I thought everyones plants might look different even though they are the same strain @ Mad, cheers
@ Jack, I was told to stop using nutes 2 weeks before flower and flower is usually 6 weeks.. Seems like everyone here is saying that's wrong, I am just scared that they will end up tasting nasty, next time I water is monday, I normally water with nutes, then the next week no nutes then the next week nutes.. Is this correct or do some people do nutes every week? Also if there is probably 30 days before harvest should I do:
Monday - Nutes
Next monday - No Nutes
Monday after - Nutes
Monday before last - Flush the plants with lots of water
Last monday - harvest
Sp32,
There's just so many different factors involved that I really can't give you specifics on your fertilizer program.
But based on the pictures you posted at the start of this thread I can tell you that what ever you've been doing, you've been doing pretty dam good. That's some really healthy foliage you've got going. I didn't see any indication of over or under fertilizing, no leaf curl, no sign of over or under watering, no insect damage, etc. In other words just keep doing what you have been.
These flowering times you hear every one mentioned are just guidelines and in my opinion are based mostly on optimal growing conditions (which very few of us manage to achieve). The strain I'm growing (Allegria) supposedly has a flowering time of 60 to 70 days but I usually end up taking some where between 80 and 90 days with it.
Also it's my opinion that all this concern people seem to have with nutes making weed taste nasty is blown way out of proportion. I think having your weed taste good has far more to do with harvesting it at the optimal time and then drying (slowly) and curing it correctly. I've given plants nutrients with in a week of harvest in the past and didn't notice any adverse effects to the taste.
I keep feeding mine right up until I think I'm a week to 10 days out from harvest. And figuring out when that is, is pretty much a guessing game based on several factors. Then in that last week I try to give them one or two good flushes with straight water.
I have no set day of the week when I water or feed. I do it when the conditions indicate I need to. I've got multiple plants in some different sized containers and they don't all get the same thing at the same time. I've got each plant numbered and keep a chart of who gets what and when.
I'm not saying you necessarily need to do this but you should keep some kind of journal of what you give them (and when) so that you can look back at it and use it to help make decisions on how you're going to do things on future grows.
O.K. I'm stoned and babbling.
Jack out.
Too tight to buy a new one..
