Start of 4th week, and some small pistils showing in both autos - should I feed veg nutes for now, and change to flowering nutes next week, or a mixture of them some how?
Keep it with the veg nutrients during the 1st week of stretch , then during the second of stretch you can do half grow half flo and after you can go with full flowering strenght. But it seems that ruderalis needs more N during the flo than classic strains so you can add a little extra N everythime you think it is necessary but not too much to avoid any excess
I’d continue giving veg nutes at full strength this week and slowly taper them off over the next 2-3 weeks by adjusting your nutes towards the flowering/bloom nutes. I use ff but I use a mixture of the two during the stretch.
While they’re stretching they’re needing veg nutes and at the same time they’re opening up flowering sites... so they need both kinds of nutrients. As the flowering stretch begins to fade or slow down and the blooms begin to fill in, that’s when you want to push the bloom nutes harder.
Hi @Fleetwood yes you can continue to give nitro but you have to decrease the dosage as the flowering develops, during flowering they consume little amount of nitrogen but it has to come from the vegetative well supplied with nitrogen. I plant in substrate and usually give nitro until the sixth week of life. good luck mate 👍
