or do i stop at all?:jointsmile:
what kinda nuts? planters peanuts? i do a flush about 10 days before harvest and thats when you stop feeding them nutes. just water after that
I wrap up my nutrient cycle with just a teaspoon of molasses with 2 1/2 gallons of water around the 5th or 6th week of flowering to give the bud a nice sweet flavor, and then I just go with straight water the last two weeks. That'll flush any residual nutes out, so you don't end up smoking them. Some go 7 days, but I prefer the full two weeks just to make sure.
ahh tyvm
I have 2 plants with only 1 or 2 of the hairs starting to turn brown. Should I stop giving it nutes now? I want to harvest when about 40% are colored.
The hairs mean nothing. Follow the trichomes and you can't go wrong. what strain ? Some white strains never turn red untill after harvest. Get a good loop or magnifier and do a seach it will show you what you need to know.Quote:

Adding molasses to the water will not make the plant 'sweeter'. Neither will kool-aid, sleepytime teas, eye of newt, or anything else for that matter. Doesn't work that way. Molasses is a great source of micronutes, calcium, magnesium, iorn and carbon, and it's the basis for most of the carbo-load products.Quote:
