How to bulk up buds in flower phase?

[waveguide]

mostly grown micro in soil, so containers are always too small. never been able to hit "fat" until recently.. used dyna-gro bloom plus CaNO3 for the last few.

right now i'm at week 10 of the third and best attempt (reducing amount of bloom). still using N, and they're still throwing lots of pistils. got some other kind of booster around i had free, never had these results with it.

not super pro but better than i was doing.



edit - ima add, a real small amount of bloom.. only takes a drop......

Doing okay so far.. but I just was hoping to do the very best.. so far, loving my Molasses..and my Budswell!
The photos are of girls that are in early flower... doing okay.. Just wanted to hear from the pro's as to what they like to do...

I am leaning towards the feeding the soil.. Molassas and budswell are doing great! So far... and the smells.. OMG.. Awesomeness!!!

I can't wait for my darn Baby Super Silver Haze to get growing.. looking forward to that one!!!

Have anyone you guys used any Gravity?

Thank you so much for all you have posted.. love to hear more!

make sure they don't run out of calcium.

this is one thing i retained from a few years closely following nute tweaker grows et c..

feed it properly..yeehaw..fuck gravity and bushmaster..

Feed when needed. Do not over feed. But I will admit, I overdose the hell out of mine with molasses. The teaspoon or tablespoon per gallon thing just doesn't cut it for me. I literally take the bottle and pour a good 5 to 10 tablespoons per gallon, they love it very much, never done no harm only made the stickier and stinkier IME. Definitely can tell a difference in the odor, makes the smell very pronounced.

Try it, I can almost guarantee you will be impressed.

Sometime I also feel beastiebloomz along with chaching really helps, other times I feel like it does nothing!

Spread a little Bone Meal on topsoil during flowering,the fungi mycorrhiza,Get that in the soil with perlite and vermiculite and Earthworm Castings.Throw in some Cal/mag too.

Gotten solid buds.Could be better thou.Sort of a Bog Recipe.It's about making the roots having more room in the soil instead of compacting it hard,slowing growth. It means watering 2X a day when she's really thirsty so if she's drinking,You're doing something right.

Some Dyna-Gro Bloom.She takes off stacking calyxes.

Could move the PH range up and down as to feed her properly.Just throwing ideas out there.Check out the PH Feeding.

You can snip about 1/4 inch off the tops of your buds when they have a few weeks left and they will considerably bulk up!

I don't think so. Any experience or sources? Snipping off bud before its done is a quick way to reduce yields. Especially that late into flowering.

 

[theboogyman]

Plenty of people do it with great results. Its called bud back building. I would link but its another 420 forum.

 

[theboogyman]

You're only snipping a veryyyyy tiny amount off the top of the bud/s. Try it on one bud, you'll see the difference.

 

[Dready_jake]

I'd say if you want something like that, supercrop. I've noticed a deffinitave increase in mass from that. But as a logical scientist, will put anything through its paces.

Edit: I have about 2 weeks left, slightly less. But I had one little foxtail tip(~1/4') so I took it off and will see what it does.

I tried back building, it did absolutely nothing on my plants.

Exactly, there are no funky tricks, no magic potions, it is all bullshit and shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what you are doing.

Healthy plants in a perfect environment growing with maximum vigour will give the biggest yield. Understanding your light, getting bud sites in the productive zone is all you need, 1 gram per watt is pretty easy, even without the highest yielding strains.

This was my friends second ever crop, some mid yielding strains and losses to bud rot, the stonking pot of gold buds could not take the 35 degree midsummer heat so well, lower yielding exodus cheese and Trainwreck had no issues. Canna A&B @2ml/L with nothing else, 2.8 from 4x600, 2400w, almost 1.2gpw. Coco In pots, drain to waste, cheapo reflectors...

While I agree I've never heard of it and it does seem like the usual "snake potions" but I had one plant not testing anything, so I decided to nip off its adorable little foxtail-tip that was starting as it finished. She was a smaller plant than her sisters(barely like a quarter inch shorter) do well see if it makes her catcb up or if its bunk idea

 

[theboogyman]

Lol, if a bunch of other people have done it with success than I would say its not some snake potion trick. I'm not about tricks and gimmicks with cannabis growing. I don't know if shipping off a fox tail will do much, guess we will see. People have had definitely had good luck with this method, though. I've never had the need to backbuild my buds so I couldn't tell ya from personal experience.

 

[theboogyman]

If anything, the bottled nutrients you're using are the snake potion lol

i use roots organic soil and just the soil, and the guano tea recipe in the stickied thread in the organic soil forum made my plants explode in veg.. I'm still testing out the whole organic thing so i dunno in flower, my white widow and deep chunk x cheese are just now showing flower tops..

the recipe is just guano, molasses and kelp bubbled for 2 days in water
