I have been doing a lot of reading I was going to order recharge today it has almost same thing the nitrozyme so does liquid karma then they all have some of the ingredients of Ful Power I'm going completely organic I'm working on compost and things time can only give over next 6 months. I was laying here thinking what made me decide to go organic with all the wonderful synthetic nutes out there I did my first grow on fox farm trio it's sitting here I love the big bloom as soon as I started feeding the other is when I started showing defiencies right off I lived on a farm in the summers as a child from my my mom's second marriage we worked the gardens all summer hundreds of acres my mama married a horse man it was wonderful growing up there in the 70s along with all the work we hauled tons of horse and cow manure we dumped it into the land we turned it we grew everything my mother has lived off everything from their farm it's a great way to live we were raised to stock and store for a hard time my mother has herself self sastained for years from her I do this also I can't get way from my thought s of all the food we have consumed from manure so my mind goes it should not take multiple bottles to grow So I decided to stick with the nitrozyme till I use it all.Im looking for a cheaper alternative to this it cost 200.00 a gallon.I did not buy 200.00 worth my mate got me a 30.00 bottle this stuff is potent 1 ml in a gallon gives you a ppm of 400 this is going to go along ways if it turns out being my magic nute I will keep it because it goes so far I'd prefer a more reasonable price.
I noticed that to were all new to growing gathering in here we won't be the new guys soon but it's great to start off with so many starting were I am put all are heads together and the help from here how can we fail
honestly I learned most off the new folks journals how not to make newbie mistakes some are still made but lord had I not read all the new growers journals I would have made ALL the mistakes lol glad your here the support from you all is wonderful together we learn and achieve. I have enough of my mother's soil for one more grow she brings me a couple hundred pounds each time she comes for my tomatoes I had ordered a bag of fox farm soil it was full of gnats when I'm done using this soil I'm going with pro mix I amend with dolomite lime a table spoon to a gallon and 1 cup of ewc per gallon with 25% perlite works for my seedlings and plants. I'm noticing the Mephisto strains are a little floppy for me all mine are top heavy from reading journals I seen I needed to let these guys stretch some or first set of leaves was going to lay on dirt I did better on some then others I have very light soil to start with then added perlite I'm noticing these are not as solid rooted as my first run I'm not using silica this time I'm going to start foliar feeding a little sillica see if I can thicken them up my first run girls had unbelievable knuckles on her the stalks and stems were solid.W hen I started this I planned on nothing more then 300.00 after a week of talking with my mate we decided to save and spend on my research of what we need to produce quality bud I suffer from severe ocd my kids call me MONK
so I could not under go trying this without everything I thought I'd need you don't need everything I got bit it helps I did not spend a lot on nutes you can get the fox farm trio jet .com for 25.00 very reasonable I was not happy with the effects on my plants it gave me smoke but was hard on plants I think fox farm is one of best products out there for growing I just don't want to put the time into it to learn it Id rather go the way I'm going.
It's kicking ass I had it on my first grow did not know much about it so I did not use I've got liquid karma coming I think nitrozyme for the foliar feeds I don't think it does as good in soil feed as the liquid karma when these girls are 30 days I'm going to let up on the foliar and go to liquid karma for soil feed. I'm seeing a big difference in the growth from not using it if I would have liquid karma from the start I would have used it same way foliar then soil feed after 30 days everything I read seems to poi t to nitrozyme being best for foliar.S o I'm going to try liquid karma on feed days and foliar feed with nitrozyme on water days.
3 days ago I made a mistake and mixed up the remains fox farm soil I had I detected no gnats in mixing I flushed the pots like always I let them with a day then sat them in my tent well I going flying gnats now and they are coming from those 2 pots I dropped seeds in them yesterday before I seen the gnats in my tent I do flush this soil with water that had a mosquito dunk in it I'm hoping that gets them fast I grabbed some of my mates glue boards and threw them in there they work great and the are white not yellow but work I don't see anymore flying around hope I've nipped it in the bud. Here's everyone this morning I will do a update on all Thursday.
Hey @MissUniverse remember me sweating not having a camera a couple weeks ago I still have not got one I was sitting here with a new tablet my mate got me they were tired of my face buried in my phone lol I did not think the camera would be any good I'm a retired pro photographer well I was wrong it will do fine for this I'm amazed at the quality of things today these things do multiple things but do a good job this thing even has HD Video recorder and it is not a expensive one is why I'm shocked at the quality.
I think it's pretty neat that we're all learning what we can from each other. I was a bit boneheaded and ordered nutrients i just don't need, I still have yet to use any of theI noticed that to were all new to growing gathering in here we won't be the new guys soon but it's great to start off with so many starting were I am put all are heads together and the help from here how can we fail
nutrients, both the liquid and the free flow granules. I too just don't wanna spend the time learning how to use them right now, in the future i will, but the idea of flushing is a big argument as to if it is needed or not, and i don't wanna worry about that at this time.I'll have to check for gnats in the
OF I have to see how that is, i've heard some stories of that, but im hoping that my storage location helps to kill them out and what not. Mine definitely get better and stronger when there's a fan blowing directly on them and moving them around pretty fast. They tend to be a bit floppy for a week then they get nice and strong from the airflow.looking good so far! keep up the good work on those plants, sorry to hear about the gnats, i have faith you'll get them, if not try finding something like lady bugs to feed on them.
There's some great cameras on very cheap devices, cameras and what not make up their poor optics with high resolutions and they do a good job to say the least. A little $50 tablet or a $100 phone can do as much or more than some professional cameras could do 5-10 years ago. its just amazing.
I just got my pipe cleaners so I tied three girls up two have open structure the other not big enough yet I had started Lst on black mamba and would have the test if pipe cleaners had not come one thing I noticed most of the plants grown in the GBD soil are small and limited side branching it might be strain related I don't know my goal is to promote as much side branching as possible I've not did pony tailing before I know lst increase your yield greatly that's a fact I'm looking to do the same but don't want the plants as wide since I'm running a total of 7 aim going to pony tail 3 hours on 3 off when lights on here they are all that large side branching on Black Mamba is from lst
Did 3 hours of pony tailing not doing again they did not like it 20 minutes after removing they let me know theres no missing this they are fine now what ever time it took to recoup was time lost for growing.
