How to bulk up buds in flower phase?

[Pinball Wizard]

What would be the most useful in a perlite/vermiculite hempy pot?..late flowering, week #7

molasses? more potassium?



EDIT: the pic contains different weeks of flowering, different strains, but all hempy

 

[Dready_jake]

God I hope those are each a different plant lol jk they look good man. Besides the ones that don't look like they have been flowering as long they look like they filled out pretty well from this side of the web
Or was it the ones in the back you were asking about?

 

[yortbogey]

maintain environment... 100%.... allowing for as little temp flux as possible....

the best results i have encountered was foliage spraying Zinc and iron starting week 5 ending week 6 with proper ventilation

In order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of micronutrients (iron and zinc) on yield and essential oil of chamomile, two field experiments were carried out in 2008 and 2009 at the Research Station of Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tabriz, Iran. Both experiments were arranged as factorial on the basis of randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Treatments were foliar application of micronutrients (Fe, Zn and Fe + Zn through ferrous sulphate and zinc sulphate at the concentration of 0.35%) and time of application (at stem elongation, flowering and both stages) with control (without foliar application). The results showed that flower yield, essential oil percentage, and essential oil yield increased by foliar application of Fe and Zn compared with control (untreated). The highest flower yield (1963.0 kgha -1), essential oil percentage (1.062%), and essential oil yield (20.835 kgha -1) were obtained for Fe + Zn spray treatment with about 46.4, 24.64, and 81.77% improvements in comparison with control, respectively. The time of foliar application had significant effect on flower dry yield, essential oil percentage and essential oil yield. The foliar application at both stages of stem elongation and flowering had more beneficial effects on these characters as compared with spray at only one stage. It seems that foliar application of iron and zinc can considerably improve flower yield and essential oil content of chamomile especially in calcareous soils.

My opinon is more potassium weeks 3-6

 

[Dready_jake]

Idk I avoid foliar feeding cuz I don't believe the plants feed like that in nature and its typically just a bandaid for a problem at the roots.

I'm not necessarily against it I just wouldn't do foliar personally. And I'd never spray anything on a budding plant. But that's just me. Everyone is different

How to bulk up buds in flower phase ......?

"We" have all been suckered in, this post could be entitled

"How Do I Increase My Yields ?"

Heh yup. Good genetics and providing a proper environment, as previously stated

 

[ariston]

Apart from making sure all basic factors are kept in check, PK13/14 has shown to increase yields for many of my grows and there is scientific literature on the matter showing that it does increase fruit production. Just make sure you flush in the end.

 

[FunkBomb]

High phosphorous bat or seabird guano works very well when combined with a good bloom fertilizer. Enviroment is the key - keep it stable and you'll have happy plants.

minimize your temp variation with day/night cycle as much as you can
more CO2
mo potash

anyone have experiences using fox farm cha ching or open sesame or something similar?
what boosters have you used

 

[TNTBudSticker]

Dry ice one week on 6th week and increase light 13 on /11 off....Sort of tricking the plant to regrow again.Run out of dry ice then go to 11 on/14 off.

 

[Dready_jake]

What would dry ice do?

And I've never used boosters personally. When I upgrade to where I can run two or more tables I'll try one Rez with a booster and see what happens.
I'm a less is more kinda guy and unless I find "need" I try to keep it simple

 

[JamieShoes]

wow there's some interesting advice in this thread... still, thankfully a couple of people mentioned boosting P and K in weeks 4/5 ....

edit: and don't forget to replace your bulbs regularly .

badly grown

better grown

second time around less nitrogen in second phase of flower, more magnesium through first phase. make sure they don't run out of calcium. not too much P it has a negative effect.

right amount of P

too much P

i never add any snake oil to my grows. only additive i've ever used is molasses, unless you count bacteria, sometimes i add mycos. just adjust the ratio of food for the different phases of grow. that's all you need to do. all this extra shit people add only ends up having a negative effect. i pulled over an ounce out of a cutoff 2 liter bottle with coco and a mish mash of various brands of nutes to make my "complete formula". wasn't even trying hard, and this was a terrible grow plagued with issues on 300w. i see people on here struggle to get one ounce out of a huge bush they put in a 3 gallon pot. under a 6 or 1k. growing plants, any plant is easy as dirt literally. everyone needs to stop force feeding their plants. less is more.

 

[HerBnGorE(illa)]

I had a strain that I couldn't use nutes for . just ph water.. and it stayed perfectly green. I have 2 clones im putting outside this year of it . just to see what the deal is.. but if I put any nutes all leaves would curl down..

Hey jointOp. You know what strain that is?

 

[Dready_jake]

Was it in soil or coco. Soil doesn't require added nutes typically.

Start with very healthy mothers, dialed in propagation, as soon as roots show, move to rooting/veg area with strong light and perfect environment. What you then have is a perfect clone, growing with great vigour,. Put that into flower and keep your flower garden within environmental spec.

Once you have that nailed and regularly producing +/-600g/M2 under a 600, you can start some experimentation with additives etc on a few plants, honestly measuring the differences to make sure the new snake oil actually genuinely works.

Obviously if you want yield you are not growing in soil.

Well said my friend

This takes more sq ft per plant.

Topping and tie down the main branches to open the middle of the plant. The larf I used to cut off will now produces great buds.

My yield went up after my plant count per light went down (because of the plants being tied down and taking more space). I could still run the same number of harvests per year.

It's Co2 ...plants love that stuff..It can handle increased heat as well under Co2.Increased stress,fat buds.This 2005 SourQueen F2 loved it
