Grow Mediums 5gal DWC Cream Mandarine 400watt tent grow

[Kozminski]

when i start to see flowers forming, i like to start alternating feedings between Grow and Bloom nutes for a couple/few weeks, until the vertical growth stops, then just Bloom nutes. this seems to help me keep the plants greener in later stages of growth. but i grow organic in soil (with General Organic liquid nutrients), and not hydro, so there is usually still some nutrients hanging out in the soil for the plant to take whatever it wants.

when i do photo plants, i will usually switch to Bloom nutes right when i flip to 12/12. unless i see some premature yellowing, or a deficiency or something, then i might give a dose of Grow or a mixture of Grow and Bloom.

but, i've only been growing for a few years. i'm still learning and modifying my style, experimenting a little bit here and there to see what works.

in my opinion, there really is no "wrong" way, as long as you get quality buds at the end! some methods may work better than others, but to each their own.
i've even done seed to harvest with just cheap all-purpose 10-15-10 plant food, when i had no money for better products. it probably wasn't ideal, but i got some decent home-grown out of it! still cost me less per gram than if i had to buy it from someone else.

...just my "My 2 cents"

Update---approx day 41

Hello Everyone..........busy day today....the wife and I went balls out and finally got the 110cm sativa pheno tied back.....also raised the indica pheno with a crate to get more light to it..............things are looking good.........
The first top view is of the indica pheno.....The second top view is the sativa pheno

....................The others pics are of the tent after we tied back the monster sativa and lifted the indica up a bit for more light...................... btw...the indica pheno is 55cm tall and 61 cm wide!:dance2:

I totally agree with you on the reasoning for keeping the grow nutes going after flowering has begun....so it doesnt yellow too soon!...but I have to say that switching nutes to flowering early on doesnt seem to have any effect on the height......IMO!...Also a firm believer in "what works for you" you should keep it up!..........I have also pulled some pretty decent buds from super cheap low quality plant food......just gotta get a REAL good flush in the end...........once again Thanks for stopping in and commenting........LOADS OF :karma Cloud: on your grow! :tiphat::thank:

ok.....CM#1 end day 57..monster sativa pheno......had to take some tops of her on end day 54 because she outgrew the tent and was burning on the light.....had to sacrifice a few of the TOP buds early for the better of the whole!.......anyways.........here she is about 15 minutes ago..

will get some better pics of her when lights are off next...these really dont do justice
