I dont know man.... It looks like it has a lot of white dots. I think you should burn it!

 

[Mr.Head]

Make sure if you do burn it you have proper equipment attached for ventilation. You must use your lungs as a filter or the environment could be damaged. Just my opinion though

 

[charface]

Agreed. Prolly use it for animal testing.
one thing I will admit is that thr quality of the buds has little to do with me. The people who created the varieties are the ones.
I simply feed them all standard organic ingredients and let the chips fall where they may.

I was just wondering this. What if you had a great organic grow going on but your plant pretty much used up whats in the soil. Growing within a soil food web is this possible? Obviously growing indoors might be slightly outside of a natural outdoor soil food web. I think maybe throughout flowering I am missing something that the hydro nutes have. I have also found top dressing works great with organics. Dr earth is the most recent I have found.

Forgot to add on one auto im growing I have fed once in flower with gh lucas formula, followed with a ewc tea soil drench the next watering, since any salt based fertilizer is supposed to be detrimental to living organisms in soil. But reinnoculation with almost any viable ACT seems to fix anything. Idk how a small amount of chemical ferts can affect an organic grow. Not sure all organic ferts are what they say.

In my experience
yes you can use up the food sooner than you plan.

I try to topdress now a couple weeks prior to when I think it will be ready.

If I miss the mark I have liquid guano I may have to hit it a time or two.

I try not to cut my nose off to spite my face.

I will resort to a bottle if I need it.
im getting better at not needing.

I dont use salt on my grows because I feel the microbes are a must.

If you kill them my guess is you might think you are out of nutes when really you just killed the herd and now need to start again by adding them or continue with salt

 

[SpaaaceCowboy]

Really, if I under apply some amendment (usually a N source), I'll grab the Jack's Classic.

The fastest thing (for me), is blood meal and that still takes 2 weeks before I see any results. Other things take even longer.

You do what you need to do to ensure a successful harvest and fuck that 100% organic BS. You alter your mix or when you top dress the next go round, it gets dialed in eventually.

With those plants and only needing to apply TB twice, I'd say you are really close to having it dialed. I'll bet you top dressed late for flowering. I know I did.

Just curious....does jack's classic have salts in it that will kill off the micros ?

Is that one inside a SOG or SCROG? That is a ridiculous amount of bud sites!

Its just plants in 5gal buckets that i supercrop.

 

[ballaboyee21]

Dang that's one helluva canopy you've got! Ultimate coverage. Nice shot. I'm thinking about doing a SCROG in half of my closet w either a 7g or 10g smart pot.

let us know how ya do

Will do, in your experience does a larger pot mean the plant will try to stretch to abnormal heights? Since I'm in a confined space I was thinking I shouldn't do a 10 gal. But I hear people yield much better in more soil due to larger root space. I have a nutrient called Amino Aide http://www.amazon.com/Aurora-Innovation-Soul-Synthetics-Amino/dp/B0055F4GHS that is supposed to control stretch factor in pre-flowering. I'd love your opinion on the matter charface seems like you know whats up.

 

[charface]

Can not give actual results.
but i have a buddy who grows indoor plants in 12-25+ gl bags and fue to training i doubt they get three feet tall and put out average an lb.

I like big pots as they hold more of what the plants need.

I know guys that water every day and dare not miss a day.

At my house.
i transplant into 5 gal buckets 1-2 weeks before i start flower.
even with good ventelation, ac etc.
They are going through about a gal a day.

Transplant prior to flip.
topdress after stretch

Sorry for the ramble

 

[charface]

Picture is aweful but this guy is growing single plants in a biggish bag.
you are talking about an extra month of veg n lots of training

 

[ballaboyee21]

Awesome! Thanks for the knowledge! Ramble on (Zep pun intended) ! Seems like it would be worth the extra veg time to me. Thanks again. That pic is a great reference to the subject. I'm stuck at 1.5 zips per 3.5 gal pot under 300 watt. That's with a 2-3 week veg period. I think I've been convinced to go up to 10 gallons next time. I might even try a larger pot if things go well. I will post results!
