How long should flowering take and should I use bloom nutrients?

PharmerAddy · Nov 8, 2015

I am new its my first time growing the girl is looking amazing. My question is because I am overseas and my wife is taking care of her for the next 2 weeks. The plant has been in the flowering cycle since October 20th and it is growing like crazy. How long do I keep it in flowering compared to how the photos look and do I have to use bloom nutrients during this phase? I am using Fox Farm Planting Mix which has Earthworm Castings and Bat Guano as a soil already is a bloom nutrient necessary? I am trying to not have it taste like nutrients.

Thanks all!

Depends on strain... Do you know your strain? Looks mostly sativa, so generally speaking you're looking at a minimum of 8 weeks total flowering. Some pure sativa may stretch double that.

Yes you do want to use your flowering nutes... Some ppl prefer a fert with no nitrogen at this phase. That'll help with harshness. You want to shift from stem and leaf production to calyx production at this point. So you want a fert with very little or no nitrogen. Also you can use organic fert concentrates, or guano teas. Organic bud taste so much better to me...

Thanks! I am unsure of the strain but your right after I am reviewing what other plants are it does look Sativa. I got the seed out of a bag I purchased I was surprised when I saw the seed for how good the bud was only seed in the bag so I went for it and turned out female. My next grow I will be purchasing from a seed bank.

I was looking at using Fox Farm Big Bloom is this good or what would you recommend?
