hello everyone. I have a question as far as feeding straight water for the rest of my flowering cycle. Can I use only water?

Seen plenty of plants with just water do just fine. I see the whole spectrum of chemicals used every single day, to nutes every week or two, to just water. I'm split, and only feed every week or two, and just water the last two to three weeks, to purify as much as I can. Don't overestimate the chemicals, but don't underestimate them either. I use them last in the final growth spurt, it is usually an unmistakeable time, but you also have to remember you need to let your plants go usually at least a week more than when you think they are ready. Patience.

I appreciate your input. I am in the middle of the final stretch now, and patience is not a problem at all lol. Great advice brother
you can feed straight water but you should still be top dressing every couple weeks so the plants have food available if it needs.
thanks man I appreciate it !

my soil is perfect. Spent years dumping hundreds of pounds of compost (black gold I call it) into the soil and rotar tilling it in with moo doo and everything else I feel they get plenty of nutrients which is why I ask about the water only. My ph is at 6.3 which is perfect for these girls. However I know extra nutrients may be needed for flowering stage. I've only done all indoor go 15 years so being my first outdoor grow I'm not sure how this method will work you understand? Just doing my usual thing outside of my comfort zone this year

You're plants are in ground. Judging by the other foliage in the photo, you have good soil, so you'd be fine with water alone. That said, I'd still give them a bloom fertilizer with higher P and K than N, with epsom salts, too.
