So I just fed cha ching in the frist week of flower because I wasn't pay attention and thought it was open sesame. I realized my mistake about half way through and know I'm siting here thinking I just fucked half my crop. Can anybody tell me if this gonna cause serious problems down the line ?

I like to feed bloom nutes a week before flipping to flower myself. That stuff is super high P in relation to K so I'd find something switched the other way for after the stretch when pot prefers more K than P. I like a little P/K at the start but then Big Bud for for it's 2nd and further doses. 0-15-35 plus 20 aminos and other goodies. I've use BB since it was invented and hate to grow without it.

People bitch about too much N giving pot that 'chem' taste but it's generally too much P that causes that and most P/K boosters are bent toward the P side of the equation. Much better for tomatoes than pot.

Shouldn't hurt anything but I'd go easy on it.

Good luck!

:peace:

Thanks, that calms my nerves a little. I feed bloom nutes a week before flowers as well. My plants are currently taking about 6 gallons a day and I was afraid the cha ching might cause come sort of nute lockout that slows done there eating. Does that make sense ?

Gotta stop thinking you "fuck a whole crop" from one application of bloom nutes for Christ sake.

You guys have got to work on your anxiety. Stop blowing things out of proportions.

I'm so.over hearing stuff like "have I destroyed my whole grow?, I topped after third node" or "I used bloom nutes a few days early, should I start over".

These are weeds guys, they grow fine. Stop overthinking it. I've used bloom nutes all the way through with no issues, so why would one feed suddenly destroy your whole grow?

I'm in the newbie section for a reason. Also If you read my reply I was more just thinking that I could potentially slow the how much food my plants are eating witch would hurt my final weight. I do need to work on my anxiety there's just alot on the line with this grow and I'm sure others feel the same way.

What you meant to say is you fucked up and bought cha Ching for no reason rather feeding it a balanced feed. Bloom boosters are absolutely over priced and not needed.

What’s on the line? Do tell what is it so important that life itself hangs in the balance? Do you have 50-500 plants? Do you owe your coke dealer money from using all the product? Did you baby momma sell your soul and you need to pay the devil 1 million dollars to get it back. If non of these fall into what’s going on calm down and let the little girls grow. You got pictures of this has to succeed crop?

Makes total sense to me. Too bad some people have nothing better to do than chastise a new grower in the new grower section for asking a question about something he/she/it had to learn itself at one point. Must be nice to know it all.

Too much P can cause a lot of problems so like I said I wouldn't be going crazy with it in the desire to get huge buds. I used to push them hard then back off at the first sign of nute burn but ran into issues like toxic salts buildup, (which I see a lot of posts about and most replies say throw more crap at them which is the worst thing to do), and nasty tasting buds. Now I feed less and only increase when I see things like yellowing fan leaves which is the most obvious sign of low nutes. Low N shows before most others but with continued lack other deficiencies will rear their ugly heads.

The plants want more P during the stretch so you probably helped a bit if anything. Here's a little pic of what goes on with P.

And the full chart I chopped that pic out of. Lots of clues around each one so a little detective work goes into diagnosing problems with any degree of accuracy. Should save it for future reference.

PS: Seems like all the jerks from the politics forum decided to stagger in and fling their feces at the newbie. Been pretty slow over there since the Trumpster hit the dumpster. ;) Don't forget there's an Ignore function just for such eventualities.

Nobody's forcing to read posts you don't want to and no reason to be childish about replying either.

If you have nothing constructive to say then don't say anything.

So lets just destroy another thread by getting all douche-baggery about things eh.

Snowflake much? Sorry the world isn't a bed of flowers with gazelles and lions laying around in unison enjoying all the equity for the downtrodden.

Some people want newbies to live in a world of anxiety where they think a single feed will render half a crop useless, others want them to relax a little and understand these plants are pretty hardy, and that stressing over minor issues is unneeded. It's all a live and learn. Noone is going to lose their livelihood first grow because they fed a single dose of flower boost while flowering, and someone needs to tell them sooner or later.

It was the best news I ever received when I started growing a few years back.

Lucky for me I rarely ever visit the politic section other then to laugh At antivax ppl. I’m was simply wondering why there was so much on the line for this grow. I have 500+ plants and I don’t worry about a thing other then fire and other such acts of god. But I’ve got insurance on all the equipment and buildings soooooo No big deal. I have my genetics in enough places to reset easy plus lose of wages. People need to let things roll a d you have to be honest there have been a few folks that have been way over the top stupid with stuff lately Especially newbies.

A good way to look at it. Plants have a metabolism just like any other lifeform on this planet. We use a lot of the same macro and micro nutrients as plants to a degree. If we are relatively healthy, and decide to change our macros/micro ratio considerably for one meal without ingesting anything toxic, do you think we are going to fuck half of our life? Nope...we just pick it up, and eat better in the future. There might be a slight change due to homeostasis working to smooth things out, but in general, lifeforms don't just cease to exist due to a small nutrient change, unless they have ingested a straight poison, or have some type of metabolic disorder.

No you will be fine. Open sesame, beastie Bloomz, & cha Ching are all very similar, just slightly different ratios. open sesame & cha Ching are almost identical so better cha Ching than bestie bloomz

Holy shit, I didn’t even realize there was a politics spot here lol, what a dumpster fire that section must be. I guess I never explored much, I keep it to the newbie, plant problems, & general growing sections. Might’ve found some better toilet reading material

Has nothing to do with your anxiety. This is about your plants here. About your situation.
Don't even trip on anyone trying to make you feel dumb for being a newb. It's their way of self-assurance.

Like a few others here, I don't think one feed will harm anything.

You've already got some good advice. Plant more seed & be free :blsmoke:
