Yeah I'm using neem oil and a soapicide fungicide mixture all organic we had a 30 hour power outage on there second day of flower of all things and it got a little bit I've been treating it since though
yeah they can handle a dark period ok but if the humidity spikes and there is no airflow that is bad you couldnt move them outside or by an open window?

What the fuck are you adding coffee for? Why are all these new growers doing such retarded shit? Bro.. They are plants and have pretty basic needs. Provide them with a healthy consistent environment (65-75 F - 40-50% relative humidity) and feed them some basic nutrients per the feed chart.

You're wasting your time & money doing all of these additives. If anything you will get less good results. Pick a high quality growing medium and nutrient and avoid using supplements like they're going to BUD XL your buds.

No no no no no we had the power outage because of a snow storm I had to wrap blankets around the tent just to keep them from reaching freezing it got town to 22 in the house but was able to retain some heat in the tent till the power came back on

I'm not worried about super big buds I'm after trich production and the reason I'm using coffee is because of its nitrogen content which has been used on peppers for thousand of years that's why my grandfather even used coffee in his garden when I was a child people aren't just starting to use it it's been used for a very long time it's one of the best sources of nitrogen and scientific studies have been done that plants respond positively to caffeine so I can get the same thing in a amended super soil and building water soluble feed (tea compound) that I can get in a bottle of some big brand by using a little knowledge and alchemy or chemistry whatever word you prefer to use then I'm going to i haven't seen bad results so why would I stop I'm not ignorant to what I'm doing I do have knowledge of nutrients and minerals and where to find them and which ones are water soluble l

What about instant coffee?
Can I just add some to my next batch

I would NOT use instant I've always used ran through coffee grounds and build compost teas and mix a grounds with the soil if you can add half a cup of perlite for every cup of grounds used and no don't top dress with coffee grounds they like to retain moisture it will hold the moisture in your top soil and could potentially be harmful to your root system

Actually that's not a bad idea make sure your coffee is an original roast not flavors added like hazel nut or breakfast blend because of added oils and acids that could potentially harm the root system

i am pst the halfway mark in flower so i can probably pour a whole pot of starbucks with sugar on my plants and they would love it i already feed like 3 times nute strength and they just get fatter i would post a pic but i wont hijack your post lets just say i just turned my lights on and got stuck in the room for 10 minutes staring in disbelief trying to count colas and figure out a yo yo or staking system the weight is making them all fall over

But seriously scroggin is it to late? If I move my main tops around to much right know could it negatively affect the plants hormones during bloom just wondering if I can spread them evenly through the whole tent and bring them down an inch or two

Coffee grinds are def an old school remedy . And nitrogen isn’t supposed to get removed completely in flower . Just lowered a lot . And then none at the end . Or so my studies have led me to believe .

Your right lol but I'm using a slow release nitrogen in my soil I meant as far as my teas I apologize I was hot headed at the moment and typing faster than my high ass was thinking

I like being able to blend my own ratio with my own ingredients as far as organic go that's one of the things that make this so fun for me so if you wanna make fun or bully find another newbie I'm a new grower and just because your a little more experienced doesn't give you the right to try and slap someone in the face with your "Supremacy complex" so fuck off please and thank you
