First grow ,1 plant, 4weeks into flower stage, need some advise

Well I made it this far! So far so good. I have an Indica strain 3' not including the pot, Using Mg soil, GH 3-part Flora nova, 4weeks into flowering, Nute ratio 0/5/10ml/Gal, looks good I think, Only using 150w Hps, Smells stanky, very few pistles turning brown, some edges of the leaves curling upward, only on top 6" of main cola, light is 8" from top, fan blowing across top of plant, on a few fan leaves tips look burnt, very little, say 1mm. Is this from nute burn? Is this normal in flowering stage? I'm only using 1/2 recomended dose. water/feed etc schedual, ph 6.5 always even water feeds. Was transplanted @ start of flowering. So just wondering if I should up the Nutes? Is their something else to add to increase bud size, like molasses, honey, for bud production, and it has stopped growing 1 week ago. Not that it matters being 3' tall but shouldn't it continue to grow or is it working on the bud production rather than growing? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!:weed:

Well I flushed the shit out of it and there was allot of nute waste coming out. About 3 times amt of soil in pot. Just water Ph 6.5. Still need a little advise.

yeah it's probably very slight nute burn, nothing to worry about but it never hurts to flush just in case, Try a different soil next time like fox farm.

Thanks for the reassurance.
Didn't think I would get a nute burn from only using 1/2 dose?

yes,that is right! that's why I only went 1/2 dose and its been over a month since I transplanted so the soils nutes should be gone now? Can I up the dose or wait considering The tip where a little burnt, maybe I should just feed water next time it needs? Then up the nutes?

I wouldn't change anything. If it was showing slight signs of nute burn that means you are giving it slightly more nutes than the plant is taking in.

Its normal for them to stop. Its not permenent they will grow for a week or 2 after flowering shows signs in hope of catching some male pollin. After that it wil grow very slowly. The first 22 days of flowering are boaring but after that, depending on strain, they will take off and gain weight like crazy.

Any advise on nute doses almost 5 weeks, indica leaning should i up my nutes for bigger bud from 0/5/10//gal to 0/10/20//gal? Just flushed and buds forming nice but I think they could be bigger or do they increase more in the last few weeks? Never seen one of mine finish that's why I ask?

Thought of giving a boost of Shultz Ex. 10/60/10. did at beginning of flower.

For sure I will be flushing last 2 weeks, just Ph adjusted water! I only have one more feed before flushing can I give it a boost of nutes since it will be the last time it gets any?

So the greener the fan leaves are at the start of flower, is a good thing right?
I'm noticing the buds seem to be increasing in size almost daily...very noticeable now!

Into my 8th week(55days). Awesome that I get to see her finish!
I have been doing allot of reading here at RIU and have really started to see things in from a different Spectrum. Keep'n em Green...Til the End? But when is she done? I have been trying this method and my buds are not the biggest but they are full of resin! To look at her... I would say the hairs(pistles) are almost all red 85% apx. But when I look through the scope I see mostly cloudy and some clear trichomes. I would like to see at least a few that are amber but have not see one yet. Also would like to see the buds fill out a bit more. I have only lost a couple of leaves from the start of flower til now, from the Very bottom, trying to keep her green, very healthy so far, she is an Indica strain so... 8 weeks should be done? But what I'm wondering is should I just keep her going until she is Fully Ripe!

She is Done...She was only under a 150 w Hps.
I dont think the buds will get bigger? I am going for Quality Not Quantity or Size.
I just saw amber trichomes yesterday so today I took a few pics...Sorry if they are a bit blurry First time taking photos like this....How does she look Now...
