Can you extend the length of the bloom cycle by staying on a 30-30-30 type of nutes?

Hey trainwrecked, 30-30-30 isn't good at all for bloom. Way too much N for that late in the grow and even when flushed for two weeks may wind up still having a terrible taste. There isn't a lot you can do to extend the bloom, it is genetics. You can try and drag out the harvest a bit by letting the trichs amber up or you can do a two part harvest. Basically taking the upper layer of flowers that have ripened properly then lower your light and let the lowers swell and ripen. That will generally give you an extra two weeks or so of additional growth on the lowers and allow them to swell up a bit more.
Up to this point i found the plants have responded better to a full fertilizer balance. I am getting to the last 3 weeks on 3 of my plants and was curious if sticking with it would keep them going longer. I am down to my last 2 feeds. I am outdoors also. Should have noted that in the beginning. My apologies.
Joedirt that is what I will probably do. Waiting for the pistils to turn red which should be any day now.
