as far as I can deduce I think there are many stages of flowering that need nutrient changes that you don't approximate using days, but by observing the buds. does anybody else see it this way maybe a more experienced person and have some advice about this strategy?
at the changing of the lights to flowering drier conditions should be created with slightly higher nutrient contents, but not much.
upon the popping of pistils boosting the P and K content is a good idea but in the case of dying leaves more N needs to be added and carbos or at least plant tonics are completely necessary.
when the calyxes are beginning to pop out and buds are building, more P needs to be added to the previous level. after a week or two of bud bulking lightening up on the general nutrient load and increasing the levels of carbs in the solution causes an increase in resin production and assist in the plant's consumption of its remaining resources.
for the ripening phase a good strong organic solution consisting of no chemical N P or K should be used before the pre-harvest flush. this would be something like soluble kelp and molasses with vitamins and amino acids.
any1 have something to add or comment on this breakdown? this is what i will aim for in my upcoming flowering plants and finishing out my current ones. right now my pineapple is bulking and needs molasses. my blueberry has very tiny calyxes popping out and is beginning to bulk and resinate. the blueberry needs a pk boost over the pineapple at this point but also a lighter nutrient load because of the genetics.
