blackstrap mollasses or sucanat at 1-2 tbspn per gallon are great additives for blooming, and I also use superthrive, just don't use superthrive during flowering it can prolong the start of budding as it works mainly on the root system. As for the rooting hormone there is a great thread on that in the advanced section. Also Bat guano, sea kelp, and worm castings make great soil additives or watering additives if made into a tea.

What would you guys do if you had a very limited supply of seeds of a particular strain (Papaya, source--from a friend here :mrgreen: ) that you're having trouble germinating? I have never had a problem getting at least an 80% germination rate, but with this Papaya.. it's BEDEVILING ME! Just one more, I just want to get one more sprouted, just increase my chances by that much, ya know? :?

And there are fucking wasps EVERYWHERE now. I hate wasp spray, but I think I hate wasps more.

Well I feel your pain. I only had two out of 7 and a replant live out of my AG moochine. I germed with a wet paper towel..and they all sprouted little tails (looked like a spermatoza) but most of them went to dope heaven. Think I may have let em germ a little too long or something. Used just seeds on the replant and didnt have much mo betta success. My thumbs aint green apparently. I druther just buy some but dont know anybody who got some and willing to to a little mercantile type thing. My main (only) contact got bursted by the po po's. Was a very sad old deal..sniff sniff.

I got some which been in flower going on a month in Hempy Buckets which dont seem to want to do nothing but keep growing. I will try the molasses. You reckon that make em act right? Or maybe just make it taste mo betta if they ever get flowered? Using cfls. Maybe that is the culprit but I got a bunch and sure looks like they getting plenty of light 12/12 etc. Havent noticed any buds forming and cant tell whut sex they are. I been drying and smoking the leaves that happen to fall off accidentally. Gives a purty good buzz. Beats the heck outta not having none at all. :joint: Thanks.

Know an aspirin keeps cut flowers in water fresh a lot longer than not using it. Aint never tried it on killer weed. Hopefully somebody try it and repoat back with the results. Or maybe some nerd could splain the science behind how it keeps the flowers fresher etc. That should work too. We could then try to figger out if it be good to use it for mo devious purposes.
