Weird strain... Should I harvest ?

I don't advocate flushing normally, but I would in this case, if you want to try to get rid of some of that.

Flush it with bloom nutes til about 30% runoff. That's about the best chance you have right now. You still have a while because that N stunted your bud maturity. Your yield is still going to suck, but at least it'll be smokeable. Just my opinion.

For what it's worth, don't feel bad. I learned the hard way too, a couple times.
By N you mean Nitrogen ? Or nutes ?

But ya I realize I screwed up somewhere along the lines. This is my first go in my new grow room and I've been trying to arrange it in a manner that simplifies the process however that caused majority of my issues lol grow & learn.

I will take your advice. Thanks.

Nitrogen was too much. Best practice (my opinion), is to stop feeding nitrogen by the 3rd week. As in, don't feed N the 3rd week.

When the leaves start to pale out, they are very dark, you'll know the nitrogen is out of your medium and the plant is using stored nitrogen... Which is what you want.

Other than that, you did pretty good in my opinion. Good luck.

But how do I stop using N ? I just add my bloom mix w/ calmag and water.

When it looks ready youll probably want to cut your looses and choop.

No way f'up plants finish well or normally so to find an exact point to harvest is not easy.

I think you had a few problems none of them a singular N problem and that seems only common with old info thesedays as NPK on most a+b is still a healthy does of nitro.

Just go with your instincts and make sure thecnext plant is better :-)

You like it when all your leaves turn yellow and fall off before your buds are ripe?
They don't. What would give you that idea?

Most bloom fertilizers still contain N, and if they don't, the cal mag does. That's enough to keep it going.

I don't like bud that tastes harsh from excess N, do you?
