Quick Question

Gotta quick question here.

Would i be better off to wait until after i pull my clones on tuesday to start a flowering only nutrient? will it affect the rooting / growth of the cutting if i start the flowering nutrient today and pull the cutting on tuesday?

(i need an answer as soon as possible, my girls are hungry.)

When did you flip to 12/12? Your plants should be on veg nutes for 2 weeks after the flip, then switching to flowering nutes BUT still giving her a little N until 2-3 weeks before the chop. You can take clones pretty much anytime, but taking clones after the plant has started flower is a bit off a waste since the clone then has to revert to veg. So the answer ( in my book ) is you can take a clone up until 2 weeks after the flip. Hope that helps.

my plants were flipped to 12-12 3 days ago (tuesday). my P-K Booster (bud blood) says: Use for the first week of flowering.

Monster Cropping: is the method of reverting a flowering cutting back to veg as a clone then running a general 25-30 day veg -- 40ish day flowering.

Basically all i need to know is whether i should hit my plants with a P-K booster today or wait until after i take my clones.

From my knowledge, (im having some issues with my girls) they are hungry for P-K and one of them has a light abundance of nitrogen. Another issue im having is 2 of the plants have some yellowing of fan leaves about mid way up the plant. seems like nute burn as they have light browning in the middle of the leaf after about a week of it being yellow. only a few leaves are affected and it definitely doesn't seem to be spreading to the rest of the plant. But i want to be as cautious as possible as to not fuck up anymore than i already have. The fault definitely lies with something i have done wrong.

I mix my Sensi Grow A + B + B52 into one gallon of water. generally using 3-4 gallons per water / feeding. when i switch to flowering nutes im going to use Bud Blood for the first week and then im going to start using Sensi Bloom A+B + Big Bud + Nirvana + B52 all in the same jug like the feeding chart implies.

i guess we'll see what happens and how they turn out. so far they seem like they have bounced back and are recovering well. live and learn i suppose. I'm switching off of AN after this grow simply because im tired of there scammy propaganda expensive bullshit and the nutes are starting to get worse and worse reviews and im starting to have more and more problems with them as i go, so im gonna switch. I have been looking into the General Hydroponics Flora Series.

Save yourself some $, do a really good soil mix and then just make teas. It so incredibly simple and the results are the same. All those nutes are just $ out of your pocket into someone elses pocket.

Back to the main issue though. I shouldn't hit my plants with my Flowering only PK Booster before taking clones right? should i just skip forward and take my clones today and say fuck the bullshit and lollypop up like a champ and then hit my girls with the flowering nutes?

heres the issue im having. the rear left plant about midway up has a fan leaf or 2 that are yellowing up and look like they may be burnt or deficient. the under carriage leaves if you will, underneath with little light pen, are turning almost like a pale yellow/white and fall off the plant and i have to pick them out of the soil. all and all the plants appear healthy and are continuing to grow.

Take your clones now while they are healthy, then work on healing your mother plant. My advice.

the nutrient has nothing to do with how well the plant will take root. the stage of the plants life cycle does. I would cut asap before they get too far into flowering mode and your dealing with stessed out clones because they are in flower mode and got switched back to a vegatative light schedule.
