First grow—good morning!

Some run start to finish. I run from week 2 until about 3 weeks before harvest. You gonna get a lot of answers on this and I think stopping 2-3 weeks before harvest is ideal.... other may not feel that way

Any suggestions on general guidelines for how much to use?

Like with most i use generally half dose. But again I use potassium silicate for the PH characteristics. I believe 50-100ppm but I wouldn't take my word for it as I say I know silica is beneficial to the plants but I use it for PH control.

Mine or yours on your last statement? I know mine did.

Both.

I started those outside with no intension of them being anything other than yard ornaments... Rolling a joint a seed popped out... Had a few others sitting there, so I planted them.
As they grew, so did my discontent for what I was getting from the stores here. My state seriously fucked up medical (purposly) when they legalized and started collecting taxes on recreational... And since I still had equipment just sitting in storage, AND plants in pots...

And because they are expecting this to be used in a plant in flower, I’m going to start with 25% of their recommendation. Does that sound reasonable?

My motivation exactly. Recreational also legal in my state, but the LOWEST price I've seen is $42.00 per Eighth Oz.
I had to buy a tent, fan, filter, soil, bags and seeds....but they'll pay for themselves in a matter of months.

Probably a better person to ask but yes I think its always a good practice when using something new to start low and work up giving time to see the results.

$15/g, $50/eighth, $350/ oz. it’s crazy.

I may reach out to the manufacturer and talk to them since it’s off label.

Always a good plan to talk to the manufacturer.

It's like the '90's.

Ounces, in the stores, here can be had for as little as $50 or as much as $350.

My "Economics 420" spreadsheet from my little harvest:

And it’s in a jar curing, holding at 62% RH. It won’t make it a month, even if I ration. It’s way more potent than they dispensary weed the seed came from.
