    Default Suggested flowering times and nutrient schedules

    Little unsure of this so want to find out the correct and definitive answer.

    i know they are only guidelines and external gactorss can alter the flowering times that certain strains are suggested having. But when following nutrient schedules do they consider week 1 as the first week that follows flipping your lights to 12/12 or the first week following seeing that they have entered the flowering phase by showing visible signs?

    So so tomorrow It will be exactly 4 weeks since I flipped, but only about 2 or so since they started to show signs. Am I following the feeding schedule as per week 2 or 4?

    Regards

    the first day of flower is the day you start 12-12
    so you are on week 4 of the feeding schedule,

    true flower is for finishing times rather than the feeding schedule,


    it's best to add the additional days as the flush at the end since it's 10-14 days

    Perfect thanks for your answer mate.

    When you say add the additional days to the end what do you mean?

    lets say the breeders say it's done in 70 days,
    i add the 10-14 days flush ontop so it's now finished on day 84

    it's always best to give them an extra 10-14 days
    it allows for the flushing and onset of flowers

    Ah I’m with you now 👌🏻 I don’t actually follow the suggested finishing times I let the plants tell me when they are ready to flush but I just didn’t know about the feeding schedules mainly.

    Thanks man

    i have a smaller veg space & bigger flower space, so it's best i have a rough week finish, usually day 60-90 of 12-12
    indica always finish quicker so i can pop new seeds faster
