Week 6+ update: Buds falling over all this last week, strapped them up with some plant velcro. Some in the back I couldn't reach so they will have to be as they will, fuck it. Eating their fan leaves even with upping Jack's 321 to 2.7g/1/8g/0.9g and still minor tip burn so all good. Smelling dank and everyone is sticky.

So I harvested that mystery plant and I’m smoking it and it smells and tastes great for anyone who was wondering! Also, I fed it this stuff from third week of flower until about the 7th week of flower. I don’t plan on using it anymore for atleast a little while because I want to try jacks but yeah I have no complaints about my flavor or smell and it even smoked well and I harvested it on the 20th. Just thought I’d put this here for the people saying “ oh you don’t need that, bad things will happen!”

I’m not saying you’re wrong or right but I’m telling you that your information didn’t apply to my grow and I didn’t find it be relevant to my grow.

And I unwatched this thread a while ago because frankly there were nasty arguments going on for awhile with a member I believe his name is toomp, yeah I’m not interested in his help, I had to unfollow people who I found to be unproductive for me to read their contributions.

Other than some heat stress and burn on the leaves, a beautiful plant. I think it kept making white hairs because of the 90-92f temps I was experiencing before switching to all led this past week.

And yeah I’ll pretty much take it. Lol. Lesson: some times people who think they’re an authority on a subject aren’t. Always do your own research. 9-59-8 works in the right dose and will produce some good results.

So my understanding has been that you want to use a high P booster in early/mid flower, weeks 3-5. After that you want to use something higher in K leading up to the final week flush, weeks 5 til a week before harvest.
The reason is that the plants can use the extra P during early formation of fruit/flower but then extra K for finishing the fruit/flower, or in our case buds. There was more to it but I can’t remember the papers I read that said this let alone find the links to them, although I’m sure a google search may be able to pull something up.
But at the same time, things change everyday within science so what I read a few years ago may now be old, outdated, and wrong info.
But I can say, for me, following the high P then high K thing has worked very well these past few years.

I don't believe the question is will it work. More the questions are, How much does the plant actually use ? How much of the 59% is plant available and how much is stuck in the natural tendencies of Phosphates to bind their molecular structures together and how hard is it to break those bonds to make it available for the plants to use.

You all are right I feel that it is unnecessary to use but it didn’t kill the plants I yielded like 3-4 oz of pretty good stuff I mean it tastes great too it could be smoother but it’s also not done curing

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
Yes DD I think they are a little dark for my liking. Too much N can slow flower initiation. You need some but not too much.

On the harsh smoke from N...a proper drying and curing is the solution there. One experience I had trying to do a late flower P boost was that it totally killed the taste. I'm not talking harsh...it almost made me vomit. Total waste of a good plant. For what it's worth.

Heavy metals has become a “coverall” term when sometimes most of these elements are micronutrients.
