U should try feeding everything @1.2-1.3 ec..Most of us grow multiple strains in every run. I haven't found any that needed more then 1.3ec. Its been like this for 5 years here.

If handwatering coco twice a day to runoff would you guys still only feed 1.3 max?

Im maxing out around 850ppms or 1.5 and they seem to enjoy it, also I keep the pH around 6-6.2 in flower but might do 5.9-6.0 instead.

I was told 5.8 to 6.0 in veg, and 6.0 to 6.2 in flower.

Thanks bro, that means putting a separate water system in because I’ve got other strains but I’ll give it a go , I think you was the man who advised me to down EC to 1.4 originally :tiphat:

I’ll be back with better results next time I hope lol


Hammer beat me to it .... but yeah try feeding everything that low in flower , it seems to really help fatten the buds more .
i may have said 1.4 at one time because i was feeding at that myself for awhile ..... but sense dropping it the buds seem to swell more & i get a faster fade at the end .

So do you start rooting a clone the day it pops roots? :biggrin:

Has nothing to do with flowering, I get your humor.

So if you guys all think flowering starts when you flip to 12/12. Then that means if I start seeds under 12/12 it would be flowering the whole time and yes seeds can be started under 12/12 not that I ever do it but can be done.

yes, if you are flowering seeds I guess it would be the same, its just a standard almost everyone goes by, it really means nothing if you harvest when there completely done, I don't even think Hammer counts, I know I see pictures of plants that say 4 weeks and the buds look like 8 weeks so I am assuming they count like you do, to each there own

I'm glad you recognized I was just kidding around. No harm meant to be sure.:)

Dans do you think using v&b hard like I do that the max ec of 1.4 in flower might be ok or do you think I should stick with ec of 1.3? Also “Dansbuds Garage” is looking pretty sweet. I know you are chomping at the bit to get her 100%. Knowing you though it won’t be to much longer and you’ll be locked in.

Every seed pack u buy list flowering time from the day u flip. It takes about 2 weeks for enough hormones to build up signaling flowering has started. Some don't count this time but most of us do. I put dates on my plants. There pulled when ready regardless of flowering time. Most are done in 60-75 days. Very rarely do I find any that need more time then that.

Yeah I know but it’s what keeps us old farts going lol

I'm so old I live through watching others build and do the crazy shit I did all my life, there is so much more to work with now days, I would have been broke as hell no matter how much I could grow

Rooting flowering cuts is super easy. I don't do anything different then veg cuts. Never lost a cut in my mist cloner yet.. The later you take cuts the better. New growth from early flowering cuts(30 days) will grow funky. New growth from cuts taken week 6 will not.

The plants are finally throwing some healthy looking new leaves. I know side branches grow with alternating right and left leaves. Main stems have always grown right and left together. Now the main stem is alternating left and right.

Will it go back? Will all cuts do the same??

Thanks!!

Once its reverted back yes. Should look the same as veg plants. All cuts taken late in flower will grow normal new growth for me.

i've had much better results with the lower EC during flower the last 6 months or so ..... so yeah stick to around 1.2 ..... & some hungrier strains might stay a little yellow so give them 1.3 & see if it helps green them up .

each room is going to be different , lights , environment , temps etc ...... so each room is going to use different strength nutes to keep the plants healthy ...... just use what i say as a base line & tweek yours from there . you may need less ..... you may need more .....


thanx , that garage is kickin my ass !!! i can't wait for it to be useable !!! it will never be completely done , they never are :biggrin:
