Are you meaning if your plant is currently experiencing nutrient lockout can you foliar feed to help get it back into homeostasis? The answer is yes but you need to first fix the issue around the root mass. The plant can uptake nutrients still by foliar feeding which can help alleviate some of the symptoms, but overall it needs to be fixed before it goes past the point of no return and the cultivar ultimately dies. Got any pics?
Nah not at the moment... But i was thinking because i think of nuit lock as the roots not taking nuits do to whatever.. But the foliar feeding works differently using the leaves. Just a temp fix untill the nuit lock is resolved as far as the roots are concerned.

I haven't done any foliar feeding in years but it can help, if your roots are not uptaking, but like BD says you have to fix whatever is wrong with the roots, if it's just because you overwatered that can help. But still most of the time it will just work itself out if you have good nutrients in your soil. I flushed a plant once because I used too many nutes, while recovering from the flush, the foliar feeding seemed to help. Did it? I think so but it could have just taken off as soon as the roots were healthy again. Growers back in the 80's used something called superthrive and swore by it. Now they have a superthrive foliar spray, we made our own mix with it for seedlings and for spray. I used it for a while then didn't and couldn't tell the difference in healthy plants. I haven't used it since the early 90's. Most of the time people mess their plants up with foilar sprays though, so I don't usually tell anyone to use them. It just adds another variable for people to F up.

This is not a tester run. Tester seeds, from Useful's generosity, but I'm a bit too scattered to do testing anymore. I was just showing off, lol!

When I did test for B, and Useful, I grew with what method (or non-method!) I was using at the time. B told me it's a test, test 'em!

Believe me, when you're in my grow, you get tested, lol!
My shit gets tested too! Between the kids being home from school, not going to Grandma and Grandpa's on the weekend every once in a while and my admitted laziness sometimes I wonder how they make it all. Lol. It's amazing how much more you get when you veg an extra month or so.

Its been so long since ive had smoke that i find myself smoke sugar leafs.. The act of a desperate man. But still im impressed.
Been there done that. As a matter of fact I used to buy sugar leaves from a guy in Kansas, from the same bud I got from him. Basically we bought the whole plant from him. Lol. We called it Pine Bud and I haven't came across anything that smelled that strongly of pine. It did the trick and was way better than scraping my pipe for the resin. Lol.

I leave sugar leaves on quite often, I think they do a good job of protecting the glands under them. As long as there aren't too many it's not going to make your bud taste green and when you pull them off everything under them is pristine. (don't do this for outdoors though) I figure the less broken glands on the stuff I'm going to smoke the better. I pull them off when I'm going to smoke and save them for screening sift hash, I'll have a whole bunch of sugar leaves from a bunch of different strains and then sift them all at once. Then I hand roll the sift into temple balls old school style. Heat and pressure from your hands is enough to roll 2 gram balls that smoke just like the old school hash from back in the day. If it won't roll into a ball it's trash and has too much leaf in it. When done right you can light a corner up and it will smolder until it's gone. And the cool thing about doing it this way is that the sugar leaves got a good cure that way too. Old School Hash made correctly has the glands cured and dried correctly before pressing it.

Greetings Useful Seeds community,

This is my 1st post on this thread but I'm active on the Bodhi Seeds thread. Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts on the Bag Of Oranges strain. Popped 2 seeds, kept one and gave the other to a buddy. Grown in Fox Farm Ocean Forest and fed filtered water its whole life cycle. Grown under 600W LED (cheap Amazon light), vegged for 30 days, flowered for 62 days. Yielded slightly above average but quality was on point. In the tent, if i would bump up against the plant, the whole room would smell of an orange grove, not even kidding, straight up fresh picked oranges, delightful. Useful's description is spot on, and i only popped 1 seed. The dried nugs were very frosty and maintained a stale marshmallow consistency after 2 week cure. The fresh buds (before cure) had a sharper citrus bite, more orange peel-like; After 2 weeks in the jar, still super orange but the sharpness mellowed out to a sweeter, less acidic orange flavor. This bud tastes EXACTLY like it smells and the flavor stays on your palette for a while, very terpene-rich. A couple bong hits and I'm feeling good, but too much will keep you in your place and becomes quite stoney. Good outdoor bud to go on a hike or throw frisbees in the park with friends. Super loud orange terps combined with solid potency and a breeze to grow makes this variety a keeper for sure. No stability issues either. If you have a chance to cop a pack, do it. Highly recommended!boolive.jpgboodry.jpgboodry2.jpg

Chem Cookie Trip is my vote, only because I have a pack and would like to see more of it before I pop mine. Lol. They all sound lovely though to be honest.

Welcome to the useful thread and great lookung grow. The blackened oranges was an easy grow and was a huge plant done around 65 days iirc. I also partaked in some double dipped strawberries and it was incredibly strong. A good friend that has smoked 20+ years said it was the best hes ever had. It was super dense indica leaning and smelled of strawberries. Ive grown mephistos strawberry nuggets a few times and it was almost identical. It finshed around 9 weeks in coco. Again, welcome

Any news on the adub or skywalker night time crosses? Nothing but positive reviews on current useful strains. Thanks for making this happen, we needed it

chem cookie trip should be run ASAP. Mine was similar to subcool Dairy Queen with powdered milk, floral incense, and cheese skunk. Really nice yielder. Needs tons of training like a damn bonsai but worth it. I don’t think I took many pics but I’ll check. It’s a winner.

I’m waiting for full packs of the GG#4 x CD & Gelato 45 x CD but I’ve been eyeing that Box of Chocolates 4 . If it had the Double Dipped Strawberries instead of the Blueberries n Chocolate I would’ve pulled the trigger. :eyesmoke:
It is looking like I need a bigger boat...............lol. Folks wanted mix packs, folks want full packs. I am doin my best to give people what they want. Honestly.........I never thought I would be in this position.

Not to add to the weight but.....any plans on doing a mix pack with unrelated strains? Absolutely nothing against the current offerings of course!
