Trying to initiate flowering by pushing bloom nutes is not how it works. But not a bad way to fuck up a plant.

Really, how does it fuck it up tho? I see from my experience that bloom nutes or not some start flowering rapidly and some have had bloom nutes for weeks and still no flower mode. doesnt seem to harm either way....whats you input on that?

Blooming is a function of a hormonal response to decreased light and not a response to nutrients. You can feed all the bloom nutes you want to a plant under 18 hours of light and it will never bloom. The first couple weeks of flowering when the plant is stretching it is using far more nitrogen than anything else with rapid growth (the stretch phase). Cutting N and spiking P too early just increases the risk of nutrient antagonism, locking out nitrogen or other nutes.

Not saying it WILL fuck up your grow, but it can increase the risk of a fucked up grow.

so #3 correlates with what you are saying, and the too much N

Yea seems like flowering is slow this season plus the weather has been kinda weird too. I have Indica/Sativa hybrids I believe BUT Sativa dom. I imagine some ppl with Str8 Sativas are gonna have it worse.

Yea i've heard too much N can stunt a plants growth at certain times of transition like flowering, BUT its as he said plants sense in hormonal change due to photosynthesis of the sun makes a plant flower either way..
 
I had never done an outdoor plant before, only indoors so I checked the times of sunset and sunrise and changed the nutes to bloom according to that, it's only had 1 feeding with bloom nutes, should I go back to veg nutes for my next feeding and not give bloom until I see pistils?
 
I would just stay giving it just water for now till you see flowers then hit that bitch with some juice gradually. Just give half of what a regular measurement would be until you can see how it reacts to the nutes. Then you can administer more as needed. No point in staying on grow juice when any day now you may start seeing flowers. I could be wrong but its just an example take what you want and leave what you dont need.
 
Some ppl just water before flowering anyways just so they can start fresh with bloom nutes and kinda get the rest of the N thats in soil out before administering bloom nutes.
 
Been so rainy been checking for botrytis on a daily and sprayed with fungicide when the conditions were right
Golden Goat and Night Terror(bd xog) these were put under a tarp for 12hrs since june
 
This is my 4th summer growing on my deck in a sub-division. I live in a valley at 6100 ft just 20 miles west of the divide. Wasn't going to do a deck grow this yr but......... I had 5 girls indoors for the upcoming grow and I don't like to do more than 4 in the small space I have indoors, so I took the runt Afghan Kush Special and put it in a 3.5 gal mixed coco hempy bucket. 6/16 first day outdoors I know it's a young plant to try a summer grow with but that's what happened

A month later after 2 topping for the outdoor runt I was ready to transplant the other 4 veg girls into their 2 gal hempy buckets to start flower inside

She was not going to start flowering so on 8/11 I tried to cut out some light within a few days she started to flower.

Yesterday just a couple of wks into flower. I hope we don't have an early frost but things are sketchy here in mid Oct. Might have to finish indoors. But I hope not.
