9-59-8. Phosphorous When does this need to be used?

How do my plants look though brother?you said they look beautiful, they seem to look fine to me, do you see something in your crystal ball that I am missing? You seem to have some axe to grind here brother... Is there any point you want to make? The nutrients I used from the shop were cheap, easy to use, just followed the schedule, I seem to be looking at some pretty great results... is there anything relevant to my grow and it’s current thriving state which you would like to contribute?

I honestly think I mixed up your thread with a deficiency one I was a part of while checking my alerts.
They look beautiful still and you're doing better then some experienced growers.
Don't take things too seriously on the internet. Read and take it or leave it.
I'm no professional, just have my own experience and knowledge to go off of.

I still don't think you need so much involved. Less is more like stated above. and it's easier to add nutrients then to flush them out and re balance them.

 

[Dragon Daddy]

My advise on it and with everything relating to this is ease into it.
Start off light and note what happens, never come in at the recommended strength, or you will most likely create a problem.
Don't forget that less is more. All you need to grow great weed is nothing more than you would need to grow something like tomatoes. It is very easy to get caught up in marketing, because of the yields of the plant we grow. If green beans went for $70 each, you would see elaborate nutrient formulas for them, and people arguing to the death over which NPK ratio to use on snow peas.
Hydroponic stores and companies know that no one is really spending big bucks to grow lettuce and stuff. Since weed is worth so much compared to other crops, companies put huge money into marketing their 'special' stuff for it. People think you need all this stuff for it, and you don't.

This is what I have always wanted to be true and I hope jacks kicks ass. That will be all I ever really need to use hopefully. Do you have any experience with jacks or similar products. I watched I guy on YouTube called genes garden and he said he uses jacks 321 full strength from the beginning to end. So do I just mix the stuff up in my five gallon and ready to roll? I am not going to be concerning myself with my ph I know my water comes out around 7-7.8 so after mixing stuff it’s never far out of range. I never ph anything and all my plants look happy.

I am called the dragon for a reason. That is why I grow my own medicine now lol. Sorry if I came off heated but I take things like this pretty seriously I’m sorry. I’m very proud of my little dragon garden I know I’m no pro. I see people’s plants that make mine look like twigs and leaf.

Yea, you are throwing too many variables into the mix. Then adding your additives and catylsts, etc. which is making things further out of wack. Then if you don't flush or water with adequate run off, you'll get salt build up.

I've never used fox farm but from what I've read, it's pretty hot on it's own.

It's mostly soiless. The small amount of soil had nutes but was enough for only a week or two of veg.

 

[toomp]

I’ll try to get some more closeups of the one further along in flowering on the left. The one on the right is OG Kush CBD and is 34 days/5 weeks in flower and the one on the left is the mystery which is 40 days/almost 6 weeks in.

Nice and green.

 

[Dragon Daddy]

Nice and green.

I’m actually wondering if they’re too dark green? Do they look right? I mean the one on the left still has pretty dark green leaves and it should be done I think in like a couple weeks. I have heard that at the end of flowering if they’re pretty dark green that can be a bad thing and could indicate there being too much nitrogen and it making the smoke harsh

How many times you water a week?
I don't know man, it hurts yield when you fade. If you worried about it take it an extra week with no food it will use what's in the medium then start to use what's in the leaves.
If you water 1-2 times a week take it 2 extra weeks. You will have a denser product, riper, and peace of mind knowing you used up it's reserves.

I usually water these 15 gal grow bags I’d say every 10 days or so.

Go 2 weeks after recommend harvest with no food

Sulphur is good for smell.

So what should I be doing something with some sulphur at this stage? And those look nice, so mine don’t look that much different, would you say this all worked out because I used mostly promix and only a 1/6 of coco loco and fox farm potting mix. Things look beautiful. Would sulphur in improving smell, improve flavor respectively?

 

[Dragon Daddy]

I got jacks the other day in the mail. Is there any trouble when switching a plant from one nutrient brand to another? I got great results with my grow stores stuff but jacks is a little cheaper and might get even better results, easier.

Looks like a strong 12% strain

Which one?
What's the ratio?

 

[whitebb2727]

Looks like a strong 12% strain

Ok?

Probably higher than that.

I don't buy into the hyped high thc strains. A good 15% strain can rock you harder than a high 20's% strain.

Sulphur isnt needed. It helps smell and taste. It helps oil production.

Jacks 321

I agree with that because i grew some feminised autoflower seeds ordered from seedsman called afghan express and they were rated to have like 15-18% and the shit blew my head off, you couldn’t get higher.

 

[Dragon Daddy]

Well I don’t agree that they rock harder than a strain with a higher thc percentage. They might taste better or be more of the variety a person wants (sativa/indica) but generally more thc means more potent.

 

[Dragon Daddy]

The OG Kush CBD im growing is said to have a 1:1 and on occasion 1:2 thc:cbd ratio to the tune of around 10% which is very exciting. Smells very good.
