Started with Overdrive too soon

I started two weeks too early using Overdrive on Blue Dream, a 10 week flower. So, I'm at the start of week 9 and have been giving her OD for two weeks. Should I stop giving it to her or keep on until the end?

Seriously and no sarcasm but what does your plant say, will it let you continue?

I just harvested a grow that I had used OD for one more week than recommended by AN. You'll be fine.
Thank you! So, it probably won't harm her then but would it be a waste to use anymore? Is there an upper limit on how much OD can help?

I've only used it twice (and will again) ..Its NPK is 1-5-4 so take that into consideration along with whatever the NPK is of your base nutes ..along with anything else that you're feeding.

It contains "never-before-used combination of vitamins" LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL which your plants is producing in a abundance by itself, It contains Amino Acids; see previous answer and has a NPK ratio of 1-5-4 which is pretty useless AKA snake oil
Well, this is the 2nd Blue Dream from Humboldt I have grown and the difference between using PH Perfect, B-52 and OD together has been absolutely amazing. No comparison to the health, density and size of these buds when held up to the previous plant.

It's just P, K, Mg, and a little N. All of which are already present in any balanced nutrient. A little MKP and magnesium sulfate is basically the same thing without the nitrogen.

AN acts like they have some secret formula and cannabis growers believe it. But it comes in a bottle with a cartoon character driving a race car so it must be good. The same stuff growers around the world have been using for decades to grow thousands of different plants is now being sold to cannabis growers at 100 X markups.

Seeds or cuttings?

Continuing to use it at safe dosages while the plant is continuing to eat shouldn’t hurt anything.

I’d love to see a picture of the plant. The guy that asked

is right on. Our plants tell us what they want and what they can handle.

If your plant is actually nearing harvest it won’t need tons of nutrients. Without seeing the plant I couldn’t tell you how far off it is though. However actually letting plants finish properly will have more of an effect on the bud quality the any nutrient additives as long as you are feeding the plant right in the first place.

Boosters! HA, ha, ha...... NOT needed is the base line statement there..

AN? LMFAO! The base stuff works but, why support a company based in ripping you off or literally cheating you out of money?

Everybody who hasn't had college level Ag course's starts out by over feeding and "boosting" in the bloom....Nutrient makers commercial hype is just out of hand!

This is nothing compared to what I see around here but for me, it's a big leap forward. I made some other mistakes since flowering so these buds should be quite a bit bigger than they are, but I can tell a massive difference, using AN products

It could be different phenos then you are seeing.

Didn't understand you at first, but yes, that can be a factor but I am also doing a lot of things SO much better this time around. So, it's hard to say how much AN is helping I guess, but as long as it's not hurting, I'm happy with what I'm getting!!
