Just a quick report from this side: Plants responding to emergency treatment really well. Praying like its Armageddon and they've been naughty. Relief I cannot describe. It was rough seeing them hurt. Still feel so bad. Poor girls. I will catch you guys for proper updates around Friday, working on a big contract, pool goes into the ground on Wednesday, taking Thursday off for getting shmangled as that is what one does on your Earthday. Bongs R US lol... I will have a lot to share pic wise... As m4k says, STAY LIFTED! And Gandalf... Killer bud bro! Trichome City over there !!!!

4 days is normal. Some up to a week. It is no where near time to think they won't pop. Hang in there.

I thought about the co2 burners too for that exact reason! I couldn't even imagine your lake effect cold. Have you tried turning your heat up to around 68 lol.

Sorry for hogging thread guys, but I have much on my F'n sober mind...all out and I refuse to pay :cry: Maybe I should visit AllDayToker :O

1) A couple of weeks ago, I had my third damn mister go out in two months!!! I called the nice fellow at (I'll insert link tomorrow) and he sent me 5 replacements!!! Said they were re-designed. He's got a customer for life.
2) Took five 52 hour, still non germed beans, and put them in a solo cup with tiny 5 gallon bubbler with a very very light nute solution. I usually don't prefer the shot glass method due to chance of drowning...hence bubbler. Water is well oxygenated and 78* on mat. Anyone try this?!
3) Already dialed in my LED 5x5 tent. Had to add a space heater and humidifier.
4) I'm lost without my 5 month stash of Green Crack...might resort to real crack!!!
5) My coco seedlings look like absolute shit. Not giving up just yet. Never good stressing from beginning. I'll take some picks tomorrow and get The Councils' opinion.
6) I can't sleep, bout to take an ambien lol.

It's been two weeks since my last tea feed for flowering. My recipe is the basic Jamaican bat guano, Peruvian seabird guano, ewc, molasses, and maxicrop.

I did my last feed at half strength of the recipe, or dilute 1:1. Would I be safe feeding again but at 3/4 or full strength of the recipe?

Also, what's a good carbo loader that's organic that's good for swelling up the the buds? I used AN Bud Candy on my first plant when I first started feeding teas and it worked well but made it taste and smell just sweet. Like making everything taste and smell the same and when I started using teas I got rid of it.

Too soon? Sorry I tend to rub people...ask Mad Hamish lol. Follow this for ACTs http://microbeorganics.com I like to go ACT once a week. Then use a nute tea with N, and more P, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, Black Strap Molasses, and ProTekt every watering during bloom. If you have thriving microbes then 3/4 dose shouldn't be a prob. I NEVER EVER DO FULL DOSE. Hope it works out for you.

Well those same people came back and tried jumping me the next night so yeah, a little soon.

Alright, thanks. Yeah kelp and alfalfa are like the two things I still don't have that I need to get. I got that link in my favorites already :-P

I'll try 3/4 this next feed and see how the plants take it, they seem like they could look healthier anyways. I remember Gandalf saying he never does full strength either.

They want you to use full strength so you can buy more. I posted an ACT recipe couple pages back that smelled very rich and earthy. Get to know kelp and alfalfa bro!!! Also foliar feeding with aloe, neem oil, compost tea, etc. Welcome to the next level!!! Make time to start a worm bin. Many helpful threads around here. Follow Rrog, Stow, Hyroot, Hamish, Gandalf, and even May 11 lol. Enjoy!

Kelp meal and alfalfa are essential for veg and flower, put the two together early on in flower for a foliar and nute tea and you will see less stretching, I still have not bought every nute I want because I see these fellow organic gurus and I like to follow wise advise.

Im trying to figure out a early flower nute tea, hows this sound for 30 gals of water .
1 cup fish bone meal 5-16-0
1 cup kelp meal 0-0-1
1 cup alfalfa meal
1/2 cup Oyster shell flour
1/4 humic acid
1/4 cup coco water
1/4 cup aloe vera juice
1/4 cup Epsom salts

2 cups molasses

Anything I should do? This is for flowering plants 1-4 weeks old.

Doing a veg tea currently looking like,
15 gallons of water
1/2 cup seabird guano
1/2 cup Oyster shell flour
1/4 cup feather meal
1/4 cup kelp meal
1/4 alfalfa meal
1/8 humic acid

1 cup molasses.
