Buds looking normal? First grow!

Not so much defoliation, but they call it lollipopping the bottom.

Only flush if you have a problem, not for harvest... That's my opinion.
So for the last weeks of flowering, do you taper down the PPM in your water? If you could just outline your process quickly, I would really appreciate it.

I’m super excited to press nice, fresh buds into some rosin with this beauty!image.jpg

I grow organic now, so I don't do ppm. The flower just does its thing and cannabalizes itself. Some folks don't like that though.

Whatever you do, just cut off N by the 6 week mark. They need N in flower, but too much slows the finish and gives it a harsh smoke.

They need feed all the way til the end, do not starve your plants at the end.

I’m using these nutrients right now... which would you continue feed in the last two weeks? I also have Epsom salts, but don’t add much very often, and I ordered bud factor x, but that says to stop after week 6 as well. image.jpg

Well, I don't know what's in any of them lol. I see the ratios, but ingredients are more important to me.

Just looking, off the top of my head, the micro, bloom, and maybe the big bud depending on what's in it. The molasses isn't really going to do anything if you aren't feeding microbes that the others won't do.

Or, the micro and the Canna PK.

I've never used any of them though, so you're better to ask someone who has or follow the feed chart. You're doing good now. If you just stay on track and then at 2 weeks out, one last feed half strength, then just water.

Perfect, that’s exactly what I’ve been planning on doing. Already have feed schedule prepared, just the last two weeks that I’ve been trying to figure out. Thanks again!

I should also probably say I’m using 5 gallon pots, except the small(8 inch diameter) pot in the center. The purple container is filled weekly with yeast/sugar/water during flowering for extra co2.
Good old Vipa killing it, top notch

Ballpark guess..hard to realistically tell from a pic. If they all have four main branches like that, I’ll say 11 Oz total. Just cause I like to guess.

I followed the BS advice to stop feeding at 6 weeks. Has lengthened flower time by at least a month. Keep feeding them til they are done IMO. Do whatever you want IDGAF.
Well my experience has not been the same as yours in any way. A month? Not buying it all.

If you don't give a shit, why are you telling me to feed til harvest lol?

They have been in flower since the 1st of December 104 days and counting. I followed the advice to stop feeding at 6 weeks and regret it.
