i like my leaves to slowly turn from green to yellow in the final few weeks.the bud is always better quality this way.so im going to stick to my feeding schedule,because it has worked for me,for the past 15 years.

I have a few questions:

1. Do you always know when your plants are 2 weeks out....even with new strains? If I guessed when my plants are 2 weeks out during the past 2 years of growing I'd be wrong about 50% of the time.

2. Have you ever done a side-by-side comparison between feeding until the end and doing it the way you're doing it now?

3. What do you base your "better quality" statement on?

I used to keep it green till the end. Now I like it to change colors like it does naturally in nature. Green yellow red and purple.

Plants change colors outdoors because of their environment. Tweaking a feeding regimen in a stable indoor environment to artificially induce that same deficient look is misguided.

oh, so that is why the plants in my room next to the A/C always have more purples. :hug:

Thank you Uncle Ben, this is a very informative post.

It's a natural fade in my organic soil. I don't deplete them of any nutrients. What's in my soil is there I just don't top dress with high nitro guanos anymore

I hope you don't think I look like mine.

Wait - worse things could happen.

jack's citrus feed, UB recommended, No ph pen's, No ppm pen, i don't test ANYTHING. I use the same barrel of water to mix nutes for veg and flower, they are the same. I use a couple scoops every time I water. Buds that are so heavy i often find a branch half broke from the weight that I have to tie up. Buds so sticky, you brush your arm up against it and your arm is now sticky. taste,smell,potency. all top shelf. Just got more bud off my plants than ever before.(new Gavita Light did that)

Keep it simple stoner. Spend money on better lights and environment, forget about magical sauces that cost a fortune.
Learned all this from My man UB.

Hey chuck. The guy at my local hydro shop doesn't stop goin on about the gavita. He also talks a load of bollocks so I am skeptical. R they really that good? How much did it boost ur yield?

Oh boy.......

Oh boy what? Basically telling it the way it is for 90% of personal growers and not just the "newbs". Again not saying your wrong, I'm sure a plant can do fine and even thrive using a general purpose fertilizer, i did it for years in soil. But every company sells flower nutes and as a newb and even most seasoned growers are going to buy them. Sorry UB, I know your trying lol. But its not going to change for the newbs. I was on the Dutch Nutrient site yesterday and their starter kit had 10 bottles, "everything needed for a succesful grow". Keep trying though, youve tweaked my intetest. Just a question though. My plants stay green pretty much till harvest, I do add extra nitrogen but still add flowering nutes, is this a bad thing or should or just forgo the flower all together, they are the same price so cost is not a concern, big buds are lol.

Uncle Ben · Sep 3, 2014

Like I said, if you keep the plant green and healthy until harvest, that's the best you can do.

I won't and don't lock step with the herd. I'm a simple man & march to a different drummer.

You need to define "seasoned growers". By my definition, there are very few "seasoned growers" or gardeners in cannabis forums, which is good for vendors. They need sucker fish to bait and catch or they wouldn't be in business.

"Seasoned growers" DO NOT buy into anything that is promoted at cannabis forums because they know that 90% of it is one big farce. If I was at an Agrilife workshop and even mentioned Advanced Nutrients or a company similiar to it, I'd be laughed right out of the room.

I'm a commercial farmer, gardener, have a vineyard, have a greenhouse with grafted tropical plants. I'm here to tell you that cannabis growers are not dealing in the real world of horticulture.

Uncle Ben, would you say I am safe enough using standard tomato feed then as it is all around pretty high in everything and costs £4 a liter, not £10.
I have that hanging around from my edible crops, its NPK is 8.4.10.

Thank you.

Probably would be fine. Standard NPK for a general soil mix is 5-2-3.

Fair enough, but you can't deny defoliation produces better yields though....

Oh, shit.... I really am a troll!

I'm following Chuck's example and gonna try dynagrow straight through in passive hydro on the next run.

I'll try to help you noobs out once again-the plant needs plenty of N until harvest.
