Hey Mr2shim, During the veg stage and the 1st 3weeks of flowering I was watering/feeding them about every3-4 days.Now going into their 5th week of flowering,they seem to need water/food more often.I've been watering/feeding every 2-3 days now.But ultimately I water them when the soil feels dry an inch or two down and the bags are light in weight.I also use "Gro Bags" (fabric bags) so they might be drying out quicker because of the air flow. Hope this helps.
Thanx H ...getting closer to harvest.Still have 3-5 weeks or so I think.Say cheeeeese!
Peace

Thanx bro....
I'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil with 30% perlite mixed in.The only organic nute I'm using is FF Big Bloom I think.I started using the molasses about 3-4 weeks into veg and have continued to use it.I'm a noob,but what I have read is that the molasses is more beneficial to the soil than the plant.It feeds the bacteria living in the soil, which helps increase nute uptake.Ultimately it should make the budz bigger.
Peace

2 tsp FF Tiger Bloom
1 tsp General Organics BioBud Bloom Booster

38 Days of flowering
73 Days from seed
The Master Kush is looking really small compared to the Bubblelicous.
The other day I tested the pH of the runoff on my plantz and got some low readings 5.5 -5.9 .So I picked up some Dolomite Lime pellets and spread a small amount on top of my soil to raise the pH a lil.I watered and the runoff read 6.5.
Fed the girlz today.
1 Tbl Molasses
1 Tbl FF Big Bloom
2 tsp FF Grow Big
2 tsp FF Tiger Bloom
pH of nute mix: 5.5
pH of runoff:
2 plantz were 6.0
2 plantz were 6.1
So the lime did raise the pH.Not sure if I need to use more?
Or leave it like it is for now and wait to see if the pH drops again,then add more?

Thanx for the compliment Basket.....I've done countless hours of reading here at RIU.I wouldn't have been able to do as well as I have without the help from this site.I think you are the most successful first time grower i have seen! those buds are that fat even now, can you imagine how much bigger they will be in the little over 2 weeks left, congratulations, you will have enough weed for a long while
Peace
