May I ask what kind of light did you have yours under? Did you grow one or multiple? And how much bud (weight) did you harvest from one plant?
I only have a quiet small 200w Lux grow LED its ok for one plant, not enough for 2. I grew 2 plants the first time. One of my plants sprouted earlier and was much stronger so it grew a lot bigger and cos I didn't have much room in my tent it shaded it the smaller one all the way through flower.
I just added in a few homemade warm white cfl lights to help with the spots that weren't getting much light, made a big difference!
I never actually weighed the bud that I got for some reason, guess I was just too excited to smoke it. If I was to guess I would say4 to 5 ounces but that's a very uneducated guess, not great at judging the weight.
May I ask what you think you did wrong beside over nutes?
PPMs should be high in the flowering stage I believe, if you adding them slowly week from week, but I also believe you should be giving it just ph water every other nute feeding. Again, I'm no expert, just a newbie. Depending on your medium you can check out this site for nute/ppm help.
https://www.------------.com/ppm.
If the link doesn't take you there, I would google "grow weed easy" then once on the site do a search for ppm or nutes or the medium you're growing in for details on both.
How to lower your PPM is probably to flush the plant (basically ph only water). Then making sure the Ph going in and coming out of the plant is within the appropriate levels. I test my PPM after I add my nutes to the water (before watering) and I test the run off water both for PPM and PH. The Ph level lets you know if your plant is even taking in the nutes you're giving it. At least this is my understanding as a newbie, and not an expert. So do your research and let me know what you come up with.
I got my PPM and PH meter after I started seeing problems in my plants flowering stage. At first it looked like nute burn, then tried to remedy that, that didn't help. Then I figured out, it was because I went from growing them in CFLs during veg and some flowering weeks, then removed CFLs and added a 240w LED, and added it a bit too close the plant. That made it even worse. So after talking with the LED company found out, I shouldve introduced the LED in veg stage, not just in the flowering stage, it basically shocked the plant. I also found out from them the light should be higher. So after remedying the light issue, by raising it. It improved a tiny bit. But after more researching more came to realize cal-mag deficiency is an issue in poor soil, like I had, and I had never added it to the plant ever. So I got a PPM & PH meter in the middle of flowering and found out the PH was too high, and the PPM was way too low like 400 give or take a couple of digits. So I suspected cal-mag deficiency and after flushing the plant, making sure the root pH was correct that's when I started slowly adding my Bloom nutes with Cal-mag raising the amount week by week. And the leaves stopped yellowing, just browned a bit. No new leaves came yellow, and the plant has bounced back the best she can considering how many f'ups I did. She's been very forgiving, and I do appreciate that.
I have to say once thing I learned was after reading the sites, I really appeared that I had nute burn, because some leaves were a bit yellowish around the edges not and they were clawing down. But in my gut I just felt that it couldn't be true, cause I was only giving it 1/4tsp of DynoGro Veg nutes per gallon. I believe flushing it actually made the deficiency worse, so I did keep researching the problem to make sure to figure it out. So do your research, take what you read and what people say with a grain of salt, and trust yourself a bit if you're paying attention to her daily and you're tracking what you're giving or doing to her, the info you know is very important. My first grow has very much like a science project, honestly I wasn't expecting to get any bud out of it, I just wanted to learn from any mistakes so when I got my good seeds, wouldn't ruining them too bad, and I would get bud. So even though I will get bud (all be it, small popcorn buds), my new goal for my new grow is to get real size dense buds. Once I nail that, then I will work on quantity. First I want to nail quality.
Lastly check out my journal for the Raspberry Cough in KindSoil. Basically it's a type of soil that you don't have to worry about adding any nutes. The soil at the bottom has everything it requires, when the plants needs something supposedly the roots will reach for the bottom and get what it needs from its soils food source. I hear it's one of the easiest ways to grow. Which is why I'm trying it out. You basically put the KindSoil at the bottom of the pot and CocoLoco mix (or other recommended mediums) on the top and you just water it with 6.5-7 ph water. That's it. I'm doing everything KindSoil's site recommends for that grow. And so far it's a pretty hearty looking plant. So check it out... it might be an idea for the future.[/QUOTE]
