Ok, please remind me, do you measure the PH of the water and fertilizers before feeding?
You are giving her food, so this sounds like a lock out issue due to wrong PH.
@Emilya, correct me if I am wrong.

I am setting the pH at 6.3

If it is a lock out issue. How should I deal with with it

Since Emilya has guided you with the foliar spraying, and I have never done any I feel she knows more about the whole grow than I do.
She has a plan and guides you with nutrients.
Maybe what you are seeing is a problem, but taken all under consideration, it could be normal.
How does the plant look today?

I was just about to respond, but AB took the words out of my mouth.

She's been making thc as I can see resin but the buds aren't growing big as there's no or extremely slow growth. The little leaves she's growing thc on have started drying too. May be it happens this slow and I am expecting an explosive growth.

 

[AngryBird]

I suggest you follow her lead until end.

Yes, absolutely. I trust her words and instructions. And you too mam have led and helped me a lot in this grow.

Hi @subliminal !

I am blushing a bit here, but let me say this. The plant's goal in life is to develop those buds. Leaves are inconsequential, the buds (or the seeds to propagate the species) are the prime directive. To this end, despite all the problems, those buds are growing. Every resource those plants have are being put into this project. They do grow slowly but they are growing and they are flowering as noted by all the beautiful pistils. This won't be the best grow you have or will ever do, but you are going to get through this with some great bud. There are so many disaster situations that could have happened already as a result of all the early problems, but you have gotten through it... its not pretty, but sometimes that happens. Next time is going to be so much better!

I have seen good times, bad times, troubled times and many other shades with this little girl "Bliss". Against all the odds, she fought like a champion and today she is fulfilling the purpose of her life, making beautiful little buds! I am really very proud of her and she'll always be remembered as my best best grow ever!

Hi @Emilya @AngryBird ! I have a thought and want to take your opinion on the same. The lower branches of the plant have stopped growing completely and are not flowering, so I am thinking of chopping these branches down so that the buds are using all the available nutrients in the soil. I am not sure if it will stunt or stress the plant in any manner, let me know.

Also can these be used to clone? They look terrible and yellow, but still alive.

These lower shoots are exactly the ones that you want to take for clones... the lower nodes just seem to develop roots easier than the top growth does.

Can these be cloned now? As the plant is in flowering stage at the moment, what should be my strategy to successfully clone these shoots? I was looking for an article on cloning on your page but you haven't covered this topic yet, if you did I will appreciate the link. Thanks

 

[Emilya Green]

Yes, you can still take clones during flower although it is recommended to do all of this before flower so as not to stress the plants. The clone will revert back to veg after being removed from 12/12 light and then will start to develop roots. Taking the clone this late will result in about 3 extra days in the cloning chamber as it converts the process over, but it will happen.

Go for it!

Wow! Thanks for the good news as I have lost my other two seeds to my house maid as she didn't understand why we were keeping two seeds between wet tissues. How can I start the cloning process? Anything special I should keep in my mind before starting this chapter. I will be growing it in 90% coco

Yes I am totally game for this. Can you please some information on how to clone? And what all things/equipments/nutrition I would require for this project.
