Hello Everyone. I've never posted on this forum before, but have on another. There are some on here that will vouch I am a grower, as I talk with them on another forum. I'm a little over 2 weeks into flowering, I'm using a hydropic bubbler for my plants. I was growing White Widow and Ice, but all 3 of my WW decided to go male and hermie on me. So now I'm left with my 3 Ice plants, all of which are females. My question is, I'm going to be flushing my tub in a week and adding new nutrients, what is a good nutrient to use during flowering, what do I need to look for? The one I used for veg. is called FloraMagic 10-8-18. I have tons of bud sites but very few buds beginning to grow. Is there anything I can use that will help my buds grow nice and big?? Here are a few pics of my plants from a couple days ago. You'll see the lower leaves on the tallest plant seem burnt... had a nutrient problem... I gave em too much. Any help will be appreciated!

Are you looking to go organic? If so I have seen people have great results with pure blend pro, simple organic one-part. I would use a bloom booster with it. I currently use flora-nova bloom which works well, I still use additives for bloom but not as much because it's real strong and has some of the common additives in it.
I'm going to try some advanced brand bloom additives here soon. I'll let you know how they work for me.
good rule of thumb i find is to use a NPK ratio of 321 for veg and 123 for bloom or there abouts.....
i use foxfarms myself.... another 1 part veg or bloom fert and works great
tried there new beastie bloomz this last time around and was real happy with the results....mighty powerfull stuff it is 0-50-30 :eek:
if ya want 100% organic with fox farms just pick and choice there products wisely ;) 99.8% works for me tho
get'n ready to fire up my bubbler as well here :D
grow on
oh ya about the burn, didnt really see it myself, but looked like maybe just a bit of normal yellow'n in the bottom couple of leaves and a few claw'd tips...maybe just back off the ppm's a bit

forgot to put this in your grow but ice is easly stressed so be careful or she will go hermy on you as well.
fox fams is a good product all but 4 of there nutes are organic the 4 that are not organic are the newest ones

If you are not worried about organics, Dr Hornby Big Bud from advanced nutes helps out filling out the buds.
Using Overdrive from advanced in last couple weeks of flower, is like Ben johnson on steroids.
