GREEN LIFE BIOTICS TEST/REVIEW

Mid-Flower
Seed Stockers, Rucu Cucu - Day 59
M3 super soil
I was seeing a bit of an early fade so I dialed back on the Brix to see how she responds. So far the fade looks to have slowed. I will ramp back up in a week or so.

Update- Day 55
Update on these girls. Super impressed with the amendments! They are visually excelling in their growth. Still on reg flower recipe with 3.5 gpg MC as y’all can see, the difference between treated and non treated is evident! These products Rock! The genetics play a part as well, thanks to @Seedstockers-Mark for the awesome genetics. I believe you have a life long user on your hands as they do exactly what you say they will! Temps at 70 deg F and humidity at 50-55 % all depending on outside conditions. Lights at 80-85% at top of tent. All I can say is WOW… again and again. I recommend these amendments to anyone of any skill level!

Many thanks to @GreenLifeBiotics for these amazing products!
 
Update- start of wk 4 amendments
Update day for the GLB/ non GLB Seedstockers autos. Changed over to week 4 amendments with 3.5 gpg MC. GLB Mack&Crack looks like a fade is happening but healthy otherwise. Both testers getting GLB are amazing and the non GLB are doing well also but are a little smaller in size. Aromas are sweet for both but M&C has a little limonene showing through.

forgot to mention they are at day 64!
 
Update- Day 70
Weekly update for the testers and the control plants. This line of amendments ROCK! I have never seen something that so obviously enhances the growth of a plant like this. As you can see from pic 1 the size difference. Only difference with feed is GLB! All plants are fed 3.5 gpg MC. I am on to week 4 flower amendments and upped it from starter dose to upper limit dose of 1 ml roots and 2 ml LOM. Every other day feed as that’s what they are asking for. Was slower in the beginning due to SIP naturally uptaking less until mid veg.

that’s all for now!
 
Defol and lst Day 72
Did a defol, cuz it was necessary… and spread them out a little more. Shoulda been on the cleaning out earlier but didn’t realize how dense the inside was. The Mack and crack following breeder time is 77 days and 84 days for Apollo black cherry. So next feed will be reduced ( not doing a full flush) and flush amendments will be introduced.

Update- Day 78 GLB/ non GLB side by side
Update day! Day 78 for the testers and control. Started flush amendments last week but M&C GLB tester will get the chop today as she is all cloudy with about 5%amber she looks wonderful and delicious! They all do… I’ll try to keep my shit together and post wet and dry weights of the plants as they come down and get dried.

Man she faded beautifully! And the trich density is awesome. Excited for these!

Buds
A total of 175g or 6.25 oz. of very potent smoke. All in all, an easy grow with great potential. In hind sight, I could have been a bit more aggressive with feeding. I didn't really use anything other than the GLB addatives, what ever is left over in the reused super soil and a couple of feedings of Maxigro here and there. I still have one more plant finishing up as part of this tester but I will definitly be looking to add GLB addatives to all my future grows.

As far as the other girl goes, I think I slowed the yellowing by upping the base nuitients to EC 2.0. She seams to be doing better. Still 2+ weeks to go although a quick look at the trichs says she's close.

M&C GLB harvest
Just got done with cursory wet trim, just remaining lg fans. Will do a dry trim when dry. Wet weight is 431g! Will update with dry weight next week. Left buds on stems for drying.

Buds are super dense and aroma is a creamy lemon zest with sweet& sour smells intermingled. No, not like Chinese chicken! Lol more like sour patch kids candy!
 
Final thoughts
While growing it was a pain in the knees adding the product to the autopot trays, I really didn't see any noticable difference between the GLB plants and my normal MC plants while growing..and now that I'm cleaning and getting ready for next round I can say there is a lot more residue in the trays and valves.....That being said, from the 3 Sour Stompers I got more than a pound and still not finished with trimming the 3 3BOGs....so best harvest ever so far as I normally have right at a pound for the whole tent....GLB or genetics or a combination, I don't know....I'd say it is a good product and recomend it for those that really like to micro manage their grows and do top feeds to get the most out of each plant but for laid back growers using autopots or similar, maybe not so much.
Thank you for letting me be in the trial...
 
Chop of non-test Mack & Crack
Chopped the non-tester M&C this am. Just a cursory wet trim, removal of lg fans. And they are hung. I’ll update with final dry weight with comparison. The only caveat is that the non tester went 1 week more than GLB M&C so don’t know how that’ll play out…
