It doesn't say anything on it other than that, it was the only flowering nutes they had, I'm hoping I havn't just wasted £10 haha.

no info at all!? strange, i'd start off with maybe a ml or 2 tops. build it up gradual, if the tips of the leaves start to look burnt go back a touch.

Thanks man, it is really strange that there isn't any instructions, oh well il give it a go, some nutes however shitty it might be must be better than none :)

Plants looks good from what I can see with my head cocked sidways......LOL Besides for getting some nutes. (I like organics as they are mild and very forgiving) I would also pinch/trim all the scrubby little limbs and shoots on the lower section of the plant......as those are only robbing your good bud sites of growth,water,energy and nutes.

Good luck and enjoy those buds: Stlmatt

Thanks for the advice dude! Would trimming cause abit of stress to the plant and stop growth for a few days, iv read a few posts about for and against trimming, what's your opinion?

Ya bro, nice grow +rep

I would be real careful adding nutes to a plant that never had them and looks that good...... idk bro but I would be so careful. Figure 1tsp per gallon is, normally 5ml??

tsp=5lm per gallon

Would do maybe as said earlier 1.5ml max....

Alright so iv just done some trimming of the plant and added a slight amount of nutes to a pint of water, iv left the main leaves on the branches with buds, but took a lot of the larger fan leaves off and the smaller pathetic ones too. I'm hoping it's not going to be detrimental to the plant but it does make sense that excess leaves would take a lot of the goodness away from the buds. Il try post a pic soon of my new clean cut plant, that's actually looking a little bare now apart from the buds haha.

go easy on removing the fan leaves man. it needs those to catch the sun and shade the plant.

think of it like a car engine, you wouldn't remove the fan belt to make the car go faster. don't panic though it'll bounce back it's still well early in flower.

lollipopping the bottom straggly shoots is a good plan though

Maybe I should have expained the thinning out process a bit better. I do not remove any larger healthy fan leaves, but I do pinch off and remove the lower bud sites and any small shoots that are not going to produce anything more than a popcorn bud. This can be tricky to someone who has never grown before as knowing what to remove and what not to can be tricky. Take more pics and post them (rotate them the correct way b4 posting) and we can see whay u have done or need to do.

Well I'm Gunna post some pics tomorrow, it's lights off ATM so I don't want to interrupt it. I think iv made good use of the fan leaves iv taken off though, put em in a pan with water, boiled it up, mashed the leaves to next to nothing, strained it and bottled it to use instead of water, put all the goodness from the leaves back into the plant :)

That would be cool, would that work?
