first grow almost books and ive learned a decent amount along the way my plants are abou 2 1/2 weeks into flower and was wondering if there was anything i could possibly use to help my plants focus on developing more flowers along with trichome production or am i expecting a bit too much for only the second week of flowering? they are gorilla

She's doing fine for early flower. I would not make a feed recommendation without knowing what you already have going on and seeing pic of whole plant. Keep up good work!
thanks brother! well i started off on the fox farms tiger bloom as well as the big bloom, feeding them once a week a little lower than the recommended dose not to over due to too badly, besides that just from the soil recipe i followed from a friend. i have given them sea weed and kelp extract along with some compost tea here n there.

What are you feeding your plants already? I use fox farm nutrients, Epsom salts and I use grandmas molasses weeks 2-6 in flower to help feed the microbes in the soil so your roots will take in your nutrients better resulting in bigger and better yields. Some use it some don't! 2 of my 4 plant so are gettin for some Big Bud just to experiment a with

so far just the fox farm trio along with some kelp n sea weed extract and some compost tea, i figured most of the grow was doing fine due to how fine my soil mix was , consists of fox farms ocean forest, worm castings volcanic perlite as well as some dr earths flower girl then i help it activate by just soaking it with compost tea

Your 2 weeks into flower and it looks amazing, im a first time grower as well using only fox farm soil and fox farm nutrients trio as well, some Epsom salts and molasses and big bud too. I'm like 4 weeks into flower and you seem further along then I am! Ill show you some pictures of my grow from early stages to now.

Molasses mostly just feeds your bacteria, wont see a huge increase in yield but the smells and flavors were always better in my experiences. I personally wouldnt change anything this run but would stop using FF Trio after youre out and just switch over to dry amendments in the soil and teas since youre already doing it

definately! so your sayin cut nutes all around n just stick with the microbes in the soil basically as well as compost tea sea wed extract n molases
First time grower and I'm using the molasses on 2 of my 4 plants so I will see results at the end if I notice any. I have acouple friends that grow and they have always used molasses (unsulphored) and they grow good quality bud
this is my largest one but for some reason the smaller one has surpassed it in bushiness no idea why but its definately packing on weight faster than this one

No, I would continue to use your nutrients, at least keep using tiger bloom. I just add in molasses durring weeks 2-6 in flower!

No, im saying instead of feeding with fox farm, get more dr earth products. bat guanos, bone meal, blood meal etc and just add it to the soil.

That gives a basic rundown of products and gives a recipe for building an entire soil from scratch to give you an idea.

I've used fox farm soil and it works perfect for me, I've never tried making my own or adding stuff cause I've been doing perfect with the soil I just buy from the store.

yeah i do like the ocean forest as well as the roots organic with coco coir
the article you sent was pretty helpful i think next grow ill incorporate the some roots organic with some worm castings as well as throwing in the essential microbes needed for the plants full life cycle along with adding molases as well as sea weed n kelp extract to their watering.
