Rep +! Why do all of the bloom nutes have P and K? I can't wait to try your method on my next grow. I keep adding info from your grows to my grow reference guide

You need to write a book!

Here are some tip shots from my garden:

I also started my new outdoor thread!



Cheers,

Thats awesome Mo sooooo jealous!!

byw. N = Nitrogen / P = Potassim / K = Phosphorous the number next to each letter on the bottle refers to the strength of that particular element. A great thing to look for recommending strengths and concentration of certain brands. They may all dilute differently depending on your water source also unless using RO 4 stage filtration water. Then it really depends on what you put in to your feeds. Deficiencies are more likely to occur with RO if you don't use additional additives. I hope that makes sense

Those pix should be blown up huge and hung in an art gallery. Gorgeous!!! Enjoy your brunch also thanks for the tease lol

Ya I know man, plant count was way outta control but I was supplying 11 peeps, myself included with meds. Long story short, I was stressing out way to much and couldn't do it anymore. Hence why i'm so interested in your set-up.

I believe in life the path is lead by karma, and you my friend give off good vibes!!! Karma plus++ Peace man, have a good day.

LOL thanx alot man, happy to be here! my setup wouldn't be enough for 11 people for 3 months work, but a couple would be a nice start and easily manageable, but that depends on if you make your leftovers into concentrates to help their meds go further....1 goes a looooooooong way with me, i make hash outta bud and oil, all sorts and always enough to smoke till next harvest

Thanx again for the compliments, Karma indeed exists

Most of the patients now go to a dispensary that just got established a few months ago now. They don't need my assistance anymore. It's a big weight off my shoulders. I knew the risk but kindness and compassion is more important to me than any laws.

Do you get a large ph swing with your set-up and/or is it easy to manage the swing?? Peace!!

*As Moh said, you should write a book, specific to your set-up. Change the face of tent growing everywhere!!

Very nice Slayer, Looks like u have a nice spot for her. Look forward to seeing the end of season report

I actually have my friend, for the moment is is called funnily enough... 'FlowaMasta's Growing methodology' not published as such, but one day i will expose a few things. I do agree that i'm no where near the average mix ya nutrients and grow kinda guy, although it's as easy as that, i obsess very much so if any changes occur i'm smack on top of them. I have taken the time to observe, monitor and record EVERYTHING i have done in my grows. I tell you one thing! this grow is going in for a looooooooong dark cure not 1 crumb of this is going to waste. The potency is through the roof on this girl, literally dripping off the plant. Weight is at an ALL TIME greatest achievement i've never seen my colas put soo much weight on by day 40. These things are all over the place and obese to the MAX. If i didn't have the crazy airflow, and awesome circulation there is NO WAY i could grow these buds this big.

NEWS !!! the 1 branch i did NOT tip, is NOT the biggest cola!!. I REPEAT!! It is NOT the biggest Cola! i could of gotten 3 colas that size on that branch, just like you see on the rest of the plant. It just goes to show, if you have a strong sturdy healthy plant, a good topping will increase your yield. It's obvious. You can't fool yourself when you see results like this.

just WHAT the hell is going on in my tent? what have i done? have i grown 'THE HULK'? 'SHREK!!!?' either way, this thing is taking over my house LOL!!!

Update. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? I CERTAINLY AM NOT.

Day 40 Flowering, and things have gotten OUTTA CONTROL!!!!

Very nice. Drooling on the kb, 1 sec lol. This round you did w/o the (I think it was called) PGR. Slows down stretch to promote tighter nodes? Also do u plan on getting another UVB light or just move the current one around? Can't wait to join in on the fun. Nice macro shots, looks like mostly clear with the occasion milk.

Btw, started a thread in breeders paradise. Just playing around with Crystal Limit from KC Brains, from a few yrs ago. Waiting to get the coin for my new cooltube n 6in fan/filter. Peace!!

This is a feed method i stick to

Not sure if you seen my mention about how i have eliminated nitrogen foods during flowering, and i have a strong custom feed schedule that i follow now. That is nothing close to cyco's which saves me huuugely in cost of nutrients. I'm just gonna say it. Zyme is crap in my system, as is uptake (too weak. All watered down.....fact.) I feed hard and strong during veg, close to full strength base (grow A+B) make sure she gets plenty of carbs! Too many and her leaves can droop, just right and it brings on vigor. I also use B1 boost at 1 ml, silica 1 ml, and a form of humic acid...( i go floralicious strong concentrated and its the good stuff )

