im all about the experiments. good shit. im gonna flush half my next crop for 3 weeks and the other half will get nutes till the end. flushing is for edibles not smokeables, i just wanna prove that.

makes sense. with organic (soil) i wouldn't flush.

I just watered with molasses the last watering and everything seems perfect to me.. I am using organic soil and nutes though..

I keep hearing about this molasses, but alas, I do not know what it is for. Perhaps I should look into this.

Yea there's a lot of speculation about it, I would like to compare one day and see if it makes a difference.. You will hear a lot of people using it though and to my understanding it helps the plant absorb nutrients better.. Then some say it increases the taste, yield etc.. Who really knows unless you compare yourself.

im pretty sure maloasses ruined a plant of mine once. i used it really heavy on a single plants as an experiment and all the buds went super soft.

thats a bummer. i have been using 1/2 a tblspn per gallon. (the ca/mg and nirvana have molasses too, dont want to over do it.) it has changed the cosistancy of the soil, its kinda spongy now. but, they are getting fat like jerry springer's guests

Sounds good, let see some pics

I was using 1 tablespoon molasses per gallon with no problems all the way through flowering. I'm not sure if it helped but this wonderwoman is ridiculiously sticky!!

hey. here are some new pics of my ladies. all the ladies are 46 days in 12/12. the motovation is getting close. and the white widows look awesome. now, the pics...

nice......

thanks. here is my mataro blue auto. her name is paloma and she is ten days old.



150w hps and tons of mixed spectrum cfls

i have taken samples from all the ladies. (little buds from new little shoots out of the bottom) i let them hang for a day then put with raw rice in a brown paper bag, folded closed, and placed on the ballast for 3 hrs. then taken off the ballast, removed the rice, & left in the bag folded over through the night. then placed in a curing jar for three or four days. this is a rushed method i know, but i want to see how they differ, if they are worth re-vegging. i did this already to my bcn. the hay scent was almost gone today when i smoked it. tastes like pine and grapefruit cut with hay. so, i cut another little bcn along with a ww, wl, & motovation. i will cure them a few days longer. try to drop that wet grass flavor.

the motovation should be done in four days to two weeks.

Those bud pics look great bro, good job!!

thanks man. one to three or four weeks more and they will all be ready for harvest.

the bud samples i took turned out ok. i did quick dry them. (air dry for two days then, med brwn paper bag with raw rice in it, then placed on top a ballast for three or four hours, with the bud in it of course. after that, open the bag to vent. reseal the bag, and leave in a dark area for several hrs. to the rest of the day. then put in cure jar and burped for two days. left in the jar for another two days and smoked and am smoking. thats my fast dry method that tastes not too bad) for the full harvest, when time, i will properly dry and cure.
being that i have not flushed the samples, not going to. i grow in an organic setting. no need to flush the microbes. if i use synthetic fertilizers i will most certainly flush.

i just smoked some of the bcn. being that its not ready yet, it is still very strong. she has been in 12/12 for 51 days or so. almost done. good head high, very social and good for anxiety. very good sativa in my book.

Right on. I start flowering today.

hahaha. thanks. its been almost 8 weeks. a day or two more and it will be. the motovation and bcn will come down soon.
im going to give the 2 ww's and wl's up to two more weeks then two days of no light. pushing for as many crystals as possible on the white verities.
it is getting close. all i have been giving them is camg, distilled water, and molasses, they do seem to like it very much.

Awesome! All the work is finally paying off lol..

I've heard about, 36 hrs dark before harvest does good things, lmk what you think of it when all said and done!
