I started off with a tellis net.until all the buds started fattening. Then i cut the trellis off and using the bamboo too support the branches. Andy from advance nutrients also recommend I do this.

LMFAO!

Ummm, yeah sure....

They work but, they have unacceptable marketing practice's that go right on into direct lies....
They print their own propaganda magazine that lies more then tells truths.

They tell you you need a bunch of supplements to grow at a professional level - BS!

Your using the product as it's charted right?
Your plant is getting to much P (to early) and is yellowing out from the bottom up - Not good, pro's know it's "green to the end"..... Some strains show a natural late color change.

That problem is coming from their instructions to you... The plant shows a general low N issue at it's age (And the high P).

You can fix that (next run) by simply feeding the veg solution for the first 2 weeks of bloom, then 50;50 bloom and veg, for a week, and on to the full on bloom feeds after that. Might just work to go bloom at week 3 but, if it starts to go yellow again before week 7.....To much P still - do the half and half at week 3 thing.

Lastly - "flushing" is a MYTH! Once you harvest is done. Dry it in an area of 50% RH and do not "jar" it till the stems crack and not bend.
Now, once you jar it? Throw in a Bovida 58 or 62 packet and let it set for at least 6 weeks!

The result will be smooth and tasty with no harshness and a clean burn... It's that CURE time that does the work - NOT a "flush"! A nice side product of that cure time.. It will be noticeably stronger then dry it and smoke it!

Good luck and remember that there are better choices then AN....

Thanks for the great info. My first grow i was mostly just saying advance is the best to catch peoples attention so they can tell me what im doing wrong like you just did. So thanks I will take all of your advice and use it. Also what better alternatives. Do you recomend ?

@Chrisgrowbud

Keep laughing Mr "First Grow"!

I likely been doing this longer then YOU have been alive!

I do the bulk of my work with my own home built , water only, organic soils.
The last few years I have been doing some synthetic work again. It's rather fun to play with..

I use Botanicare KIND line.
I do, at certain times, for set periods of times. Use 2 different supplements that I make myself. They are NOT P-K boosters (one does some K but, not tailored to that).
These are tailored to do what I want, when I want, and I make them at my strength's.
I use a special micro mix to get specific, soil available ppm 's of a cpl of those micro's to increase either THC or CBD production.

None of the above I have kept "secret"! The formula's are here, on this site, for everyone to see.

At almost 62 now, I feel it's time to share. Not getting younger and my health is not getting better.

I told you how to fix your AN problem,,didn't I?

I was walking my kids to school when i posted that first one. I thought u were bashing me. Again thank you. I salute vet growers like yourself . its kind of tough to be a newb but im trying to learn. Sorry about that

I found the teachings of uncle ben and home brewer really effective, both claim Advanced Nutrients is not worth it. I also found this interview really enlightening.

. In my last grow I have been using foliage pro and nothing else, I think they are doing quite good.

Hydro shops love first time growers and always recommend AN due to them making the most profits off selling you 14 bottles of shit that’s not needed.

Thanks. I'm planning on upping the pot size next time. I didn't know what to expect with how big the plant would get and I'm working in a 3x3x5 tent. I trained it to keep it short. But next time im going a little taller

Gond00s · Feb 4, 2020

yea next time go for that 5 gal I even did a 7 gal in a 2x2 filled that room up to the max but I think a 7 would do the whole 3x3 then
