White Widow @ week 4 flowering

just finished week 4 of flowering

lady is a 3 month old white widow in 3 gal bucket, using foxfarm soil + nutes, and a 400w hps. i did some mild LST early on, so there are 3-4 big colas developing, plus lots of popcorn bud at the bottom (leave it or cut them off?)

i give 2 tsp of TigerBloom, 1 tablespoon of BigBloom per gallon. last feed i gave 2 tablespoons of BB instead of 1 by mistake. wondering if this is going to cause nute burn or if its ok. i also give 1 tablespoon of unsulfuered molasses every feed to fatten up the buds

please give any advice/suggestions/observations. i've circled some areas i'm worried about like red stems or yellow curled up fan leaves (nute burn or is this normal?)

also, how high off the top should my cooltube be? temperature stays in the low 80s (using passive air intake + small oscillating fan)

yay another WW grower :) im currently into 5th week with mine and i got yellowing more around the bottom which i hear is fairly normal at this stage but around the top, hmm, i would guess at nute burn or heat stress, although ur new growth remains green? points to nutes then, tablespoons are pretty big lol hmmm 1 tablespoon =14mls crikey thats alot i would say its that i only give mine 4 mls bloom, 1-2 mls grow and 3 mls molasses ( using a syringe to be precise) with alga-mic if they looking a bit sad lol :)

feel free to look up my jornal for comparrison>>> always good to see a fellow grower in the same shoes :)

and with reference to light from plants i hear if u can comfortably withstand ur hand at the distance of ur plants for more than 30 seconds then ur plants are at a good distance , but i havent got a cool tube so i guess it depends :)

ok, i think my cooltube was too far away. i moved it closer, now its about 3-4 inches from the top. i'll see how the plant responds.

i noticed your Widows look a lot darker green than mine. wondering if this is just a strain difference since yours look more sativa-dominant while mine is more indica. i think i may have a N deficiency but i'm not going to add any N during the flowering process until i get more feedback from growers.

ahh thats where we differ, my feeding schedule tells me to carry on with low dose bio grow ( containing nitrogen) throughout my grow helps stop the nitrogen defficiency a little :D and are you really feeding tablespoons? my seeds are from nirvana :)
