Nutrient lockout?

[ChuckleBrother]

My plants are 59 days into flower and have hardly budded at all, if it's nutrient lockout would flushing them at this stage be any help? I gave them pk9/18 way too early I think, so that possibly could be the cause. I'm in autopots so flushing is tricky. They should be much bigger than this at this stage surely.
Problem: slow bud growth

Medium/grow method: soil

Feed: and supplements used: shogun nutrients, bloom, sumo boost, PK 9/18, advanced nutrients rhino skin

water source: tap

Strain/age: watermelon zkittles day 59

light used: phlizon FD450 led

Climate: day 25c night 17c

What are you using for media? If using soil I would not recommend flushing if your using coco you can do a flush to hopefully correct the issue cause it could be a salt build up from bottom feeding

Bottom feeding is tricky me thinks, better for the excess salts to get removed by doing a top feed with 10~20% runoff each time, messes up pH too in some cases by bottom feeding

Yeah I'm using soil, I've done a few photo grows and not had a prob like this before grown exactly the same way, I only switched to autos as the photos were taking too long.... So don't flush in soil yeah, does that mean my crops a gonner?

Yeah I would NOT flush using soil everything I've been taught it can cause more problems then good and there's not enough time left in the grow to get it back right. I would just give plain water for while and see if she improves.

does that mean my crops a gonner?

absolutely NOT I've had much worse looking plants make it to harvest with decent bud.

I honestly don't think they look that bad

It will also help to fill this out with the most info that you can and maybe someone else will have a better or different opinion. I am by no means a expert

They're supposed to finish in 10 weeks they're less than 2 away..... I've emptied the rez and given them just bloom at 1.2 EC gonna scrap the PK as that's the only thing I haven't used before and I think it's doing them in.

I take those estimates with a grain a salt and a 10 week strain is a fast one plus there's lots of variable that can speed up or slow them down. I don't feed my plants any more then 1.4 ec in coco DTW and even there I can get some tip burn depending on the strain
