Found this informaiton about Rock Juice.....Guess you dont get something good for nothing.....
''Rock juice is a flowering tonic suitable for all flowering plants.It conttains naturally occurring organic acids, Cytokinins,Auxins,and Gibberellins and also a range of micronutrents found in seaweed.In additon it contains Siliac to enhance flower weight and help reduce the chance of mould."
Rock flower juice is a product that contains plant growth regulators (PGRs), such as anti-gibberellins. These stunt height growth and speed the transition from veg into flowering. As a result, plants are shorter, with thicker, denser colas and are ready for harvest earlier. The use of PGR products is controversial because of the unknown toxicity of many of them and the lack of data on residue amounts. Some think that the amounts used leave too small a trace of PGRs to be of concern when smoking cannabis, whilst others are much less confident. No one really knows the answer.

Andy....standard nutes are dutch feast brand. no other enhancers other than a bit of taranchula bacteria every other nute change (and only a sprinkle).
I just got back from 5 days interstate and the Silver tent has grown heaps, Tent1 White has not really changed. I expect the buds to develop there next week though, as it took the silver tent 2wks to react to the rockjuice....
Yes andrew you are right, the white tent wasnt as 'well' as the silver when i put it to flower. Silver had many more fan leaves or "solar pannels" as i call them...this could have been a factor.
Pics will be up tomorrow.

So i lied about the tomorrow bit....well at least they are up now.
Tent 1 isnt doing that much...kind of stagnating as the hairs have gone brown and there are no new ones growing.....Trichromes are still clear (from what i can see by eye). Its got 20 days to go according to the strain information.....Rockjuice doesnt seem to have done that much. They are at D45 of flowering.

Tent2...whole different kettle of fish.....D35 of flowering and they are getting big buds...but on such small plants. I have never seen anything like this. Remember they are the same strain as Tent1 just 10 days younger and had Rockjuice from D1 of flower for a week, then back to standard flower nutrients at 0.8-1.0EC and pH 5.2-5.8.

Beautiful pics! When do you start your next grow and which tent are you looking to use?

I will start again in January as going away for a month....Next grow will be White Widdow in one tent and Strawberry Cough in the other. (Have some AK47 seeds too, so will grow for a male to get some more AK and also some WWxAK (White Russian) babies too.). It will be interesting growing a male all the way through.
Which tent to use...well i will be using both...The plan was to start T2 in flower when T1 is 4.5wks, hence harvest every 4.5wks (as i will veg in a cupboard). Thats the plan anyway, but it might change.

Im not so sure....yes i think the health plants helped a bit, but the form of the buds is SOOO different. I think the Rockjuice has more to do with it.....given Strawberry Cough isnt meant to be a good yeilder (i.e. T1 is what it should be like and T2 is just the impact of Rockjuice.)
We will see next year when i do the next grow. I might run a second reservoir in the same tent for the first 2wks of flowering so i can do three plants on Rock and one not. Ill see how hard it will be (different height plants etc) and if it will affect yeild too much.
If it is the rockjuice, I wonder what it would do to high yeilding strains...Maybe i should forward some to PitViper hehe.

OK guys time for some more pictures.
Tent1 @ D50
The buds have not changed size for about a week and a half now, so i have decided to flush at day 50 rather than wait till D65. Hence harvest will be after 1.5wks of flushing, or at D60 rather than D65....Do you guys think i am doing the right thing based on the pics??

Tent 2 now at D40
Nice big solid buds forming

Very nice results, i see your getting range a of different size buds with the two tents your running.
Do you think the difference in reflective material has something to do with it, other than the Rockjuice your using? As i've noticed that i get better results using diamond mylar, than using flat white sheeting.

Interesting point TBD....I think its too hard to say as there are too many variables.....one is in hydroton, the other coco, one white tent the other mylar, one Rockjuice at D1 of Flower, the other at D30, one SonT bulb the other GrowLush.....Sorry for not only having one variable this grow, remember this is my first grow for 10yrs so i wanted to just have a play.
My gut feel though is that the difference in buds is due to the rockjuice as the plants that got this at D1 just stopped growing...no stretch at all, paused for 2wks then grew fat buds. If i had known this is what would happened i would have vegged them a bit more to make bigger plants with more fat buds.
Thanks for piping up and adding to the treat TBD.
Thats cool Jamahl
i'll be watching and be about from time to time, good luck bro!

Harvest time......Tent 1 that is. I flushed for 5 days before cutting and have so far got through 3 of the four plants. It took me two evenings to manicure the 3 plants so far.
Quite fluffy buds, but as crystalised as i have ever seen. Not sure what yeild will be...but will post up some pics of the snipped buds etc soon.
Tent 2 has about 1.5wks to go (as i cant leave it any longer due to going away).

Here is the resulting harvest pics....
First there is a pic of the plant then one of the yeild from that plant.
Total weight dried from the 4 plants was exactly 8 OZ...so 2 per plant.
This isnt too bad given:
(1) plants had toxic tent for first few wks of life
(2) this is strawberry cough....know as a low yeilding variety

Yes Andy...i am starting to agree with you....the healthy plants are doing much better. It could be Rockjuice is adding to the difference, but the stems are thicker, leaves are greener....all over the second tent is better (except the plants are smaller due to being smaller when i flowered and also rockjuice is supposed to stop stretch. I think the healthiness of the plants was a major factor.
So basically, buying a "toxic tent" and starting my grow in Feb not only delayed my first harvest till Mid November, it also reduced the yeild. Given that i have a clone room, small veg room i could be harvesting one tent every month, so the toxic tent has lost me at least 5 tents worth of buds......(1) lucky im not doing it for $$$$, just for medicaiton and (2) lucky im not a bikie or something, cause if i was... the guy i bought it off would probably be under a big rock somewhere in the mountains.
Here is a little bud from Tent2 that i cut to test (3days into the flush now)....
This was from around Day52 of flowering.....
