canuck, I'm in about the same place as smokey is with my plants being in the middle of week 3 @ 12/12. Pistils began forming at the end of week 1 of 12/12, so said another way, I'm on day 12 of flowering or pistil formation.

I made the mistake in the last grow of giving them the Cat drench too soon (week 3 of 12/12, not week 3 of flowering). Doc suggested I wait a week, which I did, but the colas never really filled in. The nodal spacing is better this time so I'm hopeful they will.

Having said that, I could use some guidance from you, Doc, or others and how to proceed. The Flowering watering schedule says to give them a CAT drench, but they're not ready. They haven't had Energy since I went to 12/12, so I'm thinking of doing that tomorrow, water in a week or so, and then giving them the CAT drench. Suggestions?

Also, do you flush before giving the CAT Drench? Doc's instructions suggest that is something to do to prior to the CD to switch from nuetral/growth to cationic/reproductive.

Thanks in advance. Any comments or suggestions you or others have will be appreciated.

If they're not ready, feed with Transplant. Don't use Growth Energy till after the Cat Drench.....unless you want to skip the Cat Drench all together, in which case you can use Growth Energy now. If you're going to Cat Drench in a week, just feed Transplant.

I like to flush them. Wait 20 minutes and THEN pour in the Cat Drench. After the second Cat, flush again, wait 20 minutes and feed with the Energy.
