Because everyone has a different setup and needs. Quality and quantity are affected less by inaccuracies in your feed in veg, than they are during flower. Veg needs are a big variable and nutritional needs vary. My experience is with my setups, which usually have nothing to do with others. No point in covering it.
During flower it becomes much more critical, so this is where I focus.
Veg growth does not affect flower growth during bloom. So you can still have "Highest Quality" from slightly less quality veg plants. Quality is not the same as "healthy," it's simply healthy plants with a little extra padding from excess/improper nutrient feed.But you say "affected less" and we are trying to grow the highest quality. For me and mine. This is medicine.

Now, if you're eating your veg plants you may want to be finer on your veg mix. Otherwise, it doesn't make a difference, as long as the plants are healthy. :)
Thanks for informing us of your Autism, helps us understand you a little better!My wife says it's because my autism is getting in the way of my being clear. Totally understand. lol :)

Well, what I'm failing to get across is how small of a difference it takes (in flower) to destroy quality and yield, while the same small difference in veg is not noticeable to even the most seasoned grower. Probably where the disconnect is coming from. :)I hear you loud and clear. I simply think you are wrong. The best smoke will come from the best plants that were grown vigorously with no issues in a comfortable balanced stable environment. And put in flower mature, strong and healthy and with a complete nutrition profile with plenty of trace elements. Even the correct amount of root space going into flower is a factor.
They look pretty good to me! But the op does have me questioning weather or not my plants are being overfed..I hear you loud and clear. I simply think you are wrong.

Get everything in balance seed to harvest. Your product will improve exponentially. My yield and quality has tripled my third year using the same soil, lights, nutes and pots.
Can we agree to disagree now. Or are you going to tell me I don't understand because of something else. You want to excuse your mistakes. I want to persue excellence.
These are acceptable plants ready for flowering to me. I want them as close to perfect as possible.

I've been trying to get folks to appreciate just how fine a difference there is. Unfortunately, (fortunately??) most people are nowhere near as sensitive to contaminates, flavors and touch. It just doesn't register.
We'll have to agree to disagree, I know you would not notice the difference in veg.
u can see that its over fed tho. U can see the downward claw in the leaf tips. So i disagree that it looks better. But that is a great example... of what slightly over fed looks like...Here's an example with which I can support this idea.

Two plants, same strain and conditions, one got about 2/3 the amount of nutrition as the other. By looking at them one might think the plant on the left looks better, but indeed it was slightly overfed. I wouldn't have known unless I did a side by side comparison testing nutritional needs for this plant. Even though this plant on the right had a pea green look by week five, which had me worried, the end result was more resinous, more dense, burned smoother than the plant of the left, and had a greater yield
Correct. The difference in cannabinoid and terpene production, along with yield, doesn't surprise me at all.u can see that its over fed tho. U can see the downward claw in the leaf tips. So i disagree that it looks better. But that is a great example... of what slightly over fed looks like...
So Douglas, You've given us your views, but how about telling us how you feed your plants in flower? Nutrient strengths and all. I got from several post back that you run a lucas formula at 6/9 but what's your best ppm from experience?We'll have to agree to disagree, I know you would not notice the difference in veg.
I agree 100% with that. It will cause the stomatas to not intake c02 efficiently and that will slow photosynthesis...Correct. The difference in cannabinoid and terpene production, along with yield, doesn't surprise me at all.
Sure thing, what system and environmental conditions would you like them for?So Douglas, You've given us your views, but how about telling us how you feed your plants in flower? Nutrient strengths and all.
I don't run 6/9 and what type of flowering environment and hydro setup are we talking? ppm varies quite a bit, before we get down to strain and phenotype.I got from several post back that you run a lucas formula at 6/9 but what's your best ppm from experience?
