I’ve found that pushing early or too hard is way worse than caution. It works perfectly when everything else is dialed in. Pushing when any significant problem is present only makes thing worse.
Timing is everything, How do you know when to switch nute ratios?
@SaintAliasKnife check out what they use here feed wise , it’s cheap and easy to use
Lowering n and raising p and k in flower will greatly improve quality ( density , power and smell ) of buds plus help come trim time , less leafs in bud
1/1/1 veg
2/1/1 stretch w1-2 14 days
1/3/2 or 1/3/3 w2-w4 ( start when you see actual flowering starting
W4-7 1/4/4 or stop when you want or strain wants to stop flowering and wants to ripen
W8 to finish or when you want to start ripen then 1/2/6
Only ppm needs dailed in for each stage after that
You shouldn’t see any defs on that feed unless something else is up ie ph ppm or temp etc
If def occurs and it’s not related too what I am not pushing then I know it’s ph or envioment ( process of elimination ) and if im control I will know what’s causing it quickly
If you use it as they recommend you have too many roots lol
I just use just enough at certain times as a bonus like a slight nudge tip balance in my favour soo lasts ages and good value
Once the penny drops it’s easy to see what we doin and why with that feed ( the understanding behind it ) then use this way of thinking with everything ( temp spectrum intensity )
Spring = veg = balanced feed
Early summer = stretch = high n
Summer = flowering = 1/3/3 high pk
Fall = ripening = 1/2/6 high k
And envio to match
Sending strong signal not confusing the plant
The plant is assessing eveeeeeery thing all the time
There’s more to it than using a one or two part and Flipping 12/12 : )
You don’t have to be perfect and push everything just feed and one or two others is enough as a signal but the more the better
( saves money too as plant only gets what it needs for that stage , nothing extra to confuse it )
I get it. I have the nutrients. and the schedules. trying this way currently. in a few months, i’ll test the output and decide then. I’m in no hurry, growing them is my zen. trying to simplify. I’m getting old, i tend to ruminate, simple is better for me mentally. I have to give it a fair shake.
Bro I can move around in the room plants love the space and the hight is not an issue
Only thing is sounds and smell neighbors are on top of each other
