Hello,
For years I used the ebb n gro pots system with sure to grow inserts. These held tons of water and by flowering i would water just once a day possibly once every other day using advanced nutrients and had good results.
So naturally the sure to grow people disappear and suddenly I'm forced to switch mediums and started using hydrocorn rocks...totally different of course watering every 3 1/2 hours or so no clue what I'm doing really. Anyway they take off a bit slow in veg then do well. I start flowering, plants get huge and start developing the buds. But now I'm in week 6 and the buds dont seem to be growing. The plants are green and very healthy looking top to bottom...only very tips of fan leaves burned a little at the top part of the plants.
My concern is I'm underfeeding. I'm around 750 ppm, which looking at what some here use for there plants seems low. The strain is K2, and with the inserts I would run it 580-650 ppms during grow so it seemed to be a light eater (of course the inserts were like soaked sponges so hard to compare with the rocks). Currently as it waters the ppms slowly go up, which means to me they are being fed enough, maybe just a lil too much....so I'm afraid to raise the ppms.
Anyway just looking for advice. Is it possible I may need to add another week? Raise ppms? Should I just leave it alone? Any help would be appreciated I'd really hate to have these finish poorly.
Thanks
