First grow, lookin frostyyyy! Hope I can finish them up without and hiccups. They are due to start Cha-ching next feeding. Any recommendations or advice with that stuff? They all have taken basically full strength Fox farm nutes for the past 4 weeks, along with open sesame and beastie bloomz... noticed some burning on some leaves. Mainly the OG indica strains...

Anywho, how we looking?!?!

My last grow, I used Fox Farm nutes successfully UNTIL I added cha ching. I used it at full strength and it wiped out my Animal Cookies plant. It burned the sugar leaves clear into the buds. Had to chop that plant early to try to salvage what I could. In the same grow, I had Platinum Blue Dream that handled the cha ching like a champ tho.

Start out at a really low dose of Cha Ching to see how the plants do with it.

How far into flowering are you?
When do you expect to harvest?
What are the ingredients and NPK numbers on cha ching?

Man! I never read your original post just complimented the bud.
I hope the Cha Ching works for you if you use it. I would have reservations about using it myself. You have what looks like a nice finishing bud. Your goal in soil is to keep the soil happy. Usually less is more in soil. You add that just because you think it may help or you read that it helped someone else does not mean you should use it in your situation.
@im4satori is awesome with fertilizers. I would be curious if he stops by what he thinks. This guy has a really nice 1st grow going.
 
yeah bgt its because of the high k. I'm sure it yellowed from bottom up an never stopped. I know this cause I have played with it. I would use a pinch if I used it an literally a pinch. its not necessary though.

May I make a recommendation? The plant doesn't need any extra N at this stage, and really only scant amounts of P. The focus in flowering should be the K, that's where your extra weight and resin comes in. If I were you, I'd stick to a high K formula like Bush Doctor sweet and dandy (0-1-3) and finish with that alone. I would say that all the N in the other formulas you've been running is the reason for the burn you've seen. The smaller amount of P aids to boost potassium uptake from the root system (where the magic happens) and will result in heavier, more resinous buds.
 
last 3 weeks they will really pack on girth. Flushing is pretty much a myth bro. You don't need to take my word, but you cant flush a plant man. You ever use any chitosan foliar? Its not a pgr or any of that crap either. But it does add to thc % Very nice work you should be very proud!!!

Flush dude best way to go 1 or 2 week before harvest give u more flavor .
And if u see ur plant get yellow after ching lol bloom boster i presume stop it .
watch out a lot of phosphore make the plant leaf darker and fuck the taste !
Remember me of my first one good luck ur sure have a lot the good gennetic wish u have clone iff ur that lucky lol
 
Sub do some off your own research before you listen to some people. Only reason you should need to flush is if your soil gets to hot. You will hear this and that. You will have to make your own assumptions. phosphorus doesn't make your plant taste like shit either its all a myth bud. There are ways to sweeten and enhance flavor that's true. Most of the people on here whether there well known or not are wrong about a lot of things. But there are a few that really know there shit and you can learn a lot from them. You just have to find the ones to listen too. The other ones are just distractions bud.
 
BTW I use to flush myself till I did some off my research and realized its was a myth. Do yourself a favor read other sites especially garden sites. You will learn a lot from those. This sites great, but theres a lot of bad info
