Anyone use the general hydroponics floranectar sweetener line? Seems basically like a molasses additive but didnt kno if it was negligible to raw molasses or better. In anyones opinion
If it is just a molasses supplement get your hands on Plantation brand unsulphered blackstrap molasses. WAY more nutrition in that one compared to, say Brer Rabbit.. Haven't used a bottle since the hydro days but even then I was way more of a noob than I am today..

What is your knowledge of Eagle 10? Do you know if there is a similarity in the "recipe" for Eagle 20? If so that shit scares me and I'd rather pick out seeds than worry about a contamination and all of the health risks that come along for the ride.. Just sayin. :peace:
That is one reason why they pulled those products. I always used protective gear when using Reverse. According to the MSDS spread sheet you would have to expose yourself for extended amounts of time unprotected and not practice general sanitary methods. Me personally I only use it when absolutely necessary. I have never used it as some preventative agent.

@luv2grow I just wanted to ask do you have handy products that got pulled from U.S. stores in last couple of years? The two products I was familiar with were Dutchmaster's Reverse and Eagle 10. In your case you had an issue(s) that caused stress that your plants then they ultimately threw out some nanners. Lets suggest you corrected the environmental issue(s) then you applied the aforementioned products several times. If the nanners do not return then it worked. Only instances I can think of off the top of my head when those products do not work is when 1) you did not resolve environmental issue to begin with prior to treatment and 2) if the problem existed in the genetic pedigree to begin with. Hope your problems resolve broski :-) .
Amazing info cat! I have a friend that just may have some sitting around. If not then we are just going to roll with the environment corrected and run em out. 24 days to go if I pull from the last flower run harvest begin date. After All this I went through my personal jar of the last runs top buds. Guess what I found..... One bud with a little nan sticking out. Went digging, no seed but the husk was def. there. Been installing different fans in the rooms and measuring pressures. Off to grab a ac unit right now so I'll ask at some stores for a chemical solution. Really would be nice if it wasn't 80 deg's here in the dead of winter. Such a strange year. It really screwed up my plan for building and using this double insulated new space. At least I killed it on the double insulated/sealed and quiet part haha

You folks are spectacular, but you all know that already :bigjoint:

I can attest to the dm reverse. Used it back in my hydro days on a g13 plant that was a herm. She was a huge yeilder and straight rks stench u could smell a block away. So i still ran her even tho. The reverse worked but i cant say its health affects. I believe its discontinued but all im sayin is- it worked.
@luv2grow @calicat There's a product by Optic Foliar called switch. Doesn't exactly work like Dutch Master Reverse did, but it's more of an "in case you think your plants are going to herm," product. It's a RTU, says you have to use it with Optic Foliar Transport (10ml/liter 2tsp/quart) spray day 7 & 17 of bloom cycle or the first sign of flower stress. It's a 0-0.02-2 (Phosphate P2O5 0.02%, Soluble POtash K2O 2.0%).

I've used it before, marginal burning issue though :/. Transport is suppose to make it able to spray when your lights are on, I've used transport before to do this with almost no burning at all (one time I forgot to cut the nutes by 1/2 when using transport which led to burning).

I used to use it in my dro days. I liked it. Liked AN bud candy better tho but its more expensive. Nowadays molasses does everything and more than the synthetic sweeteners did, for me. Its all about that black strap mayne!!!

Purple Diesel x 88g13hp This lady smelled like purple grape cough syrup and nothing else until about a week to a week and a half before harvest. At harvest the purple grape smell has almost all but disappeared and turned into a stinky diesel kinda smell with just a hint of that hashplant hash smell. She was a small plant not very vigorous but for her size she was a decent yielder big dense bugs. it should be noted that her nugs weren't as hard as the Ancient Og F3 or many other hashplant crosses. I guess you could say she was purple diesel dominate..

I had a male or whatever out of this package of beans that was literally half female and half male from the getgo.. never seen a male 5050 before... One last thing, she was pretty leafy and the pics are after I View attachment 3625187 View attachment 3625189 View attachment 3625190 View attachment 3625191 View attachment 3625192 View attachment 3625204 View attachment 3625210 plucked lots of leaves off
does my spidey sense detect some 8-legged cocksuckers on that plant?? (mites?)
Those fuckers....

they use a simialr product (florel?) in the cucumber and watermelon growing game .... so it was taken from shelves as it was unlabled for applied use .... you dont smoke cucumbers though and the product is long gone when it makes fruit ...

? for all you MH flower peeps. Do you change your light height at all compared to the hps? Might be a ridiculous question but one I'm throwing around in my head since I just added a 600 mh to the flower room. Going for a 2 week MH/Hps swap timing with supplemental UVA/B's until these new led fixtures get built.

think I need to get on this veg side, Getting a little jungle-ish in here. All you seed heads know this problem.... There is a lot of work to be done now. I need to put a hold on my card at all seed banks for the next year or so haha. 5 goji, 8 silver lotus and 4 Love Triangles.
I never change the light height on the MH, and I also have no glass on that hood either
I DO get a fan specifically blowing into the hood though.

I just had my major bout with bugs first time ever in 10 years of indoor growing smdh:cuss:hopentl never have any ever again and now that you mention it has to be where I got my bugs from as I do everything possible to not have them and I did get dirt from the store around that time. Hope you get it straightened out

It was a winter of 'firsts', amigo. Had a first bout of pm that wiped out a beautiful tent of half bloomed Fat Purple, and had three males appear from 3 ' female ' seeds. :wall: No, really.

BTW - good to see you're back, well, and multiplying. :eyesmoke:

What is your normal MH height? I mounted a 16 inch hurricane blowing over it and the hoods ducted to a 6 inch vortek on high. MH seemed warmer than the new bulb in the hps. First time I've ran across that one. Appreciate the info! makes me wonder if i need a booster in there now.

This is definitely worth a shot. And the results of this stress induced herm reversal would be awsome.
Wasn't able to track any of the mentioned products down today. My area is kinda small so I'll go looking on the intro-net tonight. If I can track it down and we have enough time left in flower to use it properly, I'd love to document that process!!!!
