Holidays Update... I'm pretty medicated now so bare with me, my last free seed harvest of Aphrodite is some amazing indica man... I used to be like "free seeds pfft probably junk..." so don't be like me and try every strain you can, no matter what the reviews or the cost.
There is a lot of
BS and
"Hear Say" in this hobby, and I have seen it been through it and now I think risen above it. We will get to that in a minute... as this last flower run test of the "useless method" has me thinking in a new direction... I will explain after the pictures and report of the plant now.
Here she is about 2 weeks or maybe bit more before harvest. Very nice size indeed, judging by nugs and previous harvests of the same size ChemDog pheno I suspect... 7-8oz dry product. This pheno is on the OG side with BIG Calax and rock hard nugs even when dry.. so yield is excellent. I hope I never lose this cut... it rocks very "Stoned" old school smoke, it is like forget the fruit, berry, purple this just
HIT ME and
HIT ME FU!*@ HARD! Many people love it... the others well they fear it.
She is big and green for the most part, except for a few of these leaves where the Mg dropped bit low as I was topping off with just RO water unless needed to adjust. I didn't have to add Mg for the SuperNatural or DynaGro runs. Maybe I was running this mixture bit low, but other nutes I tried didn't have this issue with same top off routine.
The nugs are all frosty as always and calaxing outward like a kraken...
CALL IN THE KRAKEN I say when they start doing this.
So all in all the grow and speed is excellent with the "useless formula" as long as you maybe give a bit more Micro or supplement CalMag.
So now here is my new line of thinking on this "growing thing" well at least for me. Maybe some of you will find something helpful with this rambling, I have tried probably 10 or more nutrient lines in same growing style, environment etc.
This has me boxing up every nutrient I own and giving them away except for my DynaGro nutrients, as everyone of them produced similar buds, just different problems or corrections with them etc. The DynaGro for me produced every bit of yield, taste and with the kicker it was pretty much trouble free grows. That is in laymen terms "very forgiving for my
noob ass" nutrient line, that produces buds and yield vs nutes costing 4x more.
I mean this is not me saying
USE DYNAGRO, for me its what I want and I don't need anything else. No magic formula, super bud tastic improved snake oils, it's a business and every business needs customers buying what's NEW HOT or IMPROVED. I can't tell you how many growers come to me or I read saying
"WOW the dude at the grow shop said this is the SHIT!" Well it's also his store, or someone's that is pushing that Super Bud-tastic product to turn profits.
I found a great formula that works for me and is problem free, and I was still wandering and reading well into 5+ years of growing... well nothing has beat DG for me, probably never will. As long as it stay's constant and true on every strain I throw at it, I will be content now. Plant's are plants, flowers are flowers, and how good quality they are have very little to do with nutrients and probably more how they are grown/treated. They need very little, or you can push them to produce the same product. Meaning if you slam 1.8EC down my Sour OG strain it will swell those buds up, but it doesn't matter which brand of nutes I use as long as it's what N-P-K I want and I provide it to them. So again DG is that and problem free for me...
Sorry for the rambling but some of you seen my grows where I am always trying this or that, well pretty much no more. They all produce the same result, you should use the one that works well for you and just "grow". You can accomplish
SO much more using that problem free nute you love, and fine tuning your room, lighting, environment...
THOSE will have the biggest impact. Now that is not to say if the nutrients are not working for you then by all means try and experiment.
Oh... here is that C99 from Useless as well. I had the same Mg problems here, but quickly corrected with Epsom salts.
Here is a baby white rhino to test for cloning on DynaGro recipe I have. You can just see how healthier they are at such a smaller amount of product and cost.. it's crazy. It's effortless with DynaGro.. unlike most. I like that and will stick with them at least for me.
Here is DG in Veg.. on my one of my baby ChemDog's..
