Bud swell

[KnowTheGrow]

Do the buds continue to swell after week 5? I read the swell phase is from 3-5 weeks and after that is ripening. I'm halfway through week 5, switched from cal mag to mag sulfur. My buds aren't too big and I was just trying to gauge what my yield will be. Thanks.

They'll continue to swell (if grow goes well) almost right up until the end.

agree with Campesino. some strains will give a whopper swelling just when you think it's time to harvest .

Cannabis really likes both calcium and magnesium and doesn't need a lot of sulfur. I'd suggest sticking with cal mag right up to the end. If you decide to stay with Epsom salts (I'm guessing), do keep an eye out for brown spots on the leaves, especially if your water is low in minerals.

I'm using mag amped and a sweetener
