Hey guys, newbie looking for some help here. Growing in promix bx 7 gallon smart pots, using foliage pro nutes 1/4 tsp per gallon. Plant was doing great but is now showing signs of a lockout or a deficiency of some sort. I am 2 weeks into flower. I flushed 2 days ago, should I go back to a regular feed or a light dose? Should I switch nutrients or add something to the feeding schedule?

1/4 tsp per gallon should be safe for pretty much every watering. If you have a hungry plant that may not be enough. I have only used Pro Mix with some mothers and used FP at about 3/4 tsp/gal every couple weeks. If I was growing a crop with FP and Pro Mix I would feed 3/4 tsp/gal every 3rd watering but my sour d's are light feeders. That's just the way I use it, but it is concentrated and potent so you have to be careful with it. I am inclined to think your plants are underfed. Are you using RO water?

How big is the plant? FP is concentrated but your PPMs should be higher in this stage so 1/4 tsp isn’t cutting it. Also, it looks more like a ph issue to me. Check your soil and check your nutrient solution. Right now, I would do a foliar spray.
I am just using regular tap water. So with dyna gro it is better to give it a higher dose of nutes but less often with regular waterings in between?

The foliage pro is all you need.
My immediate thought is ph issues. Before your next grow get yourself a ph meter and always adjust between 5.8 - 6.5 with 6.0 - 6.3 being the sweet spot (different nutrients like different ph ranges) You could foliar spray now but considering ph’ing with the strips isn’t accurate the spray probably won’t do much of anything. I foliar spray until the third week of flower and then stop and never had any issues.
