Basically i over fed my girls for a week, as i didn't check my chart at start of week 6

Week 6 canna coco states 2-2.5 a/b i continued to feed at 3-3.5 for 1 week till some one stated i had too much N as i posted some pics i was none the wiser until i investigated my feed schedule.

Start of week 7 I reduced my a/b to 1 ml per litre so that i could try and reduce the amount of N in my coco and gave a little extra feed mix than i have been to try and help dilute the Over nuted coco.

Today on feed time pots seem heavy still i gave them 1.5l of mix @

1ml per litre canna ab
3ml per L canna boost
0.5ml pe L pk13/14

But then it was playin on my mind that they may have lockout so i gave one plant an extra litre of neat water

The other i gave neat water till i have 2 saucers of run off.

I highly recommend getting an accurate tds meter, most of us go off of those numbers-it's more accurate and easier for us to help if we know the ppms you are using. I wouldn't worry at all about the extra nitrogen you gave them, I see plants all the time that don't get enough nitrogen in flower and yields suffer because of it. Aim to keep your leaves looking healthy without any tip burn and you'll end up with a good harvest! Yes, you want runoff with each feed, otherwise the salts will start to creep up in your coco. Good luck!

Ok cheers i will bear that in mind. Up until now they have been drinking well but i haven't really been giving run off. I gave extra yesterday so hopefully it is just extra that has caused the heavy pot and not the other. I have noticed slight tip burn today is thst caused by too much n only or can it be caused by the boost and pk. I was told by an experienced grower to continue using pk to the end where as my chart states only one week. Also my chart states to use boost from day one of flower where he told me to use from week 3 or 4. So i reduced it from week 2 then crept it back up on week 4 to max at week 5 :?

If you don’t have an EC meter you are shooting in the dark somewhat.
The feed schedules by Canna, H&G, Cyco or an cannabis nute producer are usually excessive, sometimes extremely.
I’ve run Canna at. 0.6-0.8 throughout veg and 0.8-1.0 during peak bloom with good results.
That’s around 1ml per litre maximum dose.
I’d suggest watering with just a little runoff with 50% less fertiliser.
Overfed tastes like shit, a plant that is deficient can be fixed and will taste better. Less is more

Ignore those nutrient companies feed charts. Feed them half of what they say to start and go up from there if you need to. And you don't need all this boost and PK stuff either.
