that is what general, all around plant hunger looks like, that 1/4 strength stuff doesnt cut it for plants that are flowering

i always over feed so this time i tried the other end of the spectrum. i read on here the other day i should feed 8 ml of bloom...about 1 1/2 teaspoon. should i do this every watering? or skip one then feed again?

 

[Guest]

feeding should be done approx 1 time per week, as for the concentration it should be full strength, i dont use flora nova or else i would be able to shed more light on this for ya

Dooooooddddd that is a hell of a lot of lime man! 1 tablespoon per gallon?
NOrmally it's like 1 cup of lime per cubic foot of soil.....

around 15 gallons of soil......

1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water? how often are you watering?

Looks like nitrogen has sucked your plant dry, no point now in fixing it. Just ensure you use nitrogen for the first 2 weeks of flowering and then just use the bloom nutrients;You fed your plants way to much and caused burning and most likely the lock out of nitrogen. DO NOT listen to the back of the box/bottle; more burns have happened this way than anything else man...

feed weekly with your nutrient using no more than 1 tsp per gallon of water.
every 7 days......

ALso the bigger the plant the more food; but your plant is small does not need a lot; you are ramming them with to much...... they need a nice drink every now and then.......

i watered t about twice a week. i thought i had too much lime but i wasnt sure..once again bad advice . oh well its all a learngin exp. next time ill have to do it differently i guess

Also, because you are using 150 w, you need to back off the food even more. Assume companies are using perfect gro setups with multiple 1000 w lights when they print dosages on the bottles. The less light energy, the less food the plant needs.

You need to get learn and master ph as well.
