Cutting 3 weeks off flowering time

This is how we cut every 7 weeks, irregardless is indicate,saliva or hybrid. I know they can go longer because the crystals and such but over the past 7 years we have figured out how to fully ripen the buds quickly, cutting weeks off of flowering time.
I'm not going to go into the whole argue about the nutes, I ise too much of this shouldn't do that type hype. This is our proven method and I'm going to lay it out for you, although we will not be giving ml per gallon since that is our "Family Genetics" secrets but what and how we feed will be discussed. image.jpgimage.jpg Gorilla Glue 4 day 49

I feel it's all in the food and the way we water. We use a Hanna blue lab meter 700 ppm scale, grow in 6" rock wool cubes drip to waist in flower, hand water in veg. We put 9 plants per 4x4(5x4.5 gavidas) 4 gph drip emitters. We water 6x a day for 1-2 minutes each time starting lights on and every 2 hrs after that. Cubes go from semi moist to semi dry multi times a day.

When i did grow weed i always had trouble with veg taking too long, have you got any more tip for that?
(I currently only grow peppers as im in a share house.) But curius about speeding up veg, like with rooting powder or anything.. Even my chillis seem slow for veg.

During veg it's silica, aquaflakes, cal mag, ful power. Cube soak is 1100 ppm 5.5 ppm. We fill 55 gallon barrel w 5 layers of 8 cubes and fill the barrel w our solution. After cubes are submerged we "shake" the barrel a few times to remove trapped air in the barrel. From there remove and put on table to drain, plant cubes and wait til 80% of the moister is dryer out before watering(5-9 days) again, this time add 100 poems and ph 5.7-5.9(they love 5.8 in rockwool)

After 36 hrs darkness the ladies will be starving.
Here's what we feed them.
Silica
Aquaflakes a and b
Cal mag
Bud blood
Bud igniter
Full power

You want to give 200 ppms blood us and igniter white only increasing ppms by 100 from last time fed. I drop aquaflakes by 2 ml per gallon. Feed them for 5 days this mix

The key to speeding up veg is keep your lights bright and medium never wet between 1/3-2/3 capacity always

How do you keep your medium "not wet" while you water them 6 time a day lol. Of course rockwool only keep 1/2 - 1/3 water to its volume. I mean with rockwool, root cant drown in your system even if you turn on the pump 24/24, and your nutrient is full of oxygen.

I use 6" Biggle instead of Hugo, it is better for our system because it hold 15- 20% less water (it has lower density compare to hugo). So Biggle is easier to move when it is filled with water, and more oxygen?. I think Hugo is better for flood and drain or water to waste who water manually.
I set my system to water 1 - 1:30 sec then stop for 1- 3 hours depend on temp. My area is hot (107 today) so I water them a lot to keep the root zone temp the same as reservoir to prevent root rot.

Have you ever use Cyco base nutrient? Yesterday, I was about to try aquaflakes, then I found out their 5gal tank doesn't have a bottom valve, can't believe it.

Did you use half dose for each Blood/Igniter or full strength both?

Weigh your cube the day after soaking. Take that weight and multiply by .666 which is 2/3 then by .333 1/3. After roots pop out the bottom water to desired 2/3 weight. Let dry then repeat. It takes me 2 seconds hand water to accomplish this. We flip every 3 weeks of veg, topping 2 time.
Roots can drown in rockwool and your off about res temp. My res stays 78*
Cyco is way overpriced even though I don't pay for nutrients. Plus house and garden have the best bottom valves on the market

You want to keep track of your ppms since weekly you want to raise them 100 here by adding more Aqua flakes

Thanks!
People around me use to say that I am too precise, but I see that it is nothing compare to you lol. You don't use any thing to protect the water like Hydroguard, Zone...? Isn't it risky if your res temp is 78.

I think my local store have the best price for Cyco lines in CA. $60 for 20L base while $65 for aquaflakes. When using at full strength recommended on Cyco bottle at 3ml/litter, I get around 900ppm (tap water is 100ppm), do you know how many ppm you get for Aquaflakes when using their recommended full strength 4ml/litter?
I see how I missed the valve of HG, I used to Cyco for too long lol.

I use em1 as an enoculant, nothing else is needed. Not sure of the top of my head what 4ml does of Aqua flakes. Out tap water @ 1 spot is 550-600ppm and we don't use any ro
