your plant should be building roots during vegetation, not during flowering, when the plant is devoting all its energy into flowering and propagation ... I'd also like to warn you about excessive experimentation ... I have a couple friends, that are always ruining their plants, because they can't stop 'playing scientist' :weedpoke: ... not to suggest you shouldn't try new things, but be careful your plants don't suffer from your curiosity ... imitate Mother Nature, she knows more than we do ... happy gardening :thumbsup:
