The medium i used for this grow is just cheap topsoil i baught from the grocery store. Currently their all growin in 1 single pastic rubbermaid box. during the 2nd month of flowering, i was inducing very small amounts of cheap schultz fertilizer, but realized this method was not going to work too well. I then started creating my own organic mix, half an egg, quarter of a banana blended up mixed with water then filtered. I saw a huge boost in my plants growth. But for some reason the buds were still lacking a bit.
As for my secret.. it really isnt such a secret as a mistake.. I always keep my CFLs not more than 3 inches away from my buds with LOTS of reflectors. I was away for a week, and when i came back i realized 3 tops were burned just a tiny bit. The growth suffered for a day or 2, this happend 4 weeks into flowering. And for the rest of the flowering stage, those 3 burnt tops just grew insane, fattening up insteaed of growing upwards. There is a huge difference as you can tell from the 2nd and third pic, thesize of the nugs.
my fingers hurt, and so there it is. Hope you guys can all pull off heavy harvests. And remember! plants can feel your love and care
