Quick question about bloom nutes
Hey everyone, so I have a question regarding the feeding schedule of my girls. From what I have read on different websites if you feed bloom nutes just after a plant shows its sex it will cause the plant to finish earlier. I understand that the yield would also be affected by this. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried this and knows how much the yield will be reduced.
The reason I as is that I might be moving to another country soon so I would like to finish my girls a little sooner. If I did switch now at week 4 how long would you expect it to be before I can harvest?
I'm not sure if I will do this yet so I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks

I hope Muddy'll pipe in, cause he will def know the details, but..
Switching to bloom nutes will up P and K in the plant, which starts a bio response in the plant to go from "veg/Grow" to "Flowers/Trichs", so it'll slow/stop veg, and speed up flowering. The yield hit is on reduced size of plant, less development of pre- bud sites, and less stretch- that can cause a light penetration problem... I've not heard of a % lost in yield, but at week 4, on a plant that would yield 4 oz, it could cost 1/2 oz, I'd guess. That guess is from mistakes I made that affected one plant over an other- no science, really.. Gut feeling.
Now, let's let a guru grade my test... lolol
Staying in the UK, Dude? I sometimes wish Canada would peacefully invade my State..

Thanks Wax, I'm really not sure yet. All the girls seem to be developing bud sights at the moment. The amnesia haze 1 is about 16inches tall and the other 2 are at about 13inches. I think I will give them all one more round of grow notes which will take them into the middle of next week as I only just fed them. That should give them a little more time to get some height on them to allow for better light penatration.
I will be moving from Ireland back home to England. Haven't got an exact date yet but I wanna leave Ireland on a high lol.

I flowered my 2nd Purple Kush photo grow when they were 16"-switched nutes 3 days before 12/12, and they ended up 28"- moderately LST'd-and harvested 8 days ahead of the original schedule. I got a solid pound of bud from the 4 of them-buds hard as week old sheep shit, too lolol
Question, if I may: So, moving Ganja about in the UK... Is there Customs between UK countries? Or, do you have easy movement throughout the British Isles? In the States, we used to be able to cross to Canada with an ID. Now, a passport is required. 9/11 afterthought, evidently...
Sending some preparation :karma Cloud:, Bro!

Moving weed around the UK is no problem at all if your only going between England, Scotland or Wales as there is no border at all. Not so sure you could get away with it between northern Ireland England as I have never taken that ferry so I'm not sure what the security is like. I live in the Republic of Ireland so I have to go through immigration to get into England. I will be going via ferry and there is a lot less security at ferry borders but I don't plan on taking that risk. It depend on how much I have at the time I suppose haha. I have taken weed to France on the ferry before and didn't have a problem. I'm gonna really have to smoke it up hard to get through everything I get from this grow haha
Finally fixed a problem
As I said before the yellowing of leaves had returned to my girls but I have finally found the source of the problem. Over the past few days I had have been noticing some of the leaves had been sweating, especially the new growth just under the top fan leaves and this sweat has been causing them to burn. Due to my earlier difficulty controlling temperature I was putting 3 frozen water bottles in the closet to keep it cool, however this came back to bite me in the ass. The melting ice caused a lot of condensation on the outside of the bottles which was pooling behind my girls so I didnt notice it. This excess water in the closet has been causing the grow area to get very humid (something I have been neglecting to measure). This humidity has been causing the plants the problems I believe. So simple solution, I removed the bottles haha. We have had some rare hot weather here recently but luckily this is going away as autumn has arrived so I dont really need to cool the closet now.
Checking on the girls this morning they looked much happier and dryer.
