SpruceZeus....

i consider any 'recovery period' as the stretching it does in the 1st-2nd week.

really dont notice a difference, unless im watching the grass grow...they normally always take off.

i also like a tad bit of Rhizotonic to get them going and give them a little umph

What sort of EC do you put your clones into?
I've been starting at .4-.5 too low dythink?

I strongly beleive in a product called Phosphoload by Dutch Master.
and / or

any PGR (plant growth regulator)

Humboldt County's Bushmaster is another example.

its almost perfect for sog.

you let your plant/clone grow whatever height you want it at (final height) and you feed it a PGR and it will stop all stretching and vertical growth. Folks also say that it sheds a few days off to start fruits (you know how sometimes it takes 7-14 for fruits/flowers to show)

then it packs on bud.

i've yet to touch PGR of any kind....as i heard bud quality is scarified

Im the misfit of the group. I use all the cheapest crap and build all my own stuff haha. I am in a little closet. Had to make alot of adjustments to use these techniques and make them work in my grow. I did just splurge on a portable ac unit tho. Best thing i could have ever done actually. Probably would have saved alot of money and headache doing it sooner really. If i had a bigger room i probably wouldnt need the ac but its also helped out with odor control as well. So im glad i got one now. LOL man im growing in rubbermaid tubs dude. But everything is working out ok i guess.
Education and research to these ideas has really brought my grow along way and completely optimized my grows potential to the fullest extent. Id reccomend sog to anyone.
Peace.

ahaha

hell yes

i've went into flower with 1.0-1.4 EC before

:p

i also feed different than other folks too...

sometimes i load and load and load the plant up with nutes, then when i flip to flower i gradually reduce the EC instead of shooting it up

(sometimes i do that because i think i went to high, or some strain who's mother was a nute whore and wanted to high of ratio)

i would say definitely give a little boost.....

what are ya plants looking like? light green? dark green? is that picture accurate? or is that the HID glare? (meaning how HPS sometimes washes out pictures and plants look lighter green than they really are)

hey guys how you all doin im right in the middle of my first harvest of a perpetual aeroponics system the only problem is that the nutrients that these babies go through is amazing but not so great for my wallet currently im using currently liquid nutes consisting of liquid karma the bloom veg and sweet i was wondering if there were any cheaper nutrients out there maybe some salts instead of liquid that someone could recommend? any help is appreciated

Pharlow i think ur using some pretty decent nutes actually and pretty much as cheap but effective as they get. Far as the Karma.. U may be able to find a cheaper supplement with humic acid in it.. Thats all ur really benefitting from using the LK i use it as well on my cuttings during root growth. Im not even really sure i have to tho. Ive done fine without it.

general hydroponics 3 part

use a modified formula in bloom with 6mL micro 9mL bloom from day 1-21

day 22-52 you can use 9mL bloom

you can also add some kinda flower booster as well

all per gallon ratio. mileage may also vary in reference to strain finish times and days. extend as necessary

The light definately washes out the colour, but having said that, they're still not the dark green that they should be. (i blame this on the 3 weeks they spent in the cloner before i got my lazy ass in gear and potted them)
Next round i'll try feeding a little heavier, see how that treats me:joint:.



Thanks.

also, drop your res level.

meaning...just keep enough water to cover the pump or a tad bit more so you can skimp on nutes.

it will makes the roots longer as to search for more water, but fuck it eh? saves on nutes

bu quality is sacrificed only if you over use the product-less is more. I have never had any problems with and i also think the buds were way fatter then without using Phosphoload
