I feel you man.....i know it sounds way out there but to be honest..... it was the search of what to do at the end of my first grow that lead me to find
@RM3. To flush, to not flush, to use a finisher....etc. I didn't boil my first run...or even my second but I ran the same plants the third time and boiled to see i could tell a difference. There was a difference....I saw the same characteristics that RM3 talks about. Seeing the plant pull from the sources after the boil is awesome to watch as well kickstarting the fermentation process at the same time. Keeping the plants green til the end and happy is the key to getting the plant to grow to its full potential.
Give it a shot....if you like it....then you have some new things to play with......if not...... at least you gave it a shot and now have a justified reason to talk shit
My light is a MarsII 700w (

Pot size will only do so much for you unless you give the plant enough time to fill it up with roots....healthy roots. What size pots are you running? Ive found any pot over 5 gallons inside, unless you are vegging for an extended amount of time, is more than enough. Ive actually been moving down a bit in size.....im running some in #1 and #2 pots and I like the #2's a lot so far.
