Flush your medium thoroughly, she's over ferted, possible salts build-up.

awesome cropping in the terrarium thread btw.

anyway may 12th you were feeding 5tsp per gallon fox farm big bloom every other watering.

may 22
"this gal is a big bitch!! been giving her that super natural bloom terra and gave her first dosage of Big Bud today lots of pistils and already showing the transformation from growth to bud and its day 10 flower"

may25
"OH YEAH, I ran out of nutes and the hydro shop was closed so i went to a nursery and picked up a bottle of Flora Nova Bloom and was wondering if anybody can give me an idea as to how strong to mix this brown goopy shit?"

Arrrgh, brown goopy shit indeed greenthumb. If you wanted to switch to chem ferts, you should have stuck with the gh 3 part you have instead of running that precipitated chunkymonkey gloppy shit, but anyway thats just my feelings about the FNB.

agent smith said may25
"FloraNovaBloom gets mixed at 8mL per gallon for full strength"

may25
"thanx smith. now i just have to figure out how many tsp 8ml is lol. i gave her 2.5 tsp last night and she is loving it also my whole garage smells fresh thanks to that carbon filter"

Yikes !

then same day
"wow iv been giving her 2tsp per gallon and shes thriving on it, no nute burn yet not sure how long it takes for burn to show but yeah,nothing."

on the 26th you bumped it up by another half tsp
"i am i think ill bump it up another half tsp"

Agent smith advised on the 26th
"You might want to be careful increasing it any more. I mean, do what you want of course, but I just wanted to put that out there"

you answered...
"... And one of my buddies gives his almost 5 tsp, i dont plan to go that high she is loving 2.5tsp so ill keep it there, so iv seen people that lower the ppm closer to harvest when do i start giving her less?"

may29...
"well guys today's pix are here, shes lookin good. We are 2 days in to week 3 and i am feeding her 3tsp FNB and 1/4 tsp big bud. I plan to stop big bud after week 4 and start AN Overdrive week 5 and 6 and not sure what else after that need to do more research on sweetners and ripeners"


In the pictures that post she was still looking gorgeous imho, a very very slight tip burn and no signs of any clawing or anything alarming yet...in those pictures anyway. She wasn't fried yet...wow.

may30...
"shes showing burn at 3tsp so ill be backing off to 2.25tsp for weeks 4 and 5 and I was thinking bout taking it down to 1.5 week 6 ill be adding AN overdrive for weeks 5 and 6"

Did you ever leech the medium during all that heavy feeding ?
Am I looking at the same plant in your terrarium thread ?

You triple-sure you shook the FNB up throughly? If I fed my gals that kinda food they would have been super fried a long time earlier. :(

I max out at 8ml/gal that's just a tad bit over 1.5 teaspoons. Amazing.

Dude i shake the shit out of that bottle for at least 5 mins,iv read about it before i got it and everybody says to shake the crap out of it so i do, i think ill back off to 1.5tsp, iv been feeding my big gal just water the last 4 or so waterings you think thats enough for a leaching? or should i feed it a few more?

Ok well that's good. I'm suprised the big one isn't going whacky with that heavy feeding.
Looking closer at some of the pictures I can see the smaller plant(s) off to the side and they're looking alot deeper green and somewhat N tox'd. Most likely from not getting the same light intensity the big girl is seeing. btw..I noticed you were talking about the heat since you bumped up the wattage, Beware that if you go back to the lesser watts to combat the heat, the biggie may get tox'd in a hurry

When you're feeding heavy with chem salts like that it's good to leech out the medium once in a while to help carry away built up mineral salts. Normal leeching you put about three or four times the volume of the planters with straight pH'd water, drenching it in and letting it run off until you've poured all the water thru, then after its drained off a while follow it up with a light feeding to replace those toxic salts with some fresh nutes in the medium.

If its an extreme overfert, or a salts tox like your clones you'd leech the soil and not replenish the nutes for a few waterings until the foliage starts showing less over fert (normal color and shape) before feeding again.

With the big girl, since she IS showing some tip burn, I'd just do a good thorough drenching to get a gallon or so of runoff then feed it lightly.
But if it were me, since you had mentioned you still have the gh 3 part concentrates, I'd just mix a lucas mix with your gh 3 part from here on out, instead of messing with the gloppy FNB crap. I'd go like 6ml micro and 12ml bloom per gallon then if she starts looking later on you can always bump the strength or frequency

Finishing wise, I'd drop the strength the third to the last week to a 0-5-10, then straight water the final week encouraging her to yellow off and smoke smooth. I'd even trim out alot of the bigger fan leaves that last week to force her to use up more her food stores so she'll taste smooooth. Keep some lightly moving airflow under and around that dense nug'age scrog canopy in the dark too btw.

A lot of us that use it have found that mixing FNB with an equal part of warm RO or Distilled water allows you to shake it up MUCH easier and better. 5 minutes will NOT do. :(

The good thing is that once you dilute it and do the initial shaking (Takes me about 30 minutes), a 1 minute shake is plenty before mixing a fresh res. Awesome stuff, these nutes are. :D
