Well, it's that time of year. All are ladies are heading for the finish line. Throwing out hairs, plumping up and getting frosty. I notice from reading threads from each of the different forums; allot of people are convinced they can force bigger, better buds by dumping sh*t loads of ferts in Mary's medium -wheter it be soil or water. Stuff like 0-50-30 NPK.

Don't be guilty of this practice. Every plant has a genetic potential, it either is or isn't a frosty kind of girl. Some plants like White Widow, frost over to the point, they look as though someone poured a 5 lb bag of sugar on them. Others, you have to look & up close to see any frosting. When smoked, they both may be just as chronic - with or without the frosty looking buddage.
.
Don't get hung up on looks alone. If you started with good genetics - seeds of quality from a reputable breeder - you'll end up with what you paid for. If you started with mystery bag seed - it's a crap shoot.
.
No amount of fertilizers will make shitty genetics into Chronic Buds. The practice of dumping Mega-Ferts on Mary, in the hopes of bigger buds is a waste of time & money.

Mary takes in what she needs, as she needs it, in nature. If you force feed her 0-50-30 NPK ferts during flowering, she takes in what she needs, then starts putting the extra anywhere she can. Storing all that NPK she will not use, in her tissues from top to bottom. I call it Toxic Plant Sydrome - and Man does it taste like sh*t. Not only will you be smoking bud later, you'll be smoking unused - stored NPK ferts too - YUCK.....

So Keep it Real....Organic.... Simple & Reasonable.... Quality not Quantity.....
