:confused: Howzit going guys, hoping someone could point me in the right direction my plants are in their 7 - 8th week of flowering they've been pumping along really well I've been feeding them growzilla for veging and budzilla for budding but when I first turned to flower I had run out of budzilla so I used some potash for just over a week then got more budzilla all of the tops of the plants are premo looking great but lower down on smaller buds and at the very bottom of a few big ones the smaller leaves are sort of cupping upward (just the zig zag edges) and some also seem twisted they are still covered in cyrstals and look mean but they are a sign somethings wrong and I would love to sort that problem out before harvest, 2 days ago I stmypotplants 001.jpgopped fert and started to leach them using water that had been sitting overnight also added dishwash liquid to get rid ofmypotplants 005.jpg excess salts etc and I've done this last 2 waterings here is a couple of pics of them but this was a couple of weeks ago, any help much appreciated really want to succeed with this lot they look and smell awesome:joint: mypotplants 006.jpg

All I can see are some pretty looking plants. The leaves are a healthy green, I do see a couple of leaves that are cupping slightly, but that could be due to the plant almost being ready to chop. + rep on the plants, and good luck with the harvest.

P.S.- you might want to lay off the dish liquid for the rest of your flushes. I've heard of it being used on the first flush to get rid of the salts, but you want to avoid putting anything on 'em in the last few days that might affect taste.

It depends on when you are harvesting; if within the next week or so just plain water should be ok. If you are harvesting outside of the next week, you might be best to feed reduced nutes until harvest. Flushing is generally done at the end to improve tastes by removing excess salts and letting the plant absorb water that doesn't have anything in it, I just don't want you to starve the thing if you have to wait another few weeks.

I recommend flushing with black-strap molasses to help fatten up the buds and make them sweeter :)
Great looking plants, quite healthy!

thanks for the comments good feeling being this close I'm only just around the corner from the time we all hang out waitin for "goodshit" gonna leave em at least another few weeks tho as they (the buds) are all really awsome form, length smell etc but they can still fatten up quite a bit I took off a nugg the other day and although it was really nice good hit taste it just lost alot of size after drying and in my personal opinion they need to fatten up some more ( it is hard to wait but after all the work and effort put into producing such nice specimins whats a few more weeks especially if it nearly doubles your overall yeild) mmmm waitin waitin waitin!!

Those pics were taken a good few weeks ago now I'll try take a few more recent ones tonight damn they lookin good!!

howzit there Weedoozie! what is black-strap molasses?? Keen on whatever will help them fatten up but I'm in NZ so mightn't be available here?>?

Plants look great. Be careful of letting them go too long. Once those hairs are all red you start losing potency. Get some of humboldts gravity to fatten the buds. Or the molasses. Blackstrap is a type of molasses that has the most sugar removed and the most fertilizer left behind.

Hey, I've got some Earth Juice Hi-Brix I use for molasses. Works really well for me
My 1st grow would have suffered with much less overall dry weight if it weren't for the Earth Juice line including the molasses in Hi-Brix. And it wasn't that expensive because I bought the full Earth Juice line online :)

I use Earth Juice nutrients that I mix into non-chlorinated, pH adjusted water that I then I water my plants with, they like it

I don't know about foliar feeding as I haven't tried it myself but I'm sure you could find tons of info looking it up
