Ferts after pollination?

[Danyoson]

I've just pollinated my plant about 4/5 days ago and I was wondering if I should add some veg ferts for the seeds I want to harvest. I use Pure Blend Pro Grow for Veg and Pure Blend Pro Bloom for Flower. I was also thinking about adding a little molasses? My lady is just about three weeks into flower. Any input is appreciated. And while I'm here I wanted to ask about tying down some of the branches. Will this stress the plant as she is three weeks into flower and cause her to herm?

Curious, why do you want to herm it after pollination?

I don't think that will make much difference now

and I'm not sure if a plant can herm 3 weeks into flower stage...

[Danyoson]

I don't want her to herm. I don't know if she can herm but I was under the impression that stress can cause any plant to herm and I just don't want to stress her.

Don't try to stress train her now, at this point it would be considered high stress

When they're much younger in the first week to two weeks of veg is when you want to pinch and bend her branches. Try searching "pinch and bend" or "LST" to learn about it.

Do it when they're young so you can teach it to grow horizontal and bushy, that's low stress, asking it to change right now from vertical to horizontal will stress the piss out of it

Hope this helps

What about ferts for the seeds?

[SunnyD]

What do you mean?

Give ferts to your plants now that are making seeds so your seeds will be better?

Just give it regular bloom ferts and flush for two weeks, you'll be fine

Seeds depend all on the genes of the plant

Seeds don't need more ferts to develop. Once the plant is seeded, it will put its energy, including mobile nutrients, to bring them to ripeness.

Go on with regular feeding routine as if nothing had happened.

I didn't mess that one up did I stinky?...
