phosphate burn???

[th3bigbad]

ive just sent 2 hours looking throught the FAQs and posts and just can find an answer for my Q. im just starting flowering 4, 3' to 4' plants and just bought some fert that has 10%n/52%p/10%p. my Q is is that too strong in the phosphates for folar feeding or reg soil feeding? ill start mixxing at 1/8 strength and get stronger as time goes by. i spray the pants evry morning with water and on tue. and fri. i folar fed with 30%N10%P/10%P in the growing stages and soil fed once every 2 weeks. should i keep the same regiment for flowering too?this is my first grow so any help will no be waisted. thanx

ill post sum pics, and see what yall think. they are just bag seeds at 51 days in the pics., so if any1 has a any guess what kind ive got that would help a bunch. i know you cant tell the strain but i really dont have a clue what they are. lol

and i dont know if this helps, but the stems have started to turn purple in the last week or so after i flushed the soil.

i would stop the foliar feeding maybe once a week with water.you should also continue the veg nutes for 2 weeks into flower.start out with your flower nutes at 50%.and feed every other watering.

[mscaboo]

also you only water every 2 weeks?

[MegaOctane12]

From what i've read, foliar feeding should be about once a week, and its also best to spray with just water the next day to dissolve any undissolved salts left on the leaves. You mentioned a purple stem, it can be a deficiency but some strains have naturally purple stems. You should be watering every 3-4 days depending on the size of the pot. Also its best to spray just before or after the photoperiod when the majority of the stomatas are open, temps have to be below 80f or they tend to be closed.

If I spray my plants. Which I rarly do.
I use organic Grow Big from Fox farm.
I think you have some sort of Kush from the looks of it.
Those huge middle fingers. And squat Plant structure are Kush traits.

[Jdog7000]

actually it looks alot like OG Kush.
But I doubt that.

thanx for the responses, and sorry for being unclear. i water about every other day. i put fert in the soil every 2 weeks. i spray 1/4 strength growing nutes. on the leaves in the morning at sun up on tue. and fri. and i spray plain water on the leaves every other day of the week. my plants suck up the water really fast, that may be due to the heat "i dont know". they are in 5 gallon buckets. i use about 1 gallon of water each time i have to water. and i just used plain ole yard dirt with a lil perlite.

mrscaboo im confused about what you said about giveing veg nutes. are you saying i should be giveing flowering and veg nutes at the same time?

if u water ur plants in the morning and there's water standing on the leaves won't the sun magnify and burn the leaves?? just a question from things i've heard

[nick19882003]
