Indoor New grow, Old + New Seeds, ft Optic Foliar

[bakEQuatorial]

How did you like the optic foliar? Notice any difference?

It's like you read my mind. I was telling myself I should do an update on Optic Foliar. Its about time too.

As I mentioned in earlier updates, I spray with Overgrow every Mon, Wed and Fri. It's extremely cool to see them absorbed so quickly without beads. I spray it only until flower. Have stopped since. Have not used Switch.

My personal observation is that it's a good tool to have when facing deficiency early. My issues whether deficiency or lockout always only happens in flower so not sure if it's appealing enough for me. I wish I could say I'm seeing a difference between plants given Optic Foliar and plants that don't. However, I'm not seeing any with my eyes. I wish to note that this may be due to my not so ideal growing climate. Other growers have observed significant difference though.

Between my homemade foliar and OF I can't say I saw a difference with anything besides Switch. I thought Switch was really the only product that was worth it but I've found THIS which is basically the same thing just mixing it with water at a 5.0ph or lower.

I didn't have the most ideal situation myself but I just don't know how I feel about the line overall to invest in it. Idk though, your plants turned out really well.

I forgot to mention that only a few plants of mine this round received OF. Some later than others. In terms of Foliar, I'd really like to get my hands on some Rotblock or DrZymes type of product. Could be a life saver for me.

VERY nice run!!!!

Sticky Fingers chopped at Day 83. The plant looks terrible as I neglected her and the last remaining girls. These remaining ones do not like the heat one bit. Actually, this plant is one of the better looking ones lol. She had a deficiency and then serious nute burn from over topdressing. Heat stress played a part too as she grew rather tall.

Heavy top colas. Again, could not get her to stand straight after removing from tent. So it's hanging pics again. I also did not remove a lot of the dead leaves and it shows in the pics. Very mold resistant. Not a single bit of rot despite being so chunky.

Sticky Fingers 1 chopped at Day 86.

A big plant. Tried to take a pic of her upright before removing from tent and this is what I got.

Gotta hang her up to take pics again.

Like Sticky Fingers 2, I'm not very happy with this harvest. Nute burned and Heat stressed her bad. You can see the scars on her. However, smell and frost seems good so can't complain much considering.

Trich shots continued on next page due to pics limit…

I actually thought this plant would die. Once again the superior genetics of Seedstockers shines through. She was in a corner that I could barely reach to water. So she received pretty much no care from me. In fact, she was covered in dead leaves on every Bud site. I wished I took a picture. I couldn't even remove dead leaves on her till they all dried up and covered the buds. I actually thought she died. Bud when I looked under, I saw some nice looking buds with good frost. Cleaned her up and she looks like the below. This is 95% of her as I took some flopping tops.

Hung her up

This run is a mixed of good and bad. The earlier harvested plants I was satisfied with. The last few plants were terrible. Gonna hash them all.

I had a last Cosmic Bomb still standing but I messed her up with overwatering. Wanted to let her finish cos she's almost done but I had an impulse to try making FFJ (Fermented Fruit Juice) with her. There are conflicting opinions on cannabis FFJ or FPJ (Fermented Plant Juice) online. Some say it's great while some say it's a waste of time as it extracts badly. I added more sugar than usual to see if it helps?

I used all Buds with leaves untrimmed. These are decent buds but not very frosty. Won't be a good smoke anyways, not due to Genetics but Grower error. So lets hope I get to extract some goodies from her to feed the soil/plant.

Thanks for following and I'll try to do better next time!
