When do you stop giving nutrients?
Mosherd7started grow question 4 years ago
Pictures taken 3 weeks into flowering. Its 3.5 weeks now. Started as pretty basic potting soil, most of the nutrients im sure are gone.
When do you switch to just pH corrected water to feed? Thinking 1 more week for my yellowing plants, and less for my very green one. Thoughts?

Personally, I don't really stop feeding my plants. But the general rule of thumb is around 2 weeks before you plan to harvest. Since you're at W3 now, I'd say around W6,7, or 8 (depending on your strains flower time) is when you'd need to consider stopping feeding

Hey
So outdoor growing can be a bit harder to call. For me, in the northern hemisphere most strains are ready between September-Oct and i stop feeding them in their harvest month.
If your pics are 3 weeks old and you're already having good pistil coloring and shriveling...I'd peek at the trichomes but ideally start removing any nutrients now and finish out with plain water. I think that'd be safe for both the plants since were close to mid October.
Happy harvesting. ✌️

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

Adding P20 and K20 to a 8-0-0 and 0-6-12 A BI'm feeding Bionova Coco Forte A+B which is 8-0-0 and 0-6-12.
I'm afraid my buds will be airy due to low P and K dosages. Do you think this will be the case?
I was thinking of adding Bionova P20 and K20 to the schedule as she enters flower. Too much or should I go for it?Week 5

Will nutes degrade if left in the sun for a week?Nutes- If I mix up a gallon batch (fox farm grow big and big bloom) but only use half of that gallon, can I save the rest for the next feeding, which might be a week later? Also, is it ok if the jug is left outside where it will get sun, or will this ruin the nutrients?

PPMs are running high during germinationMy PPMs are reading 600 in the DWC reservoir, which seems high. Tap water reads 380 normally. Doing a top feed system so the roots will reach the top feed tube in about 2 days if they germinate. Should I do a complete res change or just top up with pH'd RO/distilled water?Week 1

Are these pH pens reliable?This pH pen sucks ass! I've purchased calibration liquid at 7.0 and have done calibration for both pens, and prepared another 4.0 solution. one reads 3,8 the other one reads 4,3.
My range is already 5.5 - 6.1 = 0.6. How am I supposed to deal with this?😡

Anyone know about biobizz TopMax? (Just read this)Once the solution is made, do not add pH up/down to correct the pH. Firstly, peat based mixes are buffered for pH so this is not necessary. Secondly, the acid will instantly begin to break down the organic matter in the solution, something that you want to happen naturally in theFeeding. Chemical composition
