yeah so the first heavy feeding i did 1/2 the recommended, then i mixed the regular feeding for every watering per direction, plus i added 1tbsp molasses per gallon. the next heavy feeding will be full as directed by FF.

is it a good idea to continue the foliar misting during flowering?

I am not big on spraying my girls when they flower, but to each its own...

Lookin good bruh. Good luck finishing up!

Looking good man!

today i was poking around in the soil and i found some bugs.. look to be Springtails. I guess they're mostly harmless to plants and roots...? I sprayed some soapy water over the soil and the bugs immediately disappeared deeper but is this something I should even worry about?

[FONT=arial, helvetica, geneva][SIZE=-1]Springtails feed in the leaf litter on decaying plant matter, fungi, and bacteria helping to enrich the soil. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, geneva][SIZE=-1]Restricted to moist soil and litter conditions, springtails do not survive drought conditions. [/SIZE][/FONT]Because of the ease with which moisture can escape their bodies, springtails are extremely sensitive to drying out, and many species inhabit soil. It has been estimated that as many as 50,000 springtails can inhabit 1 cubic foot of organic topsoil. The soil contains sufficient moisture and food for springtails to survive. Their food includes decaying vegetation, fungi, bacteria, pollen, algae, lichens and insect feces. The feeding activities of springtails enrich the soil by breaking down these forms of organic matter and releasing the nutrients they contain. Because of these activities, springtails are considered to be a good indicator of soil health.
So all in all you dont have anything to worry about, your soil is healthy and they are going to add nutes. You should send me a couple of those bugs, lol!

ok cool. i did spray a little soap on the top layer of soil. i guess it helped it dry out a bit. anyway.... new pics.

Plant looks good! Im thinking those bugs will only help, from what Ive read anyhow it seems they will. Good luck bro!

keep it up ..... looking real pretty..... She got a name ..lol....

i didn't name her as its just the one plant. i think it came from a bag of Shipwreck...but i also had some orange crush seeds floating around... who knows...looks sativa to me

is it ok to mix up a batch of Big Bloom and Molasses and leave it in the container for a few days? or are you supposed to mix it up right before you use it. the reason i ask is i had some mixed up a few days ago and i just used it today and it stinks! I think its the molasses that smells so bad.. I guess its not bad its really organic and rich and stinky... just wondering.

Never have left it to sit.... water and eggshell mix yes ..... but never the molasses and big bloom mix.... don't think it will hurt it though...

How often do you water and how much.... you know one cap of the big bloom is about equal to one tablespoon so just adjust your water feeding..example if you feed your plant about 1 quart use one cap ....2 quart use 2 caps ...3 quarts use 3 caps...4 well then thats a gallon so then you back to having it sit... do the molasses the same just divide that tablespoon into 4ths,,,,but it all goes back to how much water you giving her....

i mix up 1 gallon of water at a time for normal feedings. 4 caps of big bloom.. 1 spoonful of molasses. I water using about 2/5 the gallon sometimes a half a gallon. I think the pot is 3 gallon. I water like this about every other day sometimes waiting 3 days.
Then two trains leave from opposite train stations.

WTF is 2/5 a gallon ...lol... J/K ... seems like you could just use just a half a gallon so two caps of fox and half a table of molasses and always listen to her and talk to her she will tell you what she needs ... how she looking now by the way ????
