Thoughts on TPS One nutrients

Lots of white pistils. Still needs to wait for those the turn brown and recede in after that 2 weeks to allow the bud time to swell inside. It'll look like nothing is going on minus the fact they'll start to fall over more if unsupported or it has skinny branches that can't support the weight.

So that's when you're looking at 'done', ready to harvest? Thank you for explaining...

Your plants are far from done

Well they weren't"far from done" they were about a week out...I have a different post here about when plants are done flowering... my last run, I did like you're talking about and what a handful of you guys here say and waited for what you're describing, the result was weed that was undesirable to smoke and became my "cooking weed". To each their own. I'll stick to my own tactics

Nutes are nutes. The damn plant doesn't care what brand. TPS 1, Advanced, GH, blah blah blah. Just feed the damn plant the nutrients it needs. Jacks is one of the cheapest and is as good as any of the fancy designer, overpriced, cannabis specific nutrients that come with some fancy feed chart that has you fiddling around every week with different ratios of a dozen bottles of unecessary stuff.

While I appreciate you chiming in and agree with what you're saying I have to point out that the reason I use TPS one is to avoid what you described because it's supposed to be a stand alone solution so you don't have to fiddle around weekly as you described..I'm on my 5th grow and I've never used anything besides TPS and have not found a reason to stop/switch..makes life easier

If it's working for you then keep using it.

I'd still just use Jacks 5-12-26 and calcium nitrate myself if I had a choice.

As far as a stand alone solution they have a feed chart with 9 different products.

They had more then a week. You can clearly see that. pistils are still white and the brown have yet to recede. Please send me your link to what you’re looking at. I do around 400 plants every couple of weeks. your plants had a lot of swelling to do hopefully you didn’t chop them.

to note out of 160 lbs of weed I have currently 2 lbs of trim left from my last harvest. It smokes smoother than a freshly waxed lady’s ass and flavorful to boot. I feed a two part “professional“ line and recharge. Hell if you want easy look at yaramila.

I can vouch for the TPS Signal... I've used it the last few runs and it does what it claims to do. Stronger aroma, more resin/trichome production. Its recommended to use 2-4ml per gallon throughout flowering, but I only use it in the last one to two weeks of flower.

Something else worth noting, is that if I use over 2.5-4 ml per gal it will bring out colors/purples in the buds on strains that don't normally purple. I personally could care less about color, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

It's cheap, it works for me and a gallon lasts me forever.

Maybe you have come across a problem I've been having for awhile now. Have you grown strains where trichomes do not become cloudy and the weed is non-pychoactive?
