Comes a Time, First Grow, Please Step Inside -- 2000 watt Sour Diesel

hi all i just wanted to stop and say hey:) great grow razza congrats. the time is coming... =P i wanted to ask about guano. did you ever use? is it good you guys think? if so how should it be administered. thanks take care all!

No experience with guano, sorry buddy! Maybe post it in the Basic Growing Forum...I'm sure someone around here uses it...

I just use my blooming nutes, with Hygrozeim which helps makes the blooming nutes more avail for uptake. Will also use MOAB the last few weeks of flowering.

Have started to take a bunch off because of exactly what you are saying. I have been told by the person I got the clones from that 9.5 weeks and they should be done. I plan to use MOAB during the last two weeks of flower, so I'm guessing I should now take my regular blooming nutes down by about 25%-50% when doing so? MOAB says should be decreased by as much as 50% at times... I was at 1050 PPM, should I start weening them off now and apply the MOAB in a week or so?

My advice is don't decrease your nute level till your 7.5 weeks.. you could loose some heavy weight in buds if you do that too early... if it was me i'd go full nutes till 7.5 weeks and then stop feeding them and use MOAB for the 2 weeks left.. thats it :)

Show us the huge nugs when its dried and cured! ;)

Have a good smoke pal! :S5:

Are you saying give them full blooming nutes and then use the MOAB alone for a few weeks? I thought it was supposed to be used in combination with the blooming nutes during the first two weeks of flowering, and the last two weeks of flowering.

Hey partner, I have been out of the loop for a minute, but am slowly getting back into the office to check everything out. With the bloom, I would just wait until the last few or couple weeks and then drop your normal PPM in half and use the bloom nute and if there is no sign of burn you may bump the normal nutes back up a little. I wouldn't wean them down because when you hit them with the bloom nute I think that it will be kind of a shock for them to have been weaned off of a high dose for a week or so and then jump back up so quick.
Glad that the PVC piping worked out. I have about 9 different strains going right now and they are mostly local and have different growth patterns so I will probably have to pull out every trick in the book to maintain them the way I want, nice and big.
Well, keep up the good work.

I was thinking I'm going to cut the Super Natural regular bloom nutes in half next time I fill the resi, and then put the reccomended dose of MOAB in there. Your post is a little confusing, is this what you mean? Maybe I am just really stoned? LOL. I will post the numbers of my Super Natural a bit later, and then the numbers of the MOAB as well, so I could get the advice of a few of you lovely folks as to how quickly to cut back on the Super Natural when using the MOAB. MOAB bottle says to cut back by as much as 50% with regular blooming nutes.

Using Super Natrual blooming nutes. Been using half reverse osmosis water, half tap water which results in a PPM of 250. I have gotten my babies up to 1050 PPM (just now seven weeks into 12.12) I am using MOAB at the end of the cycle, you use it for the last two weeks of flowering and you cut down on regular blooming nutes. I was under the impression that the MOAB would not show up on a PPM meter, and the instructions say to cut down by as much as 50% on the regular blooming nutes when adding the full reccomended dose of MOAB. I added 75% of the reccomended dose of MOAB, and then measured the PPM, and it had increased 160PPM - I thought it wouldn't show up? My plan was to give the plants 75% of the reccomended MOAB dose, and then give them 75% of what I usually gave them for blooming. However, I only brought my PPM up to 850 after blooming nutes were added, so I gave them 400PPM of the bloom which is half of what I generally give them. Why did the MOAB show up, and next time I fill my resi should I just bring the water to 1050PPM as that's what they are used to? I didn't want to cut their blooming nutes down by 50%. Any experiences are appreciated, I kind of feel like I am short changing my plants cutting down 50% on bloom especially when I didn't even use the full dose of MOAB.

Your getting it right. Cut things down to when you add the bloom nute it brings the PPM back up to 1050 and just keep an I on them. Some nutes are hotter than others and if you get a little burnning don't worry too much. Your flowering buds will handle nutes even when your leafs can't, and show a little burn.
