@JamaicanDream_420, Hey mate. So first of all i do follow general AN nutrients chart available at https://www.advancednutrients.com/feed-charts/pH_Perfect_Grow_Micro_Bloom-GLOBAL.pdf. Having said that the problem with this feeding chart is that it is fixed for exactly 12 weeks. And it is never like that. So what i aim for is first to figure out during the vegetative state how much water each flower actually consumes. Depends on so many things (relative humidity, flower size, soil, temperature, flower development stage, pot size...)... but not to complicate things for you, what happens in my case usually get to 1L to 1,5L liters every 3 days (FEED-0-0-FEED). For you it might take 4 or 5 days to consume that water. But you have to figure this out during the veg state. I always adapt micro, grow and bloom nutrients to the flower size (based on nutrient burns if any), i follow 2ml per the rest of the nutrients. So once i see flowers starting i go to flowering week 1 (bud ignator and everything in the NA chart for that week), i still have the same watering cycle (per 3 days). Then next week i go to flowering week 2 (NA Chart Bud ignator+big bud) and the next week to week 3 (big bud). In this period water consumption might, so you have to monitor water consumption. If the soil gets dry sooner then it did in the veg state, then you have to increase water freq, in my case from 3 days to 2. But be aware that the consumption might be lesser in a few days when it gets colder. so always check if they are drinking.
Then the next crucial nutrient change is when is see first brown pistils. I will start with overdrive NA chart (week 6 of flowering in NA charts). And i overdrive the flower, for a couple of weeks usually, until i see this flower starts to struggle (new bud development is slow, maybe they stop drinking that hard, most of the pistils are brown,...)... so when this happens flower looks mature, but trichomes are still not quite there)... so this is the point when i drop all the nutrients and apply only flawless finish with water. Water quantity is the same as it would be if i would feed them to this point. So lets say it is still 1L per 3 days and i add 2mL of flawless finish. then again i monitor water consumption, because it might happen that the freq will decrease (example: from 3 days to 4 days)... and i also monitor trichomes until they are cca 10%-20%amber) and almost 0-5% clear. so how long i use flawless finish is dependent on how fast the trichomes will turn amber to achieve 10%-20% of amber. Usually 1-2 weeks. As you apply Flawless finish you will see fan leaves yellowing (dont cut them), because your flower will start eating itself. So dont apply flawless finish too soon and dont worry if in this phase flower drinks less then it did to this point. Even 5-6 days watering is ok as long as your soil retains water. And i also ph - my water, a couple of drops to achieve cca 6.2PH. I use nutrients each time (no water only cycles), the only case i would use only water (with ph) is when i would see nutrient burns. the same is with flawless finnish each time i use it it is 2mL per period (in my case usually 3 days-5days) and 1L of water to the end. I Hope this helps! Keep growing strong flowers 💪👌👍
