How green am I

Just a tip. Always show a full plant picture for feedback. No one can tell anything from a few loose leaves.
Thank you for the tip/advice.
I only took a picture of the leaves as one member had said that the plants maybe looked a bit green and I could be using too much nutes. I should have photographed the whole plant, which I shall do tonight.

Thank you for the message.
I use less nutes than the directions on the bottles state. Once I'm a bit more experienced, then I may start to use correct dosage. I'm just a bit over cautious.

"Correct" dosage is according to the plant, n it looks like ur doing OK so far..

Remember when you look at the bottle.... they WANT you to use a shit ton... Advanced has a habit if having you use 2-4x whats needed... I got a sample of MegaCrop from this site, and never went back... all in one dry formula. Same for veg n bloom, just adjust strength according to plant size n stage... but thats after years of Advanced... if what you gots working, maybe dont mess with it... save that for a later run.

There is NO CORRECT DOSAGE ... feed schedules - bottle labels , etc. should be a guide only.
Strains have different needs ... some like lighter , some like heavier . Some like more frequent feeds ... always go by what that plant looks like. Look out for clawing - deep color / shine - burnt tips - etc.

As well as lightened leaves , yellow , pale green going in to deficiency territory.

Leaves look good , a bit green ( nitro ) ... back of a 1/4 or 1/2 strength ... you should be fine as it has obviously stored it . Don’t know the specifics of your grow ...
How long and what stage .

Thank you for the message and advice. Yes, I agree that the nute guides on bottles are only that, a guide. My plants have just started 4th week of flowering. I use much less than the guide states. Most companies will state to use more than required, just so we can buy more. I test EC and PH nightly and feed accordingly. Rarely, if any yellowing, curling, pale etc.

I fully agree that manufacturers will try get us to use more than required. I do try gauge by how the plant looks. I check EC and PH nightly and feed accordingly.

Don’t pull perfectly fine leaves ... that was unnecessary.
Thank you for the message and advice.
Yes, rather dim of me to destroy good leaves. My plants don't have many unhappy leaves. And as someone had asked about leaf colour I just cut to photograph without thinking. I will definitely be a bit more wise in future.

Are you saying my plants have no chance of surviving? :(
No just those leaves. :bigjoint:

On a serious note, I have seen plants where every leaf is burned beyond any use and the plants still finished.

Im sure your plants are just fine and will live a short but long enough life to fulfil their purpose.
