Hi All,

If in Flower stage... For how long?---showed sex at 15-21 days, currently on day 35

If soil... What size pot?---3 gallons for 3 of them, 2 gall for the one PEX Miracle Grow experiment
Size of light? 400W MH/HPS

Any Pests ?----- small bout of Spider Mites at week 2.5, bastards...used Neem Oil and No Pest for one week, took care of it
How often are you watering? bi weekly, PH'd water that had rested for 24 hrs to gas off chlorine Sat and Wed (feed on Sat, water only on Wed)
Type and strength of ferts used?------
nothing for 28 days, then FF nutrients

Day 28

per gallon---
1.5 tsp Big Bloom,
1/2 tsp Grow Big
1/2 tsp Tiger Bloom,
1/4 tsp Open Sesame
1 tbsp Blackstrap Mollases.......


Day 35
1.5 tsp Big Bloom,
½ tsp Cal-Mag +
1 tsp Tiger Bloom
1/4 tsp Beastie Bloom

I will use same schedule for day 42 but increase Big Bloom 3 tsp per gallon and replace Beastie with Cha Ching on day 49 and day 56......then straight PH'd water from then on out, with a few foliar feedings..

Pics attached and comments welcomed!

Thanks! I personally really like the FF line of products, but since I really haven't strayed to much I guess its hard to give a objective opinion... All three, Open, Beastie Bloom and Cha Ching definitely have a place in my process....even if I try out a another primary line of nutes, I will continue to use these extras since the cost vs. reward is so high...you can get the smaller packs off ebay under $20 and will last for for awhile as you only use 1/4 teaspoon per gallon..

Hope that helps and thanks again for the welcome!

How are you finding the P express I did a run ages ago and found them very greedy girls for N.
Hope things are still good and green with you.
