Nutrients Day 15 flower biotab advice needed

[darknight_420]

Hi all especially @Bob's Auto's

It's been a while since I've needed advice as things were going great with my clone.

Shes been exploding in growth since Febuary and she is in a big 20L pot.

I initially put 3 biotabs and silicium flash and have been keeping her happy with a mix of water only some days and a boost of orgatrex and constant with bactrex.

Things started fading early July so I put another 2 biotab in and she's been good however since moving to flower she's taking all her nitrogen and things fading again

I've given another 1 biotab ½ x2 and also 10ml orgatrex and then realised I have the pk5-8 so gave her 3ml yesterday as 1st feed.

I'm not sure if my leaves are showing signs of poor phrosporus which I think is needed for flowering so I'm wondering should I just get straight on compost tea?

If I brew it today it'll be day 17 she gets fed. Just now sure what's best and don't want things going wrong especially as ive came thus far with an amazing plant

Advixe appreciated

What is the pH of your soil?
And maybe more important...isn't the soil to wet? Because after flowering has commenced and vegetative growth subsides, water uptake slows down remarkebly. If you keep watering as before, you are keeping the soil to wet. At least that's my experience...

Thanks @Bob's Auto's

I've no idea what the soil PH is, it's not something I have ever checked before.

The soil is wet as ive been feeding as usual I'm unable to lift the pot as ive anchored all branches to a rack ive got the pot sat on but she is very wet. .

I'll stop feeding for a few days and ppt the heat mat on to help dry her up a bit and see how things go

Yup, that's what I would do.
Keep checking the soil with your finger. As long as the tip of your index finger feels cold, there's enough water in the soil. If it takes longer then two days to get to a dry finger. You've been overwatering the plant and the pH is probably out of whack.
So, only after the soil is dry you might try the following...

• Mix 1 teaspoon Bactrex and 1 teaspoon of Mycotrex to 1L of water and divide that over the four pots (it's four pots right?). Pour the mixture slowly and give the soil the time to take it up before you go at it again. Best to divide the 1L mixture into four cups or something as the products tend to settle to the bottom. Next day, do the index finger test again. Dry = 1L divided over the plants, Wet = Do nothing.

Thanks @Bob's Auto's it's only the 1 pot I have She's in a 20L and a big lady.

My others are only 2wk old autos and coming along great.

hi @Antonio_DutchPassion this was the start of things, I'm beginning to think your right with the K deficiency especially looking at earlier leaves.
