Hi people,
So i grew this plant from bagseed in soil. At first i germed it and left it on a window in the summer sun until it was around 1ft tall, then it went into a tent with a 1000w led* with another more mature plant. The more mature plant showed its sex much earlier than this plant and me being the newb i am put this plant outside out of fear it might be male.

*it was advertised as a 1000w but it was cheap and i doubt that is the actual output, not bad though

I kind of forgot about it for a while and came down one day and it had started flowering (the dank kind not the bad kind) and there were pistils everywhere. I left it outside for maybe a month as i had nowhere to put it, then transferred it to a tent with a 600w hps. Time went on, flowers got bigger and the leafs yellowed like hell due to nitroged def (didnt figure that out till last week), but now they have started going red around the veins and they are growing super slow and im pretty confused. Doesnt look at all healthy. Anyone have any idead whats going on and how i might rectify this?20161021_180924.jpg

general starvation, can't starve em this long and expect one feeding to correct it. keep feeding them, just don't over do it. usually at this point i'd say little or no N, but i think i'd try to end up with something like a 1-2-4 ratio just so the plant can catch up

Sounds as though you haven't been feeding it. Considering you said you forgot about it and came down and magically started flowering. I start feeding once the first set of true leafs pop up and feed my girls until My last watering then they get one drink of pure water.
Treat them as if they were your kids.

That or the P/K are a bit high......thing is I woud add a tic of N to keep formation going.....N never stops being used. The plant does slow down it's need for it. By seeing the the plant being indoors as it is and you describing the yellowing and the progression of it.

Minor N def and the real problem is too much P....bet your feeding a high P/K bloom food. bet you started that too early. The coloring is a byproduct of the higher K! It's bringing out the plants potential to color.......Not at a level I would call bad or "too much" but, I can say confidently that it points to confirming my belief of early/overuse of a P/K bloom product.

So, when did you start the "bloom" feed or PK booster and what is it, and how much do you use at one time?

Yeah i did feed her the pk for more than one week as i lost track of how many weeks she had been flowering etc, it might not be such a bad thing if its not going to affect quality too much. I have balanced the ph to around 6.5 but only during the past 2-3 weeks, so i think its still recovering from the ph being too low. Cheers for the help my dudes
