Weeks 6-8 photoperiod flower when buds fatten?

Weeks 6-8 of flowering is when buds start fattening up correct? That’s why I’m using overdrive this last two weeks of nutrients and then doing a 2 week flush where buds will mature more? I plan to check trichomes week 8 at the end.

Week 14

Week 6-8 is a good "average" but it will still be largely based off strain and conditions. Overdrive is a finishing product that's intended to increase your terps/essential oils, Advanced Nutrients bulking enhancer is a product called "Big Bud". I've never used Advanced Nutrients so I can't say how effective it is. I do use a similar product from General Hydroponics called KoolBloom and I like the results. Two weeks is a bit much for your flush in my opinion. I do 1 week in soil, 4 days in coco or 24 hours in hydro. You don't wanna start it too early or you could miss out on some bulking.

I’m sure she could piss & mix with water but I don’t think that’s the question LOL plus that’s a lot of nitrogen, which I doubt she wants in flower. Also, what’s wrong with flushing in the sense of just giving plain water at the end to get rid of buildup? Or what’s wrong with an actual flush- flush when you’ve got it all fucked up and trying to correct a ph issue or something? Anyway- what she asked was fine, other than basically not checking trichomes until end of week 8/9 start. That’s also just my opinion. No need to attack someone else’s grow style or mock them just because it’s not same as yours. Chillax and go smoke a joint or some

Epsom salts, or magnesium sulphate use electrolysis, electricity will break down the molecules into MgHP04 and MgS04.

So does urine and a carrot do all of that too.

For many growers, "Magnesium and potassium with a dash of lemon juice". However, if you are the type of grower who seeks the best, you might want to consider adding Potassium. Potassium is a late-stage bloom fertilizer. It is designed to be used in the final 2 to 3 weeks of your grow. This final ripening phase fertilizer provides plant food that are critical for bud development. *It does this by providing a unique ratio of fertilizers designed for ripening your buds and reinvigorating growth just as things start to slow down*. This translate into amplified growth and heavier buds! nutrients also enhances the smell, flavor and color of your buds. In turn, you should see a much heavier harvest and dense beautiful buds!

For many growers, a standard bloom fertilizer like Advanced Nutrients Bloom is all you need. However, if you are the type of grower who seeks the best, you might want to consider adding Overdrive.

, Overdrive, here is the thing, ingredients, they say it's proprietary so legally they do not have to disclose ingredients, if they did you would quickly realize you are being sold something worth pennies on the dollar as all they are selling is as follows, Magnesium in the form of, MgHP04 and MgS04, and potassium KH2P04. Also has amino acids and a squirt of citric acid, THAT IS IT! The only thing that increases a minerals uptake from one source to another is how small it is broken down on an atomic level, what advanced nutrients are trying to sell is the belief that because they use precise secret specific ratios of minerals that in turn will "SPIKE" levels of specific minerals which send the plant into a 2nd drive of flower, I have read literature that on this and it is absolutely not true, the ratio of minerals within reason has absolutely no effect on growth so long as there is "enough" of what is needed. 20 amino acids form everything, plants can produce all 20 by themselves but it is an high-energy process within the plant that can use up a lot of valuable resources and time to create their own. Humans can only create 11 aminos themselves the other 9 must be derived from food sources Leucine Isoleucine Histidine Lysine methionine Phenylalanine Threonine Tryptophan Valine Human body only absorbs 5-15% of the minerals and nutrient we eat, the rest is disposed in the urea of urine, uring is 95% water and 5% urea, let me show you what they do, they like to use word salads when in reality all they are doing is listing the effects of the mineral itself and/or the enzymes or whatever the effects of the ingredients are then reciting them back as magical effects that will only happen if you pay 49.99 for something that costs pennies. You would be better off throwing a carrot and a radish in a compost tea for all the amino you ever need, piss in a bottle (morning piss is best) dilute 10 parts water 1 part urine, bobs your uncle, smell goes away after a few hours. Best nitrogen fertilizer you will ever find btw. Big pharma derives fertilizer as a by-product of crude oil or fossil fools I like to call it. Never miss a chance to rob you blind. Tis the way of the world. It's all funny till you try it on a plant that is in need of nitrogen. Arve a nice day.

Yeah. Sounds like a plan, except you might want to check the trichomes before the end of week 8. Just in case. Dunno what your preference on amber etc is. Won’t hurt to look either way. Hope your harvest is massive. Good luck
