Not to dredge the whole feed vs flush vs low-nutes feed-flush-hybrid-combo discussion up again, but by question is:
Will the buds ripen and trichomes become amber if there is abundant nutrients (given no other changes like light or temp), or does the lack (completely, or reduced) of nutrients play decisive role in ripening and triggering amber trichomes?
I am on week 9 of Super Skunk still giving the regular feeding, but no fade (everything is still lush), calyx's swollen, pistils brown/curling, and still milky but no amber trichomes, etc. The vicious circle:
I want to start (for the flushers) flush or (for the non-flushers) chop, but feel the buds are not quite ripe (no amber trichomes), so I keep on feeding.
Which gives the plants nutrients to keep on growing, and not fade/ripen properly.
Which means I keep on feeding.
Which gives the plants nutrients to keep on growing, and not fade/ripen properly.
Which means I keep on feeding.
