I swear I cause the majority of my own problems-- both growing, and in my personal life. I had spoken with another grower about how water seems to pour out of my plants after I've watered them. Well, had I stopped and thought about it, I would've realized that, that is perfectly normal. It happens, especially if you are pouring (roughly) a gallon of water onto each plant...water is going to go into the saucer under the plant-- that's normal. For some reason, I had it in my mind that, that was a huge problem. Since I'm not there to time how long it takes before you see water in your saucer, I don't know if it is a problem or not. Does that make sense?
This is the problem with cannabis, even in such a modern time theres so much misinformation and so many ppl misstating information..
yes they need nutrients. Period.
In most soils there is enough nutrition for 1st 3 to 4 weeks so you can get away with ph ranged water. When the nutrition has almost depleted out of the soil you start adding nutes to the water. In soiless mediums you need nutrition basically from the start. Hope this helps.

A few years ago I met a professional photographer who shot marijuana for advertisements. They start with a perfect looking bud. Sometime bud is grown specifically for it's color. They will mess with the nutrients, temperature and other conditions to force the plant to produce the desired colors. Then add in some professional lighting and time in Photoshop turning up the colors that are currently popular. So, these days most professional photos will be more frosty or purple than occurs naturally.
Substrate, nutrition, experience, temps. All play a roll. Plus in some cases I think they grow just a few colas on a strong plant to get a big fat bud on picture. Cor morphing happens late flowering. Especially if a proper flush and fade time is given.
