Hey everyone. Tomorrow is day 40 in flowering. The hairs are starting to turn orange now and trichomes are really heavy. As of this week I am giving botinacare pro bloom only once a week. I know sometimes plants can take more than 8 weeks to be done. What I am wondering is, should I continue nutes one more week, or should I just start feeding water? Thanks. Godspeed.

your 5 weeks and 5 days into flower correct? if so if in soil feed for another water time at least then start giving molassas for the last week or so till the last day worked for me
if hydro im pretty sure u stop the last week only.

Yep I am 5 weeks and 5 days and in soil. I will stop using nutes next week than. Have you noticed a difference using molasses? I have black strap, and I have been wanting to use it.

How often do you use the molasses? Right now I use nutes once a week. She doesn't need much for nutes, and grows awesome.

Hey fellow tokers. I'm an amatuer grower. I had my first grow (one plant) last year and I grow for personal smokage. I took a random seed and grew a plant that was about 5 feet easy. Lucky me! It was great bud! So great I called it Zonk. My friends and I loved it! :-) Pics below of some of what was harvested off of the plant. My buddy and I decided to grow two plants this year. They started off one in a pot and one in a aerogarden. Just a tip the aerogarden is great for cloning or starting an outdoor grow but to grow actual flowering bud?..from personal experiance I've had no luck. Now we're looking at two females. We grew two more males and a hermie but threw them away when we realized the sex. We smoked the bud off the hermie although it was obviously premature. We did acchieve a buzz but it was sub par at best and it tasted terrible! It looks like our plants just started flowering. Of course the one in the pot is much smaller. So I transferred it to the ground and it seems to be growing a lot more rapidly. Commen sense tells me the bigger the plant the more the bud. Is this true? If so how can we boost the tiny females growth rate? What type of nutrients should be given to plants while budding? I have regular dirt and some organic soil mixed in. I water every other day and they get plenty of sunlight and shade. Any advice anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Black strap mollases works great. It helps your plants convert your nutes into food for your plants. I put 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons of water, and use it with every watering with great success. I aslo switch to straight water when about half of my pistols have changed color. hope that helps a little. Good luck!:eyesmoke:
