i have a pretty strong stomach. i would like to keep it simple though. it is tempting to go buy every product out there and use them all but i dont think that is my style. but i have read a few times now that PPD is worth trying
Sure. I do a 3 part regiment. Ipm, feed, and Ca25
3 sprays, each 3-4 days apart(Ipm, feed, CA)
IPM
Rotation of Actinovate, serenade, spinosad, bt, maybe something else. So while they get a ipm spray each ten day cycle, they will, for example, only get serenade every 40 days or so.
Food boost
Per gallon
Epsom salts - 1/2 tbsp (dissolved)
Aloe juice- 1 tsp
EJ catalyst- per rec
EJ micro- per rec
Ppd- per rec
Pro tek- per rec
Liquid kelp- per rec
Yucca
Folic acid
CA
Calcium 25
With aact feed following day

If you want to try AEA without spending too much the nutra live mix is a great product,basically everything they offer blended into 2 bottles for $60. The smell rivals ppd but it does a great job, I use it as a base along with the individual bottles. They also have a transplant solution mix that is nifty.

Spot on Cannascholar- I have used the two part dummied down approach last year with great results. Don't think you lose much- as opposed to the full line complicated route, for which one needs a Phd in plant and soil biology. I exaggerate of course, but the full ae line is for those who want to be able to tweek the minutiae of their plant's experience. I don't think there is a better line, if that is your desired goal. But the nutria live is a good option for the less committed.

when are you poplin beans schrews? its almost that time of year again...
I want to germinate my seeds on the new moon in march, but if for some reason im not ready then i will aim for the full moon. Before popping seeds i need to have a lab-tested balanced starter soil, and put up a couple carport greenhouses .
Probably going to germinate about 200 seeds and keep the 24 best females, unless i decide to mult-plant some mounds
Hey Shcrews ! I always look forward to reading whats new here ! I'M getting ready here as well ,I may not get soil test this yr as i have gotten them many times & always come out pretty good ! I always amend soil though , This yr i did 10 yds quality compost, several yds (horse manure (no shavings)) 50 LBS bags oyster shell powder ,neem seed meal, humic acid powder,,& some 0-0-50, bone meal, blood meal, mycor ,molasses , ash's, kelp meal, & now winter rye, with neptunes fish, & WP mycor to build up mycor count ! , ready to Roll, ONe or Too !!
Shcrews! Can i ask you whats your top pics for strains this yr , Yes last yr my only Ao ,did come out the best overall , i'm Glad i made many seeds, , MY list will be AO & ((Sky lotus(have not grown this yet ), SSDD, & WIFI, & White master & maybe some of my crosses like AO X WIFI----&---AO x Snow wookie,, its kind of hard when you make 18 crosses & they all look good !!! QUESTION ? What are your top pics lets say top 7---10 pics ,,,,Appreciate It !! Thanks !!! I guess there a top pic of what you have grown before & what you would like to grow !!!

you talking multi plant mounds temporally and waiting to decide on the best female , giving them more of a grow before you choose? or leaving 3 in like last year full term ?
did 3 in a spot pay off last year for you ? i just find plants grown individually always seem to do better ? what do you think .
is it worth the risk with another inspection this year and the extra stress ? if those guys really investigated and found it was actually 3 plants last year , whats there course of action ? pull 2 or you lose the whole show ? just curious , cause if its the whole show thats one hell of a gamble .
i may have misunderstood what you meant ?

I would kill for that pack, I love GDP! I've seen people get good results doing a high N soil drench like guano at the onset of flower to promote stretching (this also prolongs it though) which helps make it less bushy. Monitor at the end of season for botrytis it will be dense.

Schrews, how did the sky lotus compare to the ancient og? When did it finish compared to your other strains?
I ordered 6 packs each of sky lotus, goji og, and mothers milk.... thinking i'll run them all but a little worried about finish time on them.

shcrews, About the starter mix ,my experience with foxfarm ocean forest, has been real good, the price is the most reasonable at 10$ a bag if you look around, But i usually amend it a bit, I like to put in small amount of plane clay dirt into mix ,as well as gypsum,bat guano,worm castings,mycorrhizae,epsom's salt, My plants could not have looked any heather !!!
