HELP AMBER TRICHOMES 37 DAYS IN first grow

[RedWhiteBlueGreen]

what I'm using for nutes is sensi bud coco part And B, photosynthesis plus, and yield plus ( both foliar once every 3 days quickly dried with fan after)

Ohhhhh and way, way, way, way, way more importantly,........ I just re-read you foliar feeding which deffo do NOT be spraying buds 4 weeks into flower!! (Apologies if you're not spraying actual flowers, though it just sounded like you might be?!)

Foliar feeding is great technique itself, especially in veg, though in flowering only if you carefully spraying lower and fan leaves only - spray residue on buds is the main way to make bud taste of nutes!

Buds are not built to absorb stuff on their surface as well as leaves, stems, etc, and certainly drying with a fan afterwards is also worst thing as will only make the residue more sticky and less soluble, so harder for the plant to absorb anyway - you need to be able to leave it wet (and preferably dripping!) after foliar feeding, hence why you gotta dial back on it once flowering starts, or become very surgical in application, as whatever you spray on those buds will generally stay there.

Ah ok dude, I don't know those specific products tbh though I'm guessing from the sound of them that at least 1 of them is synthetic? Therefore you may be best doing final 1 week of clean waters only, as yes you can certainly get residues left in bud and it will taste (normally metallic or a clunky bitter taste) and is a reason why some buds will crackle when burnt.

Tbh, I personally think unless you been blatantly overloading on nutes, it makes little difference either way, although i do use organics only plus also believe if dosed right and not excessively then big flushes shouldn't be needed. Though tbf, people argue both sides very strongly so you'll just have to experiment yourself lol! I think at our level the difference probably equates to only a few grams loss/gain either way, so you may as well do what you prefer! And in all seriousness, I'd always rather risk weight over taste so tbh would probably also go on no feed for final week. This cause, in general, I'd say you don't need to flush if it's either a certified organic product or something homemade with actual raw ingredients. Anything else I would stop,using for at least the final week and clean water only, if not 10 days depending on what's in it.

Alrighty thanks for the info! I'm really interested to learn try organic the next time around! The foliar spray I'm using are all live bacteria from humus. The sensi bud has the normal ingredients in back....nitrogen phosphorus etc

organic is only way to go best taste here is my gorilla glue in 1st month of veg from seed just gotta plant it and water it do an occasional top dress and some nice hi PK teas during flower and yum yum

The foliar feeds aren't nute tho they are organic good bacteria derived from humus it's specifically made to use during flower thus it's a yield increase....I've done a lot of research which stated that it is fine to do because it rains in nature as long as it's fan dried to prevent bud rot? What do u think? Still no? Here's ingredients

Ahhhh that sounds a bit better then dude and that's cool you've done the research on it too as i haven't even googled them so you're gonna know far more than me tbf! That's cool if it is formulated for flowering and I'd agree with how you're using it as directed too, as I'd only do similar! I will have to Google it now, as sounds interesting thanks! And yes, I agree that avoiding bud rot definitely trumps solubility of solution! That is a literal killer!

As I said before, yours look perfectly sweet and fine for their age already so tbf it seems like you're doing it all right so far so just keep on doing it dude! If anything does go wrong it normally becomes apparent fairly quickly so if it still looks fine a couple days after any treatment, it usually is. If all stays on track then I think for a first grow you're gonna be pleasantly shocked at how you're gonna end up with a very bountiful harvest!

Yep, I deffo argee organics way to go too dude! Yours looks awesome for 1 month in and love the bushyness - hope you've well stocked up on strong plant ties as gonna need them soon lol! What did you feed with in veg too though please and what soil you got them in?

They are in FFOF amended with worm castings, kelp meal and tomato tone and a dash of hi cal lime i put all that in a tote and watered it and let it cook for about a month, i have done one top dressing with some worm castings and kelp meal since vegging, and im not much of an LST tie down guy i will let these veg another couple 3 weeks then i will throw them on 12 12 and install the scrog net already got it built and fitted lol this is an old picture when i built it

Thanks I appreciate all the help! I'm going to do more research I am concerned about the taste like you said! That GG looks beautiful, I also grow bushy.....GG4 is my 2nd favorite strain, nothing compares to that smell taste and Look!
