like the tittle says, first time organics grow.
plants are in 5g grow bags-medium is roots organic mixed with coco and chunky perlite-dolomite lime 3/4 cup per CF-glacial rock dust same as lime-1/2 cup of both alfalfa and kelp meal per cf-1 cup of ewc per cf, also added about an inch of ewc on the top soil.
water comes out the tap at 6.7 and room temps vary from 80 to 85 ive grown in hotter conditions so i know is not that i have plenty of outside air coming in.
anyways my plants showed some sulfer defs so i watered with epsom and its help a little but 5/6 plants are 2 weeks into flower and have streched significantly but the bud sites havent shown any growth in the last 10 days. i topped to 4 main colas but there is almost no side branching at all.
what can i do? should i use my bottle nutes to save this grow? or should i just keep watering with molasses and allow the micros to do their thing? its a 9-10 week strain GG#4xBluefire also running 2 tangies that have the same issue.

Got any pics?

Curious if you have experience with those strains and if they are exhibiting differently this time?

Is the plant generally healthy looking; good color, plenty of spring in the stems?

If so I would be patient. Plants can go a little quiet at the start of flowering but will take off once they reorganize for new phase.

Personally I would Not switch to chems. Just let the critters do their thing. Keep it simple and no additives unless there are clear symptoms of deficiency.

yeah i want to be patient but its flowering already if i could pause it i wouldnt be worried. i know its not the genetics.
pale green growth wich i think is S deff, and visible Mg deff.
what bothers me the most is that they are all throwing pistils like crazy but the only thing growing are the main stems not the bud shoots.
i can always try organics again but dont want to end up with shitty yields if i can help it
