An no prob's at all only products that contain pacalobutrazol must be avoided at all costs.

It stops the stretch, hinders gibberelic acid production and in turn trichrome production which in turn yep you guessed it, lowers thc.

We are growing the weed for the thc.
And cbd blah blah blah.

Pacalobutarazol is not safe for human consumption and is a known carcinogen.

This in response to phosphoload comment, overdrive does not contain any of these dangerous ingredients and in my opinion works fine.

can i ask you a question? this is my first grow and i was using all organic nutes with molasses for my P and K. I had alot of nice buds but not alot of really big colas. So i bought some BUD CANDY , and B-52, and added some VITAL BOOST. My buds started to fatten up but not like i was hoping. My organic mix is off of ebay its called SKINNY CHICKEN ORGANIC TEA. Its really great mix and then for the bloom or flower phase you just up the molasses from 1 oz to 3-4 oz per 5 gallons of tea. So thats the basic mix i wasnt satisfied with so i added BUD CANDY VITAL BOOST AND B-52. Well they still didnt bulk up like i thought they should so i bought some MOAB (Mother of All Blooms) and some Overdrive. Im using the Overdrive first along with all the other mixed in stuff. I also cut the solution in half with water. Im using a self made mix of peat and potting mix without TR nutes.. It seems like i had a little nute burn on the very tips of a few of my plants leaves. What would you recommend? OVERDRIVE OR MOAB for my last 2 weeks of the grow? Im growing Super Silver Haze, Purple Haze, Amnesia Haze, Gold Leaf, Big Bud, and Chocolope. All Amsterdam Genetics.

sorry this is my first grow i dont know what that is . i do have some pictures of my buds. The Gold Leaf has the largest of the colas of all the strains im growing. I cloned the fire out of that strain . I have 45 clones just off of the lowest unwanted branches of this grow. Can you tell me how i will knowwhen they are ready to harvest? I bought a magnifying scope that will go up to 100x. But i dont know how to tell when they are ready. Do you have a certain time you harvest yours? Im in week six and some of the buds have turned thier pistils inward to itself and stared turning red. The big ol Amnesia Haze is 6 foot tall and i can tell it isnt ready by looking at the pistils still sticking strait up. 2 of my Purple Hazes i know are about ready to harvest i have 2 female skunk bagseed plants that arent ready. A super Siver Haze that was a late bloomer and the rest are coming along and should be ready in about 1-2 weeks

When I use the nutrient chart provided by AN, I mix everything by ratio. For some reason, if you mix the nutrients in the quantities it suggests its always is way too strong. Each week, I mixed all nutrients at 50% of what the chart said then took a ppm measurement (let's say it was 1000ppm). Then I used the recommended ppm for each week (say week 4 is 1500ppm) and found the difference from what my actual ppm was (1500-1000=500ppm). This would mean I need to raise 500ppm. It took 50% strength to get to 1000ppm so it should take an additional 25% to get 1500ppm.

Using 0ppm water is always ideal and makes this easier. You can use the same math if you don't have pure water, but you must adjust when finding the difference.

This gives me the same ratios that AN recommends on their chart, and allows me to hit exactly the ppm I'm looking for. You can also adjust your ratios when adding more or less water to the reservoir. If you don't want to use the entire product line, you can cut them out and simply adjust ppm by adding base nutrients. It's not necessary to increase the ratios among all supplements or beneficials. Adding too much supplements can throw off NPK ratios. Base nutrients have the correct NPK ratios, so it's perfect for increasing ppm for supplements you wish not to add or can't afford at the time.

Hope that makes sense. I would post my excel document with the water/nutrient ratios, but I don't know how.

100% agree with you there...even the most greedy plant cannot take a full mix of bloom a and b and big bud..

I've used FF, Humboldt's, Advanced and a few others and AN beats it all. Lots of haters out there mad because they don't wanna pay for it, but that's like saying let's jerk your tooth out with a string and a doorknob so we don't have to pay for the dentist. Plus you don't have to PH AN, it forces uptake at any PH. Which is just fine with me. I can definitely say Fox Farms doesn't compete with the results I get from Advanced Nutes Humboldts nutes are fantastic, if you wanna PH everything always.

Yeah, I guess if you can't afford the cool bottles you just just mix your own. But most of us actually smoke pot and don't feel like it. That isn't to say I don't mix my own soils and bag my own nutes, but i'm sure that's what you assumed and we all know what people say about assuming.

Weird. I have to PH down Jacks pretty heavily and then keep it down until the refill.

lol. Don't even fret, I left this forum long ago. Too many trolls and the mods are dicks, nobody really knows anything. Just internet wiki knowledge. I'd say where i went, but I don't want this forum trolling them and ruining it like they did here.
