I usually don't use additives but wanted to give it ago for one grow to see if it was worth it ay usually only use pk boost but see even now thats not worth it from what I've read I've got a few days left on my pk and need to buy other additives so I might just stop with them and just finish the pk and use the pk and A/B at the same strength

many growers use and like additives with excellent results. But they should be extra to enhance ratios and or microbe life. A fraction of the base nutes. NPK is considered the main elements (calcium and now silica are also) and robbing the plant of needed nitrogen and leaning toward high P products will always eventually antagonize or lock out other elements.

i do like to have higher K than N. Like in pure blend pro grow or megacrop.

I use one bottle of grow nutes. I have sitting going bad on the shelf. Cal mag plus, botanicare sweet, botanicare pure blend pro bloom soil, mega crop free bag (way too many unneeded additives in that silly crap. And an obviously low quality formulation.) ph up and down wasted big bottles now 5 years old. Oh and botanicare kind bloom. Old packs of white widow and another inoculation product.

All did nothing or hurt my results in potting soil.

I leave the vast majority and only clip those shading actual flowers. Plant food storage. You can watch them fade as the plant nears harvest.

I've done a lot of topping. Did one pretty much weekly and stripped off most leafs so it didn't look like a pot plant. Big ol round bush. Bag seed. Had a thousand very small buds.

I like big buds and I can not lie.

I would start flush now. I’m a big believer in flushing makes your smoke so much better. That’s from personal growing experience not what I read. I know there is a big controversy on flushing. But in this grow style it’s an important step. I hate the taste of nutes. I run just Remo Nature’s Candy in RO water for at least 2 weeks. My runoff ppm is well under 200 by chop. I like a nice fade and big fat buds. Trichs mostly cloudy (look like plastic) with a few clear (looks like glass) and a few amber.
Excellent grow man

Last pic doesnt look like calcium deficiency to me but the others might? Leaves are also quite dry

What do you mean by second day of flushing? Are you flooding the plant?

She is eating multiple elements mainly phosphorous from her own leaves.
