Definitely one of the worst looking grows I have had in a while as far as everything being lush. Still happy with the flower formation though. I think the next run with Nector I am going to use Bushido Stash from All Day Organics at half strength for some added Nitrogen throughout flower.

Flower Tent B just had the next group put in. It's 7 818 headbands and 1 Ghost OG. They have all been on the Nector line combined with my tea. Much better looking then this current group in the journal, definitely getting dosage rate dialed in finally. Going to lollipop and trellis them today.

I am also starting to think that the extra veg time on the current group may be causing a root bound issue. I have upped my N, but I'm still seeing yellowing. I am just going to ride it out though, but I know the flowers will inevitably be affected.

Sounds like you diagnosed right. Extra veg time can cause root bounds issues you may not normally see. You know your pheno so I'm sure the next run will be better. Im using the line too on my testers I'm running and I can see what you mean about trying to get it dialed in. I've been using the early veg feed chart so and havent upped any yet and won't until a couple more weeks. Don't stress too much bro you grow great and can't wait to see the SinMints

Week 8

Yeah definitely dealing with root bound issues. luckily it's just a slight droop and a little yellowing. They are still drinking just as much as usual and flower development seems normal.

I'll see if I can dig up any old photos of my 818, but the flowers definitely have more trich production and are a lighter color than usual.

Week 9

Everything is hardening up nicely. For my last few watering I will alternate between pure RO water, and a Herculean Harvest+Sea Green+Aphrodite Extraction feeding.

All I gotta say is I'm sold on Nector. Yield was down slightly, but I'm gonna say that's due to the root bound issues. The smell,taste, and smoothness of the flowers is on another level. Color is also more light green compared to past 818 crops.

Looking awesome bro job well done. By the end results you have here I'm sold on the line too and I've been using the sample pack I got on my test strain and it's doing wonders. Can't wait to see the end results with it. I'm glad your reporting smell and taste is still there cus I've heard a lot of people complain about the smell being lost when using the flush method the feeding chart states to do but lots of them weren't us my the Tritons flowering booster either so that may be why smell and taste was a lil lacking but I'll see for myself once I finish this test run

Be careful with the khaos once you start putting it in the water. I got Ca deficiency real quick this week, because I didn't use enough demeters as they recommend.

Good look on that tip bro. I haven't started using it in the water yet but I've heard a few people say when your using the Bloom Khoas you have to use more Herculean Harvest to help with that but I've been using a tad more Demeters Destiny just to prevent that.
