agreed. i made this mistake my first time around. i really didn't understand what stuff did and kind of took the labels for granted. i went on a bunch of recommendations and bought too many things.Before investing in additives wouldn't it be smart to understand what these things actually do? Take Bud Candy. I seen it recommended earlier. The ingredients on the bottle says 0.5% Magnesium. Does your plants actually need magnesium? Do you see any Mg deficiencies? You can call it Super Fucking Weed Grower or Big Fat Dick Enhancer. The name doesn't mean shit. It's what in it and what role that ingredient plays in your plant's development.
Kelp and molasses will not make a tea by itself. You need some worm or bat shit to 'brew'. The kelp and molasses feed the shit.. and makes the tea.ok im getting u , is it necessary a water pump to make some tea? how would i make it, just mixing the kelp and molassis in water? the nutes i mentioned before are for specific times on the plant, here i make an example of what i have in mind.
Is it just me or are you missing your base nutrient. All I see are additives.. That's like feeding your kid condiments as a meal.. it might work but it's not working..my soil
top soil 60%
perlite 15-%20% "its a lil bigger than perlite..."
guano pelican 5% or less
humus 15%-20%
i veg for 1 to 2 months and i usually water 1 - 2 times per week thats what my enviroment allow me.. but maybe it was coz of my crappy soil...
week 1 water / water+rhizotonic "if it needs again" if not tap water
week 2 water + rhizotonic / water + nutes "not to strong yet"
week 3 tap water / kelp extract only if "molasses wont work atm right?"
week 4 kelp extract / water + nutes
if i switch atm to flowering
week 5 canna pk+canna boost / water+canna boost
week 6 tap water / water+cana boost
week 7 kelp+molasses / kelp + molasses
week 8 tap water / tap water
week 9 bud candy+big bud / bud candy+big bud
week 10 kelp / kelp
week 11 molasses / flush
week 12 drying / drying
week 13 if it needs more time i prob tap water or some water + molasses
for blueberry i will have purple maxx to enhance some purple so i will play with that. also i will be using SUPERTHRIVE i heard it really helps, is it ok to mix that with kelp?? ive heard is ok to mix it with my reg nutes. also if tap water can be changed for kelp with no problems i will water with kelp everytime, ofc this is very subject to changes.. one never knows what will happend...
ps. when is the right time to feed big bud... and how many times a week u usually water ur plants?
Yeah. Looks like he forgot to throw in the kitchen sink.To me you look a little light on the nutes though flowering.. You might be ok but I bet you can do better.
thats the reason i make this threat, in order to learn what to do right this time and improve on my second grow... right now im a beginner just know what i've read and its not all in the books... i lyk to have responses from ppl that actually are growing atm what opinions they have and how are they rolling in the end. thx for the tip i will search and study that yuca extract.Most PK boosters are just that, P & K. Stuff like "Wet Betty" is just yucca extract which is like a natural soap which helps nutrient absorption. If you wanted a boost, you could easily take your existing Bloom formula at 1/3rd strength, add a drop of dish soap or a few drops of yucca extract (cost $7) then foliar feed the plants using a good misting spray bottle. I keep bringing up Advanced Nutrients only because I've used their stuff. I'm not saying they're putting out bad stuff, but I will say you don't need it. Big Bud is PK plus amino acids. I bet not one person here can find a study that actually shows real world benefits of adding amino acids. Believe me I've tried. If you really want the amino acids, X Nutrients makes a product called Amino Blast for $15 a bottle. Cheaper then AN or H&G and it's the same exact crap.
I bet most of you compare the ingredients in over the counter medications every time you step into a drug store, just because you want to save $2-$3 bucks. And that's with shit like acetaminophen that goes directly into your body and can actually kill you if you take to much. All I'm saying is why not use that same amazing $$$ saving brain power you got when comparing poops and pees.
really? One post guy.. UB is knowledgeable but it's like getting gems out of sewer system..You are a complete idiot UB has helped hundreds of people on these forums with growing questions and is probably one of the better sources for growing info around here
not to be starting anything with you bro but there are a ton of VERY experienced growers that would disagree with you. especially about advanced. go check out collective gardeners 20,000w grow thread or humbolt's 24,000w grow thread. both of them are producing killer plants with advanced and would probably differ from opinion as to the quality of advanced's lineup. i'm not doubting your knowledge but you even saidd you went organic on that plant. that's a shitload of nutes in those meals and composts. if you were in hydro or a soiless medium or didn't want to go organic that doesn't mean you don't know how to grow or shouldn't be growing just cause you need synthetic nutes. kinda closed minded, arrogant, and obnoxious if you ask me.Most noobs (not all) will buy the label and not botanical principles, plant nutrition. They're lazy, want to be taken care of which folks like Advance Shysters is more than willing to do.
If you can't raise some beautiful plants with rock solid colas (like my avatar) with nothing more than something like Walmart's or Jack's 20-20-20, FROM START TO FINISH, you shouldn't be growing. I raised that avatar plant using mainly organics like blood meal, bone meal, etc. but with tweaks of cheap off the shelf plant food and the 5" diameter cola was solid bud. I'm talking solid. Air could not get thru it. I had the genetics too, mainly indica.

Advanced Shysters is cool, eh? Reminds me of what one wise man said, "the only person that thinks O.J. Simpson wasn't a murderer is you and his mother."not to be starting anything with you bro but there are a ton of VERY experienced growers that would disagree with you. especially about advanced. go check out collective gardeners 20,000w grow thread or humbolt's 24,000w grow thread. both of them are producing killer plants with advanced and would probably differ from opinion as to the quality of advanced's lineup. i'm not doubting your knowledge but you even saidd you went organic on that plant. that's a shitload of nutes in those meals and composts. if you were in hydro or a soiless medium or didn't want to go organic that doesn't mean you don't know how to grow or shouldn't be growing just cause you need synthetic nutes. kinda closed minded, arrogant, and obnoxious if you ask me.
well, you pretty much just sealed your fate there buddy. ignorance is bliss. people who are so obnoxious as to think they know all and that their way is the only way do not go far in life. good luck with that.Advanced Shysters is cool, eh?

I sealed my fate? "Ignorance is bliss"? Yeah, I'd say so!well, you pretty much just sealed your fate there buddy. ignorance is bliss. people who are so obnoxious as to think they know all and that their way is the only way do not go far in life. good luck with that.
Blind leading the blind. IOW, contrary to what your good buddy is advising you, it's N that INDUCES healthy green leaves not this kind of advise,hey scrogs, what makes you say N abundance? is it the yellowing on the new growth?
Now, I'm going to take time out of my day and give you some friendly tips, ones that most likely you will ignore as your comfort zone resides in forum bullshit rather than learning what makes a plant tick.....N abundance, Nugs. back off the nitrogen, imo.
