Thanks fellas. Ya the plants smell amazing. They started packing on trichomes starting around flower day 25. I absolutely love Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom for soil. The Bub x HB got all the good Bub genes and does in fact smell like very sweet chewing gum.
Just got some mandala beans and I'm tempted to pop em today, but I'm headed out on Spring Break in a day or two. I'm in the market for some new nutes and debating sticking with Head's formula and using GH or going Botanicare pure blend pro. Where do you buy your nutes? What prices are you getting. Do you use a resevoir? Do you use hygrozyme?
I'd check out PBP before I'd go through the trouble of messing with a three part formula. I'm currently using GH's FloraNova and while it's okay, I've definitely been eyeing the Botanicare nutes. I've heard good things about Hydroplex as well...
I've had great luck using Cal-Mag and Liquid Karma, which are Botanicare products. If I remember correctly, Funk uses both of those plus Sweet, in addition to PBP, so he'll likely have a more informed opinion.
You can buy your nutes online at spots like: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/plant-nutrients-c-81.html
Or hit up your local hydro store, skip the wait, and pay a few extra dollars. While shopping online will save you a few bucks, you'll have to contend with the shipping costs. So it's one of those six one way, half-dozen the other type of deals...
Oh, and wait till you get back from your vacation to pop your seeds. Once those taproots appear, it's game on with little time to spare. And I'd hate for you to be in Cancun, Florida, or wherever when it's time to drop 'em in the soil. Let face it, seeds aren't cheap...
Paranoid - I get my goods from plantlightinghydroponics.com. I have nothing but good experiences with them. The entire Botanicare line of nutrients and supplements kick major ass. They aren't super powerful, and the directions are simple. I use the following products:
PBP Grow and Bloom (soil version)
Liquid Karma
Blast Off
Sweet
Cal-Mag
Plants are doing well. The fattening has kicked up a notch as well as overall trichome production. The clones are about to finish stretching so they will be fun to see flower out.
Flower day 44
Clones....starting to slow down and start bud development
Update time. Flushing has begun on the two larger plants. Clones are getting the usual flowering fertilizers and like it quite a bit. Here are some pics
Ah yes, the flushing home stretch. And they look perfectly happy. That is a monster cola indeed, congrats. I hope one day to lose track of when I'm putting clones into flower, sounds like an adventure. The clones look like they are about to catch up in a hurry too, nice work.
Here we are at flower day 57 for the larger plants. The Bub x HB is showing 50/50 clear and cloudy trichomes. In a few more days they should all be cloudy or somewhat amber. That is when I will harvest. The HB F2 is showing mostly clear trichomes, so I think it has maybe a week or so more left to go. Here are some pics:
