I didn't over-feed,neither did I 'fuck it up' but thanks for the input bud.

Holy fuck 3.0? 2 burns my shit, I like low ec all day
A lot of things can change demand for nutrients like how quickly the medium dries, light intensity, c02, VPD. In a dialed environment where limiting factors are removed you can feed 1000ppm to a just rooted clone.
Did you READ my post ? not once did i say YOU did anything ! I asked WHY you thought that the buds were (your words ) Freakishly enhanced by adding LESS nutes to keep them from getting locked up .
I also stated that "getting what the strain has to give " (also your words) , that as most of us have found out ... is that LESS is more with this strain . & giving it mote than it needs causes locked up budset .
If its personal preferance that you like the buds better smaller & tighter , thats fine , i have no problems with that . i was curious
as to why you think Less nutes is freakishly enhanced .
One huge factor I noticed with the glue is she really dont like cold temps. I had all type of issues, looked like under feeding or maybe nute lockout, i was at about 1300 ppm. my temps were varrying between 45-70. Well i turned off my exhaust fan and all the fans in the room and let it cook in the 90s, within 1 day im seeing all types of healthy new growth, 3 days later it looks like a brand new jungle.
dansbuds is right.. .. iuno I don't think this dude understands whats up.. some plants dislike lotso f nutes.. even JOESY said it on the adam dunn show podcast.. that this is a LIGHT FEEDER. lol.. and by no means does less nutes = bigger airy buds . not with this strain lol this strain less nutes = bigger nice dank tight buds.
Most plants don't like large temp swigs. It will effect all stages of growth. 95% of all my feedings are 1.EC. A few feedings during the flowering stage get bumped with kelp/humic/more base to 1.3ec/. None of my seedlings get food until 3-4" tall about 4th node set. My soil mix will feed them fine until then. This is what I do with all of my plants not juts glue.
3.0 ec ? I have never seen anyone run that high of ec.
i was referring to bubba urkle making up the burkle. i want saying bubba was in urkle.
i havent thought about urkle since 2006. i havent seen it since then either. i was always told it was a pheno from somas lavander line. but i dont even know if i remember that right.

support your local surfboard builder...
still waitin for the real deal....but lettin these lil boogers escape/crack....
Lots of people back east I knew would run 1800-2100 PPM, i've definitely seen it. Its completely ridiculous but it does exist.
On another note, Third is a perfect example of why low nutes does not equal "light airy buds". He's got some of the highest yielding glue in the country and doesn't ever crack 1.4EC if I remember correctly. People should take this as a lesson and dial in their environments instead of just upping the feeds to get "better results".
@dansbuds what I was meaning is in my mind buds that are fed high EC and a shedload of boosters are freakishly enhanced,not the other way around.
sorry if I came off like an asshat.

Agreed.
Lower ec is better than over doing it anyday. Just try to stay consitant.
45-70 is quite a bit swing in temps especially if a particular strain dislikes low temps. I bet the sativa's and tropical landrace are some that might not be agreeable in that kind of environment.
Is 1.3 EC just for base nutrients micro/grow/bloom, or does that include cal/mag, silica, sugars, etc.?
Could improper EC cause poor bud growth? I am having pitiful results, but my plants had heavy mite/thrip infestation right before flower.
Does anyone run florkleen occasionally, to get rid of salt buildup in coco?

I have never had a strain yield more at a 1.5ec than I have at 1.2 or 1.0. That's probably a result of the combination of coco and a mediocre farmer, but it's what works over here, especially for the glue. She loves the N but still don't like much more than 600ppm, doesn't burn she just slows down and that salt starts building up
