didnt know where to ask this question. so I figured this is as gof a place as any.

how often do u feed ur outdoor ladies?

I think I need to feed my ladies more often this year because last year some of my flowers ended up fluffy and not as dense as I wanted.

So how far into flowering cycle should I be given em full strenght bloom nuts.

they have just started to grow there buds. mostly just hairs for now.

thx for some info on this.

My plants are not flowering yet but i feed once a week. It depends on the soil conditioning as i am growing outdoors but in a 5 gallon pot with coconut fiber, worm castings and vermiculite. I just feed with compost tea. For flowering nutes im going sugar peak weak solution to start then go full flavor after 4 weeks then just water for the last 2 weeks.

bump. I ment to say how often do u feed bloom nuts to ur outdoor ladies?

moonlight does affect cannabis plants but inducing them to flower a day or two sooner may be a max, try this experiment, leave a small nightlight on in your growroom and tell me if it affects timing, as opposed to totally dark growroom, I think that you'll find that it does

I use jacks bloom booster outdoors at 3/5 strength. I use it from the beginning of stretch until about 2-3 weeks before the plants are finished. That is all strain dependant of course. Some love food, some hate it. I had a lemon skunk that I gave plain water just about all year, fed it maybe twice during flowering with a real low dose. Sunlight plays a big factor for density of buds. IMVHO a couple of hours of direct hit sunlight isn't enough to produce dense buds. That I've learned from experience....

i agree with u bro..i have also learned that the hard way..u need at least 5hrs of direct sunlight to have hard nugs..i prefer 6-7 of direct per day as i have found my plants get like rocks with that amount of direct sunlight..sometimes u gotta risk a little bit of security to get that extra light depending on where u are growing but IME it is well worth it..i hate getting those big airy buds!

Curious -
If the photo-period isn't a specific figure, and it appears that plants time their growth based upon relative amount of light/dark from when they started (vegging as the amount of day increases usually from spring into summer, and flowering (+pre-flowering) as the amount of day starts to decrease (summer into fall towards winter)...........

Do you suppose it would be possible to get some seeds started once the amount of day begins to increase (after winter solstice), provided I was in a climate where frost was not a concern? Would there be any benefit, besides potentially greater vegetative growth before the flowering cycle begins?

IMHO "finishing times" are extremely subjective especially when indica and/or hybrid cultivars are involved. One person may be perfectly happy with mostly clear trichomes another milky and of course med users amber. The later being most difficult without mold outdoors.

Assuming all factors are the same strain/weather conditions/lat etc. One person at the same latitude as another may be able to "finish" a strain to his liking while another would be dissatisfied.

Then there are people who plant clones which generally finish a few weeks faster than their seed plant counterpart.

On the other side of the fence are the huge plant/tree growers. Larger plants tend to start flowering later than the same strain or even sister clone. I've seen it happen, one large and small plant both from the same clone mother planted in the same location. The small one flowers 2-3 weeks sooner than the big one.

All of the above reasons are why finishing times can be off by significant margin in the outdoor strain guide thread. Of course this is assuming you can find the strain and similar latitude to compare with.
