Hey @jeffsos3000 , I use Cal Mag, and just add it to my standard nutrient mix (never had an issue). I use the Canna line up btw. I am a total newb, so you may want to consult with a more experienced grower that knows the type of nutes you are using, but I am fairly sure you just mix it in with your normal nutrient solution. I mix the Cal Mag in first, then the A+B, then the additives etc etc....

Peace brother

well thanks for the info man, i was assuming that you would just mix it up with the rest of your nutes in the water. despite having a little slight yellowing on some of my leaves it hasnt seemed to have gotten any worse at all, but i did notice that my bloom nutes contain magnesium, so maybe thats all it needed. but since i ordered cal mag, ill mix some up when it arrives and give it a blast anyway. pot is getting really light this evening, so thinking ill be watering in the morning when i get home from work. dont have the cal mag yet but ill give it another shot of bloom nutes. i can swear i can see my buds filling out a little more every day, though there nowhere near thos big chunky bulbs i usually see. but still has time,ha ha

yes! i have read through that thread and i have actually been using it as a guide for this grow. seems to be working for me so far. i was especially glad to read about the plant finishing past the breeders date. so im hoping itll go to the 10th or 11th week for sure.

im also planning to use the water curing technique for this plant harvest as well, everything i read about it seems absolutly perfect for my application. much much smoother smoke and little to know scent just screams awesome to me, and such a simple technique. i dont really care if my yield weight ends up being lower due to the process since its not like im selling the stuff. but since im a newb, the water cure just seems so simple and easy, so im looking forward to attempting it and seeing how it turns out. soaking in water for 9 days changing the water out daily and drying in a dehydrator just seems to simple, ha ha.

 

[jeffsos3000]

alright well i promised a proper update with lots of pics so here it is, plant is at 8 weeks and 3 days today. looking pretty good to me though im really hoping my budy fatten up, im not seeing that chunky goodness that i see in everyone elses pics ha ha. not yet anyway. alsi i have noticed that some of the pistols on the top of canopy are starting to change to orange. though nowhere near 70 or 80 percent on the the plant as a whole yet. can anyone speculate a ball park time frame on how much longer these buds will have to grow before a leter harvest for couch lock stone? just kind of curious, id love to get a couple more weeks out of her if possible, hopefully the buds will have time to grow larger and fatten up.
theres quite a few pics here, i was going to put them into thumbnail format but i prefer the size of full image. so sorry for all the pic scrolling ha ha.
and as always, chim in with feed back and support if ya want, im always checking this thread.

 

[jeffsos3000]

oh also im thinking im going to continue feeding with bloom nutes right up until harvest, i know technically your supposed to flush for a week or so, but since im going to be going the water cure route ive heard its not necessary to flush swince the water cure pulls all thet stuff from the plant material. so my hope is that the extra bloom nute time will help with bud production right up to the end. but if im wrong on this please let me know.

I think you still have some time for bud fattening. Leaves are looking mighty green and if im not mistaken close to the end the cola leaves start yellowing more. Ive read about a couple of grows wear the last 3 weeks buds become more puff. As to water curing I am very intrested to check your result. Id be scared sh*tless to soak my bud in water.
