Nice color, no sign of deficiency I can see. What do you use for fert?
Very Bushy LST- week into flower, advise on trimming/pruning undergrowth
Hey thanks man!
They used to have a few probs early on while I was balancing things out lol, when they were vegging I ran with low doses of FF Grow big, Sea Weed Extract, and occasional Epsom salt sea weed foliar spray, and low dose FF Tiger transitioning into flower, Now that they are 2 weeks into flowering, (i'd gotten ahold of some extra nutes from a friend a little late into this grow lol) I've been gradually low dosing with some koolbloom, tiger bloom, and sea weed on the feed days.
I did get ahold of some Great White Mycorrhizae late in the game, and added their solution to a watering, and have followed up with some Rasta Bob's Blackstrap Molasses on the next water (2 days ago) I've definetly seen a little pep in their fruiting step, but I've read too that since I've some chem ferts that i'm cross canceling the benefits of the microbs, hopefully since im lower dosing the ferts and have been focusing on the soil that they've gotten a bit of beneficial-ness lol. Have you used the molasses at all? i'm under the impression that its just to feed the soil- so organics only. using ffof soil so I know its kind of alive so to speak lol.

People have talked on web forums for years about how they used molasses. What they never discussed was why the did it. Apparently there is an idea that plants take up sugar, hence the use of molasses. I remember from early biology that plants make sugar from soil nutes along with sunshine. So it was confusing. Why would a plant take up sugar if they can make there own? I'm guessing that they don't take up sugar. Thus, the use for molasses is to feed the bacteria in soil. The point to using chem ferts is rapid uptake without waiting for bacteria to break the stuff down. Not sure if going with chem is a problem later on or not. Probably not, but only a chemist knows for sure.

molasses is indeed for feeding the soil microbes and not the plant. Using salt based fertilizers is not very good for the microbes and you can't reuse the soil as an organic grow medium. Well you can, but not the best results that way.
