your soil ph is fine, i can see why sprout has stated it looks like your overfeeding, because of the dark green look, but you have a nitrogen deficiency going, the plant has a natrually dark green look to it. the leaves would also show some other type of stress not just the dark green

i would give it some nitrogen

you using the bloom fert now? how often was you feeding before this problem started? and how much?

:yeahthats: Hey Stitch, keep it rocking girl.

Hey there suby, do i know you? thank you very much for the comment its much much appreaciated :D

yup temps with high issues like that can mimic nutrient prblems or toxic problems

get the temps down first then go from there

see how the leaf tips are curling upwards? thats a sign of heat or raidant heat issues......

can be other signs too but with this issue you have its caused by heat

Stich you may recall Jinxie from OG, i usually leave the sick forum to the pros ;).
Besides all answers are usually easily diagnosed with your sticky thread, a classic and in my saved collection with 3LB, varaan's stuff, etc.

88? ouch that's toasty, it looks like low RH is a factor too, they get nute fussy sometimes at low RH.

i am just wondering why this happened all of a sudden.
At the beginning of the post your plant looks really healthy and then all of a sudden things went horribly wrong, fast.

Clearly you were doing things right in vegg but as soon as you started feeding it flowering nutes things went wrong.

In my opinion your feeding regime in flowering needs thinking over.

First off, do not switch directly away from your vegg nute to your flowering nute. Instead try to reduce your vegg nute and increase your flowering nute over a period of 3 weeks. This will reduce stress since the plants don't decide they need different nutes all of a sudden, it happens gradually as flowering progresses. I would only start adding an additive like big bud as of the 4th week of flowering personally and I would listen to the others on the amount to feed. I don't know the stuff but it sounds like you are feeding too much of it.

I had very similar symptoms feeding too much of Bio-Bizz Topmax too early on in flowering.

Instead of spending 30 dollars or so on a booster like big bud, i would spend something like 3 dollars on a good nute instead. I know you might want to believe buying the more expensive stuff will give you better results but that is like trying to train up a bodybuilder by just feeding him steroids and no food.
The bodybuilder will need food to build up his muscles, give him steroids and it will go faster but steroids alone and no food will not have very good results.

yea I know man I look at the beginning post and the latest and it makes me real sad.. I don't want my plant to die.. i need this stuff... my current stash is almost gone.. and i have serious back probs : /

I only spent 10 dollars on the bigbloom.. and I've lowered the amount of nuits too 2 tbs of big bloom and 1/2tbs of grow big.. hum up to 41% and temp at a steady 88, going to buy a cooltube today so hopefully that will help lower the temp somemore.

another random question whats best for feeding a rooted clone? i lucked out this plant is easy to clone so I have one clone going.. and another seed sprouting just incase. : /

sucks though i have no of getting anymore seeds..don't think i should trust the mail... who knows... if this other sprouted seeds goes out and my clone dies at some point.. this is gonna suck. how sketch is the mail?

nope thats foliar feeding... normal watering 4 tbs at least on my bottle.
What they list on their website is not foliar feeding. They give a rate for seeds and clones as well.

some o fox farms feeding requirements is outragous for cannabis, there stuff is strong and burns easily on cannabis.

i wouldnt go over 1 tablespoon and thats only every 2 weeks if your soil is good

i wrote a book about the sck plants guide, gots loads of more information in there.. will be out on shelves this year...
