Damn Tona, I never stop sweatin that room. Can you give me a break down on your rotation? How much time they spend in each stage, how many per light, what are your training objectives, do you reuse medium, and average pull per light? Lol sorry for the barrage homey.

I been doin water only mixes for a while now, and am not hitting the numbers I should be. Doin a small coco experiment, just grasping at straws tryin to dial in kinda.

Stay saucy, my naga.

sup my friends,lately i been gettin a few pm's askin me what im doin to get them to go off like they do...how to get bigger denser buds...etc....alot of tht has to do w strains and i guess some of it might be whatever im doin,so i figured rather then respond to eachh pm id make a post describing the way chit goes down from the time i take them out of the cloner till chop..

1st thing is i wait till the roots are pretty long before i cup them....they go into fox farms light warrior,although recently ive started mixin the redbag of fox farms soil,whatever the name of tht is,w the light warrior at a 50/50 mix.this helps the cups stay moist a little bit longer,the light warrior tende to dry out fast...while in cups they get fed once a week with maxi grow...1 tsp per gallon.

next step is waitin for them to get some nice roots wrapping around the cups and coming thru the holes i have cut in my cups,when i see tht its time for 1 gallon pots and fox farm ocean forest soil....these will also get fed 1 x a week until flower.ph at 6.8-7.0 in tht range is fine w me.during this time they get topped at the main stalk,then pinched for the most part after tht to get plenty of main tops going....mind you,some strains do better growing natural,you just gonna have to get the feel for tht as you go,it will be obvious if they like it or not.

next is waiting for them to be ready for 3 gallon bags,or me to be ready for them to go in 3's,whatever comes 1st...
this is where they get a little bit of extra goodies in the soil,not much,nothing fancy,just what i like to do....
i take the 3 gallon bag,i put in the bottom,,2 scoops (w a garden scooper thing) of chunky perlite...then w the same scoop i put in 6 healthy scoops of ffof,1 fat cup of earth worm castings,1 tblsp. of lime,2 more scoops of chunky perlite, and then miix tht all up in the bag real good....yup in the bag,i make less mess tht way now u should have just enough room left for the plant in the 1 gallon pot to be x planted into the bag,put it in then top off w FFOF...repeat w as many plants as your gonna run....let them settle in to the new diggs for atleast 4-5 days before i flip,,this is real crucial to helpin them take off when i trigger them,i think so anyways.

ok now,i use maxi bloom in flower,kool bloom at the end but we will get to tht.....ok 1st day of flower they get fed 1 tsp. per gallon,ph at 6.8-7.0 always thru out the entire grow...next feed will be at 1 and 1/2 tsp. per gallon,next one at 2 tsp per gallon and thts where i stop.....so in around 2 weeks into flower im at 2 tsp per gallon.sometimes faster depending how fast they are drinking....i feed everytime i water,as you can see my strains dont mind at all,i keep a close eye on new stuff so i kno if they are w the program or if they will need special attention,ive never had anything react negative as long as i take it easy and dont rush into 2 tsp. per off the rip...take it up w each feed.

this goes on until i have about 3-4 weeks left till harvest,then i strt w the koolbloom....i.e if its a 70 day strain at around day 50 ill hit the koolbloom on them,again w the maxibloom and everytime i water they get fed....ill do this until i have around 2 weeks left in the cycle,then its just p.h'd water,mollases might get added in there a couple times too to bring some twang on the flavor side...after they flush for 2 weeks approx. i wait till them ppots are pretty much light,not to where the plant is suffering from it but enough so tht all tht water is out the stems and what not,i think this helps it dry better....idk might do other things too but i know it def does not hurt....

ok so i have to say tht there are a few other things i use,during veg i like to use liquid karma every few waterings or so,tht chit makes them roots blow up imho...also i use superthrive if i think they have had any stress,not as a nute but more as a asperin or meds for them....this goes like after x plant,after flip,or if i think they may have had any other stress from anything else ill use it....also it never hurts to keep some cal mag on hand,never kno when ya might see somethin....

i THINK tht about covers it,im sure there is something im missin,im stoned and its ben a long ass night in the garden....any questions or comments are always welcome...im always open ears when it comes to people tht want to drop some knowledge on a playa....

probabaly should add tht i been takin down the dosage of nutes and leading them into the flush the last couple times,read it in tht playa SELFs thread and it dnt hurt to try new things when they make sens ya kno. SELF

btw i know most of the people tht follow my threads kno all of this stuff already but i wanted to help all the newer kats,and let them kno,this shit aint rocket science ya just have to be motivated..i use to use a line of nutes tht had all these different bottles and mixes for all stages of life blla bla bla....i had it dialed,grew like tht for quite a few yrs,if there is no perpetual goin then thts all fine and dandy.but when ur growin perpetualy its easier to not be pretending im fuckin merlin,or mr. wizard,mixing up nutes like im makin a mad scientist recipe....eye of nute...

keep it pimpin.

[Lee Van Kief]

hell of a nice pile you got there t

 

[Tonatiuh]

LVK-yea not too bad but u know how it goes,its never enough.

peace-T-

 

[Lee Van Kief]

no but it'll do. nice lineup too, this your first run with the bear?

 

[InjectTruth]

Killin it, T!

Sorry to be a pain, but do you reuse your mix? Or are you doin the shawshank shuffle with all that dirt every batch :O ?

Gettin really frustrated myself with the yields from the just water only mix i been using, along with the veg times and huge containers. Really really desperate to just pull a nice 1.5-2 from each light for a few runs to get on my feet.

With a pile like that, Im damn near ready to just start fresh and copy a system from the ground up.

Never enough, indeed.

 

[Tonatiuh]

LVK-no this will be the thrd time flowering out the bears.i did the seed run,then reran the best ones from cut,then selected the mama,these are a mix of the 2 best i had.the keeper was #8.shes in a 5 gl pot in veg now.
highly highly recommended.look for the one that smells like b.o.
peace-T-

Inject-never a pain my brotha,no i dont reuse my mix,shawshank shuffle like a mofo.
i have a good spot to dump at though and it only costs me some buds so its all good.
i feel u on the get a few good hauls point bro.gots to have somethin in the tuck.
i was tellin a homie the other day,if i dont hit 8 off these im droppin the strain.im hittin consistant numbers with all the other stuff and i been running the jtr for like 6 years or more anyways,she might have to get her walking papers served hahaha.
