are my plants shocked/big bud thread MERGED

[hippygirl420]

big bud,add at beginnning or in middle of flowering ? i put it in when i moved them over from veg to flow.Im just not sure if that was right.I also used hum.county bushmaster in the resevoir.I looked at them today and now there totally wilted and a little burn and curl at the end.I know the retailer said that the plants will stress when you add it in,but im not sure if its the big bud or the b.m.,it says to add 6 oz of big bud to my 10 gallon res. that seems to be a lot,should i stick with that or should i cut that completley in half.Thanks again for answering my question,you guys are the best.

if you're asking about Fox Farm's 'Big Bloom', you can use it throughout the plant's life, it is a live micro-organism supplement ... I use it, good stuff, evidently ... since it is alive, adding hydrogen peroxide, or using chlorinated tapwater, etc., will kill the beneficial bacteria, and render it useless ... :jointsmile:

OP is talking about Advanced's Big Bud product- but has the ratio wrong.1/4 gram per quart @ 2 gram per teaspoon- so a 10g res gets 5 tsp.

Good stuff, but watch out for the fry factor- I'd go maybe 4 tsp in 10g.

Unless you're using the liquid Big Bud, also by Advanced- I don't have a bottle handy, so I can't check the ratio on that.

OP's dose seems high, though- specially in conjunction w/ bushmaster.

You know that you use the bushmaster once, and then change the res 72 hours later, right? Don't keep adding that stuff- improperly used, it'll kill stuff.

Do check your math- your doses seem high.

thanks, rhyzome, for clearing me up, I wasn't sure which product she was asking about ... :thumbsup:

[hippygirl420]

yes sorry about that its liquid dr.hornby big bud 0-1-4.so if im reading that wrong i wonder what else im over adding,i just have what it says on the back to go by,and the retailer told me to use less than what is called for so thats what im doing.It says to use 5ml per liter(1tsp per quart)4 quarts in a gallon so thats 40 tsp per 10 gallons which makes that 200 ml wich equals out to be 6 1/2 oz. so thats the way i do it if anybody could please help me out and say if im wrong or right please

[hippygirl420]

i have aquestion for you ,you said that the bushmasters left in there longer than 72 hours will kill it right.Would that explain my huge droopage issue its coming on the 72 hour mark.but when you use b.m. in the resevoir has your plants drooped because of it.Im getting scared the roots where bright white when i moved them over and now there brown and almost slimy and thats when they started to droop when i moved them over and added the b.m and b.b. so im just going to flush it out and use little nuts keeps my ppm down 1000or under because im having to many droop issuses and root issuses.I use hydrozyme and pot o gold for the roots but who know if im even using the right amountand im using botanicare pure blend grow for veg and pro bloom for the flower im using in my 10 gallon about 3 oz is that right? thats less than what the back says

okay heres what i did.I had two plants veging in my hydro resevoir.The roots got so massive that they started mingiling with each other.When i got ready to move the two plants to flowering i had gently move the roots back and forth under the water to unlock them,now i got the majority but there was a clump that i could'nt get out and i had to cut the conjoined roots down the middle (maybe a 1/2 inch diameter) with a pair of sterile siccors,when i put them over to my flowering side i added my dr.hornsby big bud and my bushmasters.The day after next my plants started to droop,pretty bad,so i waited a day and they only got worse,Then i started thinking that maybe i had put to much big bud,and that the bushmasters was making it wilt(thats what the manufacture said it might do,but i got scared because i didnt think that it should wilt that bad.So i flushed my res. with r2o and i added grotek flush just in case of over feeding, its been two days flushing and even worse.The stems are fine its just the leaf,no burn a lot of wilting,but no yellow or spot.So if it is shock from thr roots should i put nuts in it at a very little regiment,what is the best thing to do?

I have cut roots pretty significantly, with no resulting plant damage ... I would suspect it 'may' be the fertilizing that did the shock ... in soil, it's not a good idea to fertilize near transplanting time ... maybe, that's true with hydro, too ... I suggest you try to find a good growers' guide, and do some more reading, you seem to have a lot of questions ... good luck with your garden :thumbsup:

Wait.....you mixed bushmaster and Big Bud? Could you say again what you added, how much you added, and when you added them?

Also, your total ppms.........or as MANY specs as you can give........ph etc.....

Got a photo?

Since this is already being troubleshooted [troubleshot?] on another thread, I'm merging.
And please for the love of Pete can we get some clearer phrasing? I don't know about the rest of the interpreters here, but I can't troubleshoot what I can't understand...
