So PPM of 3900 is probably a tad high.

What's your feeding ppm. Sounds like your running hot how that plants look?
The plant look ok.. smells like ass though..Off the top of my head, i think i read it at around 900 when mixing everything ...
And my bad on the lack of info.. i actually thought of that after i closed my laptop..
using Advanced nutrients mixed at about 75% into Fox Farms soil... I'm coming to the end of week 7 of the flowering cycle.
Like it stated, the Plants look good, they just smell and not in a good way..And stupid me couldn't figure out the smell it was putting out until the other day when i was mixing my nutes and i clicked that the plant smells like the chemicals i'm pouring in it.

LOL..I thought I was high at 2400ppm! 75% ANs formula is most likely way to hot for the end week 7 of flower, unless it's a MONSTER plant. I'd give it a heavy watering with a good amount of runoff and start doing water only fromy here on out, assuming it's a 8-9wk strain, your soil is probably loaded with excess nutes.

what advanced product are you using? Their hydro stuff isn't made for soil, the ones for soil are called heavy harvest which is geared toward outdoors and their indoor stuff is called iguana juice I think. If I were you id flush that out and get the fox farm soil products to feed it with if you can. Either way flush her good and start out lower, or let her go a little and eat up any residual leftovers before starting nutes again. Also if you are new to soil you don't need to feed every time, I used to go feed, water, water, feed, letting it get fairly dry between each one, the dry time is just as important as watering for soil grows.

Krippling's Incredible Bulk is about the only plant I have ever grown indoors that looked remotely capable of full strength feeding..... that thing gets HUGE.....

Blah, its all just water... Get you some A/B, a splash of cal-mag (any brand) and some good root innoculat (I use great white/orca)
The additives are all hype, just colored water.... if you grow in dirt, add some fresh compost to every bucket, and you just outdid every AN additive combined, lol.

Measuring runoff is the path to madness. Unless you see serious problems with your plants, don't do it. AN is a scam...I mean they have "premium" pricing...because of their stupid artwork. If you like paying for the funny pictures on jugs of mostly water, fine. Jack's 20-20-20 and Blossom Booster 10-30-20 is just about all you need in soil. Throw in some EWC and compost and you will be crushing and it will cost you a fraction of AN. If you really like throwing money away you should just PayPal me the difference.

Thanks for that. The internet can really blow sometimes for new people like me. I've been using their sensi bloom and grow, big bud, voodoo juice, bud candy, b52 .. and some other fancy marketing stuff.. No wonder my other plant is doing so much better because I've been giving it more water than nutes.. live and learn I guess
That's awesome.. I know that they are killing it with their marketing & I know that I was probably over paying .. in pretty wise to that sort of crap...but they are so good at laying out a path to follow and i was new and in a hurry because I acccidently popped a seed..now that I've read more there's other avenues to take for sure.. i should've just given you the money lol!Measuring runoff is the path to madness.

I love this info. Thank you!
Yeah when I saw that yesterday I flipped.. I'm done with the nutes now.. water time
Would it be fair to say that the nutes might be the cause of the fowl smelling buds? And would flushing hopefully fix that? I mean, they look fine.. stems are a little purple and I just noticed very light browning of tips on some of the leaves , but nothing major. Just the smell! And I cut off a bud just to kind of teach myself a little bit of the final step of drying and curing, and it smells like grass in the jar!
Better watch that. Gets you 18 to life and sometimes a wife

A bit of straight up water for a bit might work wonders, or you could flush it once real good then resume feeding after it dries. Don't stress it, your smoke will turn out fine I bet. It smells so weird when it first goes in the jar! You are doing fine. Cheers!
I love this question... no i haven't watered to run off, except for a couple times unintentionally.. like last night when i decided to test the ppm... But tonight i dumped 3 gallons of RO water through it and the immediate PPM dropped down to 1500...I just dump the excess water, if thats what you mean by what do i do with it..
