The plants grow, then stretch, then mature. In Maturity they need less food, but I can tell from my Res PPM they do indeed take some food.

So you measuring the worng thing. There is no "growth" the last few weeks but there is maturity happening.

But is that food being converted into measurable weights (please don't talk about molecules), And I'm not saying to give 0 ppm, just that they don't need the npk at that point, can you measure what nutrients are being absorbed during that period?

the truth about flushing thread. I would think A brix meter would be a simple way to confirm the process.

Are we growing these plants for their sugars or the resin?

whats amazing is people are so quick to say its BS when they have no fucking idear. You might have a few years or even 10 years in and you still learn every day. I have fucking almost 40 in and i still learn everyday.

If you are quick to say bullshit then you have limited yourself with your growing exp.

and after years or working with hot water, light manipulation, temp manipulation, high and low altitude changes

There is much more out there to it then you think.

My buds always have new growth in the last weeks they are called foxtails and they are cute and add weight, not to mention more trics

That plant is too early to begin flushing, it's still growing, basically I'm saying to not add high npk nutes once you reach the harvest window.

But we have to guess right? Because you will not say, what you really mean.

Ah, I harvest with more amber than you then, I let my super lemon haze go probably another 2 weeks after that point.

Here is the whole bud, only new growth is foxtails
