Drella don't over fertilize that will lead to alot of unwanted shit like nute burn or nutrient lock up, just keep doing what you're doing it's looking good brah.

Did you forget that he is growing in soil?
All I do is mix the molasses in with my nutrients in a 5 gallon bucket takes me no more than 3 mins to do, no need for pumps and air stones, unless of course you using hydro, which Drella is not.

That's because you're not doing it completely correctly, its kind of lazy.
... a reservoir is not only for hydro.

I used a res in soil, it just doesn't recirculate, its called drain to waste,
and it is much better than doing your 5 gallin bucket with a mixing stick
method.. Aerating the water and mixing the nutes whether you are in
hydro or soil is extremely important if you plan on giviing the plants equal
amounts of fertilizer. All heavier ingredients sink to the bottom, and then you
probably just pour the water on to the soil surface with some type of cup
or watering pail, still with no circulation or aeration, Pumps, circulator's,
airstones, hoses and showerheads are the best thing for watering your garden
not only do the nutrients mix and aerate in the reservoir before application,
the showerhead aerates the water even further when it is sprayed on to the
surface rather than poured...... There is so much air in my mix the water never
settles on the surface of my media, it bubbles and dissipates beneath the surface..
Roots love air, the more air in your water and nutes you give them the more efficient
your plant will use them, how can you argue with that.

Hey man I'd stop using veg nutes since you're not vegging anymore. Your girls need the flower nutes now, and you can use them full strength if you want, just feed with pure distilled every third watering.

Why are all your leaves wet again? If you foliar spray in flower you're going to get a big harvest of botrytis...

yeah, that's what i thought, it's just that i've been getting a lot of advice to use veg nutes while the ladies go through their initial "stretch". if youre telling me that when you switch to 12/12 you change nutes right away, im sold! your ladies still had their initail stretch, without the veg nutes, thanks man, i like to hear what you have to say, you got it dialed in, and i respect your opinion a lot DC!

leaves are wet in veg room, foliar spray. i stopped spraying after you're advice, and the leaves started curling up! i sprayed them, and an hour later the leaves looked super healthy! i don't know if it's because i got my veg in 24/0 or what, but they're always hungry for more nutes!

yeah, i think it's like day 14 or something in my clones. i checked them for the first time today and yeah, 100% sucess. talk about something that puts you in a freaking good mood! i guess i got the technique dialed in. only ones not showing roots yet are the sativas, slow growers, but i love keeping the variety!

Well You're right about roots loving air but it seems to work well for me. I don't have to use air pump to airate my mix, a stick works well for me and the plants aren't complaining a bit. Also it's a plant, it knows how to grow itself I'm not going to spend time and more money on things I simply don't need and will hardly make a difference at all on my over all yeild IMO, But to each their own right?

I used those as well when I was cloning, they worked great, easy to maintain, and
with a heat mat and h2o2 you can root those clones in 7 days flat...

You're just not on the same numbers.... and even thats a no good excuse....
I'm not sure how many plants you're growing but if it were any number bigger
than 10, I'd say you're wasting precious time... Not only in your mixing and
application methods, but in the uneveness and un-aerated state of the nutrient
mixture itself... Overall yield doesn't come from opinion... Yes to each their own.:leaf:


Keep it up Drella, ya shits lookin good

Exactly Drella is not on the same "numbers you are either that is why I suggested him to use a 5 gallon bucket and a stick. A few air bubbles won't make a difference in yeild and roots love air that's is why we use well airated soils with good drainage.

I treat it as a weed and not a magical plant because it's just that a "weed".

Btw I'm growing more than 10 plants not all marijuana and i'm not wasting my time.

yeah, no disrespect to rock wool, but im over rockwool. im using a soiless medium, why not use a soiless cloning medium? it works so good i wanna marry it! it really makes you feel like you can grow when you can clone, because you can continue the legacy! i am a believer in superthirve w/cuttings. i use like 3/4 tsp a gallon of ph'd water for my cuttings spray, the whole time, and they love it!
