Anything I can during the final month of veg to speed up growth?

I've been staying simple this year just feeding maxsea every other watering.

Most of my plants are 3-4 feet tall right now. All have been topped once. Most are in 30 gallon smart pots filled with good soil.

Can help wondering if I should give them a nice compost top dressing, compost tea, or high N bat guano to push them a little faster and give them a nice boost.

Maybe I'm just being impatient. The middle of veg gets kinda boring and so many people have huge plants already. I get jelly lol.

White Widow, Molasses, Cal-Mag. Brew the molasses overnight to naturally raise Ph. How many gallons do you feed each? Pics?

Yea man. Some compost and guano teas and some beneficial teas . Don't worry though man they will crest . I would trade you if I could. Mine are all ready to dam big with a month of vegg to go for my height restrictions . Imma gonna start later next year . I will be super cropping the heck out of them if I can even get in the green house . With a month to go of vegg and then the stretch you will have plenty big plants for your hearts content. :weed:

Thanks brother. I wish mine would grow as fast as yours. I'm tempted to start earlier next year and run more lights. The wife says I look at them too much and can't see the growth.

Maybe a nice compost/guano and molasses tea to wake up the bennies.

Hehe. At least I'm not alone in that. I have a chair out back. I sit there and read RIU on my phone while I watch the girls grow. The wife only cares about the finished product the rest just annoys her lol.

Just remind her you could be spending all your time and money at the bar. The wife is the medical user in my family. My whole grow is technically hers. I'm the "caregiver" I guess. I make her do most of the scissor work though. Hehe.

So taking mental inventory if the grow supplies I've got in the shed and doing a bit of reading on compost teas.

I've got molasses, a big trash can, and some kelp extract (seems like a popular additive for teas)

I'll need: a pump and air stones, some nice compost or worm castings (or both) and some high N guano.

My soil has kelp, blood meal, bone meal, seabird guano, horse compost, worm compost, etc. already. So the food should be there. Can't hurt to give the bennies a boost though.

Or I could go the lazy route and top dress with guano and compost, then water with molasses.
