anyone else have a preemo crop, that grew big and lush and dank and at the 6-7th week or so, the leaves crisp up and DIE due to either noobiness / impatience / panic / or otherwise just horrible shitty fucking luck

egads...it's just a shot in the dark....but....

it's possible you're doing what is the equivalent of force feeding them....
like peeps they get a tummy ache if stuffed full of food...then something breaks and it dies when you stuff even more in.
far more complicated than my piss poor description makes out to be....but smaller meals might be in order...?
there should be no need to feed them any more than say, oh....maybe 5 times during flowering?

Hi :)

I know this is a silly question ... but hey life's silly at times :)

At what point do thing's start to go wrong ?..and what do you do that's different at that time ?....Could it be that the strain you grow is at the end of it's life cycle and and the process is natural ?

I have crops that seem to mature faster than others , Both in veg and in bloom ... But i grow the same strain each time .
Strain life cycle is not an exact science as far as time is involved .. Might be a case that you should be responding to the plants needs when they need it ... rather than a scheduled time frame ?

Does that Make sense ?

I see feed schedule's that outline when to feed and how much at what time ... But they are just guidelines rather than a strict need ....Maybe respond to the plant and what it wants ?

I feel your pain ...hope you can overcome :)

Peace :)

guys its not strain, its not natural. its noobery at its worst

where the grower THINKS he has it down but in reality is so far behind in the race he actually thinks hes leading.

now the grower of this fail crop, which is not me, is doing light feedings every watering.

light feedings means about 1/8 tsp per quart each of nitro, bloom, and micronutes.

Tell him to open his hand wide, look at it, and insert his face into it. Fail.

you certainly are not alone! chin up!



try feeding every second watering perhaps?

EDIT:
Don't double up the dose either to catch up....leave it as you have it now....if you kill them anyways, it couldn't hurt any to see what "starving" them might do, yes?

no never flushed.

half the growers here that know what theyre doing and ed rostenthal say u dont flush unless overfeeding their crops

if that is the case, then less nutes are needed, not a flush.

but if i knew anything i wouldnt be asking

Well thanks for ruining my moment lol

Just gonna throw this out there, has he checked his ph? you said that he's been giving light feedings each time, I think he should stop doing that.
if you ask me a continuous schedule of light feedings will only increase the amount of extra unneccesary build up that accumulates in the soil. Hence why a flush might be in order. after this you could try feeding them lightly once again.

Personally, I don't like feeding my plants unless they show that they need it. Otherwise I usually stick with 3-4 feeding sessions per flowering phase. I honestly dont see a need to pump the plants up with all the extra stuff that alot of people use. I tend to give them only what they need and let the genetics of the plant do the rest.

well if that is what you think then all the power to yah! just cuz you assume your giving less( which you may have overlooked).... doesn't mean you cannot get a build up of salts or cal which can lockout other nutes ,which can look like a def... but it isn't! ;)

that's why i suggested a flush to clean out the soil, basically refreshing the soil ....and start regular feed schedule once dry!!! maybe look into how much nutes your actually feeding per feed! just a thought...but hey what do i know??? i use Mg :-P

Less is more. Looks like a combination of things to me. Over fed, either bad soil or bad nutes or both. Too much water (could be bad drainage). Not enough airflow. Just do some combination of the aforesaid things right and you will be good. Less is more.

Plant doesn't look great, but the bud there does look salvageable/smokeable. Which kind of liquid nutrients are being used, anyways. Are these nutrients actually intended for hydroponics? Nitrogen should be dropped entirely from the equation during the last few weeks of flowering if not sooner.

If this person is using hydro nutes in soil, stop it. Not saying that plants in soil can't be grown with liquid hydro nutes, I just feel it can lend to complications/just plain isn't intended for the purpose (somewhat like feeding meat to an herbivore).

its bad PH and/or overfed its gunna be fine lol I have fucked up way worse at the last minute but usually its result of neglecting hydro not soil - still yer fine dude its not a big deal - lol @ guy above me saying it looks 'salvageable' - dude its gunna be more then fine...