Also another key in my method is my topping technique just before flowering, and JUST at the right time ( after topping the new growth splices up recovers ) so the energy goes straight to the heads. Starting Flowering with a heavy flush and a good hard dose of a sugar feed that maybe high in potassium but low in phosphorus (Potash), this delays the Swelling of Calyxs and helps more of them grow instead. While feeding the base/sugars and carbs instead of an immediate phosphorus regime you should theoretically get more bud nodes per flower.... (less stem + more bud) once i see the calyxs producing at a heavy rate i then determine when to introduce Swell. (phosphorus) BUT only after you have completely flushed the potassium. THE 2 DO NOT COMBINE AND CREATE ACIDIC SALTS (also hygroscopic). NEVER FEED POTASH AND SWELL TOGETHER.
Almost like clockwork after introducing swell the leaves turn almost black/green dark and the phosphorus goes to work straight away, there may be a day of a mild transition once again, as the delay catches up, the plant can continue producing resins and mass weight with all the extra flower sites and all that extra stored energy.


I feed Potash for the first 3 weeks roughly at just over 1 ml per litre. (60ml in 40 litre res)
I feed Swell until the last week of harvest. A good 3-5 days in my books of flushing after introducing swell.... atleast.


This is all my wording, also my own researching to come to this technique in addition to what i have been taught.

Sorry man that was copy and pasted, BUT from my own brain This all a strict follow through now for me. For me, my erb seems as good as i can grow it, if it were any better my mrs wouldn't smoke it lol It's the best i've had it years so i must be doing something right...?




early sexing isn't always a bad thing, preflowers can just determine the plant is mature enough and has enough flowering hormones built up, Actual transition is another thing but keeping foods topped up and maxing out before flowering is the best thing you can do in my opinion, Once you change the light schedule the plants immediately know to release the flowering hormone which triggers the actual flowering at a molecular level. It really helps to have high potassium during the beginnings of flowering and low phosphorous. This makes the fast transition, and transfers nutrients to flowering tips. It is in a way force flowering but in no way a bad thing. Mixing phos and Potassium that's a bad thing.


Have 2 bongs for me man what a legend , you are going to enjoy that more than most will be on this entire site


good man but that many plants!? crazy. I love my scroggin man, makes so much more sense to me you got yourself some sweet erb though, and thats the main thing! smoke on man thanx for the pics. Threadworthy


As long as she bubbles hard and keeps the entire res agitated and not stagnant. If that happens your food goes shit in a day. Your plants will also be deprived of Oxygen.
My water source is ok here ppm of only 120-170 and fairly low mag, zinc, cal so i rarely need high top ups with any mag/cal additives. I've flushed with tap water and had great results, but the first 3-4 days of flush i replace res with spring water from the supermarket. I swear it makes the room smell fresh and it seeps into the plant, gives it a boost Then tap water till chop

Res temp stays ambient temp. 21.5 degrees light on, 18 degrees light off. Res is on outside of tent

Thanks!! Truly appreciate it!

Hey FlowaMasta,
I just gave my girls some seaweed extract I bought a few months ago. It is mostly Potassium so I hope it gives them the added bud sites you described. I had started giving them Bloom nutes (0-10-10) which in the U.S. is really 0-5-8 (if Wikipedia is correct). I am already seeing an increase in buds and size
Cheers,
Mo

Oh and BTW - You should move to CA or Spain and become a breeder because you are growing the dankest most amzingly fast frosty buds I have ever seen anywhere! I know this will hurt Slanty and LordJin's feelings but they know it is true

Flowa's Morning ritual

This morning i got up, some skunk was beckoning to be smoked..... As i peeled open a very carefully selected Primo UVB exposed bud the stench that came out of this golden egg when i cracked it was incredible. It hit me in the face like a wet dog at the beach. WOW this had become strangely putrid but still sickly sweet to the long slooooow smell i had for it while holding it just under my nose. I couldn't wait to carefully slice n dice this juicy tender selected nugget but i thought to myself, I'm a nice guy!

The least i can do is SHARE with you some pics of a delicately preserved primo UVB bud so enjoy, pics got nice and clear when i opened the window to a glorios sunny spring day getting ready to blazy my brain at 10am. What an awesome day. How could it get better? i get to see more Jack x Skunk growing later tonight in it's 6th week of ripening. That's how.
Have a buckety, have some hash, get as high as you can and enjoy my macro pics that this Samsung cam can pull off in sunshine.

LOL! Love that compliment haha i drool too don't you worry i sometimes think i maybe slightly 'not all there' hehe.
Yes this round is strictly without the PGR's to get a perfect view on what i can yield without and with some experimental training. I was worried to begin with, a slightly slower flowering transition, maybe another 5-7 days but nonetheless the catchup because of the extra health and vigor the plant had, The added photosynthesisi i believe had energized her to the point of no return!
Yes i will be buying another UVB light, they do add 3-4 degrees to your tent so a thing to consider. Try to keep them near an inlet to a cool tube or something if having trouble with temps.

