They need more p and k in flower, yes. Also less nitrogen is better during flower, but ferts with ridiculous amounts of p are unnecessary. They will use more p, but they can only use so much. More will just cause your baby to compete to get the other nutrients it wants.

After much research and even a poll here, I have come to the conclusion that boosters are unnecessary unless you need to quickly rectify a deficiency. Some people swear by them, but the science doesn't support it. Here are my autos, on day 38. The short one is only on day 27 and I FIMmed it...

Dehumidifier for prevention. Or a good defoliation.

If those leaves aren't getting light, the plant will stop focusing on them. N deficiency is possible too if it starts progressing more upwards. Either way, those leaves are sinks now and probably aren't benefiting the plant at all. I'd snip em.

Looks like sulfur deficiency. You could mix 2 teaspoons of Epsom salts in a gallon of feed and see if that fixes mew growth. I don't believe the leaves currently affected will ever go back to their original green. Doesn't look like heat problems or wind burn, but both are possible.

Look like genetics to me. Bet she grows out of it. Other possiblity would be you started nutes too early.

I learned the hard way and now do not add nutes until the cotyledons start yellowing (about 3 weeks with my GG Autos) and I grow hydroponically so you could probably wait longer. She will let you know or you can start slow and check for burns. Most soil growers I talk to only feed with nutes...

So in week 5, 11 days after the first bracts showed, my girls tripled in size. They went from 8" to 25" in 7 days. Is this good, bad, or normal? I'm using a 300W quantum board. Trying to keep it 18" from the canopy but now its 16" and I cannot pull it up any higher. Just info there, I have a...

Damn, some of y'all need to smoke more weed :lol:

Too heavy on the nutes. She good now!

Turned out she was unable to take the ppms I was giving her. I reeled them back to 700 and she's doing beautifully.

She was not ready for nutes, but she is doing great nonetheless. I popped another and it didn't need any nutes until mid week 2.

She did indeed and she is the dankest smelling by far!

First 2 made it and are thriving. The second two refused to grow and got pulled. Started a new one 9 days after these popped. It popped 48 hours later and is following the exact growth patterns of the first two.

She's 2 weeks into bloom and absolutely killing it, although the other ones smell more dank.

Turns out the cubes were a little too wet and the humidity wasn't high enough. They recovered without issue.

So the tri-leaf has blown up. I can't defoliate enough, she just fills back out. Right now she's busy invading the other plants' light to make room for more tops!

So I transplanted right into DWC buckets without any topfeeding. The roots had no problems finding water and the plants are now 6 weeks old and very happy girls.

Looks fine. Be sure not to overwater and resist the urge to use nutes for at least 1 more week, probably 2.

5 gallon DWC with expanded clay pebbles and rapid rooter plugs. With an auto pH meter, I could set up my single reservoir that feeds into the 6 buckets. This would ultimately save me over 30 minutes each day. That's 40 hours over the course of a standard grow!
