Following Fox Farm feeding schedule - Any other ways to increase yield?

Other than my lighting setup, which are CFLs with mylar on the walls, are there any vitamins or supplements that could increase my yield during flowering?

My plants are under LST and they have a great level canopy below my CFLs. I'm using Fox Farm big bloom and Fox Farm tiger bloom according to the schedule.

Should I add molasses to my watering cycle?

Has anyone had any experience with using these odor gel air fresheners? would it hurt the plants if kept close?

Renuzit super odor killer lol

Yeah get some HID's

I use FoxFarms Beastie Bloom, Cha Ching and Open Seasame. You might check into those. Although for real growth you should probably check into some lights.

Nice plants; good work so far.

The FF schedule is a little whack -- don't start the Tiger Bloom right at 12/12. Wait until your height growth levels off first. Stick to Grow Big up to that point.

Vitamins and supplements? Some people swear by them. There isn't one strong piece of research or controlled trials that demonstrate any benefit. A waste of money, IMO, and not nearly as important as light, water, temp, air circulation, etc.

I doubt the odor gel deal will hurt your plants, but I wouldn't put it in an enclosed space with them (looks like your plants are in a closet?). I also doubt that thing will squelch the odor coming off those plants, either - it's just too big a job for it.

Well an HID light would be impractical for my closet, so CFLs were the only route i could go.

Odor is definitely an issue for us right now. Currently we have 5 of those in the same room and we're gonna get a lot more to try to overwhelm the smell. We're also looking into a DIY carbon filter.

Also this is the 2nd week of flowering and i just began giving my plants Tiger Bloom starting with a 1/2 dose. They seem to be loving it since i fed them this morning

I just threw one of those renuzit away. I was blowing my exhaust at it, which seemed to help, but they don't last very long...they get less potent and the gel dries up after a week or two.

I would think if you get a couple of em it'll help out, otherwise I'd just get some ona gel for around $15. It doesn't smell as good as those renuzit, but works pretty good.

A morning doesn't tell you anything about how a plant is responding to a feed. It can take several days and/or multiple feeds. I'm jus telling ya.. if you put your plants into stretch on TB, you'll blow em up.
