Flowering additives

[Evil Buddies]

I use poultry manure pellets a blood bone and fish meal, liquid organic sea weed and getting some bat guano and anything else i can get my hands. I mix this into the soil and top it up now and then.

One more thing---I have tried almost all the bloom stims on the market and the greenfuse has worked the best for me---a close second would be the bloom stim from House and Garden.

i just tried out the house and gardan shooting powder, seemed pretty good for a late flower additive,

dam doc, your the man

The have used both in the past but now just stick with the bigbud---I also use allot of Indonesian guano and green-light flowering booster.

natures own.com horticulture molasses works great.they have all organic.

 

[Homegrowncronic]

I use Purple Max Snow Storm, Earth Juice catalyst and bloom, and Carbo -boost powder.

hey doc they don't sell greenfuse or house and garden at my local, and I don't really want to pay $10-20 online to ship a $20 bottle, but I know that greenfuse is made by the same people that make b'cuzz, which they do carry. Do you think I should go with that or is there a better alternative.

[High4Life]

Have any of ya,s tried top shooter .. I was going to order some, The say its its suppose to add 35% ,
With the 60 -70% weight loss when drying that could half it to 35% haha

Any truth it in ?

So I just bought some Liquid Sea Kelp and mixed it into the water last feeding. I still have about half the bottle left, should I foliar feed this duing flowering or give the rest of it to the soil now? Im about 5-6 weeks into flowering.

i have heard good things about apple juice( all natural , no added sugars or chemicals) and molasses mixed with water, about 1/2 tablespoon per cup

My gut reaction is that molasses, which is mostly sticky sugar syrup, will tend to attract rather than repel insects.
I note, cadenza, that you have only HEARD about this - not actually tried it then ??

i used A LOT of molasses on my first plant this season. turned out great, it really swelled the buds up. and i have to say that it gave no problems with bugs/insects/pests etc.
thats just my expereince though, my problems now are deer and other varmits

 

[Schwag Bag]

Ya Ive been using molasses at1 tbl spoon per 2 gal cause i feed with a 2 gallon jug and give that to each plant. It might be half the doseage suggested here but I really don't want to over do it. I was just wondering if any has any experience with buds swelling because of foliar feeding with kelp?

 

[IndicaFriendica]

Ah hell yea, one clean cup of dog shit to every 2 gallons of soil, or as a feed of 1 cup 3 gallons water, great for foliage feeding too.

Best Advice dude.

Peace,

from what i understand and have seen, you cant over-do the molasses. its an additive, rather than a nutrient. so you will not burn the plant from it...on one plant this year i added 4 tblsp of molasses per gallon just to experiment. i cant say it wasnt a good idea

No....LOL

I doesn't attract bugs, it's a natural repellent. Ever heard of peppermint? Thats another natural bug repellent (dont use on plants...use on yourself to keep mosquito's away)

 

[robdogg]

the molasses will attract ants...thats a fact lol. i'll post pictures today if i can

i had no idea you could use apple juice... well wegmans here i come!!!

I don't think anyone agreed with using the apple juice though... or did I miss that post?
Sure don't see one saying that its safe to use. Apple juice is going to be fairly high in acids too though.. so be careful.
Apple Juice is acidic... not sure what that would do to the microbes in the soil either. Would it be beneficial for them? A meal for them?
Or... would it simply be too strong and kill them off.. therefore leaving the grower with ruined acidic soil??.. and then possibly plant problems?

Things need to be tested and thought through thoroughly before actually using it on your precious ladies. I won't use anything, unless I know for sure 110% sure.. that it won't harm my soil or my plants. Better safe than sorry right? Right.

peace..
