Cooking my Okra while reading this? We have not got the rain needed so just the plants I have been watering and MGing are producing. Once a week no changes is working. Changing colors stunted things for a week. Live and learn what works for tou.

I call shenanigans. You are still wrong.

P helps with the photosynthesis during veg. During flower P helps with flower production and respiration during both.. P is a mobile element. If you don't use P during flower, you will have small shitty buds. Every type of plant needs P for flower production. You need to back up what you say with scientific proof. otherwise its just nonsense.

I have a buddy who is new at this and he didn't give any base nutes during flower. Only a low npk compost and great white and karma. His turned out small and and airy and not that great. Mine of the same strains was way different. mine were bigger, much prettier, and more potent and way more trichome formation. He was lacking P and K. So I guess that's the experiment you want me to try. That helps back up what me and the rest of the educated world does.

The only reason I called you out is because I don't want anyone to waste time and money following bad advice. Your like the guys at the hydro shop. Buy this it will make your plants blow up. Oh that didn't work well spend more money and try this. Oh that didn't work either ok then ........
from my point of view you are the one giving bad advice, p is a low assimilating nutrient, the plants takes the p given in vegg & uses it during flowering, its useless to give p during flower becouse it wont assimilate it, just try it in one plant & then tell me the results, experiment it bro ;)
we all have a newbie friend wh srcrewed up his plants ;)

that mentality works fine in plants which have longer cycle, but not in cannabis, which is short cycle plant.

^What you're saying makes very little sense to me. I'll explain why, but no matter what you can't just say to somebody "experiment bro, just try it with one plant...". If I had a plant for every time somebody wanted me to try out their opinion\method\whatever I'd be growing felonious amounts of cannabis. It would be easier if you had something of substance, like research from an actual soil scientist or botanist that stated plant's don't continuously absorb phosphorous.

I'd say they have to - because plant's don't make matter. Matter cannot be created. When a plant is blooming it's mass increases significantly: the plant grows. In order to grow plants need energy, and in order to transfer energy a plant needs phosphorous (ATP). All those new cells are also going to need to contain some nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and P is incorporated into them and other molecules needed for plant life. It stands to reason the bigger the plant gets, the more ATP, nucleic acids, etc. are needed to be produced, and so more P will be needed continuously.

There's more I can say about P availability in soil, etc. but no time, be back later.

Adsorption is something different, though it has implications for phosphorous. Adsorption has to do with phosphates binding to soil particles; phosphates also have a tendency to precipitate out of soil solution or form complexes with organic matter... all of these things lead to decreased plant availability over time after a high P fertilizer is applied. It doesn't mean that a plant isn't still trying to uptake P from the soil, since it helpers in accomplishing this.

i didnt understand your last post, perhaps becouse i dont speak english, but im a soil engeneer and this has nothing to do with soil, its more simple than that, the plant catches the p duringg vegg, she doesnt uses it in vegg she just takes it, and then uses it in blooming.
just give it a try, why dont you like to experiment??, you will have good or bad results, but gain knowledge.
for example. this is a satori plant from mandala seeds i water it with only water, no nutrients nor fertilizers only water, this is day 50 of flowering with a 250w hps lamp and the plant has some serious buds. she wasnt feed any p during flowering. you will be happy and you will make me happy if you just try it bro.
i ahve more scary pictures if you want ;)
Sorry dude, but if you can't speak English and don't even know what my growing style is exactly don't tell me to try anything, bro. I am not going to do an experiment for every time somebody has some stupid opinion or whatever it is they're trying to prove. If it's true it's already been proven and a simple synopsis of the research will do.

Plants need P during veg too, they aren't just "catching it" and sitting on it. Phosphorous is needed for ATP- adenosine triphosphate, it's needed for nucleic acids DNA & RNA, phospholipids, healthy root growth, etc... for all growth stages. Plants can indeed store some P, but I seriously, seriously doubt that a plant absorbs all the phosphorous it is going to need while it is vegging; that's just a ludicrous assertion. If that was the case then how could a plant possibly become P-deficient halfway through bloom?

