I DID end up adding Big Bud and Nirvana and concentrated Sea Kelp instead of just str8 H2O after 3 days of dry out. I'm wrestling with straight water or full time feeding during mid flower. I've Never come close to burning or dis coloring yet in the cycle since week 2 of veg (newb rookie mistake) and only 1 plant. So I'm thinking. If the girls are handling Everything I'm throwing at them...why not keep pushing...right? Then I hear,..."salt buildup"... "need a break",... Etc etc. I couldn't just give them water knowing I only have maybe six more feedings b4 flush with any of my eight ladies. Getting nervous like a mother on my first harvest. All is well except for........drumroll.......trichome land....when do they frost??? I'm stressin! I have microfrost on one. But. Yeah. Nervous. I long vegged. And gradually flipped to 12/12. Never do that again. Newb. Input? Ranting I know. Thanks
Thank you for input. This plant I tagged as Afhagi #1 and I ain't so sure. This is one weird Sista. High glossy leaves, budded way later than all else. And yeah someone else commented on age difference. Very astute. Prob two of my eight are 2.5 weeks older than rest. Again, newb. I'll post other leaves. Way diff.

2 8Ball Kush (Barneys Farm)
2 Afghani #1
1 Ice 1 Special Queen (Royal Seeds)
Yeah my other leaves all look fine. This other (which is tagged Afghani, it can't be, it's gotta be a f'up, it might be Special Queen)

Growdict--this just happened today after I watered the lightest feeding other than str8 h20 (which I've only done twice in 78 days from seed. The 7 other plants didn't flinch today, I used big bud, nirvana, and sea kelp concentrate (second time I've used this product). Extremely concentrated. .25 tsp : 4 gals. I think she's just happy

ya, it could totally be genetics and seeing those lush dark green leaves makes everything seem good, except like i was saying about now she should be starting to run lower on nitrogen. i usually water every second feeding but i am fairly new as well. take my advice with a grain of salt, you are on site and know your plants better.

I normally do just water ever 3rd or 4th feeding.

You're a bit heavy handed with the N. I would give plain water next. When you do feed, don't hit them so hard. Less is more

Is a flush really the solution? It seems like you're going from one extreme to the other.
Wouldn't starting feeding back at a lower feeding size and just going for 20% run off enough? A little clawing is nothing to flush your system for.

it isnt just the clawing it is also the color of the leaves. IMO it is heavy with N, but again it could be genetics. when i say flush i mean plain water flush with as much run off as container size. so a 5 gal container will probably take about 7-8 gallons of water to give you 5 gallons of run off and will require 2-4 days to dry out. This wont take everything out of the system, but will lower all nutrient levels so when he puts back a bloom nutrient it will allow more P and K. he is at 3 weeks in flower and needs to switch to bloom nutes. again just my opinion

In nature plants receive a small amount of nutrients throughout their life cycle, they don't get hit with nutrients every third rain or something of that order...
So I prefer to feed with every watering, obviously lower amounts during early life and just before chop. The most important time for packing on weight is during stretch, so you should match feeding strength with the rate of plant growth. Slightly higher ppm in flower than in veg. Just start low and adjust from there, it's a learning experience don't rush into it or your babes won't be happy.

Nice Stacking! Shit just over half way thru flower those buds kick ass. Yeah I think I could nute every watering these things have never shown signs of over nuting and I've always gone on the lighter side of recommendations. I flushed once. Hit em pretty hard (14-1700) twice so I thought I'd lay off. Just kelp, nirvana, and big bud. That's when this glossy dark green sister started her curl. Alls well in ganga land as far as I'm concerned I'm just waitin on frost. First run I'm impatient.

I'd just give it some ph'd water for one feeding depending on what Ur using but they are from seed I take it so dark leaves could be nbd honestly looks like some of your pistils are burning up so u could be running high for your system can't really help without all info

And just give normal amount that you feed don't flush flush you don't have nute lock you don't need a full flush
