am i doing it wrong??

first time i fed my plants i used fox farm grow big instructions said 2-3 tsps i misread my measuring cup and added 2-3 tbls the next time i mixxed i relized that i had effed up but there were no adverse reactions

ever since then i nuke the shit outta my plants with only minor leaf shriveling now and again so i would lay off a little

my plants are now at 14th day of 12/12 and they look awsome! i compared them to pics some people have at 25 days and im only using two cfls..

are my plants just gonna die over night at some point i seriously am nuking the shit outta them im feeding 4tsp dyna bloom(calls 2) dyna tech whatever its called. superior organics bloom 2tbl (calls 1) superior organics bud 4tsp (calls 2) a few others in that line.. 3 ml superthrive (calls 1) tsp open sesame tsp cha ching 5ml bcuzz bloom, and about 3 or 4 tbls molasses i just pour i don't measure it gets everywhere when i try to..

i can post pics if you want am i just over doing it or are my plants just super resilient and are becoming hulk like..

all bagseed havent gotten around to ordering beans.

Your plants WILL die overnight at some point.
But it will probably be because you're chopping them for harvest!!

I am impressed that you're "getting away" with such intense feeding. Lay off the nutes entirely for the last two weeks imo and water only ... cn

Are your plants Taller per say? More leaves? Be more specific, or post pics of these amazing plants please! If things arnt broke dont fuck with them! haha if they are growing like they are on steroids I want to track a log and switch what im using haha.

The only possible problem could be a salt or mineral build up but if it works what the hell right? I would not suggest this as something a person should try to do though you got lucky might just be a real hearty strain good luck and keep us posted.

im limited to a small space so i tend to over prune cuz i dont wanna run outta space i just closed up the room but lemmi see if i can get some pics up..

take into account i am limited space so i tend to keep the lights super close even in my veg room so i basicly have short sog type setup with everything lsted

EDIT actually 10 days into 12/12 misread my calendar i missread shit alot a curse?... or a blessing

my cell phone does a horrific job of representation but hopfully it will give you a idea of whats going on.

i have screwed up in every aspect of this grow my first 4 days of flower where with my 6500k veg room t5s 2 days in my timer decided to stop working so it stayed on for 24/0 for maybe a day or so(never gave it a dark period maybe i should of..) then i started checking regularly

for first few weeks was just with a single dual 4ft t8 so growth was almost at a standstill from seedling i prolly didnt hit the typical size for 2weeks untill 4 or 5 weeks

and the minor bug problem those are always fun

but all in all my plants have hung in and have proven themselves who would of thought mid grade bagseed is where its at )

Those look pretty sweet so far!

What size pot? I ask because a plant that is huge for its pot size will require a mpre intense dose sometimes than a regular one.

Personally, I dont think its a good idea. I have done that befor and succeeded, but more often when I do it, I crash amd burn miserably. The gains dont outweigh the potential for loss...imo. Its likely your ph is on a steady change and you dont know it yet. As the ph changes, nutrients will accumulate faster, exponentially if you think about it. Nute buildup changes the ph which increases the nute buildup. What happens, or has happened with me is it goes good better great great great FUCKING AWESOME....oh shit. Whats going on? Oh fuck. holy shit....oh nooooo. Fuuuuuucccckkkk!!! Yeah. Something like that.

BUT..... If you wanna do it like that, make sure to flush every two weeks, not three. You can follow a flush with nutes, but flush....
theres a reason why people do it a certain way...because they are more frequently successful. People arent usually successfull with your approach. Remember, the gains dont outweigh the potential loss. Be wise.

Good luck. Keep us posted ok.

im actually using airpots and coco coir they suck everything out in 2 days and im back to nuking maybe a moronic assumption but i don't believe you get nute buildup as bad with coir as you would with soil it holds no nutritional value its basicly just a place for roots to grow.

damn man...ur using just regular t8 bulbs? thats awesome...my first grow is in the process of failing miserably. feel free to check it out...in my sig...

anyway your ladies look amazing, and I'm jealous. i would love to know more about the setup. what is coco coir? is that one of those DWC buckets with the rocks or something? lol total noob sorry...

.... Well, from my understanding coir does have a tendancey to build up certain nutes, I think calcium being one. I dont grow in coir, but you should do some reading up on it..... All sub strates will build up nutes. I grow promix qhich has less salt buildup tendancies than coir and I would be worried if that was happening in my garden.

thats why it pays to find a schedule thats convenient for you and get up and cut the lights on and off yourself...shit i mean you only have to get up to do it twice a day tell me is your investment worth it?

so today i came home and all my lights were off in my grow room i opened up my bloom room and the lights were off went downstairs and the breaker was off.

the heater must of popped on at the same time the lights came on and blew the breaker. it was on for about 2 hours before it turned off so about 11 i didnt get home till 2 but i just kept them on didnt screw with the timer or anything so they got 2 hours light 3 darkness then back to 12/12 whats the possible negative effects that could come from this?

bump bump bump

Possible affects of inconsistant light schedule? Hermaphroditism. Dont overload your breaker dude, this is "how to not burn your house down while growing weed 101" seriously man....

If ypu cut corners sacraficing quality for ease, so will your plants.

Definitely Phil is right on bro inconsistant light schedule will hermie the crap out of your plants - once probably wont hurt but you need to get them on a different breaker cause if that keeps happening youll be screwed . Plus the fire hazard .

That's one reason I use timers and check them constantly to make sure they are working . All that on and off stuff was just a pain in the ass for me but I still check them and a couple of weeks ago the timer got stuck and didn't come on for a few hours I quickly corrected it , found one hermie 2 days ago and ripped it out . I don't think it was from that one time but it only did it after that happened . Probably was genetic .

you guys are gonna shit yourselves when i post pics of my plants.

I just want to say, you can't over feed a plant. A plant will only take in what it needs and leave what it doesn't. The nutes that the plant doesn't take up, it stays in the medium and dries to salts causing salt build up. I've had a really heavy feeder with a bag seed and I just ended up uping the dose but when my clones hit the nutes I decided to Feed 1 normal, 1 heavy and the only difference I saw was the heavy feeding caused the plants to stay green thoughout flower while the regular dose had the bottom leafs yellow at the end of flower. Growth was about the same throughout, not much of a difference.

If you feed every other watering, and water plain in between you can get away with over feeding a plant but you're just wasting nutes IMO. However there are different opinions when it comes to nute dosing.
