    Best 'stand alone' bloom boosters

    Hey, no offense, they look great...but that's how plants are suppose to look.

    Best 'stand alone' bloom boosters

    I was just curious if anyone else came to this same conclusion, espeically since I don't see how superthrive helps during transplanting...I'm not sure why people are having transplant shock to begin with, usually when I move a plant into a bigger container there is an immediate explosion of...

    Is selling really that profitable?

    This is why all my friends that moved out there about a decade ago are moving back east, lol. If I could grab stuff at those prices I probably wouldn't even grow! Cheapest a # goes for around here is 3, and even that is a steal.

    Best 'stand alone' bloom boosters

    I don't think they are snake oil, but I don't think the P and K have anything to do with their effectiveness. I'm using mostly P and K after week 4 anyway, and when my buds are almost completely finished and I hit them with the dry koolbloom there is an explosion of new growth/white hairs...

    Best 'stand alone' bloom boosters

    What else would make fully matured buds start stacking calyxes/foxtailing like crazy...and if over used actually make your plant take longer to finish? It has to be something like that, what do you think?

    I think it is from unlisted ingredients, like PGRs.

    Best 'stand alone' bloom boosters

    It does happen, but the trend I've seen is cups judged by normal people like you and me who pay a fee to do so. There is unfortunaely A LOT of marketing bs in the canna industry... What always strikes me is the similarity to the bodybuilding/fitness industry. Next time your in the book store...

    Best 'stand alone' bloom boosters

    Bloom boosters or PK boosters are a scam...not because they aren't effective, but because they are marketed as a PK boost. While there are usually high concentraions of PK, it's the unlisted ingredients that work their magic. Plants uptake what they need and leave behinde what they don't. It...

    Best 'stand alone' bloom boosters

    You need a hug uncle ben. I've been a judge at cups, along with hundred of other 'regualr' people who have no ties to a company or specific grower. Any cups with 'special' judges is obviously not a good source for info. I would say being judged by hundreds of regular people does hold some...

    How do I start growing Vert??

    That thing is gonna give me nightmares! It looks like someone's back - i wouldn't be suprised if that thing turned around and started talking, lol

    how much longer?

    I give my plants only water and a 'sweet' product for at least two weeks out from harvest. If your actually going to flush your medium, meaning running 3x the amount of water through it as the container holds( 3 gallon pot, 9 gallons of water), a week of water after that is fine. If you not...

    how much longer?

    You need a scope to tell when they are done, otherwise you'll sell yourself short. Get a 30-100x scope and look at the color of your trichs - that's is what matters, not red hairs or general appearance of the bud. Most people chop way too early, IMO. Trichs are either clear, cloudy, or...

    Week five with red hairs???

    heat, wind, low humidity, pollination - all possible causes of premature red-hairs. Looks like you figured it out :) I don't know about anyone else, but every phone I ever owned had an option to disable 'geotracking' when you take a picture, otherwise it records exactly where the pic was...

    Week five with red hairs???

    Um, exactly what I was thinking, except cops can do what ever they want regardless of the law. Hermies don't develop - a plant is either a hermie or it isn't. A female might try to self pollinate itself due to an environmental stressor, but that doesn't make it a hermie. You may get some...

    P.S - I think this crop is totally salvagable at this point, just cut back on the nutes and be diligent about checking for insects. If I were you I would order some predatory mites to have on hand in case the come back with avengence! Stay green, keep up the good work - whenever I have an...

    Bummer on the mites. It looks like you have severly burned your plants as well. If your still using the same dose of base nutes, I would cut back big time. Try giving them just water the next few times and then start using your nutes at half the strength you were. That bag seed is...

    Grow, dos.

    Don't be scared to completely remove anything that is 16" under the top of the canopy(after the stretch in flower is done) - the light won't penetrate that deep and all that lower growth will just take energy away from your tops buds - it's like what the SCROG guys do, minus the screen. It's...

    Grow, dos.

    Looking good bravedave!!! I flower 6 plants at a time in my 4x4 tent in 3 gallon pots under a 600w hps - alot of LST, bending, and topping to fill the canopy - and I yielded over 21 onces last round with multiple strains. I wish you the same luck! Keep it up
