Need some help with Overdrive

Hello trees! I'm in week 5 since 12/12 and have started thinking about the end phase of my grow. Managed to get my hands on a bottle of Overdrive (the one with the Tomato racer) and it says on it 2ml/L for last 2 weeks of flowering. I'm growing in soil and I won't flush, also I think flushing is nonsense just to get this out of the way.

Edit: I'm currently using a mix of AN Ph Perfect Micro + Canna Tera Flores every 3rd or 4th watering and nothing else.

Now my questions are:

1. How do I know when the last 2 weeks start? Since I'm a noob grower, I don't really know what the last 2 weeks of flowering are. Breeder said 45 days total flowering time but I think that's BS. Grew these seeds once only and some of them took 8 weeks, others 10 to finish.

2. Do I use it with every watering? I water my babies almost every day, should I use overdrive with every watering or every second one or what do you pros suggest?

3. Do I use the suggested 2ml/L dosage or should I go by the half strength rule for this substance as well?

4. What would be the worst thing to suddenly become illegal?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read(and maybe answer) this. Here's a couple pics of the girls I'm talking about

You don't need it.

Glad you woke up to breeder harvest time bullshit ..... they get done when they are done.

First Question .... Why do anything different? .... they look great.

There is some good looking Sativa lean ... nugmeat will take a few weeks , so they are looking awesome.

Keep them THIS happy .... whatever your feed. And let it ride.

wow thanks for the super kind words, I'm really flattered. so bottom line is that I don't need it at all? For science purposes I will use it on 50% of my plants with the instructions indicated on the bottle and check back with the results if I won't be too stoned to remember.

real thanks, my heart grows

They're looking good, keep em going how they are and you're going to have some nice plants bro. Good job.
I wouldn't worry about all the additives and boost things, just a simple grow and flower nutrient and maybe some cal/mag incase you need it.
What strain is that?
And how big are your pots cause you shouldn't be watering every day.. Every 3 days is ideal, possibly 2 but not 1.

I think the experiment is a great idea. I use over drive. I implemented overdrive this run a little earlier. I find it brings in more dense , size to the buds a little earlier. Creating a longer "thickening " time( to create new vocab)

But the comments about keeping it simple I also agree with !! I'm doing a kiss method . Will small additives on either end. Over drive at the end , and rooting boosters at the beginning.

NO! You don't need it..
RULE 1: "More" is not better. Whether it be"stuff" or of one thing....

Help with it?

Hold the bottle out away from you at arms length. Now screw the cap back on carefully. Walk (not run) to your storage area. Clear a space as far to the rear of that area as you can and set it where you can't see it (you won't get tempted that way).
Now walk away and look at your lovely plants they way they are.....Healthy and happy!

I support the "you don't need it" contingency

They are in 1,3 Gal pots (they are actually dairy containers, money was tight don't judge ) and the plants are about 2ft tall. I've drilled 5 holes in each pot and the soil I picked myself from a very wormy ground. They still have a bunch of worms, some of them try to escape their small enclosures but they die horribly as one would expect when they do. I think they are the reason my soil is so aerated as I haven't added any perlite or similar things and water runs off within seconds of pouring it in the pot. This is my only explanation why I have to water every day. Also I make sure there is runoff every time.

I got the seeds for free from someone at Genehtik and been told they are Kritikal Bilbo but I suspect they are an assortment of their seeds from what they looked last time I grew them. https://www.genehtik.com/en/product/kritikal-bilbo/

Here's a couple of examples from last run:

@Cr0p420 your girls look amazing, mine are not nearly as.. dense I think? Lights come on in an hour and I'll take some pics of them in a bit more detail. How far along are yours?

Also I haven't used anything except the 2 nutes already mentioned in the first post, and I ground up some egg shells for the calcium. Dunno what to do about Mag yet but am learning as I want to go full natural after a few grows

Mine are about 4 weeks along in flower. Probably about 3-4 feet tall.

Your buds look great man. Good trich production!!

Mine have some filling in to do that's for sure. showing great structure to fully develop some nice rocks.

All comes down to last couple weeks. I'm having trouble figuring out when these puppies finish. China Yunnan strain.

Allright so here they are as promised, tho a bit later than advertised

Have you grown that China Yunnan before? If so what's it like? I almost got some except I could only find feminized seeds and I want regulars. I ended up getting some Orient Express regulars which is Vietnam Black Sativa x China Yunnan Indica. Haven't grown it yet.

Your plants look good.

New seeds I got probably a year ago. 2nd run of them. So far super easy strain, likes to feed a lot. Which will only help the growth in my opinion.
Have some kush berry , Northern skunks seeds that I literally just got.

I also have a bangi haze and some China clones in the veg tent right now. So some new fun is on the way haha

Your plants look very nice as well. Short, good quality buds and from what I can see a very even canopy. Very well done

That's what I'll be trying next run. Keep the plants a little shorter.

Did you shave their legs at all??

I did just before switch but many of them re-sprouted. I'm afraid to pull the new shoots as I don't want to stress them too much.

Also I intentionally left a few untouched from the get go to see how big the difference is between colas at the end. I don't mind popcorn but I would mind a significant decrease in yield and if I see that, I'll make sure to shave their legs clean from here on

From what I have experienced, it helps with trich production, size and density. But I've never done shorter plants.

I honestly think shorter is better for indoor and hydro. Easier to distribute nutes?

Beautiful results. I wouldn't change much at all to be honest with you. Just slowly experiment with things to find your sweet spot.

I was afraid to let them grow bigger so that they have enough room for their roots in their small pots. Was wondering if I should stack them even closer and make room for a few more in that space. I'm used to seeing other people's grows and they are so much more densely distributed
