Bloom booster regimen for each flowering stage

....however, the odds are all that N will hinder flower onset a bit.

Another cannabis forum myth. I have tried to wean folks off the bloom foods for years and some are getting it.

Even my outdoor Haze (which usually takes forever to show a flowering response as it's a pure sativa hybrid) loved the 18-4-9 from start to finish. What controls flowering is phytochrome accumulations and/or chronological age, NOT bloom foods. https://www.rollitup.org/nutrients/570037-so-you-noobs-hooked-cannabis.html

LOL no, i did read that a while ago actually, before i read books that told me i should listen to you, I just forgot about it. I was just taking a shot, no harm meant. I do not think most people get to your older posts, or they just don't believe them cuz you're one guy against the marketing. What really got me listening to you though was a rant at some troll about reading books on botany, house plants, and horticulture. If you are not afraid to point someone at the library to prove your point, you probably got something there.

Don't ask me why i didn't pick up a book in the first place, but I was specifically looking for information on cannabis, so i would have probably ended up with bullshit at that point anyway. But it finally, after 2 years, dawned on me that if i understand how plants work in general I would be a much better grower.

Bingo! Give that man 5 gold stars and dinky button!

That's what I like about Mel Frank's book. It not only covers cannabis from A-Z including university studies giving the reader some hard core data, it is written from a botanical, horticultural frame of reference.

but I was specifically looking for information on cannabis,...

And that's where most folks fail or go astray, especially embracing forums like these. You can do all the tricks you want, but if you don't have the basics down pat, understand what makes a plant tick, you're screwed and tatooed.

Happy gardening!
