Right, because nitrogen-rich plants are super smooth :roll:

Another child in the era of mis-information.journal 151.jpg About a week or so too go. A plant being green means its 'healty and happy'. This plant is green, but I bet you would be hard pressed to find nitrogen in it. In the soil, yes. Plant, no. Live and learn little grasshopper.

I would go to Homedepot and get a bottle of fish emulsion. 5-1-1. Giveher a few feedings with it. You can add it to your bloom nutes. That will help stabilize her for the finish. Whats already yellowing will probaly continue too. But this should help stopped anymore yellowing. Stinks like, well, really bad. But dont worry. It will not hurt your bud.

thanks is that what i need then nitrogen? where homedepot? should i wait for the plants tofinish then flush them thro for a week or two because they run out of root space or will they continue to flower and finish up with just water?
they smell great nice sweet strange smell realy addictive its only 6 of the 9 with yellowing leaves should i leave the others , and will my harvest time be delayed coz of the yellowing?

Running out of root space can cause many issues. But the emulsion is a readily available sourch of N for them. You can use it right thru the flush if you feel you need too. And I never flush. But I only have to feed very lightly towrds the end of flowering. Heres a basic breakdown: Seedling/clone, first 2 or 3 weeks I go kinda light on the N, a bit more P and K. The plant needs them all, all the way thru. P and K are very important for cell division and root growth. This is also a very crucial time to get the micros into the plant. Magnesium, calcium ect... They all play an important part in a plants developement. Then start upping the N and backing off the P and K for a few weeks. This is transition time, and starts a week before 12/12 and lasts 10-14 days into 12/12. Lots of growth happens during this period. If you dont get it grown now. No place for your future bud to fatten up. This is the time of do or die in my book. At this point your plants will be much greener than they were before transition. Now they are green, happy and ready to flower. From here to the finish line, tons of variable, strain, grow style, enviroment. We all deal with different issues. This is when you throw the fucking feeding schedule out the door. If you not already. And learn to pay attention to your plants and give them what they are asking for, not what you are told to give them. You will rock out on some grows. And fall flat on your face other grows. WE ALL DO! The best part of it is. You learn something new each day. And grow some veggies in containers. There is just lots to learn. And it never stops.

thanks alot for that dude just looking thro my grow catalog finding stuff with more n in it , i hear wat you saying finding the balance that best suits the plants your growing , do you think these plants will swell up nicely at the end? as long as they have the extra nitrogen cant wait till i get a toke of them seems ages away and just hope the stress is all worth it can you show me how your grow is going and wat are you growing at the min is it a good smoke?

Looking pretty fat already. So dont go overboard. Throw some unsulphered blackstrap molasses in the mix from here on out. Tablespoon per gallon or so. And even if you do not get any n too it. The molasses will provide some. And may also free up some N sources soil that are just bound up. It really has alot to offer the last 2 or 3 weeks. Just do not use it every watering.

The LAST thing you need in the last week of flower is nitrogen. Ever heard of a P-K booster? Do you know when they're supposed to be used? It's no coincidence that there is no N in that mix.

The needs of your plant change depending on the stage of life it's in. You telling him to load up on nitrogen when his plants should be finishing is like recommending someone use a P-K booster during the vegetative stage. :roll:

I'm unsubscribing to this thread as I've made my comment and the OP can do what he wants with it.

Fish emulsion is not 'a load up on nitrogen' Its a simple source of 'food' and many other beneficial elements that will help his plant finish. Plain and simple. Or did you miss the part about it possibly being pot or root bound? Not the entire key to my answer. But certainly a big part of it.

thanks for both of your advice ive been looking at the biobizz range bloom and grow i currently am only useing the bloom whitch is 2.0 6.0 3.6 and looking at the grow what is 8.0 2.0 6.0 im currently maxing the bloom feed out useing 5 ml per litre of water i am at 7 weeks today ams says it has a 9 week flowering time but we all know this is only a guideline and may even take up to 12 weeks either way i have at least 3 weeks left and im worrying that they wont make it , it does make sence thinking about it that it might be a nitrogen diffecincy the soil has all been used up and the plants are starveing , i know that pk boosters will help but looking at the npk of both the grow and bloom nutrients i think that i need to find a balence between the too i am going to try 4ml of bloom and 1 ml of grow nutes to per litre of water, do you both think this will be ok? it should bring up all the npk and give the plants what they deserve and hopefully reward me with a good yeild
