I would not flip. You’ve got some issues you need to sort out before you attempt flowing.

I’m still fairly novice, but what I see is a plant that’s getting too much water and not enough nutrients. I’d like to call in someone more knowledgeable than I. Let’s see what @Emilya has to say.

 

[Emilya Green]

Hi everyone... I would not flip yet, unless you just want to be done with it and are going to be satisfied with just a few grams of pot. They say that once you reach this point, every extra week you spend in veg doubles your eventual yield. I would wait and see if you can end up with an ounce or two for all your work.
Secondly, I would never flip while still trying to resolve a problem. If you have a small problem in veg it is going to turn into a huge problem by the middle of bloom and maybe one you will not be able to resolve. Don't waste your time... get things going smoothly now and then take that into flower. This is not a race.

No...start over, get new soil, transplant, add only water twice for a week, see what happens..

 

[dynamohum]

Being a newbie here I think you should use some new soil in a bit bigger pot.

 

[ChefDGreen]

My suggestion to you would be let her dry all the way out until the pot is very light and she looks almost wilted. Then feed light nutrients of whatever you’re using around the edges until you see some good run off, but do it patiently. Water a little in the center, then let her be and see how long it takes her to dry out again.

Would I be wrong thinking maybe some cali-mag or weak solution of Tiger bloom?

why would one use a bloom nutrient during late veg?? The main problem here is that the roots got in trouble due to watering too often. All the other problems should resolve once the roots get strong again and can uptake the nutrients already being given.

 

[ChefDGreen]

You said your temps were 28-34, that’s good for veg and the warmth should help her dry out quicker. If you can, add some air movement. Cannabis plants love windy environments.. it helps them to absorb their soil moisture faster

I have done all these things before. I just finished flushing one because of too many nutes. How do you finish your plants

 

[ChefDGreen]

Well I make sure my plants look happy and healthy before I send my plants into flower. I typically ramp my nutes up leading up to and during the stretch. Last week of stretch I start phasing in my flower nutes. I keep everything feeding strong until the end. I also do a week 6 flush, but I still go on feeding afterwards.

Dynamo, that answer would take a book.... but instead let me invite you to my Berry D'licious grow that is just now wrapping up and there you can ask all the questions you want. In my thread you can see the 100's of things I do to finish my plants, and that way we don't have to take over someone else's thread re explaining all of this.

Is it ok if there is no fan? I got no space for it. Are these temps ok in flower?

 

[Emilya Green]

A fan is pretty necessary... these plants throw off a lot of water and if you dont have a way to get it all evaporated you run a huge risk of mold and mildew in the grow area.

What do you mean when you say throw off a lot of water?

 

[Soildawg]

The water em is talking about comes from the leaves, think about it like the plant eating via drinking water with supplements and sweating out the water is doesn’t use
