Flower timing

How do you time the nute cut off so the last 2 weeks is only watering and still harvest at the proper time? If you add nutes then figure to wait another 2 weeks to flush the plant then notice its a late harvest you screw yourself so how do you time it all out?

thx

Well. you're asking the eternal question! The timing is tough when you don't know the maturity time. And it's not just the last 2 weeks of water either, it's the 2 weeks before that for some flavor enhancer, and 2 weeks before that for a PK booster, etc. :-?

That's another reason to grow from cuttings, so you will know the timing.

For a first time growing a strain, you could use the 40/60 Theory. It requires some regular measurement, but it will help you. You measure the growth of the plant through the stretch, and when it slows dramatically, then 40% of ripening time has passed, so you have 60% time left to harvest.

e. g. The plant starts the rapid stretch on day 8 and you measure that she stops growing on day 26. She'll be done approximately day 65.
