Sounds good bro. These last week's im thinking of 7grams per gallon and also increasing by a gallon. So instead of 4 gallons at 26grams I'll do 5 for a total of 35grams. @MrSauga

I'm no sure why you want to go that high at 7g/gal. Your plants are doing fine and you just risk problems adding more. If there was a reason for me to agree with you I would. Ultimately the decision is yours but just be aware you could run into issues.

Nice that's what I was thinking. Maybe flush a few days prior just to get those salts outta there.

No need. A good amount of bulking is done in the last week. Why stress the plants with a flush? Harsh smoke comes from a bad cure, not from not flushing the plant. I feed up unti harvest and have lovely smoke

I am just now experimenting with nutrients (mega crop).

others on here have convinced me flushing is a myth.

you’re making it look easy @mkono87

Ha, knock on wood dude. Its been a solid system thus far very happy.

Sounds good I'll keep it where I'm at. The lack of burnt tips makes me wanna do the increase. There's some tips that are a little discolored but not all of them figured there was more room for an increase. They stopped getting runoff @ 4 gallons so I'll probably just do 6 grams @ 5 gal. So there will be an increase just not the amount per gallon. 30total grams..

Or should I do like 5gals @ 5.5?

Also about the flush: all I've been reading on pretty much every forum the standard rule is to flush? I mean that's literally all I've read about the final weeks. Flush and use plain water. I'm not surprised I mentioned it cuz seems like everyone else does. Anyway logic tells me feed when plants go through a growth spurt. And like you mentioned it will grow in the final weeks. I reckon I won't be flushing then. I have a whole bottle of flushing solution lol. Maybe I'll need it next grow.

You could always flush a couple and feed a couple and see if which works best for you

 

[Havocsm1]

I'll probably flush the final few days

First trich shot. All 4 plants

Great pics, the last one looks to have a good few amber.

 

[Havocsm1]

Ok let me double check which one it is. I'll take a few more pics of it.

The rule of thumb with MC is to increase in half gram increments. I wouldn't go more than 6.5g/gal. As you increase the feed you are adding more N-P-K, and eventually you have too much N going in causing lockouts.

@MrSauga
Cool yeah I didn't increase i just put a little more water in. I think peyote is ready? Used natural lighting this time

 

[Havocsm1]

Now that I'm relooking them over they all are close got some Amber about 15%. Going to monitor it. Just watered so I'll wait atleast until this weekend.

I'm no expert but it looks about right
That's flowered pretty quickly, those qb lights are doing the biz

 

[Havocsm1]

Ok I'll wait until the weekend. Do a thorough check Saturday morning. Chop every bud on every plant that looks ready. If it's most I'm taking the whole crop.

Awesome.
I've just looked back on your journal and you flipped 44 days ago so that's really fast flowering.
Hopefully we will both be harvesting this weekend

 

[Havocsm1]

Just barely short of 7 weeks. It's wierd still a lot of white pistils. Hell ya bro harvest same day that'd be awesome. Congrats your plant looks tasty. Very rewarding hobby.

 

[Havocsm1]

I used free prints . Com and printed over 250 4x8 for $9 and got a 300 photo album. They'll be forever immortalized.

 

[Havocsm1]

It's begun:

Violator kush
Peach puree
Amnesia haze
710 diesel

I'll tag everyone when I make new journal after they germinate. I'm also going to update this journal until harvest

 

[Havocsm1]

These are for sure still bulking up. It's clear to my eyes not only that way more colas are leaning over being supported by nets. Harvest may have to be post poned. Why would they still be growing if Amber trichomes? Maybe one more week.

 

[MrSauga]

Typically the week before harvest plants do a lot of their bulking up. It's one of the reasons many growers choose not to flush before harvest!
