Flowering Period?

[LoveMeBucket]

Hi, I put my tree into flower 15th of March so she's about 6 weeks into flower and doing nicely, lots of budsites, have tied her down heaps and getting a nice canopy of greenery happening So my Q is, Approx how long will she take to finish flowering? I dont know what the strain is, just seed out of the bottom of an oz bag. Also, I have been using "Head-On Grow" A 1 Part nute feed. I think the plant has been getting a bit less stinky than at the start of flowering. So, should I use more nutes now the plant is getting bigger and has been put into flower? And is it ok to switch nutrients half-way through a grow? Im thinking of switching it to a 2-part style nute, I have heard this style nutes are better..

 

Thanks

One part mj nutrients are often weaker than two part and often have a lower amounts of calcium and sulphur which in turn means that more of the nutrient base has to be used to supply the amount of nutrients, two part are more concentrated and being in two parts there they can be more concentrated as they can separate the ingredients that would react with each other in two separate containers, therefore you have a more economical and much improved nutrient base, there shouldn’t be any problems with changing the nutrients as long as you use them according to manufacturers specifications. Are you using a bud additive, liquid potash or both?

well IMO if your 6 weeks into flowering .. its a bit late not 2 late

but kind of ....

 

I hold off on nutrients in the latter part of flowering simply for

flavor ..... the last thing you want to do is add nutrients ..

if you decide do give them a shot of fert .. go mild ..

 

I mean after all ..you don't want harsh , buds do you ..

Um i dont know what a potash is can someone explain it for me?

 

i think it is just a bud additive? i have been mixing about 10mls into the watering can and just hand-watering. The plant looks bloody healthy tho, so must be doin something right

 

I have been reading up on how to tell when the buds are ready and its when 70% of the hairs are brown? or when the trichomes have gone amber? Well, all the hairs on the buds are all white. The buds themselves are a few centimeters long and about a centimeter or two wide. Can anyone give me an idea of how much longer they will take? Iam trying to figure out when to stop the nutes.

 

Thanks

Potash provides additional phosphorus, which promotes denser and larger buds, you can get it in liquid form from the hydro shop.

In addition to your flowering nutrients and bloom booster.

Use good quality products too, they cost a little more but they pay for themselves manyfold at harvest time, and use only as the manufacturer recommends.
