flower advice

[Shaggy4:20]

So I just sent my two ladies into flowering, they are three weeks in today under 324w cfl (1 125w 6400k, 1 125w 2700k, 1 42w 2700k, and 1 32w 6400k). Any advice on making sure these ladies produce the best quality buds they can under their conditions?

Just try not to over/underwater, don't over/under nute and let them do their thing.

I mean that's what you do the entire grow I was wondering if there was anything extra I could give it that would increase resin production, like I heard feeding molasses helps increase the taste and smell.

Hi Shaggy,
In my Experience Molasses, specifically back-strap molasses is more useful for feeding microbial s/beneficial bacteria and enzymes in your medium, which in turn will probable help Resin production.
I would recommend Something like foxfarm Bembe-Sweet and Dandy or simular product.
10%molasses
14%cane sugar
and other yummy stuff, It does the job for me, i use from week 5 on through final flush along with my normal nutrient schedule.

I don't know much about cfl's but to get great end product you want the optimal conditions for growth. how is your basics, Soil? Water? Ventilation? Nutrients?Temp and Humidity? adequate lighting and good genetics. I find if you try to stay as simple as possible while hitting right conditions in each of these areas and you cant go wrong.

Most important thing is figuring out how to keep the cfls as close as possible to the plants during and after stretch.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have a question though about harvesting. I know about looking at the trichomes for when to harvest, you want all milky with a few amber, I have a 30x-60x Jewelers loupe for that. My question is would it be better to harvest when the soil is dry or still wet? I feel that could effect the drying and curing process. Any thoughts?

i always wait for dry soil to harvest. not sure why but seems to help in drying/curing process
