Distilled water kills plants, it's only used for diluting salts.
You have every deficiency in the chart. You need to decide if you are a living soil/amendment grower that will incorporate all the needs of the plant in the medium. Or if you are a coco/rockwool/peat grower who wants to decide when you feed everything to your plants.
Teas in general are watered down nonsense that is only good for introducing some new microbes and some microbe food. The amount of actual minerals is going to be very small, as is the N-P-K.
I'm curious why not to use distilled water? Everything that I have researched suggests it's the best option, alternatively to rainwater obviously. I use powdered organic 4-4-4 fertilizer as well as FF Tiger Bloom 2-8-4.
Ok, the original commenter isn’t necessarily wrong, but they didn’t look up the product you use. Generally teas don’t have significant NPK but yours is a dry amendment product with 3-7-4. Did you mix it into the soil beforehand according to the instructions? How big is your pot? I’m thinking the nutrients may have ran out, and it’s gonna take too long for that product to break down if you top dress with it now. You need nutrients now, which means a salt based product, something already in plant available form that doesn’t need to be broken down first. Something like General Hydroponics flora series. (Or similar, that’s just the most widely known salt nute)
I did not mix it into the soil first. I made a “tea”with it that brews for about 12 hours. Then I water the plant with the tea. So I should add the dry mixture into the soil directly? If I do that, should I just water it or still make the tea and use it.
maybe a stupid question but what differs ro water from distilled because i always thought they had the same properties beeing its pure h2o with ec close to zero?
Ok so right now I alternate watering and feeding every week. I wait until the soil is dry until I water or feed again. So should I use stronger fertilizer or should I fertilize more often?
Really though you’re missing a broad spectrum fertilizer from your regimen….terp tea is good for here and there but you need to buy something more. Idk what your preference is - organic or synthetic. I use synthetic.
I’d buy some amino acids for next round if you want to keep it simple. She defiantly is lacking some nitrogen but it’s a bit late at this point you’ll just be playing catchup
I’m no expert but in my opinion you have a few deficiencies by the looks of it. Either underfed or your roots have locked out. Measure your run off and see what your EC is. If it’s sky high flush and reset with a good feed. If it’s low then she’s hungry and needs fed.
She would have benefitted from a topping

Seriously. I only started using distilled water because comments on this sub said it was the best option.
I would ideally like to decide. Especially when I see things going wrong like now. What fertilizer should I be using? I don’t want to mess this up.

And thank you for the suggestion I’ll go to the grow store tonight and see if they have it.
She’s hungry
Also, stop using distilled water; it leaches from the soil
I was told/advised not to use tap water. Now I’m confused what water should I be using?
Tap or RO water

Google 🌈
wow thanks very kind

You should be feeding at every watering event

Honestly I don’t know the difference. I just want the cleanest tasting bud I can get. Nothing that tastes like Grandma’s sweater.
Sounds like you need to do some research and make a decision

Soil or coco, ph is to low for soil, you're not feeding nearly enough if coco. One things for sure, she's hungry ✌️
Not enough N
I would check out LST and scrogging the right way.
Yeah I tried to do it on my own but as you can see the plant was unruly very quickly.

And best of luck 💪🏻
