Here's what I'm looking at. These nutrients aren't made for auto's. As I'm doing my leaf strip on my sweet nurse, I'm noticing how dark the leaves are. I through that my BlackBerry was just sensitive to the nukes but seeing how dark these are, this isn't for autos. View attachment 1164493View attachment 1164494
The feeding schedule needs to be fixed for autos. I'm seeing a lot of nitrogen in it and if I keep going with how to feed, I'm think I might hurt my plants.

I flushed this one this morning and change the feed to GH. I'll keep the sweet nurse on the PB.

Sorry it took a while to get back to you, I haven’t been on here for a few days. The blackberry does seem to have something going on with those top leaves in the pic, I don’t think it’s excess N though because the lower leaves aren’t showing the signs. There was another test grower here that accidentally added 4x the nutrient thinking the chart was for mL/L instead of mL/gal, their solo cup plant definitely looked dark green but seemed to handle it ok and wasn’t permanently damaged. I lost track of the post but I think it might have been @Dichoti.

I'm the guilty one. The girls seem to be doing fine- all things considered. Yeah, they are stunted height wise but bud wise they are putting on weight. Should be able to get more pics tomorrow. This one is from a week ago. The solo cup and Folgers cup are Prescription Blend. All you can see of the one in 2 gallon pot partial leaf in foreground which will prolly end up with a Bud can size cola

Nope. Wasn’t me.

:smoking: chugging along nicely Al!
Keep in mind mate, that different strains will have different demands, tolerances, quirks etc.,... Don't change nutes, stay on the PB and make adjustments; maybe dial the B down, up the A to lower N and keep plenty of PK around...
Bowing like that isn't always N tox', but I think I see some mild hooking on tips lower down(?) which indicates this girl is a bit bitchy about N, not unusual really,... I'm not 100% on this, and I see the PB rep's point here,.. Again, it may be coming down to individual plant/strain tolerances and such... Guys when it comes to uptake, storage, use/demands, it can make for a much more complicated analysis of cause and effect here, most of which will forever remain a mystery short of lab testing tissue samples!
@Proph -- N-tox' usually doesn't show the tip yellowing/burn by itself so far as I've seen, but it can be a co-symptom when overall nute burn is happening.... I have never had a solid read on what all causes that exact type of leaf bowing, more than one thing causes it for sure though,....

Well, I did water her with the same mix as sweet nurse but the clawing is all the way down the plant.

I really dont want to make 2 mixes either. I'm at week 3 of flower on the chart. Should I cut core a & b down to 5-6 MLS instead of 10?

 

[Waira]

..let's see what our mate PB says,... My suggestion was to lower the part B and raise part A, keep everything else the same...
Never mind the chart Al, it's a guideline at best for auto's,.... always go with where the plant is at stage-wise.... this is a critical stage of blooming now, PK is really ramping up as bud setting progresses and she should be running the full-on bloom regime to accommodate that. Raising the A and lowering B will reduce the N input, and keep P-K a bit richer...keep all the rest the same to maintain complete balance of all the other nutrients and supp's -
Now that I think about it, I recall some of these full purple auto strains having pheno's that are touchy with nutes.... So that could be in play here too!

Week 3 of flower

So I took the advice of @Waira and reduce the core b and kept the rest as the same. So the new feeding is as followed:

Water source is distilled water

Bio-Si 5 ml
Core A 10 ml
Core B 4.5 ml
Big Data 5 ml
Kelp-ful 5 ml
Precursor 5 ml

Water ppms before nutes

@Bigg Al Reducing Core B like you did here will let you test if the plant did have to much N. Since Core B is also your main source for Calcium just keep an eye on it for deficiency. You might find that you need a little more then 5mL/gal if it shows a calcium issue but it can be dialed in.

Since your in RO water and used less Core B I’m not surprised that you had to make a bigger pH adjustment with this mix.
