Please help with identifying week of flowering and thanks.

Good evening, any idea on what week , I think maybe 4 to early 5 but really just guessing from my reading.

If this is the case then should I be transitioning to higher K right now. Plan to harvest hopefully in mid October if possible. Stays hot in the fall.

One last question. Any opinions on Mother Earth brand liquid nutes. Bought 2-4-4 today but not opened yet. Additionally, any suggestions on using bloom boosters and if so any recommendations on whose to buy.

I would say 4 weeks.

 

[mysticepipedon]

I was thinking 2-3 weeks.

Wow, that’s what I thought. So transition to more K in nutes?

So, that early stage. Kinda like that, thinking of whats in store.

There probably isn't any harm in starting to use your 2-4-4.

I'm guessing week 3...not week 4 yet

Should that be strength or ratio? Such as 2-4-4 converted to a strength of 10-20-20 or 20-40-40? Along that topic. How strong is too strong for flowering plants in the soil?

I'm guessing 3 or 4 weeks. No more no less ;)

Theres way too Much 'N" in that stuff. I would find a better suited flowering nutrient $0.02.

By the second half of flowering I pull back to almost zero nitrogen. Last couple weeks zero, nada none. Your weed will taste much better and much smoother without it. As importantly the plants dont require much at all by then.

Gotcha, have seen like jacks booster at 10-30-20 and thought that is what you meant.

What about the others? How high would you run you p and k? Working N down to a 1-3-2 ratio. But what about amounts. Is 3-20-10 or 15 too strong. Using cottonseed meal, bone meal, and potash as sources with cal mag supplement and roots organic microbe charge. Any suggested levels of nutes. I have been doing about 0-30-20 and ready to go to 2-30-25. Thoughts?

If these are liquid nutes, I assume there are directions on the side of the bottle, telling you how many tsp/gal or ml/l to mix in to water. If you've never used it before, start with a half dose.

Heres how my nutrient base looks. with silica and cal/mag supplement. Pretty simple and easy, the bat quano contains hardly any nitrogen. Strictly using this for flowering purposes. Ill report progress back in two weeks. starting with an application tomorrow morning.
