Gravity or no Gravity. That is the question.

[hbbusa28]

So I purchased a bottle of Humbolt County's Gravity a while back. I planned on using it on my last grow, but my plants ended up being male so I didn't get the chance. I'm coming up to my 6th week of flower. My buds are filling in nicely and I couldn't be happier.

The question is, do I add in the Gravity or not. I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews about this stuff. Some people say it burns the hell our of the plants, don't use it. Others state that it adds a lot of weight and density to their buds and will use it all the time.

Regardless, my understanding is that you need to take great caren when using this product. I plan on lowering my PPMs by 1/3 as the directions suggest. However, I'm running a 400w HPS light that cannot be raised any more. The bottle suggests raising HPS lights to a minium of 6 inches. My light at this point is about 3-4 inches away from my buds (I can't raise the light anymore).

Has anyone used this product that can share the importance of the light being rasied. Is it more about minimizing the nutes by 1/3 and less about the light?

Thanks for any advice

Gravity is super twitchy stuff.
If you use it in hot or super intense light conditions (=light closer than recommended), you can easily burn the bejeebus outta your plants. I've done it, lol.
If you use it, follow the directions to the LETTER. If you can't follow the directions for whatever reasons, I'd skip it until you have a better setup that allows for raising the light, and go with a gentler carb-supplement type bud mass enhancer.

I'm with Stinky.....I remember BlueBear saying the Humboldt products have both helped and hurt more crops than he could remember.

Thanks guys. I'm a bit bummed. I was really looking forward to seeing what it would do, but my girl got a bit out of control and I let her get too tall. Now I can't raise my light anymore. Bummed as I am, I also don't want to burn up a good thing. I've got some nice tops growing and I don't want to see them ruined.

What are examples of other "gentler" flower finishers I might look into? I'm running Sweet, Hygrozyme, Liqiud Karma and GH 3-part Nutes.
