I'll tell you what this has been an on going problem for a while and I don't get it really. This looks like over watering but can't be because I only water every other day. But as soon as flowering happens last two runs have done this, I need a little help. These are in clay pebbles on bottom perlite on top in a small grow space under 200w led 4sq ft. Small insignificant to anyone but me. The temps are 80 lights on 70-73 lights out at this point there's that fragrant smell I love so the pistils are browning Trichs are clouding the last grow I let the smell subside and it was a lousy grow, leaves were still green yeah on that, I have fed all the way through before and not had leaf death, flushed too! same result. How can the plant grow to death and then be worthless no potency? anyway anything you guys can tell me would help. Oh being as more pistils are coming should I give them one more feeding?

They look weeks early to be thinking about harvesting.. they would benefit from a lesser amount of nutes though. Some pretty serious clawing and curling there

Thanks for that I been giving straight water last watering thinking this water to give tap was just RO with Calmag in your opinion Boatguy do you think I should? Another thing not guessing you know but I use the Dyna Grow nutes because I read somewhere a while back when i problems with leaves yellowing and falling off during bloom to just use it instead of the Dyna Grow Bloom dumb right?

I use the same nutes(i mean same over the whole time, not same as you) , start to finish... the straight water thing makes no sense though.. feed your plants.. flushing is BS that doesn't do anything as far as the plant goes. it only cleans your medium.

Do your plants ever suck the nutes from the leaves b4 you harvest?

Too much nitrogen in flower will cause larf, loss of potency and yield. First 3 weeks run normal veg feed, while SLOWLY introducing higher pk during 3,4,5. Feed nitrogen according to how plant reacts...just enough to keep a light green. Better bud production overall.
Yes indeed, less is more.
Good luck next run op.

I water my plants in coco every single night (about 1/2gallon) .. and i believe your perl actually doesn't hold water as well as coco (i always have used straight coco, never perl)

I’m trying to find a good ppm to feed lightly everyday. Is that what you’re saying you do?

I'm just saying it's what i do... i do skip a night now and then but that's rare.. just to let the coco air out a little. I run 800-850ppm total with 110 being my water. What ppm are you running? sorry if it was above.
