How much weight do they put on the last 3 weeks of flower

[anberlinaddict]

I am 2 days into week 6. Im debating if I should go buy over-drive tomorrow and start using it. Or just let them go...

Im also wondering how much more fat the buds will get over the next 3 weeks.

they explode near the end

like how far towards the end? Last 3 weeks.. last 2 weeks last 1 week?

 

[anberlinaddict]

Last 2 weeks in my experience, would depend on the plant though.

 

[purple voodoo#5]

i would say the last two weeks they swell up the most

Some strains differ. Some will put it on midway through all the way to the end. Some in last 2 weeks. It also depends on what and how you feed your plants. I use soil and have been working with a white widow strain for almost a year now. Its a 10-11 week strain and the last 3 weeks I dont use any nutes because I want the plant to obsorb any and all chemicals I previously gave it. Therefore mine dont swell TOO MUCH in the last few weeks because they just get water. If I were still pumping phosphorous into them instead of feeding straight water they may plump up a bit more. But I dont know about anyone else I dont like chems in my herb or harsh herb. GROW MY OWN SMOKE MY OWN UNLESS I KNOW WHO GREW IT

well I think my problem with my weight is that I was ONLY feeding like 1/2 strength of BIGBLOOM which is not enough, and i didnt realize that until like a week ago.. so I JUST started using tigerbloom, but I gave a flush last night due to me using wrong ph for the entire grow cuz i was to lazy to check it. Im 2 days into week 6, im growing strawberry cough they are a 9 week plant.

So in a few days when I feed again, im going to start the nutes at 1/2 strength. So I guess it will get 2 doses of tigerbloom/bigbloom.

Do you guys think I should go buy some Over-Drive I hear that makes it swell pretty niceley. Or should I just stick with what I got til the end? Would it make THAT much of a difference?

Hmm i was thinking about using overdrive for the last 3 weeks of flowering, then flush for 1 week.

If your gunna go with advanced nutes go with bud candy or big bud. They would do you more justice as far as flower production. You need to hit them with a good amount of phosphorous. Go more than half strenght. The plants SHOULD BE able to take it by week 6 of flower. Also if your not already, go buy molases at your local grocery store. Its cheap and a great source of potasium. But more importantly hit them with a strong dose of phosphorous. Even MOAB would work and its like 15 bucks. But advanced nutrients works well. I use bud candy (oh shit you can only use bud candy week 1-6 so your screwed on that product) Check out BIG BUD though it has more to do with bigger flower production if thats what your looking for. Also be patient, the buds will come

I thought tigerbloom was equalivant to bigbud?

I thought over-drive was used the last 2-3 weeks to make your buds swell up even more. Do you think I should go 3/4 strength on my nutes?

ps: ive been using 1 tablespoon mollasses for a while now

 

[chronichaze]

You might want to up the nutes depending on how strong the nutes are. Gradually add more bloom for ever feeding. Even some molasses can help

any pics of that Strawberry ? im about 5 weeks into my cough and shes a beautyyyy....completed covered in resin even the fan leaves...unbelievable....

 

[superdave5]

hahaha good job on the molases and Ive never used tiger bloom or any of it. I only use Advanced nutes as additives so I dont know too much about overdrive. BUT... as far as plants go regardless of what product, phosphorous is mandatory for flower production. BUT you gotta find the good stuff and Advanced Nutes has there stuff down. So whether it be overdrive or big bud I dont think you can go wrong. As far as going 3/4 strength I def. would AS LONG AS your plants are healthy. If they are showing nute burn then no, or if they were stressed from the ph thing than I would stick to half strength. But I believe you said you flushed so in that case if your plants are lookin strong yes go 3/4 strenght. Im on week 2 of flower and Im already at 3/4 strength but my White Widow is taking every drop of it.

 

[superdave5]

Every strain is different and Ive never grown the strawberry but your the only one that could answer whether they can take it or not. Can you post a few pics, Ill tell you if they can take more.

Next grow, buy some bud blood and hit em the first 2 weeks of flower. You will see way fast flower production in the beginning. I use botanicare as a base nutrient. But I use bud blood and bud candy from advanced nutes as additives as well as molases and few other secret recipes.

 

[chronichaze]

I use General Hydroponics Flora brand and also a feeding schedule I found on google and my plants are looking beautiful at 4 weeks flowering. Pretty good for my first grow!

 

[superdave5]

Heres my WW from the last grow

 

[superdave5]

botanicare CNS17
botanicare hydroplex
Bud Blood
Bud Candy
Molases
GH-floralicious plus

thats what was used for my grow. Really like what the A.N did for the crop though. There products work well! I was happy

Heres some pics from a few days ago....

I have 3 weeks and a few days left until i reach 9 weeks. (suppose to finish in 9 weeks) we shall see.

If I can get 1 ounce per plant I will be happy with this grow.

They are exactly 38 days since i switched to 12/12.


do they look like they are in week 6? the big one's cola hairs are residing already... not sure if its ready.. its hard to look on that with my microscope.
