feedback! So get back feeding even with the burning? Yeah using the trio from FF and also have their cal mag. I didn’t flush prior to flower went straight from the veg nutes to big bloom and tiger in flower. I was thinking this pic at the top of the cola looked moldy, but you’re thinking it is just ripening?

Thanks, didn’t take it as critical at all! Appreciate the feedback. I was basically doing a gallon dose of FF nutes from the chart every other watering when first switched to flower. Last two weeks haven’t done any nutes. Yeah day 46 of flower. Have lots of salt buildup on fabric pots.

I still find it to be a bit blurry. Considering the pistils on top are all orange/brownish there very well could be an issue. Need a much closer look at it.

Can you get that spot in focus? Because it's blurry, one would assume they're just trichomes, but it looks suspect.

nothing wrong with this grow for a newbie. Be proud of the soon results. Experience will tell you the burn tips most likely a bit too much nut. burn. dial back a bit next time learning. Less is best and not more is better. MORE nuts then needed which is alway the case going by manufactue recommendations will just kill plants and make you but more stupid game of nut companies. Start small amounts work up nuts till you see no burn or just wee but tip burn. Called dialing in the grow. good luck...
