Yeah, it’s not nitrogen imo. It’s not looking for it at this point of flowering. Just, smaller amounts. I always got in trouble giving too much at flower. Green leafy buds are no fun.
I have one now doing the same sort of thing as yours but the sun has gone ballistic again and that might have something to do with it.
Just walk through the garden and let them all know who is boss! I still have trouble diagnosing plant issues. I’ve been lucky mostly so far. Good luck with your girls. Remember, they’re all bigger than you now. Don’t piss any of them off! I think you’re doing a killer job. Doing lots of different strains at on time can throw curve balls. I do the same thing. Lots of variety.

You just reminded me that I have an extra refractometer in my aquarium stuff, but it is the same kind used to measure brix in plants. It would be my pleasure to make it a gift to you. I think that you would get some use out of it and I do have at least one or two others. You might be able to let us know if you notice correlation between brix and flavor or other factors.

Really? That’s so cool of you! Would be interesting to see. You would have to tell me how to use it though

What has to be figured out is how best to get a little juice out of the plant for the refractometer. You need about 3-4 drops to check the level. PM me your address of course and I will do some reading about it. Maybe there’s someone who already has experience with it here?
Also, there is another refractometer so If there is someone else here who would like to borrow the other one just let me know. I can probably get a discount for anyone who might want to purchase one. I’m cool with the other just being shared among Overgrow homies with a proper trust level.

Mighty nice if ya bro! I always wanted one probably will buy Ine eventfully As far as sampling leaves 3-4 rolled up into a ball and squeeze y with a pair of pliers right into the glass slide … it’s important to take around the sane time I’d say so one can gauge the numbers more accurately

The world of brewing is where I know ° Brix from.

Totally off topic, but they really need to stop allowing fentanyl by prescription. Should only be allowed by hospitals to administer and def patient monitored. It’s quite disgusting that this is available to the public.

Well ya that and ketamine ! You hear of the recent death of Elijah McLain? Who got injected with ketamine in a 130 kid who died for it given by police officers ? He got like triple dosed per Body weight that’s stuff is as dangerous if not more than fentanyl I thought one had to be a registered doctor to admin!

Spent 20 mins trying to water. Ended up throwing in the towel at 15 mosquito bites. Ouch! Itch Itch! Scratch Scratch! I get that skeeter syndrome too where they get huge. I’ll go back at it tmw when I’m covered in Deet. This humidity has made it a mosquito cesspool. Took a zrtec as that’s all I have. They aren’t exactly fast acting either. Dying over here! Itch Itch

No Meesh. It’s not N. I got 3 outdoor plants. Supposedly organic and there leaves are yellowing already. Thought it was a nute deficiency but it wasnt. It was a zink, potassium, cal, mag, manganese, iron, deficiency. I fermented a bunch of black beans and gathered plant hormones.let them rot together and it works great. Let’s see your buds on your plants

Bruce. Look at that fade. The micronute foliar probably fixed it.
Not in a pot, but a gdp bud shot. A few months to go.

At this time of year @Meesh. I would just let things go. I would give them NPK supplements only if u r plants are yellowing and budding. That’s why I asked u for a bud pic
