Yeah using less is always nice. They are not badly priced either. I think the bases are only like $40 a gallon, and if I don't need to add more than 5ml/gal should last a while.

Nice, my buddy just got some 818 headbands going. I'm definitely going to try and get some cuts. I have to get on him about labeling clones, he tends to be sloppy with that. "Um these ones came from that one, I think"so on and so on...haha

Started flowering this group last Friday, so this would be about 5 days into flower. They are fully recovered from the N toxicity and look good, just not as perky as I would like but I am sure they will get there. I put up the 2nd cargo net about 16" above the first one and they are already growing through it. I hope the extra veg time doesn't result in the buds getting too close to the lights.

The Nutes/Tea/water feeding schedule is working out well, and I have been going half strength on the NFTG bases(Medusa Magic & Gaia Mania).

Girls looking very good and healthy. The NFTG looks like some good stuff. Is it organic? Looking for a good organic line really organic not like Fox Farm

It is supposedly all organic, and i guess a lot of Bioags Ful-Power is incorporated in their products. I'm definitely getting faster growth than I did when using Roots and General Organics, hell even faster than the synthetics I was running in veg. I think the lack of salt based fertilizer is allowing my microbial life to really thrive.

Ok that's wassup. The hydro store by my house doesn't carry it so I'll have to buy it online. I'll ask them if they will think about carrying it as I'm sure it would sell pretty good since it's organic.

The lack of salts will def help the microbial life thrive more as I'm sure salts does damage to it

I would shoot them an email. I know they have been sending out these same sample boxes if you pay the shipping cost. It's like $100 box of stuff retail, so pretty good deal.

I'm blown away. I don't know if the stress from the toxicity played a role or what.
Looking good bro. Were those ladies in preflower already? Mines at day 9 look very similar but I didn't go through any N toxicity and they don't look as far as yours.

Have this pheno of yours flowered this fast before on other nutes?

Yeah they did have preflowers.

No I've never had it develop this fast before, but this was also the first time that I have had a deficiency or toxicity before with the 818. She usually can handle pretty high ppms, so even having an N issue was surprising.

The preflowers helped but honestly I just think it's the nutes. I have been reading up on them and most people who use them are loving them better than Fox Farm and Roots Organic.

Oh and I looked at their site and these are almost 100% organic too. They use a lil bit of something that's not organic which allows them to not be classified as truly organic but it's very very close to being 100% organic. I emailed them to about samples haven't heard anything back yet tho. I hope I do would love to try these nutes.

I use NFTG pro line and there #4 soil mix has worked wonders for me growing under a DE hps lamp. they are not considered organic because they use mineral base calcium sources along with carbon based sources to be omri you have to be 100% carbon based. this nute lineup is calcium based and calcium is used by the plant for cell division which equates bigger flowers, stalks, ect. I flush once a month with HH and there ph up

I emailed them like you said and they're gonna be sending me a sample pack out. Just been waiting for them to quote me a shipping price. Looking forward to trying this line

Well I emailed them back cus it had been over a week since they asked for my address for a shipping quote and I got a response saying that my sample pack had already been shipped out.

Each month they choose a few people to ship sample packs for free and I was chosen last month yay!!! I'm excited to try this line since I'm using soil again. They recommend not to use Fox Farms or Roots Organics with NFTG cus they don't go well with their calcium based products. Advises SS#4, ProMix or Black Gold. I just bought a few bags of Just Right Xtra Potting Mix and I like it better than Fox Farms and Roots. We shall see how this line works with it.

Sorry I have been extremely busy lately.

Well I am still trying to dial this line in.

I went from an overdose in veg to a slight deficiency in flower. I think I am just going to up the bases to a full tbl/gal for the next two nutrient waterings.

I also picked up the liquid fish bone (Triton's Trawl), which has been in the last few tea feedings.

Halfway through though and the flowers are right on track for size and development. Smell is much sweeter than usual though.
