See how one phenotype looks way different than the other
That's very common when growing poly-hybrids. Look at the lineage of that strain. It's got everything but the kitchen sink in it. You could grow 2 more seeds and get 2 different pheno's. I just grew a couple Bruce Banger's and mine were basically identical. Good smoke.

Could never figure out why so many have issues with FFOF. Other than some regional differences in sources of the elements used.

FFOF can run a plant “ all the way thru “ a grow whether auto or photo. Medium will begin some exhaustion after 6 weeks but can be RECHARGED with a simple top dress or Tea / Soil drench. You just keep medium charged at intervals of grow. Not rocket science .... no need for distilled ( another head scratcher on use ) ... yes distilled can remove things like crypto / lead / pathogens etc.

But .... it also removes lots of dissolved solids like calcium / potassium and other trace elements. Which ironically the grower has to “ ratio “ back into it by way of feed or supplement . What other plant on earth NEEDS distilled water ? Outside grass , bushes , other plants dont give two shits about the water. Even the chlorine extraction pulls that element - and plants DO USE chlorine in some plant processes . Its just a plant .... no magic involved... no unicorn sweat or magic pee water.
Tap / city water works fine.

Big bloom is the only organic of the 3 ( trio pack ) and is a supplement to the bennies in the soil. It can be used throughout grow but not alone. The addition of fresh FFOF will charge the host soil and allow the big bloom to “ complete “ soil with ewc / kelp and other micronutrients.

IMO .... add more ffof ... water in ( tap ) ... drop ph 6.5 ( to allow for minor drift ) - FFOF is ph’d at 6.3.
FFOF will add more of what is being pulled from host soil WITHOUT guessing ... since plant has already acclimated to it . Spots are from the calmag deficiency... led grows often need a bump at times.
I add cal mag 7mg per gallon

But see isn't it like you're using tap water there's calcium there and then if I got a supplement cal-mag and then there's calcium and magnesium in the soil already so it's like how do you know when you've reached the proper proportion

With organics , we simply do not know. We go by the basics and what we know is in the mix and go from there. Thats why so many people use chealated food or chemicals to feed. its much easier. also much more expensive. Using something like FFOF is great because yuo have hundreds of folks who have already done it so they can help guide you on what to add back to the soil.

I am using Advanced Nutrients. Doesn't say how much to use when you're growing in soil I just use the directions that they give 4 Hydro16279406266515111830871305535200.jpg
