Autoflowerers are the shit, I don't keep mothers or more than one grow space and I have a perpetual grow, all without ever changing the light cycle. They flower based on their age, the one in my avatar showed preflowers at 17 days old. That picture in my avatar, a white russian a/f, was taken at 72 days from germination, right before the chop. They are cross-bred with an upland European landrace called Cannabis Runderalis which provides the autoflowering genes, but also takes a toll on the potency. Cutting out the veg cycle entirely is worth it IMO
That plant was aggressively topped early on, at 5 nodes old, following Uncle Ben's 4-cola technique and cutting at the second node. This formed 3 sets of new dominant shoots. I trained the top four to the same height and trained the bottom, smallest two up the center of this umbrella shape. The weight of the buds that developed spread the canopy open almost 6" by my estimation, letting more sunlight in an those two lower shoots to also receive sun. That plant had 6 main colas as long as my forearm and as thick around as a coke can at the middle. The secondary canopy produced just as much as the tops. IMO, canopy management is essential indoors, where you have a fixed light source. But I am limited on space.

Bud blood powder is the best for week 1, can see over 4x root mass in a week. (hydro). then big bud. then overdrive for last two weeks all with the three part. also some bud candy.
Using this shit i get preflowers within a week after flipping. Get a pound every 50 days. 2x400hps, 1x200wcfl, co2

Need to emphasize a really good point you made about growing - canopy management. Once a grower gets the basics down, canopy management is the key to success.....doesn't matter if you're growing pot, peaches, grapes, or tomatoes. One needs to open up the canopy to light and air. What works best for you is your call.
Most know how I feel about the never ending cannabis products quackery.

i used advanced and i liked em,I didn't use a full AN nute regiment, But did use A&B also used Super Mother Tea Bloom.. I think i'm going to make a switch to Non cannabis specific nutrients. The cannabis specific Nutes are way over priced these days. You can just as easily find non MJ specific nutes for much cheaper that will do the same shit. Example back strap molasses which is found at stock yards & feed shops for farm animals. Price that against some of Advanced's molasses .. Exact same & Its still 1tsp per gal.

I've read a lot of your posts on the internet and found them to be a beacon of truth that helped me a lot. I'm just trying to pass on the favor.

I use Big Bud powder starting the second week of flowering into the 4th, and then use overdrive the last two weeks before flush. Last grow I averaged 9 ounces per plant.

A product that I really like and could be what you're looking for is KoolBloom dry from GH. When used in the last 2-3 weeks of flower, it really makes things swell and ooze resin. Just my .02.

You like GH products? I think AN has better quality...
at least from their ph up/down perspective, AN is so much better.

It's all about your final product. Do you have a picture of yours that really showcases how good AN is?

From a analytical perspective the nutrient companies are essentially selling you all the same shit.
I am currently using advanced nutrients because I found my way into a situation where the company gave me a supply of free nutrients. They work great as far as I am concerned but over all I see people working wonders with anything based off hoagland's solution.
One of the main ideas most people need to get out of their mind that they are feeding their plant with their nutrients. You are giving the plant chemical pathways to be fed. like 99% of plant mass actually comes from the CO2 the plant breathes. Proper aeration is the best way to get more.

I agree. I have fans 24/7 blowing and my fresh air exchange is normal. I have a co2 monitor and tank, not using tank right now...might fill it monday and set her up. But my co2 is always around 500-600ppm. If i stay in the room for 10 min it rises to 800-900. Monitor helps. Will boosting CO2 realling increase yield? Say 1500ppm.
For the record, I am sticking with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow and Bloom. So far my results are astounding! Veg room, my plants are exploding! absolutely amazing. Flower room my girls are budding unbeliveably! My NYCD is 5 feet by 2.5 feet and I have buds every inch or so! Crystals, resiny and starting to stink the spicy pungent smell! I will switch to Big Bud liquid possibly....still researching a booster...also taking suggestions.
