Does anyone else put more stock into having more K than P while in flower? It seems all of the flowering nutes are high in P. so I know there's a reason but I like to experiment a lot and a few grows ago I tried different homemade soil types with the same strain. Started to mess with the PH after 2 weeks in. I also managed the PH through out the grow as well. The soil high in N with keeping the PH at 7-8, grew real leafy, dark green, & longer skinnier buds. The soil with high N & P with a ph of 6-8 pretty much the same, just more budding. Now the soil with high K and keeping the PH at 4-6 grew fat buds with little leaf matter. Also with trying to only limit the uptake to K plant she seemed to smell and taste better too. Even though the K plant started yellowing or turning to fall colors real early like at 4 weeks, the buds just kept swelling up. They were unaffected by the minimal uptake of the other nutes only the leaves were. Don't know where I'm going with this really,lol just trying to start a conversation I guess. This is how I've been doing it ever since though, anyone else?
That's what makes growing great and a learning expirence, because of the many ways to go about it. When you know how the people on the boards are growing, you can use that as a guide to judge their advice too. Like me, I hate lollipopping, but only because of the way that I grow. My plants need every leaf they have to suck nutrients from to keep going. But the fella who lollipops with a good feeding program can whip my buds because he has his own style down. So if we answer someones post with different answers we will both be kinda right, you know? Just don't want it to seem that I'm saying ''high K is the only way to go''. Damn, what the hell is in Adderall?lol
