did something different now what

Popped a bunch of reg beans which I normally don't do. I totally fucked up my whole process. I just usually plant fems and go from solos into 5 gal..

So this time I put them all in 1 gal pots until they show sex because I didn't want to waste a bunch of dirt on males..

So now they are starting to show sec and I'm going to start transplanting them into 5g of Ocean forest, but they are only about one week away from when I'd normally flip them and start feeding bloom nutes.

Now I'm worried that the nutes in the Oceanforest are going to fuck up my flowering schedule because of the high amount of nitrogen in the mix. What should I do, let them veg a few more weeks? Or flower them and not feed any bloom nutes? I don't really want fucked up flowers from to high of nitrogen during the first 4 weeks of flower either.

perhaps cut the ocean forest some with promix if concerned.

the healthiest plants i see in flower have been fed w approx 20% N all the way thru flower. maybe keep majority of OF towards bottom of 5 gallon w more PM towards top. and I'd let em veg a wk or two longer, so the roots develop real nice.

I figured I'd give them at least a week to adjust to being transplanted anyways, I just don't want them to get too big before I flip and outgrow my space

like said above, cut the OF with something less hot, use some old soil and amend into new OF. you can also "flush" the soil a bit to wash out the goodness (OF ferts).

me personally, id run the OF straight, then add flower nutes 2 weeks later than you normally do. then use 50% nutes to see if the plants can handle it.

I agree with this, I've done this process many ways as far as transplanting just before flip. You can wait longer to use nutes, but planting in 5 gal pots and flipping should equate to less fertilizer and a longer wait to add.

Welcome to growing some real plants brother. Wasting dirt on males isn't as bad as growing artificially created genetics. You will be much happier. I've grown hundreds of FEMS and regs. After cloning several generations regs will have less genetic drift and keep the vigor.

Res I'm not doubting that but I've never not had amazing genetics that were artificially created.. Sannies, Serious AK47, etc... The only fem seeds that ever sucked were the freebies..


My issue is room and plant count, Its much more beneficial to me to be able to plant x number of plants knowing they are female so I can meet my quota come harvest.

Planting 8 beans and having only
3 fems in the end is not good for me.

^^^^

exactly the reason I started with FEM seeds. it takes the guess work, time/money wasted on possible males, and peace of mind knowing you have all females and not a male lurking in the shadows to spew its pollen on your females and ruining an entire crop.

If this type of situation can fuck up your whole process, then why are you growing from seed? You should just be cloning, its much faster than messing with beans and you know exactly what you're going to get...

BTW, don''t worry about the nitrogen. I personally feed my plants what most would consider a veg formula all through flowering.

Because I don't have room for a veg room and a flower room...
