A few questions for people with more experience then me. Pictures included.

Hi!
This beauty was put into soil at first of may. (Northern Lights Auto from Bulk seedbank)
My question is, how far to go?
She have not had any signs of any yellowing as intended in the end of the flowering cycle, (More like keeping it REALLY dark green) but on the other hand it feels close due to other parameters.
Is it time to flush or is it a bit late?
Would you say keep feeding for a week or 2?

All answers is appreciated.

Posting some pictures.

I would say that it needs at least another week or two to mature. The leaves are not fading and the trichs look bright and sparkly from your picture. Just a bit more . . .

seeing that , for my side i' ll continue to feed , you can start to give only water when you see some yellowing , some way to go for this plant for the best results , just my opinion ...

Thanks! Yeah, feels like it could bulk up a bit more aswell. Still feels a bit thin Would you also say keep feeding a bit more like bibi40?

Auto's do seem to keep sucking up the N, I notice. Even on 12/12 my efforts kept taking on N they didn't actually want. It really hampers bud growth. There is no doubt they are over feeding on it. Which means K suffers, and it's K that packs them out.

I'm not sure what you have at hand. That N needs coming down though. Many would lower the feed perhaps 50% and then put the PK back with the right amount of boost. Which is a bit of maths with the bottle content numbers.

Been feeding with 3 basic nutrients from Biobizz.
Bio-Grow
Bio-Bloom
Top-Max

Following a strict schedule due to it beeing the first time actually using nutrients.
Gonna try post a pic of the schedule.

 

[Iblex]

BioBizz Bio-Grow - NPK 4-3-6
BioBizz Bio-Bloom NPK 2-7-4
BioBizz Top-Max NPK - 0.1-0.01-0.1​

Like f-e suggests, cut your Bio-Grow by 50% by the look of that chart.

Thanks a bunch! Much love!

Generally speaking the leaves don't yellow much until you start flushing but then again it all depends on the strain and what it's demands are. I agree it does look close but not real close. Looking at the trichomes on that one picture focusing on a leaf I see a lot of clear trichomes, then again they say it's best to judge by the trichomes on the bud itself and not the ones on the leaves. As healthy and nutrient rich as they look to be, if it were me I'd just start flushing them now. In the final weeks there are usually more then enough nutrients in the plant and soil to cover the plant's needs until harvest. The main reason leaves yellow near the end is because you start flushing thereby depriving the plant of new nutrients and so it starts feeding off what's stored in the leaves. I'd say around the end of July they should be ready to harvest.

Wow, you did a good job growing that plant, she looks pretty. Most of the pistils are withered and I noticed the bulbous heads are starting to bust and fall off, If you look on the leaf you can see what I'm talking about. That plant is ready, and if you wait too long you will lose your bulbous heads off the trichomes on the outside of the buds. I don't think you are going to get much more out of this plant or even a fade with this Auto. I would take her now, and dry the bud, and let the dry weed set in a jar for another month and finish in the jar. That way you can get your new plants started Now!!!

The chart increases N mid bloom if I'm squinting enough. Perhaps calling them grow&bloom is misleading, as they are dosing like the bloom as boost. Never using it alone.

https://www.hydrostork.com/ultimate-...ding-schedule/ Here's a chart that shows it clearly without the need to squint or use a magnifying glass

Although I posted my feed chart in another thread, we can see clearly what is happening here (when a component gets stopped etc...). Some asked what the numbers at the top mean? NPK! I feed once a week.
(click to enlarge)

I had problems with General Organics in the beginning always hitting a wall around 4th or 5th week of flower, where weird shit used to happen. After I switched to Remo, I never looked back. I am not shilling this product... it is simply what I use. Nothing more, nothing less.

Although we can see that my transition week (here) is week 8, that could be anything from 5 to 8, depending on the method I am growing. Summing up... grow gets eliminated at transition and Magnifical (Cal Mag I believe) is dropped at week 6, for the last 3 weeks. That is the only guess work on this chart where, I decision needs to be made, how far she is, and if not far enough, continue to feed (the rate of week 5) until the final push (last 3 weeks).

I have used this product for so long (relatively speaking) that I know if I continue to feed "extra weeks" when to stop. Of course a microscopic trich check confirms my suspicions Buds not leaves). FWIW, I hope this helps. YMMV!

Just wanna thank everyone for their response on this thread.
Started flushing and it seems like she got more then enough nutrients, especially N... still veeery green -.-
Also posting a sort of closeup on the top on my main bud.
What do you guys think about the tricomes? Ripe and rdy? Still giving it to the end of july for harvest.

Late comment..

Yea, about BioBizz nutrients and their N levels.
..i have started replacing some of the BioBizz Grow component with a Plagron PK 13/14 so that i can lower the Nitrogen levels enough.

The problem for marijuana growing with BioBizz is the high N level in flowering and the NPK levels of each bottle = Grow has most of the K so if you wanna drop the N level by using less Grow you will drop the K level as well. So i started to replace part of the Grow with Plagron PK13/14 (1:1 ratio) for the last weeks i give my plants nutrients and it worked great, the smoking product is much smoother.

. Also Cannabis plants do just fine with 40-50% of what BioBizz recommends in their feeding schedule.

Hi, you don`t need to stop fertilizing at least you want to save some nutes, don`t worry if it doesn`t fade to yellow, some plants do, some don`t. Flushing only works if you want to save nutes, doesn`t affect buds taste or quality if you fertilize well. Your plant is healthy, that is all you need to know.

My experience with autoflowers is strictly outdoors. But I have found the only way to grow a decent autoflower is with next to no N. The less rich the soil period the better they do. I get the best results with a silt, sand and compost mix with no amendments to speak of.
