I remember you spamming my thread about a month ago... This time you're getting a ban.

Chap.

Glad to hear-Hope they stay beautiful and healthy. At least you have the information to keep an eye out for things. I like the AN line as well with the exception of sensizym that we already talked about earlier in your thread. As you know you can build up your ppm's over time in the feeds---The 2000 that your friend pushes doesn't surprise me to be honest. I'm sure with the proper gradual training plants could handle in the 2000 to 3000 range with no problems. As far as the bell curve-my max is 1200ppms but you have to remember--theirs nutrient ppms in the soil as well. I don't flush in flower until the end so that would also be a factor. I have worm castings along with Indonesian bat guano--.5-12-.2 in my soil mix. Since you like the AN line and you like to push the ppms--get a bottle of their NIRVANA--It will help the plants use more nutrients and builds their hunger for more.( Sea-Kelp--amino's--in the correct ratio's). Let me know how the Gravity works out for you---I didn't want to scare you--just keep you informed.

Thanks Doc...

Yeah, I knew that Gravity was supposedly some high powered stuff. People have said only use 1/4 dose... Raise lights... Cut back feeding...


But I'm the type of person that pushes everything to be the best, if it can be done I try...

So, when I was making up the mix, I thought... I know people who peak at 1800-2000 or higher, so If I was doing a half feeding from their level, I'd feed at 1000...

I also normally peak at 1200.



Usually I can notice a burn within 24 hours just by looking at the fans...

24 hours after feeding, if they are standing up towards the lights, they definately have enough nutes, it they're standing up and the tips are bent over, you have a definate burn happening...

I try to just barely get some burnt tips on the fans, to know they have as much as they can handle... Although I don't recommend this practice unless you've been growing awhile and want to adjuct your peak feeding.

Don't push a plant that isn't drinking like crazy, or has some stress in it... It will hate you for it.


You can definately follow the "less is more" and have great results... But once you get the techniques down, I recommend constantly messing around with new ideas.


Remember this grow I'm messing around... I tried out some homemade bubble buckets, and failed... And I'm trying out Fox Farm products instead of ANs beneficials... Lots of money was saved, but it'll take until harvest to find out if it was worth it...

hey man! i gotta say the G if used properly is the sht! i been using it for only 5 days and it has definitly done its job...im only using 1/3 the rec dose and molasses...plants frkn love it! it post a pic but its your thread, ur welcome to drop in on mine

Alrighty alrighty.....


Time for some pictures at day 30!

9Miles;

this is bullshit!! your buds look bigger than mine! i think were right at the same day of flowering too. im gonna go check my calender and if we are on the same day me and the girls need to have a pep talk.

for real though, looking nice. very nice.

now im gonna check that calender.

Some spanky dank there my friend...!

Damn.. I just bumped my nose on the moniter trying to smell your stash...!!!


We gotta get some macro' shots,

get closer... They dont bite................... Or do they ...???


Db.~tlb!

I'll snap a few pics with the magnification turned up and paste them up tomorrow...

Willie- I started flowering December 26... I'm one month in today.

Yeah... This is the part where you know you've made it or not... Right around the 30-35 day mark the shorter indica dominate strains are really pushing to plump up and finish... Longer sativas are just now finished stretching and start to fill in...

Those 9Mile buds are gonna be as big as my arm once they're finished...

DB.

Those are some juicy fuckin buds man. I would say good luck, but you don't seem to need it.

Well, I just finished snapping a few pics with the sherlock holmes magnifying glass in front of the carmera lens...

I took some right as the lights were coming on... Checked on the routine maintence and I'm headed out tonight... Chasing the chance to get my dick wet.

I'll post them up tomorrow. Peace out.

Oh man....!

So your going to crop block us tonight...???


Good luck..., dont forget to wrap your jimmy. Lets keep the breeding in the grow rooms...!!!


Db.~tlb!

They look great!!!

LMAO @ crop block!

Damn, dude, those things look nice! I can't wait to see them fatten up over the next couple of weeks.

The skunks looked awesome earlier, but now the blueberries look DAF.

I've got all the free clones I want, so I've taken the "cram as many in as possible" approach, but I think I will try quality over quantity next time - 9 under a 600 is working really well for you.

Your nute regimen is a bit complicated - so many different products, but it seems to be paying off. I think I will try the AN line next time.

Yeah... Had a good night... I'm kinda sore, whatta workout...




I want to apologize for not staying true to the Fox Farm line... I originally wanted to try out using just the basics, but as flowering progressed I felt I was missing some ingredients that were vital to having a better harvest.


If I were to use just the Fox Farm lineup, I'd definately supplement some carbohydrates, and enzyme, and silica... (AN's; Carboload, Sensizyme, Barricade) or other companies... Botanicare Silica Blast, Carbomax, Hygrozyme...


I've also added some Humic and Fulvic acids to aide in uptake, CalMag to fill in the possible deficiencies, Sweet Leaf for aroma, and a 2 part synthetic to act like steroids compared to the organics...



I'm pretty sure I mentioned it earlier in my journal, but the best taste and highest yiel I got from any garden was a 50/50 mix of Iguana Juice and 2part... My hypothesis is the organics provide the long term feeding that stays in the soil, and when the synthetics are added they are eaten up right away.


Organics have to be broken down a bit before they can be absorbed by the plant, whereas synthetics are readily and easily absorbed.

Which is another reason when growing with organics you'll want enzymes, fungal and bacterial colonies, that will break down all the poop and make it available to the plant.


I'm kinda busy today, we got over a foot of snow overnight, and I have tons of shit to catch up on around the house... I'll get those pics up later on today.
