New Grower short autos; they never stretch!

It's quite possible you stunted them with your "all over the board" additives. Early on there really are few if any additives needed. Also are you checking the ph of your feed? I see ppm which is nice but in coco ph is necessary! Is this quality coco? Or cheap bricks? Did you rinse it? Buffer it? Watering Coco every 2-3 day in 30% humidity would normally be under watering as it dries out so quick.
The pictures are small but they look a little splotchy are you adding cal/mag? coco usually needs that. Get your light higher let them reach for it. Can you see any roots out the bottom of your pots? How healthy do they look? At this point stick with basic a&B feed, and maybe some seaweed to help the roots and relive stress and cal/mag if you are not using coco specific nutes.

All these questions might be answered elsewhere but I don't understand the whole journal thing...hits from a bong...i love Cypress Hill...spun out hippies trying to steal my crystals...sheriff no where to be found...surprises abound.

botanicare coco pre rinses but i did flush anyways incase of salt, i do have botanicare calmag i sometimes add, ive slowed down on additives no more liquid karma and ive held off on the bloom boosters for a bit! no signs of roots out of the bottom but its a pretty big ass pot

Bloom boosters are too strong for stressed plants...they look to be in veg any ways. Try figuring out your soil ph. Good luck!

Bud enhancers and bloom boosters are like fishing lures. You know about fishing lures right? They're designed to catch fishermen......Do some serious research, all that stuff is bunk! Save your money! And for those that don't agree, SHOW me, side by side clones and control plants. Without science to backup claims, anecdotes are not going to prove anything. You don't see organic grows trying to overload the plants with nutes they can't process!

From Garden Myths:
[h=2]Bloom Boosters[/h] For many people growing plants in pots is all about getting flowers–lots of them. If your goal is to produce as many flowers as you can, should you be using a bloom booster?
A bloom booster is a fertilizer with a high middle number–it has a lot of phosphorus compared to nitrogen.
The answer is NO. The idea that plants need a huge injection of phosphorus in order to bloom is an old myth that just won’t die. Plants need a good balanced diet, just like you and me.

No double blind results to prove anything but bloom boosters do have their place and they do result in greater yield.

What the Myth site says about not needed to bloom is accurate, a plant will switch to bloom based on the lighting. A PK booster will give you denser flowers if used correctly later in flower.

I am an organic grower, totally organic as in I make my own soil and use absolutely zero bottled or powdered fertilizers. That being said, I load my plants with so much phosphorous and potassium even the people that test my soil remarked that it is off the charts to the point they can't measure it. It makes all the difference in the world.

I don't even grow synthetic any longer and do my best to persuade people to grow organic but I know one thing for sure. Bloom Boosters work. Anyone that don't believe that hasn't grown many plants.

I will be happy to do a side by side clone grow. I have two that are going to be put into flower this upcoming week. I will run both synthetic, one with my standard feed schedule and one with my standard feed schedule and a bloom booster. Both in promix so the only difference will be the bloom booster. The difference will be night and day not only in size and density of flowers but in trichome production as well.

so would you say additives are to attract the grower not the plant?

don't want to hijack this thread any further so I'll continue the post in my garden myths thread. post were I will rebut these claims with information based on science.

Guess i'm changing my ways thanks for saving me money, i'm sure, ill check out your grow and see what nutes you run

i'm always interested in learning, don't feel like you have to leave, wanna link me your thread tho?!
