Hey Sticky, thanks for the reply. I will lower my doses for sure. Even now I use 1/2 of all my nutes and additives. Better safe than sorry. I have a EC of about 2.0 and 2.4 in soil which i think is 1000-1200 ppm. I don't know if this is correct, but it's safe and it works. I used Bushmaster a little while ago on some plants and it didn't seem to stop my vertical growth but it did start flowering sooner and the plants I used it on look great. I used it at a low rate. I'm gonna start using purple maxx in a couple weeks and I think I'm gonna use 1/2 of rec. and still use 1/2 nutes and foilar feed instead of watering. It's all an experiement. I also have some gravity which I think I'll test out. but only on a couple plants. I've read a lot of forums on it and know all the info. (at least i think i do) about these products. I'm just wondering how you " DO have the ability to decrease my light intensity and heat in emergencies in case I screw things up". Well basically I wanted to say thanks for the reply and it's always great to hear from an expert.
