Last night I found my latest S Girl had fallen over from bud weight and I had to tie her up. That made me want to tell you folks what I am doing because it seems to be working. I started this journal using FoxFarm products only. If they had helped me instead of telling me flat out no help I would still be using their products. As it is I am still using some, I have stopped using ocean forest soil and am now using happy frog and still using some of the finish nutrients.

Here is my problem with documenting this … I don't measure, I treat each girl different and I have no schedule. Still wanna follow? Ok


So let's see.

Top shelf

Dyna-gro foliage-pro is my “growth” nutrient. I use it almost every feeding and use it to foliar feed. For seedlings, new clones and foliar feeding I use only a few drops per quart, about a ¼ cap-full per gallon. For regular feeding they get about a full cap per gallon.

Dyna-gro Po-tekt is also used almost every feeding about ½ a cap and a couple drops per quart with foliage-pro for the foliar feed.

Cal-Mag this bottle does not contain iron because of my well water. About a ¼ to ½ a cap per gallon.

Then we have Bat poop, the get 2-3 teaspoons per gallon

Second shelf I have some nutrients for a possible coco run and the finishers. When they are popped into 12/12 I reduce foliage-pro to 1/4-1/2 a cap per gallon, keep the pro-tekt going and bat poop and a half teaspoon sucanat. After a week I add a SMALL pinch of beastie bloom per gallon. They get a couple or more weeks of that then I switch to a pinch of Cha-ching instead of beastie bloom. I was doing that till the end but now I am trying the blossom builder I got a sample of right at the end... only a drop or two per gallon and I have reduced the foliage pro to a 1/8 cap at most.

I now have more mold issues and this stuff by Bonide is awesome

This Bontone rooting powder kicks ass over the black jar with purple goo next to it.

Ok so there you have it, clear as mud? Ask away

edit- I only foliar feed in veg once a week

 

[Hozona]

Perfectly clear!

 

[Buckshot]

Perfectly clear!

[Buckshot]

Nope! we were in the baby room, MH all the way baby ... they give a blue hue

no wonder your plants look so amazing Buck.
you've got a tonic for everything!

 

[Aardvark]

Thanks for providing the details, Buckshot. I was wondering whether you use a power-trimmer? Your buds look so nicely-manicured!

Yeah I know, one or two would be nice. Thanks for stopping in. And thanks for the advice you gave THsea... I tried to listen too

 

[Buckshot]

Here are a couple of shots of the seedlings

The two big ones are haze x si The hzsi took long to germinate 3 days longer than all the others and I expected it to be that way all the way but here they are as wide as the pot!! This is one that I am looking forward to trying. I think the rest are various Jx

These two are blue moon x si showing more indica than the hzsi as it should be. This is another hybrid I can't wait to watch grow and test the result.

Buck, looks like you are off to a good start with a nice variety. I will have about six or seven going when I finally get my girls into the bloom tent. The nights are getting much colder now, but knowing AZ it could be in the 80s again next weekYou just never know what to expect here...LOVE the shots of SGirl She has beautiful flowers...You saw what happened to to my MMMF that was outside, such a resilient plant it is that WE grow. She will be more than fine until you take her down...with the care and nurturing you give them, they can't help but survive...
