I’m not a big fan of foliar feeding period… it’s use as needed … if I want to cut the stretch down I’ll foliar spray bk in the 2 weeks of transition… or if the plant was over watered why add more water then I’ll do a foliar feed till the soil dry up some ….. the only time I would use yuca is if the soil dried out and I don’t want dry pockets in soil Or if I’m gonna be out of town and it will miss a watering ….. but this is me… what others do is on them …. Another fun way way to learn tho….. ohh I will foliar trigger to help with bud sites , week before 12/12 and 2 weeks in transition…and remember only foliar when lights off .. hour after lights off or 1 hour before lights on .

How much One Shot are you guys using…just preloading soil or are you also dressing a few times? Reason why I ask is because if the stuff takes 6 months to get used up, why keep top dressing? I’ll admit I haven’t taken the time to dig into One Shot, but seems a lot of people use it.

when i amend soil, I usually let it cook for a month before using .... i use 1 cup of one shot, top dress a hand full.

If you wanna play with BK , 1. Make sure your soil can support it (gas) don’t just foliar bk and wish it luck , doesn’t work like that .. can’t have a slurry of 250 ppm and expect all is good…. Slurries are needed so there no guess work …. Another myth, don’t have to follow the feed feed tea - feed feed herc …. Again that will depend on slurries and if your using LEDs you want that slurry to have a higher # …. Example if you did a feed feed herc. And your ppms are high like 600 + range then I would do a BK foliar with next water I would do a herc .. then depending on slurry do a feed or a tea or another herc then a tea or feed feed feed …lol…… you can run a higher ppm as long as your ph is in range …. Ph is a very important thing….
As recommended I always make sure I do a 1 to 6 ratio of BK to herc.

I use alot
During veg I pour my oly up from that little sample bottle they give you. During flower im dumping it straight from a quart.

im running (almost) the full Roman regimen, trying to use up all my nftg and I’m pushing it hard. I’m going to take a break from nectar after this run. If I was running only a couple plants I wouldn’t mind the price. It’s just cost too much for me right now.

I have a bunch of one shot and a local guy is selling the #50 for $50 so I might just play around with that and some local inputs. I’ll just keep some of the fundamental bottles around for emergencies.

Agreed, during mid-to-late flowering, you'll blast through Olympus. In my mix of nutes yesterday (at 4.5 weeks flowering), I added about ~16ml of Oly Up to get my mix back up to ~6.4-6.5 (per gallon with ~7.5Ph input). If you balance your P inputs with Cerces vs. all Herc it will attenuate the Ph drop somewhat but plan on lots of Olympus for sure. It's pretty much a nute in the context of this overall feeding regimen vs. just a Ph adjuster. Good luck!

per 5 gallons… when I amend I use a tote , but I do 5 gallons at a time
So 1 cup per 5 gallons? I am thinking of giving it ago, re-using soil. Need to get caught up on some reading first, but thinking I could let it break down for a month, giving me time between grows.

Now that there’s more heads in here…any of you have a negative experience with Triton’s Trawl?? Like, buds smelling fishy as Scott mentioned?

at least a month , but you can let it go longer …been using the same soil since 2019 .. saves $$$$ and no issues …

Do you find the soil maintains PH or do you end up higher or lower, in general?
maintains the ph and harder for it to swing out of range , not saying it couldn’t happen , your feeding ph and slurries will help keep that ph inline . Along with keeping the soil correct moisture in soil helps , not to over water or underwater . Amending soil is not the answer with keeping the ph , does it help yes , does it save a few $$ and save on using less bottles from the start , yes .

Good enough for me! I might just give it a try next grow.

No, not at all. And Triton's Trawl smells like someone's ass exploded with a fountain of rotten dead nasty shit. If my nugs smelled like that I'd run for the hills. Remember, there's chemistry at work here; this reminds me of the old school "back in the day" grow tips where people would say you could add shit like grape juice to your watering to "flavor" your stuff. Hah.

The process of uptake into the plant and conversion into glucosides is a metabolic process of the plant. Similar to when you eat food and your body converts it into a usable form that then becomes skin, blood, etc. The energy created from photosynthesis is the fuel that induces development; whether this is mitosis for more growth and/or if this relates to terpene development and other artifacts of this metabolic process.

In fact, I've been amazed at how tasty the nugs end up after pouring what smells like a cesspool of the nastiest rank shit you've ever smelled into their containers. But I've never smoked a nug that has come out after heavy and sustained Triton's usage (~30ml/gal for weeks) that even remotely resembled that stank ass smell.

If you have a nug that smells like Tritons Trawl - smack your breeder with a large dead fish and run for the hills.
