Can I already give Advanced Nutrients Overdrive? They say to give Overdrive in last 2-3 weeks of flowering. Now in week 5 of flowering, but seems maybe a bit longer. Around how long left? For me it is difficult to time this :) And ofcourse also want to flush before.

Looks like you’ve got around 3–4 weeks left, You can start Overdrive in about a week, once you see the buds stop stacking and start swelling more. For now keep your bloom base + boosters going, then switch to Overdrive for the final push. Remember to flush for the last 10–14 days before harvest

Yes I would give it now, just be careful on the dosage, maybe not a full recommended dose

I have used this, some times I see a boost sometimes nothing much.. Although you still have to remeber that boost might of taken place without this addition but who knows unless you only try on 1 plant which I might test on this run myself now saying that.. . Like I said I do use it after the promises An give, there will be more in the product be it molasses or a ratio of auxins/giberellins but that's me guessing and hoping there's more to it.. Good luck.

just for reference.. i give mostly the same of everything except nitrogen from seed to harvest and rarely hve many symptoms in my canopy. My yields are what anyone should expect in a loosely controlled climate with ambient CO2. If they make big promises, it's probably advertising lies. Still might be a useful products but roots won't grow 30% more or you won't turn a low yielding pheno into donkey dick colas etc... just doesn't happen.

"Plants continue packing on bud weight late in the game, resulting in heavy flowers Creates conditions to provide an unexpected surge of energy for sustaining peak performance through your entire run Robust nutrition optimizes plant life expectancy" Then goes on to talk about packing on a bunch of weight the last 2 weeks, as if the fertilizer you use makes much of a difference, lol. bunch of nonsense. It's a 1-5-4 ferttilizer. Use it anytime to balance out what you are providing to the plant if you need more P or K. Although the target may shift slightly from vege to flower phase, maintaining a consistent level of nuterients around the roots is the goal - at concnetrations that allow everything to be available without direct competition etc... i.e. concentration and ratio is important of each primary and seconday nutrient. This is super easy for soilless/hydro but more complicated for soil contexts. Take notes. Adjust. Improve each grow cycle.

Maybe it worked for others, never noticed anything with my own experience.

Of all advanced nutrients products, overdrive is probably the most misleading and useless I found. It's just a 1-5-4 , with lots of magnesium, acting like you are going to have a 2nd wind and suddenly pack on a 2nd wave of buds. Just doesn't happen, Magnesium phosphate, potassium nitrate, and potassium phosphate, plus non-plant food ingredients like ascorbic acid. I could buy a 1 pound bag of each of those and still have money left over for the price that they charge for a tiny bottle. "OH buts it's packed with enzymes Yada Yada," Yeah and 1 tsp of spirulina has 10x the amount, hell throw in a queen Anne carrot 🥕 🙄.Honesty it's potatoe, potato. Throw it in now, not going to make much a difference.

She looks to be further along then week 5. Under my grow conditions my plants take 9-12 weeks of flower. You need to keep an eye on the trichomes. Your pistils are about 70% turned, at around 90% my plants take another one to two weeks for the trichomes to be mostly cloudy with a possible amber here and there. Good luck. Get a jewelers loop (30x, 60x) or another magnifier if you don't have one.
