I have a six week strain of white widow from seedsman and some AN Overdrive I would like to use on her. Does anybody here have an idea as to how early I can start using the overdrive? I am currently doing a one plant, one light grow in a dwc bubble bucket. This is my first expedition into hydroponics and everything seems to be going exactly as planned apart from some brown spots and dieing lower leaves at the beginning of the grow. I am seven days into flower using the Lucas formula with Dutch master gold zone. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated
 
I have wondered about it finishing in six weeks, thats why i am asking about about the overdrive. I have not seen anything at all online about six week white widow, only on the seedsman website. From what i gather you are supposed to use overdrive for two weeks at the end of flowering but i can see the plant going seven, eight weeks so i am just not sure when to start with it. first time growing white widow, so not sure what to expect.

I use AN a lot. The hobbiest line.

I was 5 weeks into flower with a Northern lights strain i know will go 9 weeks at least and i ran out of Big Bud. Rather than just buy some more (i have to shut the garden down for renos for a couple months) i just started using the Overdrive, at week 5. Its pretty much the same thing with different P and K ratios. I will use up the Overdrive until the end. Now two weeks later the plants dont seem to mind at all. They are really chunking up.... right on time...
 
Cheers for the input guys. So from what you are saying there will be no harm to the plant by starting at week four even if it goes 8-9 weeks? As i said before I have never grown white widow before but she looks pretty good so far. she was topped after the fourth node and seemed to take off straight away. A week before flower she was looking bushy as hell, like a proper indica. So i took all the main branches from the bottom off and anything that wasnt going to be getting much light leaving just the top two branches and the two beneath. Since the beginning of flowering she looks like a totally different plant, stretched a good wee bit and looking way more like a sativa which makes me think she will go longer than the six weeks suggested by seedsman.

Should stop the BB at the end of 5 weeks anyway. I've used OD in a few grows and not worth it at all. AN 3-part using Lucas formula after the stretch, Rhino Skin throughout the grow at low doses, Big Bud from a week before flipping, epsom salts and extra Zn, Fe, b-complex, selenium and ascorbic acid for a boost once or twice each grow.

Got a 500ml bottle of Bud Factor X for free I'm trying out but the Bud Ignitor was a fail like the OD.

Almost 20 years with AN nutes so I've tried lots of shit with them and others.

:peace:

Not even close to Big Bud in what it's made of.

BB is 0-15 -35 NPK with 10% sulfur, 20 amino acids with ascorbic, (vit C), and citric acids.

OD is 1-5-4 with a lousy 1% Mg. Zero sulfur and S is the "secret" ingredient to get extra resin in your trichs. One of those useless supplements that the AN haters bitch about. Pot doesn't want extra P after the stretch so why feed it at the end?

The Bud Factor X has chitosan, basically crab/seafood shells that supposedly makes pot resin up more but I shall see later I guess. Got a 500ml sample bottle for free last summer so will see if that might be worth buying.

:peace:

What would you say the fast white widow strain sold by seedsman actually is then, just normal WW with a marketing shpeel?

Might have some faster flowering strain mixed in and they are cheating by using a famous name for their version of WW. Wouldn't be the first time.
