Will my ladies be ok?

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the community so bear with me. I have to plants of unknown strain that are in the 3rd week of flower. My schedule for feeding is feed today then for two days nothing then water then two days feed. When I was in veg it was a breeze. Now I'm in flower my tips are curling and slight downward canoeing. I use Foxfarms as scheduled but only at half the dosage as I am not trying to do what I did and burn them. The temps stay between 70 to 80 humidity mid 50's. My question is what should I do at this point my buds I think are looking good and when I turn off the lights they look good. At this point I am confused as how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Why are you only using it at half strength? What's your NPK ratio? Whats your container size and material?

For the Tiger Bloom 2-8-4, Big Bloom 0.01-0.3-0.7, Grow Big 6-6-4. 5 gallon fabric pots and miracle grow soil. The last time I fed them all three according to the schedule. The reason I am feeding at half strength is this is my second grow and the first was a disaster. Big time nute burn, light burn, you name it and they hermied. My thoughts were better to have less than more. Also why would my canopy turn purple? Is it genetics or am I doing something wrong?

Your miracle grow soil has it's own nutrients in it already, I'm sure your aware of this.
It's almost impossible to factor this into your feeding schedule and make a proper feeding chart. You seem to be doing alright at half strength so far, ide cut down on nitrogen for sure though. Next round, get rid of the MG and get a neutral soil mix.

Have you checked the PH of your soil?

As for the purple, that's probably genetics and lower temps during night cycle. People breed purple into everything these days.

I unfortunately don't have a ph meter right now. I am sure that would tell a tale. So am I to just water for a week and feed at 1/4 th strength. Also are they looking good to be at the stage they are in? Thanks

Yeah man they do look alright. Yeild might not be what you were hoping for but they are coming along nicely. Stay at half strength for another 2 weeks then drop to 1/4 for 2 weeks before your final flush. Feed them every 3rd watering.

Anything better than my first grow lol. Thanks for the advice.

No problem man! Good luck with everything.

Thanks I will need it

You can get the fish tank ph strips and they work just fine.

Thanks Raratt. I will definitely be looking into it.
