day 25 flower what everyone think am i doing ok

[giz2k14]

It seems a lot if people grow different ways and have different opinions best thing I can do is take advice given and not take it as a golden rule as everyone's answers are different sure I will make mistakes along the way everyone starts from somewhere and only learning from mistakes made am I really going to improve over time its only my second grow so there's still a long way to go haha

Man, i was liking your posts, then you went and posted this.

I've kept stuff green until harvest, and I preffer to let the plant run it's natural course and yellow up. I liked your comment because I respect other people's growing styles and experiences. I also pluck a TON of leaves and lollipop branches, but I just pulled well over a pound with a 600w so I'm doing something right. Plants yellow, purple, orange, etc. naturally in the fall outdoors, fighting this by pumping nutrients into the plant to keep it green doesn't really have any impact on the final outcome, so I save a little $ on nutes. I've tried both ways, and in my experience letting the plant do it's thing naturally produces a better, stinkier, tastier product. Obviously your experiences have been different.

Your plants look good, um... tell me that the axe spray is for reference use only .. that stuff stinks. j/k No big deal on the little bit of yellow, feed them a bit but they will go yellow when ripening and flushing fan leaves are disposable.

I see there is is a bit of debate on flower start time, I like to start after a 72HR blackout or the 12/12 flip. If you reference a feed guide like Heavy 16, or General Hydroponics the Flowering cycle starts on the first day of 12/12. So for me its more of a reference point for feeding when to add boosters or hardeners or ripening agents, Now I've delayed flowering a bit with some training and defolation but the start point is still the same..

Now the only thing not set in stone is when it ripens. I"ve had to adjust the feed schedule match some of the longer sativa hybrids.

Yeah its just for show in size comparison and thanks for your info mate

Many people make the mistake of totally cutting off the N when they switch to flower, which is a mistake. Even flowering plants need a little N.

A wise old man once told me son u cannot buy experience how right he was.

Will one or two higher doses be any good this far in flowering just to get a little bit more darker green in the leaves

I use veg nutes start to finish, Bloom nutes only cause problems

So you don't use bloom nutrients at all how are your results with that ?

 

[Greenhouse;save]

Why count days of flowering? No matter how many days the breeder says a plant will be in flower, a plant is FINSHED when a plant is FINISHED. Not one day less, not one week more, not 2 weeks less. It's done when it's done. Period.

I agree its done when its done..but when you have a feeding shedule made out for your plants you want to be on the ball with the amount of days or weeks it takes to finish so you.l be on the ball with the feeding aswell ..just my thought...

Nope just water this is exactly what happend I give her her normal feed but added a little more grow just to give a little nitrogen then my son decided to put another 4 liters of water in so I just have her a flush then I didn't give the full amount of water to completely clean the soil I have 30 liters and the water coming out of bottom was still pale yellow
