Central NY grow….first time (Brothers Grimm genetics)

@cannabiscrusader @alphapinene nice, glad we’re all at similar stages in flower. I’m not to far from you both….in the Ballston Spa/Amsterdam area. What do you both think….should I do one more week of grow nutes or start flower nutes? I plan on just sticking with the Advance Nutrient feeding schedule for this run…i want to do more research on organic dried amendments before I use it. Don’t fix what isn’t broken you know lol.

glad to have some fellow NY growers close by, that’s a nice area! I would stick with it if it’s working, no need to change!! I actually just started feeding flowering nutrients at 1/4 strength and they seem to have responded well, i’m in Roots Lush soil tho which is highly amended. If you do start flowering nutrients maybe try 1/4-1/2 strength and see how they do

Heard that, I think I’m going to do one more week of veg nutes then switch over to flower but I’ll keep that in mind. On Advanced Nutrient’s grow schedule for flower you go right into full strength bloom…half strength may be the way to go though. How do you fend off bud rot and mold in the flowering season….im starting to worry about everything that comes with this season.

Sounds good, yeah see how they look before you feed em flowering nutes, they may want the full strength, but yah half could never hurt..
i’m starting to get anxious too! Try to keep the budworms caterpillars off, they seem to be a big culprit for budrot as they eat their way out of buds from the inside out, while leaving a trail of shit behind that causes mold. People use B.T.k (Monterey is good) which is 100% organic and can use till the day of harvest. It’s a bacterium, that when ingested by the caterpillars, stops their metabolism and they die. you would have to spray the leaves/buds every week or two, it breaks down in sunlight and washes away with rain. This would be prime time to start (as a matter of fact I should). Also try to keep the buds as dry as possible. Shake off the morning dew/set up oscillating fans if you could to dry em off quick. Also it helps if the plants get good morning sun to evaporate the dew.
