wow, opportunity to help u instead???
hell MUSTA froze over,LOL!
well, 1st this is a foliar spray, so can b used hydro, or not.
2nd, hydro-store guy, where i got it said "there are similar products out there, but THIS is the BEST"
and well, just like the lil disclaimer says: Dutch Master's Max-FX Grow and Flower foliar feeds were designed to feed your leaves complex carbohydrates and amino acids that cannot make it through the root zone.
Max-FX increases fruit size by up to 30% and produces a tastier more aromatic yield with much higher sugar content on the Brix Scale. The result is larger sweeter tasting plants!
it was also noted in the product brochure that it increases flower size up to 30% as well.
these are good enuf reasons for me to give it a try.
it was only 30 clams for the pint, and use is 4 tablespoons per quart of spray solution(water), twice a week till runoff of leaves.
he also suggested I use a lil less than directions.
i use 10 oz. water, with 1 tablespoon MAX and 1 tablespoon Penetrator, and i dump about 2 oz. down the drain when done.
i will say this, the flowers are bigger EVERY DAY.
could b the HPS.:wtf:
could b the MAX.:wtf::wtf:
could b BOTH.:wtf::wtf::wtf:
Hopefully it is both!:thumbsup: I Might Meander down the the hydro shop, this evening and see what they have for foliar feeds. I also like how it states 30% bigger flowers! YAY!! lol
Like they say "Big Flower's....Big.......Pot..." hahaha
Does it say how long you are supposed to use it during flower? I'm REALLY paranoid of mold and fungus since my WR's came up with some.....I've always heard it's bad voodoo to spray stuff on buds unless absolutely necessary.
I just took another look at that nice light of yours. Very nice....and it's about time you got on the ball. :D
well, as far as "when" or "how often"?
the only thing it says is twice a week.
I will say this. This morning, I went thru my lil foliar shenanigans and the leaves were completely dry in the 10 minutes it took me to make a cup of coffee!
now, i dont know if, they were thirsty(possible as i am letting the soil really dry out a couple days before next watering), or if this 'wetting agent' makes it absorb faster, or the heat from the HPS(doubt that, i did the hand test when i set it up) but the fact is I was shocked by how fast it completely dried up.
I am definately with u on the mold concerns, but, its early in the girls cycle, so, i figure i'm cool. Plus, like I said, I have noticed growth every morning. I will likely not use for the duration of this stage, but, will for a coupla weeks at least for sure:D
if any GrowHeads can offer insight on when i should STOP spraying, please do post up, and Thanks!:thumbsup:
and remember, this is a Thai and we have 2 months to go yet.
Jesus, 2 months! what the hell was i thinkin clonin Thai:wtf:
The penetrator does make things absorb faster imo. I use something called VHO by Advaned nutrients that is used in the veg stage as opposed to flower.....daily until two weeks after you turn them.
Make sure you are raising your light WAY high to let those things dry out....they'll burn easier under hps than the cfls. ;)
prolly a good foot n half to the light.
like i said, i did the 'hand' test, made sure it wasnt too hot.
hey, temps been dippin to about 60 in the room at night (dont ask, attic vents, old house, no insulation) you think that will be a problem?
i know they dont like extreme changes in day/nite temps.
whats too extreme?:wtf:
It's the HPS.Quote:
