Love the info on the strain types, good choices man :-) they sound very tasty

excuse me it's meds time ..

Your room looks really nice dude, and it looks very effective! I like the idea of clamps around the edge of the pots. I'll be watching bro +rep

Peace

awsome man, i have a bunch of those clamp lights too, do you find they are strong enough to support all 3 bulbs without moving? mine can barely handle 2 bulbs.

I don't know how you guys deal with those CFL's..If I even think of using one a burn mark will magically appear on one of the plants... Your babies are looking nicely stacked, Good job there Dr......

Yes, the clamps I had before couldn't handle more than one. I found some new heavy duty clamps that work fine once I tight the grip well.

Some Pics of the nodes. The CFLs have helped keeping a short distance between the nodes (internodes). The 1 blueberry plant that got the CFLS later than the rest have longer internodes. The other Blueberry and the CreamCaramel are well stacked.

CreamCaramel


The longer internodes are visible on the other blueberry.

[StonerGrower]

Very nice set-up. Youll find CFLs are good for one purpose. And thats when your plants get a little taller they will help support the undergrowth. Thats about as far as Ill go with CFLs. Looking good man, what ya feedin them?

Hi, guys, I wanted to post what I have to feed my plants and get your opinion.

First and manly I try to stay with this 3 organic fertilizers:



Seaweed extract is awesome!


Some info on the Seedweed extract:
Liquid Seaweed extract is derived from fresh Ascophyllum nodosum, harvested (under strict Government regulations) from the North Atlantic coastal waters of Nova Scotia. It is a non toxic, organic storehouse of over 60, naturally occurring major and micro nutrients, carbohydrates, and 18 amino acids, vitamins and naturally occurring growth promoting substances, which enhance flower production, plant vigor and overall plant growth! Liquid Seaweed Extract compliments existing fertilizer programs and will produce exceptional results!

The other is a Biostimulant:


Some info on the Biostimulant:


And last but not least..


This is Mosquito eating Bat guano. I have 3 bats that live on my front porch, I just lay a newspaper at night and collect in the morning. The best source for organic nitrogen in my opinion. To feed the bat guano to the plants, I make tea from the guano and then water them with the tea once a week.

Some info on it:
Insect eating bats tend to produce high nitrogen guano which promotes strong plant growth. Fruit bats tend to produce high phosphorus guano which promotes budding and flowering. All guano will include trace elements and highly beneficial micro-organisms. Bat guano contains bioremediation microbes which clean up toxins and thus are great for soils transitioning from chemical to organic practices. Guano also has natural fungicidal and nematocidal properties..

Also just in case i have this as backup:





I try not to use this ones unless the plants shows an specific deficiency.

That's it. What do you think? Is there a way I can overfeed with the organic fertilizers? how often should I fertilize and with what?
