For 8 week girls (my F.I. indica hybrid) I used 20-30 ml of Bushmaster the week before flush (8-10 day flush) for only 24 hrs then change res back to normal bloom mix. The day before flush starts I use approx 20-30 ml of Gravity for 24 hrs then flush of course. I keep a constant ppm and ph while the res is chk'd twice a day everyday, very time consuming considering I dont have a controlled doser. For earlier finishers, leggier indica like ak48 or a sativa the bushmaster would be used earlier however from what ive learned the gravity should only be used the day before flush for a very limited time. There is the obvious concern over burning your plants however I have heard from several people in the Denver grow community that Gravity has been deemed the cause of "headaches" to people who consume, even in the cases where minimum amounts were used, like my methods.
Apparently it has been discontinued from manufacture however several stores still have stock in the area and I used it and loved it, I never had headaches from it. I will probably discontinue the use of the product when I find a suitable substitute. Anybody know of any suitable alternatives??? It can cause mold in the interior of your flowers if you arent on top of your environment or you let the plant finish longer than the strain calls for. Gravity does help to increase resin production along with wieght and density when used in conjunction with Bushmaster (I havent used Purple Maxx yet but I know its been replaced by Snowstorm and will probably give it a try).
