That’s how it was done last time. I don’t believe so many will fall for that chit this time. Many have been caught, it’s just not worthy of main stream attention as it does not fit the narrative. Big things coming..watch.
Gmorning all, cold wet, grey and miserable here in Nova Scotia today......not much different from our summer just about 10c colder.
Sounds like a good day despite the gloomy weather and sick kitties. How’s the Crack coming along? I’m pretty pleased with mine.
I don’t know. A lot of people are comfortable with doing what their government tells them to do. They might complain more this time around, but they’ll still comply with Simon says.
I never was good with Simon says. Got sent home in the seventh grade for saying ”Feck Simon”..
I’m 1% and was never good at following gov rules.
Yes we always have some grass for them, they have access outside and can get some grass near there enclosures and my wife brings it in for them to chew on, I have some oat and wheat grass here we used last year, it grows well under led lights.
I had a test in school one time with 30 questions on it and the instruction said read all questions before filling in the answers, There were a few vocal questions where they asked to shout the answer and be rewarded for the first one to reach that question. anyways it went on for 30 questions with a variety of tasks needed to be performed on some questions. The 30th question was do nothing sign your name. Most students failed.
Baking Chef/instructor used to do that lol. Bury some critical step that needed to be done 1st way down in the recipe to teach us the importance of reading directions thoroughly before doing anything else. She was right and it was a good lesson.
Lite feed a little n won’t hurt , ya still got a bit
I'd add some N, but it won't re-green dying leaves. I use veg formula nutrients almost the way through flower and just add a couple pk spikes. i dont swich out to straight bloom ratio until about 3/4 of the way through. A few weeks before harvest.
You are in a hard spot. I was dead set against dropping the N but after doing it several times and now smoking the finished product I am not going back.
I came at it the other way around. I used to drop N by week 3 in flower and keep it low, few years ago started keeping it in longer and longer, and got much healthier harvests.
One thing I need to clarify, when I say I never add N in flower that means any above and beyond what gets added with each feeding, an organic teaing and the bloom nutes, when they go to flower. A, 4 6 1 combo with every feeding and the N content from Seaweed. All which contain small amts of N.
Smart teacher
I have been dropping it at week 6 and completely removing it at week 7.
Hillbilly Hand GuideYou yankees are getting more snow than us up in Canuckland this year!
Might have to start making living in igloo jokes for you guys
Ok that's not much different than me. On a 9-10 week strain I cut it way way back by week 7. Almost no nitrogen the last couple weeks of feeding.
Last two weeks I go to plain water.
I did also when I used peat mixes, even in rockwool the last week is just water and some flawless finish. How many weeks in flower are you at now? I forget.
I keep pushing this chart and that's how I'm feeding now. With just base nutes until week 2-3 of flower then everything goes up in a curve, I've stretched it to 10 weeks for my plants and just taper off as it shows. Can anyone argue against this chart?
Seems odd that the chart shows no P, K or even Ca until the second week of flower. But I do agree those nutrients benefit from spikes at the times shown on the chart.
With 6 week old plants in Promix I've only fed the 3 time with light feed 3/3/3ml gal and I take this chart as showing just base nutes until week's 2-3 of flower. We don't feed that much in veg anyways . I was getting yellowing leaves starting week 3 ish too but since adding the cal/mag at week 3 I'm not seeing that yellowing start
Chart is a week or 10 days late with the p and k and weeks late with the c and mag. Imo
Yes I see that with your chart and looking at mine I see no K before 4,5 weeks where as they get it with more bloom in week 2-3........so my chart does have oddities, even with only 8 weeks I see that as too short a period in flower.
Five.
I have seen that chart many times before Aptus started using it. Many grows under commercial LED's has taught me week 2 is the peak of calcium uptake as @smoke posted in the chart Bill Farthing posted many years ago. I have seen it too many times to dispute it. It comes on around day 12 to 18 and it is manifests itself in the fan leaves approximately 6 to 8" from the top of the plant. The sign is rust spots on the fan leaves at the last 1/3 of the finger.
I started looking into because of Athena Nutrients. The end product always smelled very similar because of the nutrient profile. Athena was really taking a hit for this and it became widely known. As a result and to save their reputation they came up with a product called Fade. It is calcium chloride, chlorine and micro nutrients. Athena recommends fade from week 6 on. so no N
When/if the cannabis nutrient lines ever discover Stabilized Calcium Silicate it will be a game changer. So much easier to control it as a standalone nutrient.
Ya I started using some different Calcium alternatives the big nutrient manufactures cannot use. I am impressed with the out come.
So i had a gsc outside this year and no matter how much nitrogen i threw at her she was never happy and lost all her fans by mid flower.
That’s how you learn! Try it all. This one has me on my ear! I have thrown worm tea at her, top dressed her with worm castings and watered them in, seaweed, farmers pride grow, flower girl, and an organic bat guano tea. Not many tricks left in my bag.So i had a gsc outside this year and no matter how much nitrogen i threw at her she was never happy and lost all her fans by mid flower.
Never got it figured out. Had a clone from it inside and same issue.
Idk
This is why i suck with this kind of stuff lol.
