Hey @E0325 hope you are well my friend.Hey everyone I’m in the 6th week of flower and I’m seeing brunt tips and spots
The only change I have made is I added some organic gem liquid fish 2.9-3.5- 0.3 plant food
Any help would be appreciated
I apologize I can't remember, what are you growing in?
What else are you feeding and when?
She is starving instead of swelling.
Stay safe

Good morning @e03She isn't uptaking enough food/nutrients from the soil.
Your craft blend in your did you let it sit and cook for 3 months prior to planting.
They may not be available to the plant yet.
I recommend you get some nutrients asap and feed her Pronto.
@GeoFlora Nutrients would be perfect.
What nutrients do you have available where you are?
Stay safe

A 20 gallon pot of BAS 3.0 with a top dress at beginning of flower should pretty much last from seed to harvest depending on how long you veg and how large the plant gets.
Sometimes you can push the plant beyond what plant available nutrients can feed.
Maybe a bit too much light.
If you're pushing more than 900 PPFD then sometimes the soil can't keep up unless its totally dialed in and that will show as a nutrient deficiency.
You have red stems, pale leaves, brown spots which could be phosphorus not available.
Did you use any Biophos at start of flower 6 weeks ago?
Biophos will add microbes that mobilize phosphorus.
Add the Bio-Catalyst Elixir to speed it up.
Also are you keeping the soil moist, as in watered everyday?
Whats the temp of the water?
I get my water from an outside hose with a large filter attached, this time of year the temp is like 45⁰
So I take half the water and heat on stove to 88⁰ this brings the temp to 70⁰ for the overall bucket.
Then I take the 70⁰ water and super oxygenate it so there's plenty of dissolved oxygen in the water.
This keeps the microbe herd happy and functioning properly.
Also if you have the humidity too dry before flowering starts that can cause the plant to uptake more available nutrients than the microbes can supply
They don't like dry soil, or cold especially if your soil is below 60⁰
At 6 weeks I would think the buds would be a bit further along with red hairs and fattening unless you're growing a sativa.

Thanks for the help guys
I have been looking into both the Geo Floria and mega crop.
I didn’t use the biophos, I only the root wise and the bio catalyst.
I don’t water everyday, normally I let it somewhat dry but she has never dropped. I normally water 1 gallon every 2nd day.
Water temp is something I never thought about, my water is coming form the wash tub in the basement and it is cold. I’m definitely going to warm it up.
In panic move last night I added another layer of top dressing, just in case I went to light the first time. I checked the light with my par meter and at the highest tops I’m a bit over 1000 every where else is between 600 at the lowest points and in the middle it’s between 800 and 900.
According to 420 website my plant is
If I’m looking at a phosphate deficit, is there a product you recommend?
I live in Michigan and there are plenty of hydro stores around.

I have a cooler in my grow room that I have water in several different size bottles. I fill them and let them sit at least a day so they warm and vent off chlorine. Only use faucet city water immediately when I need to fill the wash pan with round humidifier filter to humidify the tent.

I just hit the 9 week mark since I flipped to flower. I started adding Mega Crop around the beginning of February, so far I’m seeing color return to my leaves and some bud development. I’m not sure what the effects of letting her go hungry are but I’m just going to ride it out and see what happens
Hey @E0325 Hope you are well my friend.I just hit the 9 week mark since I flipped to flower.

I’m not sure what the effects of letting her go hungry are but I’m just going to ride it out and see what happens
Why would you let her go hungry at her most important time?

I don’t know, 1st time grower. I watched a bunch of YouTube series about growing in living organic soil. I thought based on the Soil I bought, cover crop, and top dressings it would have enough nutrients to power through.
I know better for the next grow
Thanks for the help Bill

I apologize my friend.
I didn't realize it was Los.They do look hungry though.
Your call.
A little boost wouldn't hurt.
Do you have any tea's?
Stay safe

@E0325 she looks like she is building good now I agree let her go and see what happens.

She is an absolute beast.Excellent work @E0325
Another month will be a tough wait at this point, but going to be well worth it.
