You would keep the plant healthier and get bigger buds off it

Yes it is, feed them regular veg nutes every 3rd feeding, keep the plant green and healthy and get a bigger harvest, there are a lot of growers here that grow this way because they understand a bit of botany

Forget what you heard about nitrogen and phosphorous in flowering, read this, it's all you have to know about nutes in flowering:

I wonder where that no nitrogen in flowering myth came from, it makes absolutely no sense.

the plant will get a nitrogen toxicity the leaves will go a very dark green and growth will slow just a lil bit

If you don't enough nitrogen in the plants diet during flowering it gets it from the fan leaves. Since they carry water up and down the plant it is best to keep them as long as possible. I have a plant that is ready to flush and harvest and still has all green fan leaves.

Its good to give your plant "some" nitrogen, but dont go overboard.
Too much nitrogen will make your buds small.
Plain fact.

also though products like dr horby big bud contains no nitrogen at all. i looked up a bunch of those advanced nutrients products and they have readings like 0-15-7, no nitrogen at all. whats that about then?

Best is to learn to read your plants and give em what they need

Snake oils and rocket fuels based on the myths feeding off the unsuspecting new growers with high priced nonsense
folks have been growing PLANTS for thousands of years based on simple botany, why would MJ be any different

Looks like them companies believe in high Phosphorous levels instead of the nitrogen.
Personally, I never thought adding nitrogen in flowering did much, except for making the leaves deep green.
I believe more in Phosphorous.
Ive grown buds both ways, not much difference, except the much greener plants tasted a bit funny.
But after a cure, it all tasted the same.

I'm using those Advanced Nutrients 3 part system, been just going by the back of the bottle and using a 1:1:1 ratio of all three bottles. Should I be using less or more of one of them?
Grow is 2-1-6, Bloom is 0-5-4, and Micro is 5-0-1.
So 7-6-10 I suppose?
I'm in flowering if I didnt mention that, thanks
