It's my second grow and I don't know much. Do you think these plants are ready for overdrive? 58 days old glueberry OG. It has to be used the last 2 weeks before flush. Is it bad to be used earlier. Check the photos and tell me please.

Leon those are some sweet plants for your second grow, well done.

I've been using overdrive for only the last 2 weeks of flower, I might try it for longer if Silentvirtue gives us a report on how it affects his plants.

From Advanced Nutrients:

"Advance Nutrients Overdrive is for use from 3 weeks before harvest through to the flush. Simply make up your reservoir as usual to the required strength and add Overdrive to your feed water/nutrient solution at a rate of 2ml/Litre."

It's high dose stuff run at 1ml per ltr. I use it like I said around day 30 as I find K and P needs start going up. It's effectively a PK boost. I also run butgauno in weeks 3-6 which also help with P and K needs.

Good effort for round 2 aswell.

Here's the results of running from day 30. Currently day 32. I'll run to about day 65(ish). Make your own mind up.

Thanks. They look much better than my first attempt. I did 70g with 1500 true watts. They burned from nuts. Now I try light feed and it works. Yes the last 2 weeks, I know i be been searching for this 2 weeks now but the problem is I don't know when the last 2 weeks are. The only thing I can see is that all my plants are in different blooming phase. I don't even know when the right time for harvest is. Big noob in growing yet. So by the pictures you see any plant ready for overdrive? Stupid answer right now cause o already started it yesterday... Anyways any help here is gold

Nice grow. I think we use the same schedule sensi bloom A/B, overdrive and guano extract or am I wrong? Lol and same day in flowering. Maybe we harvest together.

Indeed your right. I'm a bit of an AN whore.

My feed schedules for flower currently is

10 ltr water
Con A 14.5ml
Con B 14.5ml
Molasses 8ml
Plagron Bat Gauno powder 8ml
Bud candy 8ml
B52 8ml
Rhino Skin 4ml
Sensizyme 5ml
Overdrive 8ml
Nirvana 8ml
Bud Factor X 8ml

For the first two weeks of veg and flower I used Pirhana voodoo juice and tarantula. I also used sensi cal from week 2 veg to week 3 flower (ish, untill they crown)

Coco perlite 70/30
PH 5.5 (start to finish)
EC 2.0 (a+b to go up. Water to come down)

I'm day 33 of flower and no where near ready ill go to about day 65

Good way to tell is trichome colour. Most people harvest between 10-25% amber. Check with a jewellers loop around 30-40x

Another rule.of thumb is they day you start seeing amber trichromes your approx 21 days from harvest. It is only a rule of thumb so check with your flowering times.

Also your a way off yet start using overdrive but it's strong stuff. Well be chopping same weekend probs!

Nice feeding looks safe. How often are you watering? I would go for Coco and perlite but I was reading that requires 2 times watering per day. Right now I am watering every 2-3 days 2-3L each.
I use
2ml/L sensi A/B
1ml/L carboload
Overdrive 1ml/L
Guano extract 4ml/L.
Maybe if I used a more professional feeding like yours I would have bigger buds. They look ok now but I think my 1000 watt CMH and 2x 240watt quantum's make the plants hungry. They could be bigger.

My next grow will be 6-8 auto ultimates + 2 of something high yielding of phenotype in hydro 60L tank each in the same room. Ultimates need 3 months from seed so when I chop them I turn 12/12 the others after 3 months of veg. I am searching for a complete hydro schedule right now.

Well I water every other day and every watering is a feed. I mix 10 litres and feed each plant 2.4 ltrs. I also don't feed untill run off. I know at 2.5 litres in my 20 litre airpots my soil stays moist enough and dries out nicely between each water. Basically soil style watering, people always comment some crap about I need to get the run off etc. I only need it to diagnose a problem or rectify a problem.

You'll be amazed how much denser they get. Good effort to be fair.

Check this out this is mine. It does change slightly through the grow. I had a few issues I didn't expect with leds. Hence the "experiment"

Contains everything I've fed it, when I did it why I changed things etc.
