yo rusty, what soil do u use? And since i havent been feeding much, how do u recommend i go about starting my feeding schedule for flowering?

[Rusty Trichome]

I use Filthy Rich, by Dr. Q. (Star Nurseries)

I'd start 'em at half dose, and watch their reaction. Like I said, I give 'em half dose, twice a week. Less of a shock versus a full dose, once per week. Some folks fert full-dose, once a week and get good results. Boils down to fine-tuning the schedules and quantities, either way. :thumbsup:

Hey man i do thank you and ill let u guys know how they are coming along. Ill post more pics in a few days

[Rusty Trichome]

Looking forward to the updates. :thumbsup:

[HighonaMountain]

just wanted to let u guys know, i also moved that 400w hps from where it was at about 7 inches to about 12. i noticed a little brown spot on the top leaf of the pure gold.

[HighonaMountain]

the first is the pure power, second, pure gold and the third is the top leaf on the gold. Im pretty sure its a light burn cause the rest of the plant looks great.

Best advice I can give you is to listen to what Rusty is saying. He's been a presence on these boards for a while and has a proven method that works. I use the same line of FF products and get outstanding results. I have also found that their feeding schedule is a little on the heavy side so adjust according to what your plants tell you.

I have also tried to be el'cheapo and get just grow big and tiger bloom figuring that they would work. And they did.....kinda. Disappointed is a PC way of describing how I felt. Didn't even figure the product with the lowest numbers would be the most important. One more lesson learned. The only really optional FF products are the additives, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and ChaChing. I think they are a little on the synthetic side for me, but I'm in the middle of my first Beastie Bloomz experiment. I'll try to post a thread illustrating the difference in yield if there is one.

Keep Rusty and all the other vets in your good graces and you'll be amazed how quickly your comprehension of this process expands. I'm stoned and rambling. Take care all and keep it green.

Power still looks kinda shitty...hopefully it will start lookin better after it's had some food.

Thanks for the post Iry, advice well taken. Yea my next grow ill get the big bloom too. U guys have all been so helpful, Rusty, my boy Dive. Thanks for all the advice guys. Also the pure gold(healthier) has already shot out pistils all over the plant and the pure power has shown no signs of sex yet. they were femenized seeds but i have read that does not garentee female. What do u guys think, maybe the power just takes longer to show?

Also, Hey rusty do u presoak with the big bloom like the feeding schedule says to and do u feed with every other watering or what? I want to do everything right for my next grow.
