After reading all these hater posts!!!!! and everyone telling you that you "over did it" well maybe yes or no. The only way to know what your girls need is by knowing your girls. The mirage of items you purchased work well when needed. Flush flush flush and every third feeding water.
You have to grow your girls and read what they need!!!! you might have some weak clones (harbourside). Seeds grow better and stronger. can take more nutes before locking out!!! i am a hydro grower, soil is a mystery to me. good luck and stick to one strain that fits your nute program. Find one that likes you and your methods.

Use your base nutes for sure, get rid of that overpriced soil that can cause imperfections in your pH and your ppm, use bud ignitor, big bud, and overdrive. Bud ignitor is used 1st and 2nd week of flower, big bud is used weeks 3-4 of flower, overdrive is used weeks 5-6 of flower. That's all you need. You're feeding your plant too much. Remember that water and Light are the most important part. Also make sure you take care of it, cleaning the tent and using your best detail oriented skills. Keep a journal, track pH constantly. Ppm should be a big concern, if you don't have the tools to measure ppm, use purified water with 2ppm. That way you know your nutrients won't cause too much of a ppm disfuntion. Follow directions and stay away from the nutes that companies SELL with reviews and bottle graphics. They work good, not going to lie, but I know you can make nutes if you tried. If THEY can do it so can you. Go to your local grow shop and ask around for good n-p-k ingredients. Also look into teas. Plants love them and you can make them with ease. Never tried them, but ive researchedbthe hell out ofbthem and will try it my next grow. Google a lot of information you need. It doesn't make you any less of a grower. Google is equivalent to your local library growing books. Don't listen to people who say nutes are bad. They can be to a point, but since you already have them, use them. They won't kill your plant. So use base nutes, bud ignitor, big bud, overdrive. Look into floralicious plus. Its a good super concentrated additive used the whole entire cycle. ( not including flush ) Be patient and make sure you don't lose patience during drying and curing. Share your grow and ALWAYS ask for help.

The Flower phase has different stages and if you want huge cola's you need to feed it the right nutes at the right stages or you can do what most people do and that is to feed it the same base nutes and the same additives throughout the hole cycle.

Keep in mind, with the Og strain it can take in more ppm then most plants.

I ran bud ignitor many time and I would use 1 to 3 weeks during the flowering stretch phase. Use Bud ignitor, A+B and big bud with bud candy and half strength on bud factor X(bud factor X starts tricking the plant of heat stress). Bud factor X allows your plant to get ready to produce insane amount of terpenes for the 2nd flowering stage, which is the budding phase.You'll know it is working when the buds look like it has been forming for 6 weeks but we're still in week 3.

Next is the bud forming phase, in weeks 4 to 6 I would use Bud candy, Big Bud, budfactor x, resinator and for base nutrient I would be careful. If your leaf is really dark green at this point there is too much nitrogen and you may get leafy buds or fluffy buds( assuming your temperature is okay). If you have really dark green leaf, I'd skip the base nutrients for 2 weeks and this forces the plant to use the nitrogen in the leaf. If the color of the leaf is normal green then add the base nutrients. Keep this in mind, during weeks 5 and 6 your bud calyx will start to swell rapidly and if you have bud hardener( like the rock) or overdrive you would add this to your nutrient solution. And also, for soil medium that is 5 gallon, I wouldn't suggest going over 700 ppm. If you want to use all those nutes you may have to max out at 1000pm, then use plain water in between the feeding schedule.

Last 2 weeks, You can continue to add more bud candy but don't forget to do at least 1 week of flush or do straight 2 week flush its up to you.

Sadly, from my experience it is not wise to mix organic soil with synthetic nutrients. You may create cannabis problems that is hard to fix, such as, insane random stretches or the flowers will reveg itself in a 12/12 cycle. The reason for this is synthetic nutrients will kill beneficial bacteria in the soil and that dead bacteria will create toxic problems in the root zone. If you experience this problem, I would recommend using some sort of enzyme that can break down dead matter and convert it to food source for the roots.

Also, I would recommend using snow storm ultra instead of bud factor X. Because bud factor X is too pricey, and snow storm ultra does the same thing as bud factor X. However, I personally think bud factor X creates more terpenes then snow storm ultra but you won't know the difference unless you are a biology freak like me with an expensive microscopic system.

AN is good nutrients. I don't use them personally, but I have in the past. They work well, just not my cup of tea. Ive found other nutrients I like better (botanicare). I definitely don't like all-in-one nutrients where they just have one bottle thats suppose to do everything. I have tried them before and am not a fan. Imo there is no way you can get everything into one bottle. Unless you amend your soil so the nutrients are there and you only have to add a little bit of nutes during flower. Even then I still wouldn't use an all purpose but they might work ok for some people who are happy with their results. I personally have not been happy with results from those type of fertilizers. I would use AN over those types if I had the option.