But mainly my temp comes from my HPS without my aircooled hood, which is EXACTLY what i was going for this round. Last grow with this strain i got the nice cold temps during the day with winter, and night with the light on she was blazing very efficient spectrums at the same time as having no stress from any heat. (light on temps were 21-24 degrees, then going to as low as 13 with lights off, i got some amazing pinks and purples on colder sections of the plant) That was imediate smoke once dry by the way. Purples actually come from the Flavanoids (sugary parts of the plant not from the buds but from the leaves), it only happens during later stages of ripening from what i've researched and as the plant goes into winter mode she draws the chloraphyl out of the leaves and the green pigmentation leaches from the leaves and we are left with the natural colours of the leaves without the Green chloraphyl we see in summer and spring I got fascinated with this occurance and always thought the colours like purple were a bogus factor. The are a little of both, more so for a flavour and a visual point of view. This time i was going for a strictly Hot summer grow to bring out the skunky side of the strain more and i'm thinking it will up the potency even more because the plant is trying to shield itself from even more sun and UV exposure. I will still get colouring off the leaves like in autumn, but this will be from dropping the food off, and starting to dilute my res to almost fresh water before my final flush.

Not a problem man happy to jump on here and do what i can! sorry if it seems sparse while i'm on here, i cant sit here all day even though i could, i have a woman to attend to yes a real woman lol and she requires just as much if not 10 times the attention of my green monster plant

thanx for being here!~ enjoy the show.

Good man i wasn't aware the us had different dilute rates, maybe this is due to your tap water perhaps? I'm fairly sure the number of the bottle refers to its dilution rate once mixed so it maybe counting on the quality on US average... this is a guess.

lol glad you like, It is a beautiful strain I truly believe this round will be my most potent yet. I can't wait to make some fresh bubble with the sugar leaves. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Again...that's so not fair

I may be in your neck of the woods in the next 2 months some time for work, we may have to catch up for a beer and talk growing

Seriously man, someone said it before, you should write a book!!

lol, we'll see ... it is a little different from the mainstream i guess, but very simple. Well i hope i make it seem so. The few people on RIU seem to be going great you know who you guys are hm hmmm I think alot of you will find that something grown quicker can be be alot less problematic and easier to adjust. my opinion

True man, but your method speaks high through the evidence that you produce, and that's unbelievable buds

everyone comes to the west coast or europe for that we need more countrys on the map like to get known for their weed and raise acceptance

I would love to sample your native OZ strains. Have you tried any?

I just think it would be nice to see you growing in an environment where you did not need to hide your talent!

I try to follow the plants own accordance, if it looks stressed find out why. I have a young child so going through the troubleshooting things happens automatically i'm not happy unless everything around me is. Does that make sense?

by native OZ strains you mean the average outdoor bush erb? there is plenty of that about around february time mid-late summer time here and the good stuff will go for the same price as outdoor and sometimes hard to tell the difference without smoking. 'Native' wouldn't be that far from most land race sativas i imagine, if there is plants growing at their own pace more than likely they will be sativas and grown heavily around Pine plantations, and usually end up with quite a piney taste, very familiar and loved by many. Indicas take more care grown outdoors in my opinion i've always got less yield with minimal looking after, the sativas go mental by themselves. But a heavily fed outdoor indica grows perfect if well looked after in a nice well fed medium. I've had alot more playing around with outdoor plants than what i have had with indoors, as to why i'm starting to experiment with indoors a little now. Utilize what i've learnt outside and bring it inside by cheating almost every aspect of each perfect climate and only picking strains suitable for our hot dry climate I can plant inside and out and always get potent quick growing smoke. If i were to pick something truly Sativa one day i'd have a mighty grin as i'm starting to like the psychoactive effects that sativa has on the mind.... very racey. Mixing indica and sativa is a gold mine! best of both worlds. Saying that soon it will be harder and harder to find True Indica, and True Sativa. I just ordered a book on Cannabis Indica, there is also one for sativa, so i will be looking into both of these as both were only published in 09 of 2011. They will be a great source of info by actual geneticists. Featuring actual True Genetic strains with each their own climatic conditions for perfect growing. These books i will read word for word. check them out if yo will..

I was look at getting the Sativa book. I know I read some info on one of the sites that talked about the native OZ strains that the aboriginal people smoked.

Are you an old fucker like me that sampled some of the old strains? If not, you can ask your mentor about some of the old local strains - I would be interested in the answer. Probably Thai and Hawaiian...?

Hey FlowaMasta - I posted some info about the hemp history in OZ on my thread so I wouldn't overload your thread. It is interesting stuff.
