morning buddy. ya got a microscope yet? they sell em at radioshack less than $20 bucks. I use that to tell me when to harvest. I use the weeks that the seed dealers recommend as a guideline only....it is not absolutely necessary to have a scope, but it sure helps!!

This feed - 1 tsp big bloom, 2 tsp tiger bloom, 1/4 tsp advanced nutrients overdrive (mixed all together ph at 6.3) (I know overdrive is hot, but at an 1/8 strength, think it'll be ok, were at week 6 here, they recommend 2 tsp a gallon, I did 1/4 tsp, don't know if its even going to help) I want these buds to fatten up!
Comments, concerns?

What is the advantage of molasses? Will it girth up my buds, or is it for flavor? I'll get that scope today or tomorrow, I'm thinking that FI's almost ready. Does anyone keep them dark 48 hours before the chop? Doog, you gonna come smoke some this with me??

ok....
so, I add 1-2 tsps in conjunction with my other mix? This next mix is a bit hot anyway, maybe try next feed? isn't there plentiful amounts of sugar in my current nutrients?
Kinda sold me. thats a 75% increase to a top cola. May be a bit exaggerated, but sold me on it. I'll pick some up with the scope on Thursday (payday).

Thanks for the correction,
I also just ph'd it at 5.8, it lowered it a little bit after adding mollases, that normal? Is 5.8 too low? Should I adjust it up a little?

Add 1 tsp of molasses to the above. Doog, too hot???Usual feed - 1 tsp tiger bloom, 1 tsp big bloom (per gallon)
This feed - 1 tsp big bloom, 2 tsp tiger bloom, 1/4 tsp advanced nutrients overdrive (mixed all together ph at 6.3) (I know overdrive is hot, but at an 1/8 strength, think it'll be ok, were at week 6 here, they recommend 2 tsp a gallon, I did 1/4 tsp, don't know if its even going to help) I want these buds to fatten up!

Doog I see you were using about 2 drops of superthrive every feed. Is that like overdrive? And wouldn't 2 drops fill a 1/4tsp just about? I don't want to burn em, but I could use a little more girth, is why I added mollases and overdrive, I feel at such a insanely small dose there couldn't be reason they'd burn.

Molasses and superthrive aren't nutrients. You won't get burns from them. Now overdrive, that's DEFINITELY hot stuff and you want to be careful with it. Don't worry so much, they are going to pack on weight and girth. It's common at about this stage to start worrying about it too much. They still look really immature and look like they have plenty of time left.

Doog you are my mentor and not here for me tonight. ErRRRRRR!! Guess you have a life I'm giving them the nute mix stated before, I was hoping for approval from you, but gotta do it myself sometime. Dr Greenhorn is the next best thing for advice. I owe both of ya's. Anyway here it goes, doin it. . . . . .

hey bro, I use superthrive, only during veg though. you can use it during flowering but it tends to make the plants take longer to finish and it causes excessive stretching if used during flowering. it is good used during veg. though. I don't talk about it much cause it is a very controversial product....

The only thing that I would worry about here is that you doubled the amount of Tiger Bloom....any reason or just because? If the plant isn't asking for it at this stage you shouldn't do it. Stick to what's been working. Adding more nutes doesn't make bigger nugz...gotta remember that. You might try adding 1/2 tsp or so, but I wouldn't just arbitrarily double it. If you really wanted try to use a bloom enhancer (which I don't suggest on your first grow) you should go with Cha Ching. It works well with the Fox Farms nutes. If you're hell bent on going crazy and not worried about losing your crop you could also try Gravity...that one can be really gnarly and fun, but I would try it on just one plant at 1/4 strength. That stuff is HOT, but it definitely makes the flowers explode.
