What r these dots??

[cwesto]

ok well i was using about 2 tsp tigerbloom and 1 tsp growbig to 1 gal. of water.. I also added 1/4 tsp open sesame every other watering. I didnt think that was overdueing the nutes at all, but i guess i was wrong.

Also today my other and last plant seems to be bending over now. All the main LST'd branches are all bending over in the same direction.. anybody have any ideas what is wrong with this one?

I am only 2 weeks thru bloom, could i get away with triming off the crispy fan leaves on the one plant?? The only reason is they are large fan leaves so im thinking that the plant will try to focus alot of energy on fix those leaves..

Got a friends camera.. here are a few of the fan leaves. Sorry i couldnt get a good pic of the whole plant, but its kind of hard in my cab. The problem fan leaves are concentrated most heaily at the bottom and thin out as the plant gets taller. The said fan leaves go up about 60% of the plants entire height. Hope these pics help

yea i ran 2 gallons of straight water thru thier 5 gallon pots then fed them with 1 tsp/ gal tigerbloom, that was yesterday.

Tigerbloom and GrowBig together? One's a bloom fert and the other's a grow fert. Plus the Open Sesame on top of that.
What does the instruction on the back of the bottles say to use for amount, type, and frequency of feeding? Use that...

a proper flush is 3x the pot size. they're still full of nutes plus you said you added more?? flush with plain ph'd water.

the charts says "week 7 - 2 tsp growbig + 2 tsp tigerbloom + 1/4 tsp beastiebloomz / gallon water" for normal feeding.

Also says use the granual fert (openseame, beastbloomz, cha ching) once every other feeding, which i have been folowing.

That is what i used w/ rested tap water.

My grow shop guy told me to only flush with 2 gallons. His shop is the longest running shop of the type in MI, so i trust what he said. He introduced me to mycrozzia fungi, very smart fellow.



I think my room just has a curse......

It will let me veg a plant.. which i am sweet at, i get em nice and bushy.... but then when i try to flower the demon provokes his curse on my room and my plants turn to death

When you flushed, what was the reading on the runoff pH?
And pre-wetting the new soil isn't really a great idea. The roots aren't in there yet to use the moisture, and it jsut SITS there and stagnantes and creates conditions (aqueous) for any chemicals present to interact in pretty unpredictable ways.
Pot drainage- where are the holes in your buckets? 5 gallon pails have a lip around the bottom edge that prevents draining if all the holes are in the bottom. You say you can veg fine but not flower; I assume you use large pots only for flower? Drill holes in the SIDES too, big ones, like 1/2" or more. You GOTTA get oxygen to the root zone.

Who ARE all these people telling folks stuff? He's got the longest running shop eh? Did he tell you to watch your ph? Is he aware of how your plants look and what kind of food you are pouring on them? How about the drainage situation....he up on that info? If not.....he's either not that sharp and only has part of your story so why are you taking his advice? Why is it that people only hear that part of the story they want to hear?

Ph was about 6.3.

Makes sense about NOT pre-wetting the soil. Ill ttake that into mind next time i transplant, this was my first time..

I cut big suare holes in the bottom, 13 on each bucket, 6 around the very outer edge and 6 more toward the middle of the bottom and one in the middle. None on the side tho...