There's certainly no need to over-apply phosphorous, because in a healthy organic soil the microbes and mycorrhizae in particular are going to want to seek out bound P, dissolve it and bring it back to plant roots.

everyone feed p during veg and flower. you are wrong and give up your argument.You don't have any sound proof or any scientific data to back it up. Just because you are a soil engineer does not mean in any way that you know anything about growing. A soil engineer analyzes the structure quality in the ground for foundations and /or drilling.

becouse most people dont feed the p necessary during vegg ;)
& they cant correct this deff
lol... and yet you could give a mildly-P deficient plant (mid-way through bloom) some high P guano, wait a few days, and it will take right off. Experiment, bro. Try it with one plant.

Will you please stop posting your asinine science? They're are not helpful in the real world. Go try share your experiments and your theories in the Advance Cultivation or better yet the subcools old school organics instead of the organics forum, please for the love of..........whatever. Just quit posting here.

WOW!!! It's not opinion its fact. Read any horticulture book. horticulture 101, 102, and 201 from University of Missouri are the best ones. Also Microbiology by Dr. Elaine Ingham or Compost Teas by same person, or even anything from Oxford Journals. My question before was rhetorical,.

Read A Book before making stupid statements !!!
i vouch this.

after spending 5 YEARS in school for a degree in horticultural studies, seriously go read a fucking book elnene.

The plant catches al the P given in vegg & then uses it during flowering period
Actualy, no it doesnt. the P washes out with the rest of the runoff, this is the reason we reconstitute soils.

youll realise who the stupid is
ACTUALLY. you will realize who the ignorant one is in this situation. LEARN ENGLISH, i dont speak engrish.

Edit: i found it :D had to find the book.

During the Vegetative cycle of growth, 150 PPM of N, 50 PPM of P and 200 PPM of K should be supplied to the rootzone of green plants
During the Flowering cycle of growth 100 PPM of N 100 PPM of P and 400 PPM of K should be supplied to the rootzone of green plants
without proper up-take of macro nutrients, a plant has improper up-take if micro nutrients.

those are the maximum absorbable PPM limits of green broad leaf plants (such as marijuana).

subcools old school organics
thats where i spend alot of my time. i came here just to put the run on you elnene. i hate people like you, who spread MISINFORMATION.

Never decide that your way is the best or only way to grow great buds
oh its not the best, or only. alot of my friends are just as good as me, and i know 2 people who are better..... but heres something for you. my way, is scientificly proven. WTF is your backwards hillbilly way?

P.S. the only reason that plant is "scarey" is because the stem is so thin and weak, it cant even hold its self up.

mexican bat guano and molassis for K. and other needed shit will get you threw veg, and jamaican bat guano 1-10-.5 plus some molassis will get you threw bloom..... twords the end you could even switch to indo. bat giuano .5-12-.5 to finish her off...

IMNSHO, there is nowhere near enough K in the molasses or the molasses and guano combined for flowering and even veg would be ?????????

Add some kelp and I agree 420%.

Just about all organics are really weak in the K dept. N and P are easy, K is a bit more problematic.

Kelp meal, Maxicrop and Greensand. Other than that there is sulfate of potash, and that's just about it.

personaly list of MINIMUM fertalizers:

High N Guano (Prefer bat)
High P Guano (prefer seabird)
Kelp Extract (prefer liquid)
0-X-X Fish Emulsion (to finish off flowering phase)

i personaly say this is the minimun needed to grow decent plants. anything less than that and the plants arn;t getting the trace elements needed, or the proper N/P/K ratio's at the right times.

Kelp meal, Maxicrop and Greensand. Other than that there is sulfate of potash, and that's just about it.
i wouldn;t say Greensand is NEEDED, but DAMN MAN. i just got some greensand and added it to my personal super soil, seriously 30% larger plants.... WTF silica is awsome.
