all plants need nutes, i use tap water myself but i let it sit for a few days before use to let the chlorine vapor off.
theres only calcium and some magnesium in tap water but those are just trace elements, and a trace is all a plant needs of some things.
but when it comes down to the NPK (nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) human assistance is needed.

all plants need NPK or they will just start,grow alittle and die.

You can help it dissipate the chlorine by putting a bubbler in it. Depending on the size of your res you could use it the next day. I use a 32 gal res and my girls have never complained about using it the day after filling.

And when he says top dress he means.... gives them nutrients. You can grow with amended soil. But you cannot grow without nutrients. Just like you would die if u didn’t eat so will your plants! Facts

And when you here mix up a batch of soil... it means make soil that has the nutrients in it already. So again.. not possible.

In general when you talk about not giving you plants nutrients, you mean, can you veg and flower without feeding your plants in soil.
( This grower was talking fox farm) great in flower, not so good for early veg as the soil too hot.

You need different strengths of soil for different stages in veg and a hot soil mix in flower
Same as the amount of light, space etc

See the same kind of question endless times on the forums.

I give my plants a top dress in mid flower because I get slightly better results.

Lol did you look at their pics? Seems to me they made it all the way through to a big harvest. And I’m two weeks into the flowering stage with a 5 x 3 ft luscious plant.

You can choose to believe whatever the fuck you want!, I've grown extremely heady flower , without doing anything, but letting nature take course!!, I have a shit ton of people that I have gifted too that can vouch that the terps and they flower itself was incredible!, so ya!, you can most d run a productive grow, with NO added NUTRIENTS!!!!

No because cannabis will not grow without nutrients.

This does not mean that it won't grow without fertilizer, as not all nutrients are derived from fertilizer.

Soil has varying degrees of nutrients. A sterile "soilless" medium such as coco will have very little to no nutrients, while rich organic soil might have more than enough for a crop of cannabis. Even tap water has some nutrients in the form of dissolved solids.

If you check out the organic section you will see a lot of people who are growing with "super soil" which is highly amended poting soil that doesn't need anything other than water to grow some great looking cannabis.

Outdoors it's possible, I've grown with little to no nutrients and come out with half decent stuff but I've done it indoors before and in my experience the buds were airy and light and one plant had dense buds but the taste was just not there... It needs some kind of nutrients to get some decent dank

So i thought i was in 2nd day of week 6 flower now im not sure because i noticed that the trichomes and hairs are turning amber. Do you guys and girls think this is the last week or i have another week to go. If this is ready should i start flushing now right away? Also when flushing do i water everyday or ......?

Actually to be honest, I did not really use a lot of added nutes on my plants and they are turning out pretty decent. This has all been a wild experiment as a first time grower, even go as far to say it was pretty much accidental (bag seed mystery train as someone mentioned) Lol.

Outdoors it’s very easy to get away with good topsoil and no nutes. Indoors is another story with a smaller area for roots to grow, unless you have hauled a massive amount of yard dirt inside. Or use a super soil.

With that said I root my plants in my carpet and grow them WITHOUT water or nutes or lights and they get fat dense buds.
