Gravity Flower Hardener

Yeah, true... But unless you're looking to sell, weight shouldn't even be an issue, quality should be the top priority.

If you'd rather eat a cheesburger from McD's full of preservatives, go for it, to each his own.

So should everyone stop watering there plants with tap water or well water? Tap water and well water has Iron, Mag, Sulp, all kinds of trace minerals in it. These trace minerals are everywhere. BUT.. They are not in R/O water, because you filtered them out with all the BS you did not want. NOW you need to add them back,, Hmmmm, oh well.. shit happens.....

I live in an area I will not drink the water, and really do not even want to shower in it, but I have to.

Trace minerals are trace minerals, no matter where you get them. And what I have read about Gravity, it has kelp Extract and B-1 vitamin.


Please do not get me to try and pee on my plants.

But even then, I do my best to keep it organic now. But I am not going to go over board.

I will take my R/O water any day of the year. At least in this area of the world.

Just as a note MrHowardMarks, I just got my bottle of Gravity, If I do not like the taste, I wll be screaming bloody murder in a few weeks on this thread. But until then I want to have an open mind about this product.

I am all about quality, screw the yield if need be.

 

[MrHowardMarks]

I'm not a poop addict, I definately agree that trace elements are necessary, I actually use micro calmag and overdrive in my organic regiment, making it not fully organic. But using ro water, I found it's necessary.

My sister lives in a really heavy sulfur well water area, sucks, smells like rotten eggs. I'm lucky to have just moved in an area with great water, 100-110 ppm. I still plan on using the ro though.

I've never said anything bad about Gravity, actually saw an increase in yield, but it didn't smoke as good. It was a huge garden, and might have had a little to do with not being able to tend to all of the plants as well as it could have been done, 25#s is a shitload of work.

Good luck with the Gravity, but be careful with it, dilute the hell out of it.

 

[MrHowardMarks]

Should've ranted earlier, Dr. Hornby's Big Bud is the shit, increase in resin, bud sites, and girth. If you aren't using it, you should definately try it out.

I already had trouble with the BushMaster, and still have some people that bash me over that crop. I already figure I will start at about 15-20% strength and see what happens, then build to 40% and stop. This crop that is going now is only 4 plants. The next crop to meet harvest time is my Clone to Flowering stage, with no vegging at all. but there are more plants. It was summer timer here. very hot. so I could not grow a lot of plants. to high of elect bill. I already pay $250 more dolars a month for my crops in my power bill.

During the winter, I pay Zero dollars for my crops in power.. well pretty close to zero dollars.

 

[Lord Dangly Bits]

Sorry, I made you think I was not useing Big BUD. I also use flouralishes PLUS.

 

[MrHowardMarks]

Sounds like you're on the right track, I've gotten stuck into a regiment that works for me, it the Advanced Nutrients organics with a tweak including micro, calmag, bigbud, and overdrive.

I used the Purple Maxx on two plants that are less than a week now from finishing. With the Purple Maxx I did notice a substantial increase in trichome production. I used it at almost the recommended dose for two waterings, with a plain watering in between. It did put purple streaks in the leaves of one plant, but it looked like a very unnatural, bright purple like something that was painted on, I didn't notice any change in the color of the buds. It yellowed the leaves on both plants but didn't burn them, and they got better within a few days.

I used gravity on one of the same plants so I could compare it to the other one. I watered with 5ml/gal and gave it a gallon of water. I also added 2tbsp of mollasses in both plants' water. The day after I watered the first time with the gravity I went to see what it had done. Just squeezing the buds in my hand blew me away. I can't believe how much harder the buds got overnight. The next day I watered again with the same concentration. Two days later, today the leaves are all burnt slightly on the ends and facing upwards, but the buds are bulging and rock solid.

I am totally sold on this shit. The purple maxx is a maybe, I think it did something but i don't know how much something. The gravity is bomb.

So you added Gravity at full strength. I think I will give my first try at no more then 1/2 strength. I am dieing to use this stuff now. Still have a few weeks until it is time.

Did you also lower the amounts of nuts by 1/3 like they suggest?

Yes I used it, as recommended, @5ml/gal for two consecutive waterings.

As far as other nutes, I haven't didn't use anything but molasses with it and haven't used anything since. It says to use 3 weeks before the plants are done so I don't see why you would have to feed after the second gravity application.

 

[Meloyelo]

Thanks for the input, I'll give it a try.

I just talked with my buddy who owns a Hydro Store. He says to only use 1 ML of gravity per gallon the first time. And then Boost it up to 2 ML the second time if you see no wilting. He says the wilting will only last about a day. He also suggested useing the Purple Max also but not together. He was very clear to not add it to a Hydro system res tank. Just for one single feeding once a week for two weeks.

I don't know, full strength worked for me. If I had gone back after the first application and saw signs of too much stress then I wouldn't have used it again, but I ended up following what the bottle said and it worked great.

In hydro, you're supposed to add it the day before a res change, and run nutes at 1/3 strength.

Have you harvest any of it yet? I have read that if you go full strength it will give your buds a funky tast.

 

[DR. VonDankenstine]

Have to give the doses at 1/2 strength and you'll be fine if you decide to use the gravity--a flush after with 0ppm water is a must--follow directions but again----------1/2 dose.. good luck

 

[DR. VonDankenstine]

I posted somewhere else the following information but You should start building the silica in your medium along with organic sugars and carbs a couple of weeks before use--Humbolt added b vit and kelp to help with the stress but it's really not enough--the silica and sugar will help with the chemical load stress caused by the use of gravity. Want to stay on topic but the purple max formulation is still being tested and adjusted--I personally would wait till they lock down all the tweaks before spending the funds on the purple max------And yes the gravity is very similar to the overdrive by AN.

i wonder if its worth the price...does it really make your buds heavy (enough to where your getting more profit than spending money) the stuff cost like 30 bucks
