Foliar Feeding & Liquid Light, Miracle Food or Hoax?

[Rock.Steady]

CRAP!, i just realized Galina is turned to a different position in before and after shots.
i thought i had it right, guess not.

for perspective, keep in mind there are flowers on 3 corners, but NOT on the 4th.
ill have to snap another tomorow, its already bedtime for her

if you look at Pic 1 (after) in your mind, u need to turn her cage clockwise 90 degrees

And holy cow. I looked at that picture, and your's sure stood up more than mine. I wonder why. Your fan leaves are bigger, could that have something to do with it? Probably not I guess.

my guess is the fact that i lowewred the lights same day.
and like a dope, i lowered them below the 15 inch minimum as stated by DM.

Galina recovered as you can see, and they did poke up today after application #2, but not nearly as severe.

carry on

Wow, thanks for all that info and for going into more detail.

I just put it out there for alls yous to look at. I assume people will use common sense, read directions, and start low and slow, that is the temp oh.

holy f'n crap, i was re-reading this for the 3rd time, and the tempo just hit me. I actually needed to read it 3 times, before i "got it":wtf:

you're whacked man, Nice! :S2:

hey Opie, is this gonna become the goto thread for LL?

[Opie Yutts]

I wasn't sure how many people would get that. Congratulations on being one of them.

And I hope this is the go to thread for Liquid Light. If not there needs to be one somewhere. The problem is if people are searching titles only, this thread doesn't have a good title for finding it. Maybe a mod could change the thread to something more informative like "Foliar Feeding & Liquid Light, Miracle Food or Hoax?"

[Opie Yutts]

Are there any mods in the cultivation section anymore? Or is it a free for all now?

[Rock.Steady]

Opie,
i would reach out for Stinkyattic, she has addy in her signature.:thumbsup:

[Rock.Steady]

ok, here's 2 shots with proper orientation for a proper visual comparison.
i still think the veggers react more substantially tho.

these pix r approx 60 hrs after 1st application, 24 hrs from 2nd.

[Rock.Steady]

ok, more input.

been spraying LL every other day for last week.
yesterday as a experiment, i lowered the HPS back to the level it was at when i freaked out.

sprayed LL again with the HPS slung low.

so far, very lil physical effects.

hypothesis-
i believe the initial 'shock' of using a hi-octane product like LL was more of a factor than my HPS height distance.

kinda like the difference from the 1st time u tried a 'shot' of whiskey. but a year later u can do 6 in a night

more to come:thumbsup:

LL update w/ pix

ok, so, been using LL for past 7 days = 4 applications, including 6 hrs ago.

i do believe we have positive effects.
u tell me???

1st pic, Galina
2nd pic, 1 Galina flwr closeup
3rd pic, P-Scrog Mystery Red (topped once)
4th pic, Mystery Red #2 la naturale (topped once)

and the light is still at the lower height of 13-14 inches off Galina, couple more inches for the Reds,,,which are shorter of course.

They're looking good to me. I'd say LL = :thumbsup:. And I agree that it wasn't your light causing any problems. I don't think there were any problems. I think you just had never seen anything like it before and freaked out. I probably would have freaked too if the hydro guy had not told me before hand what happens. (Even though I didn't quite believe him, sorry for doubting you hydro guy.)

Be sure to exercise caution when foliar feeding during flowering, especially in high humidity. If a bud grows around some moisture, boom, you've got bud rot. A different hydro guy told me to only foliar feed during the first week of flowering, or until some flowers start to show up. The directions say it's OK through the 4th week of flowering. I think under conditions of low humidity you could maybe even do it in weeks 5 or 6. Heck, it rains on outdoor buds and they do OK, usually.
