She has been flowering for about 19 days in soil; and will be for another 41 or so. For food/watering i was giving less than half a teaspoon of Colossal Blossoms in the water every 3-4 days. Today I just flushed it out completely to see if the fans + lower leaves recover any. Ph is at 6.8 and room temp is at 79. Any suggestions? I know people knock bagseeds but thats how i earned my starter greenthumbs. So far the bud smells like sweet sweet candy. I have new seeds on the way from seedboutique so i'm looking forward to that. :peace:

advice- never grow a plant in the sink ;P whats the numbers on your nutes? npk amounts? you mentioned feeding w/ nutes during every watering? if thats so it just maybe the case, generally you dont wanna nute every watering. personally in soil i use 2 on 2 off nutting schedule, 2 waterings will be w/ nutes, next two w/out nutes. you do this to decrease any chance of salt buildups in the soil from only feeding them nuted waters. so yea to me as well it looks like nute burn. not from over nuting per watering, but maybe from nuting every watering and never leeching the soils?

aren't the larger leafs supposed to 'yellow' and fall off while flowering? looks normal to me.

----edit-----

okay, i after looking at the pics again especially the middle one, it is nute burn. after you flush it it'll be fine, they look healthy!

Hey all; thanks for some feedback. And yea... I lawled at the sink advice ;p . Yea... I believe my problem was my 0-50-30 bloom formula. Heavy on the phosphorous; which is giving me dry/brittle leaves and dark black/green circle/splotches. The flush helped moisen the leaves during the next day or 2. Still worried tho; for the spots seem to be moving their way to the cola leaves. I am however getting newer leaves in the lower shoots and soon will start filling in over the next 3 weeks as the top has.

I decided to squeese-a-bud today and my my; its pretty dense and the resin is packing in already. As I rubb my thumb and pointer finger together its sticky as hell; and smells like some sweet candy from childhood. I'll post more pic's over the next few weeks to see its progress.

I would say the number in the N-K-P. Too much phos.The plant only uses what it needs.Growers always opt for high numbers in the phosphorus,why? I do use Phosphorus when it needs it,plus if your May J's are flowering fine,then why oh why load it up with a high number of phosphorus? Learn to read what a plant needs and the use the correct method of nutes to keep plant healthy.The plant does have nice bud formation though.
