i know most people do not have this problem. but i do. i have an abundance of nitrogen and do not know how to get rid of it. i am 4 weeks into flowering and my leaves are a dark green. i use cal/mag which is 2-0-0 and tiger bloom which is 2-8-4 and also earth juice catalyst which is .03-.01-.10. i use calmag every water and the others everyother water. this seems like to much nitrogen to me what about you guys? is there calmag that has no nitrogen? maybe just use molasses. i have also read that to much nitrogen in flower will make your plant flower slower. is that true?

i heard too much nitrogen makes your plant stretch a lot more in flower but too much of any nutrient will slow your plants flower just as deficiency does as it cant cope with too much or too little. if your plants leaves are too green then i say flush them and leave them to flower without anymore nutes. Thats the thing i dont like about soil, i find it difficult to manage the nutrients.

yeah it is some what confusing since i went from soiless with no nutes to fox farm. i added to much nutes since i forgot that they were in FF this time.

Had this issue with a Lemon Skunk. She had the dark green claw leaves and couldn't shake 'em. Took her down at week 5, she was harshing the tent. I tried flushing and feeding straight Beastie Bloom instead of Tiger Bloom as it had 0 for Nitrogen but it didn't help her. Good luck.

I doubt that you have too much nitrogen. Reason being is nitrogen is the only nutrient that constantly leeches from the soil where as all the others will build up. I refer you to this thread here, read all 50 pages, it will change the way you grow and more importantly you'll stop wasting your hard earned money on over priced nutes that are doing more damage then good.

I followed Uncle Bens advice and my fruits never looked better. I can say that after a year and a half of nothing but small yields and sickly plants. His advice is spot on! It changed everything for the better for me.

If you really wanted to get of the N why not just flush? Unless you're doing hydro I would add lime to the soil and use molasses every watering. If you have a N abundance for sure(pics?) and all that stuff has N in it you're not exactly fixing the problem. My Blue Mammoth had a N abundance for about 4 weeks. I never flushed, but it's just now starting to yellow. Just curious, but why are you using cal/mag every watering? Isn't that a little excessive?
