My schedule is more like: water, water, water, water, water, compost tea, water, water, water, water, water, molasses.
Think about it this way: I only gave my girls compost tea only once in veg and only once in flower so far.
, do you put anything else in your compost tea? I have to supplement with cal/mag or I get deficiencies thats why i'd feed ever other. Do you use seaweed or any kind of kelp extract?
I like that schedule
There are many ways to make compost tea. What I do myself is put about a cup or so of composted manure into a 5 Gal bucket and fill about halfway with water. I put a bubbler in there and brew it for a few days. I also add about a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses into the mix to feed the microorganisms.
I don't supplement with cal/mag because my tap water has lots of it already in it. I just test my water with a TDS meter and adjust to read about 60.
I have bought a kelp product but haven't used it yet. I will sometime during this grow though. Maybe sometime next week.
Sounds like a good set up and plan. I remember the other guy that said he doesn't feed to often and uses water mostly well that is usually do to soil when you use soil it holds important nutes for a longer period of time unlike a soil less media where you have to constantly feed and now a days a lot of the soils your purchase have micro nutes and additional support in the soil itself. Your final flush remember the plants themselves hold onto nutrients so when you flush the plants will burn up the additional nutes in about a week or so adding to your flavor. So just water that last week or two is critical some people add stuff for flavor but I don't with excellent results.

Masterbuder welcome! good to hear from you. Excellent info in your post, I definately learned my lesson on underwatering. I think my initial super soil in the bottom half of the pots was a little on the hot side, which could also have contributed to the high PPMs
Last grow I flushed with carbs (sucanat) and had good results, although I still had OC+ in the soil. This grow the last couple weeks will be similar to your method. I'll feed with sucanat once a week in flower up until the last week then remove the OC+ and flush the plants thoroughly with straight water, no more food for these ladies just plain water till I start a choppin

When do you give them the tea in flower? I was thinking around the second week after going 12/12. I think I can probably only veg these guys for another couple weeks so i'll probably wait till flower. oh yea do u just use an airstone to brew the tea?
Thanks hemp and by the way your plants are picture perfect!
What do you keep your room temp at? I keep mine between 70-80degrees consistently.
.Right now the room temp is between 70 night and 75day. Probably gonna crank up the CO2 now that the ladies are doin better post flush. That should raise the temps to 74-80. Humidity is usually around 40-50 cause of the dehumidifier which runs while the lights are on.
Good, sounds like you got a heater. I use an oil radiator heater that works awesome gives off a good radiant heat and runs very efficient about $30 at homedepot. The guys at the grow shop recommended yesterday that I don't have to use a flushing agent due to the ch-elating process that basically only unlocks the nutes to make them available and doesn't really assist in the runoff they said just water would do the trick so I might try during the earlier stages but final flush ill use because it will make those stored up nutes more available for the plants to uptake the left over ferts. Look forward to more pics.

Twin Querkles
Bushy Querkle 17" tall and over 20" wide
Watered the two late starters today, the Bubba Kush and Blue cheese are both taller than the Pkush runt which had over a month head start. I fear there won't be enough room for the runt and maybe one other Pkush if the larger 6 plants keep bushing out. I raised the light 6 inches today so hopefully they stretch a little. Spent over an hour and a half trimming today, never thought i'd say this but theres just too much damn bush in there
Looks good man I like it. What are you trimming buds? For me a good way to tell if you should move the light up is put the back side of your hand above the plants if its hot like kinda would burn you that is a good indicator to move the light up the key kinda is to keep the light as close as possible without burning the leaves which Ive done you can tell if the top leave start to yellow a bit. What Ive learned is light is the most important factor for production even over nutes,co2 and basically everything else. Also the pots on the edge of the tray due you rotate them so the shaded side gets light? Just a suggestion but you can just turn them once a week. Ive never Lstd do you think it adds to your final numbers because Ive heard of people doing it when they use cfls to flower personally I crop the top about 1 week into flower.
I think it does increase final numbers but it also takes up more floor space.
