now that was a good read indeed, thank you for quoting it.

but now to state my point again, it appears to still be very well in the growing and developing phase! for whatever reason ..

checked multiple budsites with the loupe and nearly ALL are translucent, the trichomes that is.

no idea what is going on with these plants, not even milky and they seems to fatten up and fatten up ..

There I can not help you. I grew AF's 7 years ago, and did it wrong (was feeding miracle grow in hydro). It all turned out like crap. So I am not one to help with them. Aridbud is an expert on them.

I think you are growing in soil, which takes a much better grower, since you do not have direct control over the feed, and have to be able to read the plants. I suck at that. I was growing GG4 which is clone only, so genetically identical, unlike growing from seeds, which could have thousands of phenotypes. Everyone harvests at 60-70 days. With photos you start counting from when you flip the lights to 12/12. You do not have that exact number of days of flowering with AF's, since light change does not effect them.

Some one could chime in about when you start counting "days". With clones and others, it is not from day the pop through soil, but when they start to crank, to count days of veg. Veg days are not counted in the 60 - 70 days to flower. People keep track to keep plants a certain size, and schedule when to flower.

I think that article I posted said that too much nitrogen would postpone and diminish flowering.

Read this entire post when you have time. Stitch is brilliant, and this is the best guide I have seen. If something is not answered, at least it points you to what you need to look for with google.

Ive done loads of Autos with varying rates of success. The best results I had was when I put them into a good soil with added bat shit, blood n bone meal and worm castings. I only ever fed them a couple of times with cal mag. Autos are usually light feeders and need to be treated a little different to photos. Its best to start them in their finale pot instead of starting in small pots, otherwise they can become a bit stunted.
Also too much nitrates can cause the plants to bloom slower and even stop if too toxic.
Id personally stop feeding as there's enough left in the leaves and soil and like everyone else says just take it when it looks done.
I do think your nutrient regime has slowed the plants vigour.
Good luck

thanks for the input, so i guess if nothing much changed by mid of the month just start flushing her.

Id start flushing now, it doesn't look to far off and it depends on how you like your meds. A 3 week flush in soil is perfect, ime
You definitely wanna see fading in the leaves and if you keep feeding you'll delay this. Like I said there's still plenty for its needs in the plant and soil as plants store food and in later stages hold onto the carbohydrates and sugars and stop feeding the microbes in the root zone. So only thing ever to add last stages is sugars in the form of Cain molasses to feed the root colonies.
Good luck

is this actually a valid statement? makes sense as in nothing to consume from the leaves but what do you guys say?

[Mr Jay]

Nope, that is complete and total bullshit.

oki doki the dear lady is just treated with 10ltr of water mixed with 20ml of CANNA FLUSH,
let's rinse her thoroughly and just water from now!
