:hug:'Ello luv!...luvies, that is...
How are you and Chander's doing? Pardon the lapses, I just can't seem to get any slack taken up! I'm just 1T of frosting over a whole sheet of cake these days-- :roflcry: ...speaking of which, you, GF, should be plying your confectioners skills at someplace professionally! Have you thought of doing this, working at a bakery/specialty chocolate store? I say you've got the goods! -that wonderful looking snack is pro' grade presentation!
Complete with a caramel drizzle, and coco nib's too? And a coffee bean?? I'm literally salivating,...LOL! Sooo cruel to be kind...

Ah! Some new nute's,... good stuff, and any girl still at least a couple weeks or so out would love a taste! I'll pop in at the grow thread later, and see what's happening,... meantime, start at half strength recommended for "container" plants, just to ease into it,... As for N, a steady 10 isn't what I meant, that'd be fine for treating a N starved girl, but not on a every time basis during blooming,... You have to take into consideration just how big the plant is, and the respective demand for N,.. how much bud she's building, vs. your input; I use SG bloom too, and my Winter girls were small, so during the prime-time bud building they got a little extra N (grow fromula) every 3rd round of fertilizing, then none extra the final 3-4 weeks, for example... Avoid using fish goo during bloom,... I hear the fishy stank can make for funky flavors... maybe early on in bloom would be okay, but I've not tried,.. I use my fish goo during veg' only... most are 5-1-1, so aren't a complete fert, by themselves, but do have lots of amino acids and other stuff in it that both plant and soil herd love! Frequency varies with what I see the girls are doing, but a general pattern is to fert' 1-2 times a week, depending on how much straight water they got meantime,... there's so much variation in how peep's do this, and there's more than one "right" way to go about it,.... since SG is pretty conc. if I fert' twice a week, it's usually not at full strength on smaller plants.. my outdoor photos will get full power, but they're bigger and eating more, see what I mean? ... Now, the transition time when switching from grow to bloom food is more about what the plant is doing, and that can depend a lot on the strain,... (I've had plants stretch quite a bit, and others slammed on the vertical growth brakes not long after early crowns form)....generally, most folks keep giving grow nute's for a little while after the first fuzzy bud crowns form,.... how much the plant stretches during this time is part of that strain variability (sativa's tend to leg-out more, indica's less so, generally!),... I usually start making an even blend about this stage until about half way through bloom, then I start bloom only, barring any occasional extra N inputs, if needed,... this way, you cover the bases enough to keep the plant happy without all the micromanaging! Sorry, I can't give specific time numbers, because it's just to variable to make accurate generalizations! Maybe some others with years more experience than I have can do this,....:dunno: ..Anyway, I hope this helps! Gotta get goin here, but I'll catch you soon Mz. W! :tiphat:
