where do you get all your nutrients from

Mexican bat guano from eBay; SuperThrive and Schultz Cactus Juice from a local garden center.

hey why do you wrap everything in aluminum, to reflect?

[9ski9]

Yep. Thick mylar on the floor, while the pots are foil wrapped. I also wrap brown CFL cords in foil during veg. Foil will wrap and hold; mylar doesn't.

9ski9...

You are doing very very well. I am so pleased to see you doing so well.

You make me proud!:thumbsup:

A couple of things...

I would lay off the superthrive from here out. In the flowering stage it can tend to make the bud tops keep growing too much and thin the caps of the buds themselves. Let them fatten out a bit.

Also, I would definatley add some of that stinking fish emulsion Home Depot sells...5-1-1 ......1 capful of fish emulsion per 2.5 gallons.

This will help stop the rapid defoilage of some undergrowth.

During flower I add it about every 7 days....just enuff to keep it green.

Also, crank up the flower period to 14 hours of light per day for increased THC content. IT WORKS!

Next feeding mix this...this will NOT hurt your plants and will please the discerning smoker...

mix the following in 2 gallons of warm water:

1 tbspn...lipton iced tea dry granules
1 tbspn...jack daniels whiskey
1 tbspn...clear corn syrup
1 tbspn...dry plain gelatin powder
1 tbspn...plain non scented ammonia

stir the shit outta it. the gelatin tends to settle at bottom so keep stirring between plant waterings.

Feed them this in lieu of the normal schedule. Feed them this 3 times in a row, with each watering. Make a fresh batch each time.

Skip the cactus juice when using this feed formula.

Dont worry either about water pH when on this feed cycle.

I also add some white eggs shells I powder up in a grinder. Great calcium additive.

Feed them this mixture each watering for the next 3 straight feedings.

I dont know why or how...yet...but it will kick the THC production into high gear really quick and when added to your increased light cycle of 14 hours instead of 12 hours, you will be pleasantly suprised when you lite up!

BTW...your foil is just fine the way it is. You aren't losing a single lumen.

Keep up the good work little brother...you are doing such a good job...

Proud of you 9ski...

Take care and good luck!

here some white russians on the mixture at 3 week flower....

will go to regular feeding (I have switched from the cactus bloom to KA-BLOOM) and then at week 6 & 7 do again feed the mixture.

no need to flush either...super smooooth.....

[9ski9]

Wow, holy shit, Bro! What an awesome surprise!

And I have a project! I'm all over it tomorrow!

Thanks, HD!

(That was 5 exclamation points! Eh, six.)

No shit skiâ?¦.kinda makes you smile inside.



You knew heâ??d be paying attention...how could he not?

Nice to see you HARD your garden is wow.

Just a quick Flower Day 17 update...

Switched to 14/10 light schedule...no more SuperThrive...

Hit the liquor store for a pint of JD and the grocery store for non scented ammonia (we had the rest), then mixed the following in 2 gallon jugs of generic bottled water:

1 tbspn...lipton iced tea dry granules
1 tbspn...JD whiskey
1 tbspn...clear corn syrup
1 tbspn...dry plain gelatin powder
1 tbspn...plain non scented ammonia
3 egg shells ground in a mortar and pestle

I'll be mixing this up two more times...also fed them a 5-1-1 fish emulsion that I already had.

I'm a little nervous about this, since it's the first time I've strayed from what I know...but if HD says do it, then you DO IT. And, BTW, thanks again, HD!

[HARDDON]

Oh yea, I forgot.

Add 1 Tbspn...Dishwashing liquid...like Dawn / Palmolive...

That will help promote beneficial bacterial growth in the soil.

It'll kick your potency into high gear.:dance:

[9ski9]

Cool, got it, HD...I'll add it to the next two batches.
