I'm new to using nutrients and not quite sure...
Stickanswered grow question 7y ago
Hi @GreenthumbCBD! What's your container's size? 4ml of nutrients by Liter of water seem fine for a photosynthesis strain, but 1L of solution each watering is maybe a bit low. Your plant is big, she must drink a lot. Your diary info says 4L by day, I guess you did not update this information? 4L is probably too much (depending on your container's size), but I think she will enjoy 2-2.5L every 2 days or everyday under hot weather. About the feeding routine, I guess you already know the feeding calculator by AdvancedNutrients : https://www.advancednutrients.com/nutrient-calculator/. This should be a good basis. Don't forget about the flush, 1-2 week(s) before harvest, only plain pH'd water to get rid of any chemicals in the buds. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Personally I feed my plants with nutrients once per week. I also use less than what the manufacturer recommends (somewhere between 1/2-3/4 strength). The rest of the time I use PH'ed water only. Hope this helps. Good luck! 👍

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?5y ago

I'm considering topping her today, and was wondering if it's a good time for it. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to wait a bit longer? She seems to be quite healthy and growing noticeably every day. I'm in no rush at all, just hoping for best results as a first grow. Thanks!Week 4

I am a newb with nutrients and growing in general and i'd like too know how much too feed and how often for optimal results. I know this will depend on what nutrients i use and different species of plant. But in general how much is too little and how much is too much? Cheers 👊Week 4

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?Techniques. Defoliation

Nebula Technique , and I have created the 8 kola's and began spreading the branches via LST. Should I cut off new stems branching from 8 kola's, which add to the canopy ? and keep just 8 main stems which buds can form? or side branches which receive good light and canopy cut?Week 8

Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guysWeek 6

Aplicar defoliación??Veo que ya tienen muchas hojas.
¿Me recomendáis una defoliación?
No me atrevo, ya que no quiero extresarlas mucho y frenar el crecimiento en ésta última semana, aunque creo sería bueno para que penetre mejor la luz.
¿O bajo mejor un poco el foco?Week 4
