You have written "Dense buds my ass... More light strength, watch temps and/or run more fresh air into the grow! "

I have written "All it comes down to is Light, Airflow, Nutrients, Temperature, Roots. 5 basic recipes for either success or disaster."

It's a figure of speech.

Alright bud, you do you. I'll do me. Post the end results of your plants and lets compare.

I still don't see lier on that post, hmm?

You wrote "I'd recommend investing in some PK 13/14."

You did mention the other factor's ! I stopped at the P&K and posted - My bad! Pardon me on that one!

BUT! I still say that P&K boosters do more harm then good.....Especially when most around here have trouble popping beans or taking clones! Your not giving advise to people with the skills to actually make it work IN a positive way! Even then, I still say you simply don't NEED it to get the best you can get!

Ever use humboldt honey? That's basically what my mixture is.

Just as the human body hosts beneficial bacteria in the digestive system, plants must host microbial life in their root zone to ensure proper digestion, growth and health. Plants feed mycorrhizal and bacterial organisms near their root zone with carbohydrates. This is the symbiotic relationship between plants and micro organisms.

When a plant goes into a fruiting cycle they immediately divert sugars and carbohydrates from their root zone to their fruiting bodies.

As the plant naturally channels carbohydrates to new flowers, buds, and fruits, the microbial life in the root zone suffers and starves.


This is why I use a heavy carb and sugar feed in flower. It continually feeds the microbes.

Microbes FEED your plants. Sugar and carbs FEED your microbes!

It's the balance of life, you should learn it.

No and I don't use synthetic's at all. You don't need to attempt to "school" me on how "living" soil works......Humboldt ain't the "shit" either.....They've had to answer for having CANCER CAUSING compounds in their nutrients......I see a lot of attempting to make their products "look" and "work" more organic. They still are synthetic!

How about using a simple Bio Tea and quit attempting to feed a seriously synthetic shrunken/damaged micro heard! Adding back actual living and healthy Bios will do even more then your "Super Sugar Slamming Plant Breakfast"....:mrgreen: ....for your plants!!!

I hope your learning something as that's all I'm trying to do here is teach something, OK?

Ironic that if you google "when should I feed my plants sugar" the 1st 2 pages are all pot forum links except 3 which are regular gardening links

The regular garden links ALL condemn the use of sugar over all but do present times when it can be beneficial such as transplant shock

The biggest reality presented via actual botany is that it changes the osmotic pressure of water

Adding sugar water to plants typically harms them or stunts their growth. The roots of most plants are not designed to absorb sugar; plants generally make all the sugar they need through photosynthesis. Sugar water lowers the osmotic potential of water located in the soil, making water less available to plants. This is because water potential in plants must be lower than the water potential in the soil to allow water to flow from the soil into the plant.

Lots of actual science studies done that show it stunts growth and reduces biomass

I have never understood the need that pot growers have to ignore actual botany

@Dr. Who has some valid points and I believe is trying to help you avoid spending coin on unnecessary BS. But with all due respect @Thc247 said it best they look happy just keep doing what you're doing. It's easy as hell to get caught up into trying improve but remember your current recipe is what got you this far. Just my two cents. I wish you luck.

I like, I like!

Yet, Kelp extract is the the EASIEST and LEAST costly thing to do with the greatest payback in addition to your regular nutrient line!

Fox farm's big bloom is already packed with kelp guano and ewc. You can always add more though, or better yet compliment it with an amino aid

How will I know when to flush for the last time ?
And also do I need to buy any extras for the curing process ?

Blows my mind anyone would argue with the dr. He's proven himself more than knowledgable time and time and time again. Yet member(s) on their first grow is calling him buddy and saying he's wrong...smh


Just because in your group of friends that don't grow you may know mare than all of them, this isn't the playground. There are members here that I will never know as much as and I've been at it for 14 years
