hit them with some foliar Florel
3 days later almost all pistols brown at 3 weeks

2 k side light 1 k top
Fox Farm full line follow schedule exception of solubles full tea spoon instead of the 1/4 which is the norm for these monsters
On water days teaspoon of ff guano, 2 teaspoon Neptune kelp meal, 2 teaspoon of neem meal

They grew daily fed twice per week water twice per week with organics and not watering they were sprayed with ff foliar flower kiss with 3 ml of cal mag which is really good this system showed growth every single day

Until second app of florel it has been 3 days with no growth halfway threw week 3 and all pistols are brown

Why the 3 day stall?

Heat is close to 90 in spots never above
PH is probaly a tad of as usual with lime in soil which is happy frog ocean forest blend perlite 33 33 33
I don't understand three days no production

Should I cut 2 teasoons of grow out for 2 weeks?

You are bombarding that plants with nutes. Too many feelings , high heat.
You are the road to hermie town.

Put up some pics.

I use FF nutes and never go max. This nute line locks out quickly if you don't keep nute trio to no more than 1:2 strength. Plus you have to flush periodically. You have give plant time to accept nutes and GO DRY before watering. There is no time between 2 feedings a week PLUS watering. It take up to four days before plants need to be watered.

Letting your plant go dry is not a good idea. Fine root tips die off and if you're using microbes they will die off too. Since you're feeding with chemicals you don't have to worry about the latter, but you do need to keep your roots healthy and the fine root tips are your surface area... not to mention it changes the medium pH significantly (wet vs dry).

Anyway without pics it's difficult to know where he's going wrong.

Brown pistils can mean many things. He could have sprayed them with a foliar like sodium bicarb which causes them to die off. He could have pollen flying around without knowing it. There are many potential answers. We need pictures.

None of my plants go more than 2 days without water when they're healthy in RLOS. My coco plants are watered daily and could be watered more often. One drinks 3 gallons a day by itself. You should never let your root zone dry out it is such a major cause of problems.

They would starve honestly your mileage may vary the plants arnt new and the regime whats going in the soil isn't either this is not related to what's going in the dirt

completely forgot they have been getting baking soda sprayed 1 had pm on lower leaves so sprayed them all twice a week I case it spread same plant twice flower kiss killed it 1st time this time needed bit more but it never molded in 2 years now this

That will kill pistils.
 
So is the growth stunted for good or will it snap out of it? Going on day 4 and no new growth

In my experience it tends to really stunt growth. Whenever I use it I am very careful to avoid pistils. It will come back though eventually - I think. But no doubt some damage was done it won't fully recover from.

6 weeks to go but day 4 no new growth this looks like it may be screwed never had pm before saw it freaked hit em all with soda many times last time with that florel this what it is damn
 
Don't mean to hijack your thread but can you start seeing pistils after only two days in flower? I swear I can see hairs popping out the top of two of my plants!
 
Seen them in veg
It wasn't hairs after all. They grew leaves, wah! But I do think my plants need to stay in veg a little longer. A grow friend here said to put my Pure Power Plants and AK-48s into flower after 24 days. They look great and are about 7 inches tall. Nirvana advertised that the AK-48 can grow to maturity in 48 days, hence the name. I've had them on 12/12 for three days now. But I'm concerned that it's too soon.

Am I understanding correctly that they can grow as much as another foot in flower? Cool 'cause if so, they'll be fine.

Couldn't tell you about the stretch on 48 flip at 7" couldn't imagine many strains giving you a problem
Veg longer depends on what your trying to accomplish
Who dosent like trees?
