There is a mountain of unsold weed in everything state that produces it. Yield shouldn't be a goal. Potassium is traditionally known as the quality mineral.But if you still want to use more NPK, consider that adding more K does not increase yield according to science.
I have roots organic. Really just a small amount work?. will of course follow instructions. Also is it ok to mix my liquid nutes with the terp tea?If your plants are already on a feed schedule and growing well, as they do appear to be ... I wouldn't change a whole lot. You could add beneficial microbes though. Something like Roots Organic Microbe Charge or "Real Growers Recharge" with your current flower nutrients is usually sufficient. There's a lot of "boosts" products out there being sold that aren't really necessary. If you're already using a good feeding program, you probably already have enough P and K going in. The microbes will help your plants better utilize it. I brew mine as a tea. My plants really seem to love it!
care to elaborate and explain what you mean by this comment? To me its meaningless. Because in flower these are what you want. buds dont fatten up out of thin air.But if you still want to use more NPK, consider that adding more K does not increase yield according to science.

What he means is frequently less is more with cannabis. If you're already using a 2 or 3 part nutrient program, you don't need to boost either P or K with another product. Yes, these elements are needed ... but in balance. If the ratios get too out of balance, you'll have other issues because the over-abundance of one element is prohibiting the uptake of another. Over-fertilization is about as common as over-watering with an inexperienced grower.care to elaborate and explain what you mean by this comment? To me its meaningless.

@radrichie61 I just saw this. Sorry for the late response.I have roots organic. Really just a small amount work?. will of course follow instructions. Also is it ok to mix my liquid nutes with the terp tea?
He said that he's a beginner, so would you recommend that he get a move-on with Light Deprivation to finish up?

I'm not sure. It's not that light deprivation is a bad idea. It's late in the season so you wouldn't gain much time. Light deprivation systems are best used to start flowering earlier so they finish before fall. They can also be costly depending on what kind a person chooses. (manual vs automated) I have lights and a timer in my greenhouse to extend light hours when the days are short (spring) but I don't use light deprivation.He said that he's a beginner, so would you recommend that he get a move-on with Light Deprivation to finish up?

Hey thanks Grampa, I appreciate you always chiming in. It makes me feel confident in your advice. So I have a question now, what’s new, should I defoliate these plants any? Here’s a couple pics of the whole bed and a couple close-ups. Thanks and happy Labor Day.I'm not sure. It's not that light deprivation is a bad idea.

For a northern grower, the best thing to do is choose a strain that will finish easily within the grow season for your area.
Again, defoliation is a heavily debated topic. I can tell you what I do. It works for me very well both indoors and out. I'm not sure where your plants are at and the kind of climate you're in but here in Michigan Autumn has pulled into the driveway and is about to start knocking on the door. We can expect cooler night week after week leading up to our first frost which will likely fall sometime around the first week of October. Maybe a little before or a little after. Michigan has water on 3 sides so fall brings a lot of cloudy days and a lot more rain. So combined with cooler night time temps and a lot more humidity, it becomes a challenge to get your outdoor plants to finish. The plants must have leaves to finish maturing, but they also must be thinned out enough so they have good airflow and can breathe. If the weather is cold and wet, you'll need to remove more green in the middle of the plant. If you're in an area where days are still warm and anywhere between dry and arrid, you can leave more green on the plant.Hey thanks Grampa, I appreciate you always chiming in.

Looks like these plants started to flower and went back into veg maybe, bud structure looks off, what strain is it? But yeah if you want to add Phosphorous and you haven't already amended the soil with a phosphorous source, don't waste your money on bloom boosters and stuff like Botanicare pro. Just use Miracle Grow. if you want a cheap effective solution to beef up the buds. Many times Ive used bloom boosters and other expensive additives and products that seem to have created more problems for me more times then not. I amend my soil with guano and crabmeal personally. (But when it comes inoculating don't cheap out on a solid inoculation product.) When in doubt leave out, best fertilizer is the foot steps of the farmer.Good evening, hey I have a question. As a beginner I think I am around week four of flower. Does anyone have any opinion on whether the use of bloom boosters is worth it, and if so, recommended for novices? I like to think I am an advanced beginner maybe.
If you are pro boosters, do you make your own or buy. I’m thinking about combining very low numbers of cottonseed meal with a nitrogen content about two, and utilizing bonemeal at a phosphorus level of about 30 or 40, and potassium about 20 during this part of flower stage. Any thoughts on that? Oh, using potash for K but I thought I remember reading it wasn’t a great source of K. Any suggestions on a quality source for mixing into solution. I am mixing several product from a company called high-yield such as cottonseed meal, bonemeal, super phosphate, and potash.
Additionally I added roots organic microbe charge and a little bit of cal mag to my solution and brewEd for 24 hours. Trying to keep my soil levels at a pH of 6.5 or so. Has not been easy or successful
Finally, do I check the pH, and I think it’s gonna be a yes, of my liquid fertilizer mix I’m applying. Why wouldn’t I?
Thanks in advance!

Light deps grow better weed. Mostly because you are controlling the light cycle I think. Where as full seasons have a tough transition into flower sometimes.I'm not sure. It's not that light deprivation is a bad idea. It's late in the season so you wouldn't gain much time. Light deprivation systems are best used to start flowering earlier so they finish before fall.
