MaxSea and CalMag... with the rare addition of some molasses. Its just the same as my outdoor really.
I may switch line ups down the road, from what I've read MaxSea does better outdoors.

how much Maxsea & epsom to a gallon ? do you check the ppm ? and how many times a week are you feeding ?

Where did you read the pros & cons of maxsea vs indoor & outdoor ? I've been doing ok with it but not sure if it's the right cup of tea though. Easy as shit though. I have had a lock out issue the end of this last run but that's my fault for some reason or another. I might cut the maxsea dose in half down to like 500 ppm and feed every watering or full strength feed / water / water / full feed . Think I got a lot of salt build up this time. Changing my nutes isn't the fix til I figure out a feeding schedule but I might be circleing back to the Flora Nova series.

Your plants look Phatt though. Are they staying green ? are you using just the bloom ?

Yeah just bloom now, 1 Tbsp of Maxsea and 5mL CalMag per gallon. I recently bought digital Ph meter, and to my suprise found out my mix is at 5.2. I adjusted the Ph to 6.2
But I haven't used ppm or ec reader.
I started hearing about possible salt problems from one of your post and a post from garlictrain a while back. Ill wait for there to be a prob, before i switch to something else.I still have 3 big buckets from outdoor season.
They look really happy to be out of the gh and finally flowering for real. It was like a 3 week stalemate with the sun in mid November.

Cool cool.. Keeping it simple is always good.

Do you use RO water? Indoor/outdoor?

Tws, ive seen/grew some A+ nug (apollo or mothers finest) out of foxfarm soil, tapwater and floranova bloom by itself. But im leaning towards genetics being the ultimate answer. And beginners luck. Lol

I would drop the maxsea for inside it is easy to use but so are the others try the general hydro micro and bloom no need for the veg old school but it works great and is super easy or there organic line I use both .The organic line takes some time to play with not as easy as the chem line but once dialed shit is great some of the most flavor packed weed I've smoked.I am going sauce against sauce to see what comes out better I am using the og kush secret sauce mix against the organic line at my ratios, dead even at the moment .I am testing them on the Gsc, and the bty og a.Things are looking good though gb have not been on for awhile I was suprised there was as much activity on the outdoor forum still, keep it green.

Nothing against maxsea it works it looks like the stuff I use on my lawns -the green powder.I tried it once and had excessive salt build up it got things growing very quickly then ran into problems ,was trying it side by side against puravida and ended up tossing the maxsea was not impressed once again not trying to talk shit just sharing my experience with the fertilizer

Thanks CF, for confirming my thoughts on it indoors. I ran the Lucas Micro & bloom method . It worked but I thought it could of been better. I will probably go back to Flora Nova series.

I've had salt build ups and burns with regular generic granule nutrients. With soluble stuff I've never had a problem, and I find they are easier to measure, although I don't really use a formula or a high a volume as all you fat cats. I'm using some miraclegro shit because it has a NPK ratio of 18 - 26 - 15 and I really like that, works real good with the stuff I've grown.

I'm finally starting to get some stank out in the shop. I thought one of my sealed outdoor bud totes had opened, after a short walk around I figured that it was wafting from the indoor room (:


Cherry Pie starting to frost.



And my half ass mama/veg room. I need to get another T5 and another stack of plywood... like asap. The BBQ clones are doing good. Special thanks to @TWS @angryblackman @doubletake @Kase for some fresh genetics to work with :weed:Thanks a bunch guys :bigjoint:

Do you guys think it's too late in the winter season to start a small grow like this? Will the go back to veg before they are done budding if I only veg them for a month ? Thanks
