Gravity flower hardener

[Weedhound]

Is anyone familiar with this stuff? It was recommended to me but I have no idea what it is or what it does. "Flower hardener" sounds kind of scary to me. What does that mean exactly? Worth using? Thanks for any words of wisdom.

I my self would like some info on this? has anyone used it?

[Weedhound]

Come on guys! Made by Humboldt County's Own. Must be SOMEBODY from Humboldt county on these forums! The ingrediants are: 0.75% ascophyllum nodusum (huh?) which is sea kelp apparently and 0.01% B1 (thiamine hydrochloride). Flower hardener--not going to mummify my buds is it? Or would that be a good thing?

PS Did use Humboldt County's own Bushmaster to slow the height on some of my plants and it worked well which is why I'm interested in this stuff.

I just bought some of this but it will be about 6 weeks till I know if it's any good.
I'm a little confused on the directions but I'm asuming that you use this for about 1 week 3 weeks from the end and go back to reg' chemicals.
we shall see.
I would like to hear from someone that has used it first.....

MN, did they tell you what it would do or is supposed to do? The directions confuse me somewhat too.

[MyNameIsNobody]

It's supposed to thicken up your "flowers" ya know make them heavier.
as far as the directions go I'm going to try a little less for 7 days with maybe 1/3 of the regular chemicals and go back to regular chem mix after then i usually finish with 3 days of straight water.
the guy at the store did tell me not to use it if your plants are under any kind of stress like from bugs or whatever.
It's still about 3 weeks till I try it but I'll keep ya posted.

Mmmm. I'm going to avoid it as Thiamine I think is a root stimulator that can slow flower development- same main ingredient in SuperThrive and any transplanting solution you can get. But the kelp is awesome. You can get plain ol' kelp extract pretty cheap and it's good for flowering.

I'm about to throw some in a final cycle at 30 days flowering an indica. I'm shooting for around 2 weeks with a 1 week flush or so... I'll post back here when I think about it and it's harvested.

It hardens your flowers. If you go overboard, they can definitely become too dense, and you'll possibly find yourself encountering mold problems where there weren't any before (if you use too much). Bushmaster, if you use too much of this, multiple reports of hermies are out there. I try and stay away from things where you have to so precise (the difference between nanners and no nanners with bushmaster is 1 mL/ga), or you risk fucking up your whole crop. I'm sticking with Advanced for my flowering supplements (no Bud Blood though).

[Weedhound]

Well I don't worry about hermies....I use DM feminiser so hermies are a thing of the past for me......the bushmaster I used to slow the height of the growth branches and it worked great...I don't use it anymore because I want longer branches to lst with....was still in veg when I used it so don't know if that makes any difference. I guess what I'm wondering is what the stuff is supposed to "harden" your flowers with....more bud? more trichomes? Or just excess moisture etc that really doesn't improve the bud itself?
