I agree with all banging flowers buddy, and I didn't know about RO buddy

Flowers are smashing and health too

Just up the base fert ec to around 1.6ec for 4 to 5 weeks when you flip before dropping it back to 1.2 A&B fert ec . That should sort all that pale looking bollox out and prevent it ever happening, its not a case of adding some of this and some that and more a case of simply upping your A&B base ferts .

Tbh they don`t look too bad so don`t sweat it too much.

That makes sense mate as they have mostly been on less than 1.0ec since week 3 of flip. I will adjust them up to 1.2 ec for a bit

Looking great dude. One of mine has no smell. I thought it was me but after you saying that I guess I was right.

I take it back, the back one fecking stinks of Lime/Lemon when you touch it. A real nice strong smell of Kitchen/Bathroom cleaner ;o)

Have you changed what you did in the first grow i helped you out with @Minty ? Why i ask i dont seem to remember underfeeding woes and ways. I think i saw you mention your using RO water in this grow but i just seem to remembner you were just using plain old tap water after we had a chat in the grow i helped out with (maybe its someone tbh im not totally sure ) But yes what and why have you changed anything if you have when that grow was rocking it up ? Get it sorted and maybe just copy that grow for feeds how much is what i say mukka, its all their in black n white. For some reason i have an inkling your not doing same when you proper smashed it (i might be wrong though lol) but as to why your not doing same if that`s the case, well im lost for words .

Not on purpose mate, but I have clearly read my notes wrong as your previous advise (which I wrote down) was to run them at 1.4EC for four weeks @ flower but in reality I kinda had them on 1.4 for 2 weeks then lowered down to 1.0 (no idea why to be honest but the data shows that I did):-

I have always used RO water mate, considering changing that in the near future ;o)

Cool then iff thats all you`ve done differently, you prolly know why they`re or one is looking hungry for just base ferts and nothing else like that calcium mumbo jumbo.

About changing water to using water straight outa tap, well my thoughts are you know whats been done differently and it prolly wont happen again now you know that and if using RO water int a problem and its just as easy using it then i`d maybe go with that. Why i here you ask ? nah but the higher ec mucky tap water can also be testing from what ive seen, its your shout int it mate.

I`m more than willing to help out with most things growing in hydro or coco using mineral/synthetic/chemical base ferts. Organic growing im not too clue`d up mukka.

Well I didn't until you pointed it out a few posts back mate, but it all makes total sense now. Love you ;o)

RO water is nice and simple mate as you start with a really low EC so know exactly what is being added. My reason for considering moving away is mainly because it wastes so much water and I am on a water meter and have noticed the 'waste'.

I know mate and as always it is much appreciated. Asking for mentoring again was by no means a dig at your skills mate. I asked @Bulls because he was offering and I would like to leach from at many people's experiences as possible. Reading the plant is what I really struggle with and guess that only comes with experience so until I get to that I like to have some backup. I have always wondered how people know a plant is locked out? But I guess it's because it's not growing as it should be and it's that 'as it should' that comes with the experience I don't yet have.

Well it give it a whirl then see how it goes, obviously you`ll be feeding a much higher overall EC.

I didnt think that, it was more me wondering whats gone wrong when its all their in black n white. Anyhow lets see how you go now hey....

I have always wondered how people know a plant is locked out?

Never had lockout its usually just underferting to me. But ill say lockout of somesort if im lost and stuicvk for knowuimng whats wrong.

I think theirs 2 types of lockout one caused by ph being out hence called>> PH lockout

Other caused by overloading and saturating medium with ferts hence its known as >> nutrient lockout. You could put term lockout to almost anything though imo mate. I mean overferting burning your plants is actually a form of nutrient lockout cus you`ve saturated medium with ferts plant don`t know which way to turn and so it may be taking in way too much N causing plant to burn and all rest of ferts are locked out.

Well i think so anyhow.
