Green_fiendstarted grow question 3 years ago
I have been feeding these girls biobizz grow 3ml per litre along with 2ml of bloom and 1ml of topmax, since the stretch has finished and they have started to flower should I lower my dosage of grow? Nutrient schedule to be updated on my next updated on Saturday,

are there any toxicity symptoms? If not, then the plant probably needs it still. despite a widely held belief that the plants all of a sudden don't require N in bloom is an unproven in any meaningful way.. like people's obstinate belief that flushing reduces mineral content in buds... ppl used to say that with striking confidence and it's totally wrong. I'd bet money this will be yet another urban myth proven false with only a modicum of reputable research. If the leaves start getting dark green and other issues related to a toxicity, that means the plant is no longer using it at the same rate and you should dial back N in you rmix... if this never happens, then it is clearly still using the N and you should still be providing it at a similar concentration/rate. N is used in cellular growth...whether stems or buds. it's part of DNA / RNA, numerous other cellular parts, hormones, et al... is there a proportional difference? maybe... but if it never shows a toxicity it is using the damn molecule, lol. it's an assumption made be a mob of people that have never taken a single biology or chemistry class. if proven through study or you see the plant reacting as discussed, then you can put a little more faith into it. in my experience, i rarely have to dial back from 120-130ppm N. Rarely, there is a strain that will want a bit less or i'll get a minor amount of clawing and dark foliage with weak stems -- all symptoms of an N-tox. "That" plant wanted a little less N and it was probably true long before bloom phase, too. What i don't have is a burnt up, quickly deteriorating, necrotic canopy of dead leaves that can't photosynthesize after just 6-7 weeks of bloom, lol. Senescence is sometimes inevitable, but what i see from "bloom" formulas as instructed by these 'marijuana-branded' fertilizer companies often leads to a fucked up plant. if it has a child-like cartoon graphic on the front, you should assume they aren't professional products, LOL... at the least it is a high correlation.

I would reference BioBizz feeding schedule for a better idea of how to feed them. https://www.biobizz.com/downloads/nutrient-schedule/ Also one other thing to note is when things are autos they need less feed. I love this link, its not 100% so adjust if needed. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/med-man-method-feeding-chart-ppm-ec.47856/ If you lacking a PH and EC pen best thing to do is feed 1/2 strength or 3/4 if its a week feed. And save up for a nice PH pen and TDS meter. They are worth while tools when using liquid nutrients. Best Of Luck!

Oh and more to your question. Yeah stop the grow focus on bloom and top max increase to match bloom ml for ml. And also the cal, check top max there might be enough in that 3% will be enough. Good luck.

Well yes, you should lower your dose this early. If you are set on giving grow and bloom at the same time. I usually keep bloom to give my autos that extra kick for pre flower but you can also give both. But just 1ml of both and increase your top max that's your micro which is very important that should be even higher or matching your grow,bloom dose, and ppm is important. Because top max isn't a full micro but both a grow and micro I'd focus or at least make sure you give top max as it's key for nute break down and avoid nute lockout. Ppm should be 4-700 for where you are at now you can go a little higher once you are using your micro. Click into it and you'll see it's your key nute pal and very important. Increase to 900 coming into wk 4 and coming into flower 9-1400 max if your plant can handle it, but get there over a few wks. And introduce some cal mag for pre-mid flower it's important for a good harvest. Plants in flower love cal and sugars. Good luck happy growing
