NFTG. Nectar For The Gods

amend using nectar … plant won’t eat up all th herc in the soil and other nutrients …. Microbes would have a field day breaking it down and plenty food for the plant … with that built up herc and fuel in soil be a good time to be playing with BK ….

Ok so starting from scratch with a new bag of #4 what do you recommend. Ill be throwing plants away but will be saving the soil from those pots for the next grow. I hate to waste anything but money is no issue when my plants are coming out how they are. Its well worth the money and the work. I've been smoking for 20 years now and this is about the best I've ever had. Idk if its because its fresh or what but I've had a few people tell me the same.

with a new bag I would do a 1/2 cup with the amendments you have , just make sure the ph is in the boundary’s PH is very important cause the ppms could go as high as 2000 … with being under LEDs they need that food , but you want to work the plant down to 600 ppms so your not feeding as much , but giving there herc and tea , one way to save a few $$$ and still put out great product …. Why is it so good? Growing organic and no pesticides on product , a lot are just rushing it , it’s all about weight and not the flavor …

Definitely wanted quality over quantity but got both this time.
 
Makes me wanna just choose a mother and keep it in my 3x3 then take clones to fill the 4x8. Never did that either. This grow may be like going back to being brand new to growing.
 
Regarding building soil - with #4 , I add Calcite (I use RO to water) - DTE "Garden Lime" (roughly 3/4 cup for 10gal pots)- and then also one shot - smidge under half a cup or so. Seems to make a nice rocket launcher for veg mode. Fingers crossed.

And hell yeah to the Bigfoot Gold. That stuff...omg.

I haven't tried the gold because I put one shot in the hole but I definitely water with the Bigfoot concentrate and my 5 gals fill all the way up with roots. I also like to water with Dr Root for a couple weeks until I start feeding. I've heard of alot of people using the garden lime to prevent ph from dropping but I kinda have the opposite issue with my water I battle high ph which seems to be a good thing it may be because I use a lot of extra Demeters, Herc, Tritons, Cercies, plus my tap water has pretty high ppm. I foliar feed with BK everyday up until the 2nd week of flower then water it in and they seem to take whatever I throw at them.
 
Has anyone done a manifold indoors? I was thinking, if the plants show there sex around the 6th node, I could just let it grow to the 6th node without any topping or training so I can tell early on then chop off the top 3 nodes and the bottom 2 leaving only the 3rd node and Build my plant up from there. I've seen monster manifolded plants. One more question Lol, what size pot should I use first while waiting for them to show sex? Thanks for any input I'm feeling like brand noob again!!

im Usually in a 5 gallon pot about time they show there sex , it’s more of a personal call and how long you want to let them in veg… if your gonna manifold I would do it at the 9 or 10 th node and work it from there…. Been so long that I did it … get a couple clones going and then start playing with a few where if disaster hits won’t be a loss … less is more , I can much more with 2 plants then 4 , also get more with 1 plant then 2 , depends on a few factors and one being supply and demand .

Yeah I'd like to fill the 4 by 8 with 2 monsters. I'm gonna put my 2 Spider farmer SE3000's in there So a plant a light Would be nice. I could even throw a scrog net across the whole thing. Guess there's about a million ways to skin this cat.

So I'll probably start them in cups and go straight into 5 gallons then If it's gonna take that long to show sex. If I only plan on keeping 2 maybe 3 plants How many Seeds do you think I should plant?
 
I got 12 of these seeds. Now named Haole moonshine. Just wanna get a few keepers And veg them for 2 months. Wondering how many I should plant if I'm only gonna keep a few.16632704148523891854409996087157.jpg

man its really hard buyimg seeds for me. So many options. So many good options too. Also after growing a strain for 4 or 5 months I'm ready for a new one.
 
Hey guys,

I’m on my second grow (first in soil) and running into a few issues. Hopefully can get some opinions..

Temp: 73 - 80f
RH- around 50%
LED quantum board

Soil: #4
Water: Tap @ 8.2PH, .5 EC

Following the sample kit regimen..Medusa, Gaia, Athenas, Demeters, HH, Zeus, Hades Down. I PH to 6.2 - 6.4, haven’t really done any water onlys or flushes but a slurry test shows 7PH and .3 EC

1st plant last feed was 4 days ago a little less than half the recommended doses @ PH 6.2

Second plant was fed full strength nutes @ 6.2 three days ago

They are on their last day or two of reduced light before 12/12 (reduced 1 hour per day approx)

Any help is much appreciated!
 
First off they are starving.. a 0.3 ec is way too low especially under LED’s. You need a minimum ec of 0.5 but closer to 1.0 would be ideal. Ph of 7 is pushing it a bit as you really don’t want to be outside the range of 6.3-6.8 too much for too long. Also when under LED’s the love the herc for the calcium and demeters for the mg. Your going to want to push your demeters as well as the herc... along with increasing everything else to get your ec up.

Are you using the Hades down first off, before adding anything else to bring down ph and then adjusting up with the Olympus up after adding the other bottles?

Ah, gotchya. Ok so I will up the feeds, and as far as PH… I had no idea that I could add the Hades Down to the water before adding nutes. I was adding all nutes in order, then using Hades Down. Should I be using Hades before nutes so I can add a little Olympus Up at the end?
