First and foremost, you gotta get your heat under control. 90 is unacceptable if you're trying to grow good herb from heavy plants. Shoot for mid-to-high 70s.Understand grow itself will do just fine, have never attempted just grow w ff but with Dyna the gro didn't produce as much yield as when combined. However it did make for healthy plants and actually brought real color to 1 of cc Gs cookies that never came out with anything else, however low yields can put one on edge about going just grow, this could be a lack of knowledge
If you don't mind HB could you explain the method to your madness like you have already done many times but be great if you do so for me
1. Why in containers do you feel grow is only needed
2. what caused a difference in yield for grow vs grow and bloom grow producing happy plants, grow and bloom producing heavier plants
If schools in session I'll take a front seat. It's great to make a heavy harvest but it's important to know why it happened
Ps. If you search your feedback enough and your teachings one would eventually come across Tapla he grows orchids it's like you have a twin out there same exact concepts
1. There is a difference between hydro and containers in terms of nutrient utilization. In containers, I like promix, I've run the tests, something balanced more towards N all the way through is your best bet. Conservative feeding levels and good watering technique/practices play a huge role too.
2. Combos of grow and bloom from just about any brand in containers is going to cause some yellowing and some leaf loss. Just like Uncle Ben says, you need to keep those leaves healthy and intact for your best production and bottles weighted towards N how you keep those leaves alive. That's why for me, Grow and Foliage Pro kill it in promix. But I also have some Pure Blend Grow at 3-1.5-4 which would do well too.
Try a couples mls/gal of Growbig at every watering with good watering technique and I bet you'll grow the best plants of your life. DG's Grow is an option too, just use less.
