So I have reached the skill level of an organic grower where I can veg in my mix and plants grow lush and vigorous with no deficiencies, and I have only put the healthiest plants into the bloom room.
But in bloom around day 30, I start getting worried that the buds are not filling out properly.
I can't see any deficiencies, the leaves look perky and are praying, other than a tiny amount of tip burn I don't see any nutrient burn, leaves are on the darker side, but not extremely dark where I would think it is an issue.
My nutrient mix is on the richer side as I only feed water during bloom and want to keep it simple for now. Temps are 77-82 lights on (most of the time just under 80), 60-70 lights off. Brand new 1000W hortilux super eye bulbs
Is it possible that my mix is too rich? Is this common or possible with organics? I thought plants take what they need in organics, and this whole nutrient lockout thing doesn't happen in real soil. I figured I rather have a rich soil, as opposed to seeing a def., on day 30, catching it a week later with a top dress or compost tea, by which time too much stress has occurred and growth is affected. As well compost teas actually caused some problems on the last grow as I think there is already enough in my soil mix.
