Nutrients for soil grows

promix is what Im using. I use distilled water. If I have to add extra calcium and magnesium, then the 3 part base of jungle juice would be worthless.
Your post says half your grow is ocean forest and the other half was coco....I was just going off of that lol. The only jungle juice I ever heard of is served at house parties. I wouldn't give that stuff to your plants man haha

I usually don't make sense when Im high AF @ 7 am working. HA!
That's the only way to be working at 7am! Haha I'm about to blast off to the moon before I begin my tasks for the day. Advanced nutrients makes good stuff though, there's a good company out of Michigan called Green Wizard Nutrients that make a high quality bottle nutrient for not too much money as well. I don't mess with bottles anymore but if I were to recommend a brand I would recommend those two. Green Wizard is what I used before I switched to worm and Bat shit and I always had solid results.

FFOF soil used for veg. I only water.

When switch to 12/12 its only 2 things .. IMG_5581.JPG 1/4 tsp per gallon then step up to 1/2 tsp per gallon... Dyna-Gro Bloom
and I use a real good locally made organic molasses.

It works fantastic too.

Has anyone experimented with the self watering flowerpots that you put in a tray of water I think.I saw some 3 gallon ones at Lowes and was curious.

Cyco full line in the coco/perl. medium. Or in compost/perl. Grows super nice plants and if you know what your doing the results only get better, I pulled 1 1/4 pound in 3x3 scrog, 8 gal homemade smart pot. 1k hps air-cooled. If I would have used 4 plants and the entire 5x5 instead of only using 1 plant in 3x3 I would have easy pulled 2

How long did you veg for? Did you use co2?

I vegged for 6 weeks. Plus the 6 days or so spent establishing roots after popping. I used the yeast and sugar co2 because of slightly high temps
Nice! I vegged for seven weeks in seven gallon smart pots. I'm in flower right now, only a couple weeks left and I'm hoping to pull a pound a light.

Thanks yo. How long is the flowering cycle on your strain? Also how big each light? You got the root zone for it for sure.

Most of em finish right around the 8 and half, 9 week mark. But I've got a few la pure kush plants that finish around 7 weeks. I use 1000w hps for flower and mh for flower. I have a motley crew of hoods so my light dispersion is a little wonky but my room isn't that big so it's easy to get good coverage. I used tomato cages this round and it made opening up the inside of the canopy to light. I'm hoping it equates to some decent nugs up and down the plant.

Having it pulled apart in that fashion could give you some full size colas(strain dependent) I know if its an indica dom you could defoliate at week 4 and prune some sucker shoots, indicas respond real well to it. But only the large bs fan leaves that prevent even penetration threw out the plant. I had a cola strate up bigger than my dads whole fore arm from getting penetration similar to how you are

I've got some Pakistan valleys that are 100% indica, I went through and defoliated like you're talking about during their fourth week. It's a tight bushy bastard! The gorilla glue #4 I have I had to do the same but it looks like a 50/50 cross though I'm not sure.

Bushy is a pain but honestly so worth it when all th buds fill and fatten. How do you like the gg4 wiether it s a cross or not? The last strain I grew was mad bushy before I went threw and trimmed, looked like a shaved poodle for the first few days after haha

The gg grew nice and vigorous but I was constantly pruning it in veg, it has a tendency to bush in, instead of bushing out! It's flowering really nice though. It's not looking as colorful as my others. Looking like it'll be a plain green guy. It's got some good trichome production tho, not as much as my la pure kush or headband 818 but it's getting frosty.

She's a pretty girl! She eats through potassium like crazy. My soil mix and Guano applications have been enough for all the other girls but I've had to resort to using Potash to keep the 818 happy. I've read before that breeders that feed they're plants heavy create plants that want to eat heavy. In that case whoever bred her clearly loved to use bloom boosters. I try to do lighter fertilization because I've read that if you over do it you can overpush the plant and squash out some of its natural qualities. Kind of like free range chickens vs force fed fat ones.

Whatever tho she's my organic girl now, she grows like a blue cheese. Responds real well to topping, practically shapes herself into a perfect not too thick bush. I've had to do the least pruning with her. Picture with the flash on and off.

Absolutely beautiful yo. And I feel you on that specially if its gonna be the sought after qualities'. I had a plant that just drank like a fish. I could never end up with run off it'd be there when I fed I come back a few hours later and the smart pot would absorb all of it then the next day later on in the after noon be feed anoth 2-3 gal. Specially during the last 3 or so weeks of flower
