Hi every1 i have 3 Isis and 1 random female plants 1 week into there flowering period all have nice sexy hairs forming but some of the leaves on one plant in particular has turnned a real deep dark unhealthy looking green some leaves tilting down and i belive growth has begun to slow (cant be sure yet) im using Ionics neuts and just started them on bloom, they are in a compost mix (later found it to be too acidic and watered every so often with a hydo lime/water mix through out veg until growth speed increased) i will take pictures an upload as soon as possible, but if anyone can tell me whats going on or have any ideas would be greatly appreciated im in real need of help!!

it looks for sure like an N toxicity. it doesn't look quite bad enough to flush the soil, i'd just stop adding nutrients and water with plain ph balanced tap water till you see some SLIGHT yellowing on the very bottom leaves. if you want to remedy it a little quicker you could flush the soil with 1.5x the volume of the container with plain ph balanced water

ok thanks man, i think ill try switching to plain water first as i dont really have a handy place to flush it out, how long do you think it should take? i mean will this have a major impact on yeild as ill be starving it, or will the fact thats its loaded with gear now mean it will have plenty? and will the fact this happened in the first place hurt the plant much yeild wise?? and should i change my feeding pattern i usually do every second watering an i do just under the stated dose im bit gutted this is happening

Can you give me a link to the nute you are using? I need to see then NPK values. You defenitly have a N toxicity but cutting out all nutes before understanding what you are feeding them is premature. You have some other stuff going on but I need to make sure the N toxicity is not causing it. Thanks

Have to save the plant before you can harvest it.

it's hard to say, cuz it'll all depend on the genetics of the plant and the environment of your room. it could effect the final weight, as an abundance of N will cause more leafy growth, and therefore it could cause less bud growth. this shouldn't be drastic though. the one thing to watch out for is phosphorus deficiency, which will look like yellowing leaves that eventually turn purplish-brown then fall off. once you resume using nutrients i recommend a schedule of feed-feed-water to prevent any nutrient buildups in the future

Ok my thought is you need to continue feeding with the bloom making sure your PH is correct You need to get another nute with higher PK ratios and start feeding that as well as foliar feeding that nute for those levels are too low in just your bloom. The plant will continue to use the N that is in excess and the purple will start to dissipate from the stems as you move forward.

You do have a smoking jacket on don't you? Dude there was no reason to post that crap we are trying to fix the plant not figure out how much wieght the plant will produce. Fucking smart people they get in the way of common sense.
