How is flowering going? 4 weeks since going 12

[Ironmike340]

Changed to flowering 4 weeks ago. Someone told me you can’t count flowering until one to two weeks in? So that would make 3 weeks?
I feel they look like there not moving along?
Sensi bloom,cal mag,mammoth p, rock resonator ppm total is 1569ppm
Let me know what you think
Grow is two pants scrog under 600 led best quality led out there.
I’ve seen mother plants of my clones and didn’t seem like big buds either it’s og better than yours

You count flowering the day you switch to 12/12. It takes a few weeks for the plant to stretch and start forming buds but it is still considered flowering.

They are looking good to me!

They look good. You in soil or soil-less medium??

If soil you can start ramping down the nutrients.

Plants store nutrients in the leaves for the run down to the end in flower.

If you keep feeding her she will gladly use those nutrients as apposed to the nutrients she's stored up in the leaves.

Let her use her own stored nutrients and ween her off your bottles.
She will turn colors and the nutrients in the leaves translocate to the flowers she's making.

The green left if the leaves is chlorophyll and if left there it will make your weed harsh tasting.

This is a leap of faith for you. It works anyone that says flushing does the same thing is wrong. It's not even scientifically possible to run water thru roots to remove nutrients from the plants cells.

So your saying maybe drop to half nutes now and last week no nutes?

 

[Ironmike340]

Happy frog soil
I was thinking of full nutes and flushing the last week and half of should I be different?

Flushing soil doesn't do what you think.

Water is good, just water more than you think they need and do it daily.

You wont hurt the plant as long as you have a place for the water to run off, like a tray under the pot.

The plant will change colors. It's gonna be OK

Ok so I watered today and I only bite every other water. So I’m thinking dropping to 75 % this week and down to 50 next week and 25% then finish last 2 weeks at zero nutes

Defoil is .... I have no idea. Probably extremely stressful to the plant at the very least!

Try stripping your tomato plants of the fan leaves when the tomatoes are green.
