A haze of questions...please help!
I need some guidance here in regards to the following dilema. My plants are about 1 1/2 months old. I have 4 feminized White Widow and 1 Mazar-I female. About 4 days ago I transplanted them into 5 gallon containers containing MG organic soil, peralit, and a touch of cow manure. The plants are healthy and all stand roughly 3 feet high. The sub branches are breaking out at the nodes and all else seems fine. Here comes my questions:
1) Prior to transplanting I was feeding them Fox Farm Big Grow at about 1/2 strength. Now that I have transplanted into MG organic should I continue with the Fox Farm nutes or should I let the MG organic deplete first? (I don't want to over nute my girls):(
2) They have been growing outdoors since about 4 days old so say they have been above ground since 6/5. Today being 7/11 they have roughly been getting about 9 hours of sun. All this being considered what is anybody's rough estimate on when I should expect them to hit flowering stage. And considering I had a later start on my grow then I wanted, what would be a rough finishing time?
3) My final question is, when they do start to flower should I flush them for about a week prior to using my Fox Farm Tiger Bloom? :wtf:
Any and all help would be very much appreciated....my grow is going well and I really don't want it to go down the shitter because of my lack of experience!
Thank you all in advance! :thumbsup:

1. I would give them a week or so to establish themselves in the new buckets before you give them more nute. When you transplant, you're slightly shocking the plant, so give it time to recover.
2. Haven't grown outdoors, but I believe outdoor harvest time is mid-Sept if I remember correctly.
3. Flush them for at least a week before harvest otherwise when you smoke it, it'll burn your throat more from the residual nutrients. Also add a teaspoon of molasses for each gallon during this time to give your bud a little sweetness.

Cut back on the nutes. The nutes in the MG will last about a month, but keep an eye on them. Being that large, they may run-out of nutes a tad sooner. When you do start adding nutes, go with half-strength for first couple of weeks and watch for their reaction.

No.
Molasses does nothing for cannabis 'sweetness', but it is a good source of micro's and is the base ingredient for most "bulking agents".
