the formula

I'm using subcool super soil. I followed the recipe exactly for 1/8 batch and wet it and let it "marinate " for atleast 30 days not sure exactly. During the course of the grow I added Humboldt myco madness when I transplanted from cups to 2 gal containers. Then I started using some humic/fulvic acid powder I would make a solution then add like 2oz/gall and I got some bennies free from microbe life it was 4 different bottles but they were all pretty much the same thing. Really good stuff tho. What it didn't have was strains of trichoderma which fight pythium or root rot and also protect against disease and pests. The myco madness had richoderma but I didn't know this bacteria aided in preventing and fighting root rot until about two weeks ago. Anyway that's what I added until like 12 days into flower I got a free sample of Humboldt crystal burst and bought botanicare florabloom I believe it was called. I used those together with molasses and the bennies at very very low strength for 1 or 2 waterings then left on vacation for 15 days with nobody to take care of them but they survived. On a side note the crystal burst is 0-15-15 with b1 and the botanicare is like 0-10-4. The very first time I used them was June 24th i remember cuz I woke up on my birthday (25th) to a horrible sight of nute burn all over my entire good plant. I flushed it immediately and by next day it was pretty much back to new. And that was at about 1/4 strength so I let em recover and fed lightly rt before I left on vacation. When I got back I had fungus gnats and root rot I'm guessing cuz of the water the cloth pot was sitting in. So long story short I've fed very lightly maybe 4-5 times over past month since vacation that's all the nutes. I got some hygrozyme a couple weeks back but only got to use it 3 times cuz I was waiting longer between watering cuz I think I overwatered which led to root rot and fungus gnats. Not sure whether to use hygrzyme during flushing as someone made the point that it breaks down organic material releasing nitrogen which is one of the things were trying to get rid of. Don't know if that's true but haven't found any conclusive evidence for or against mostly just pissing contests in forums that have nothing to do with original post. So that's what's in my soil. I know all of my buds aren't ready yet cuz they have all clear and hardly any cloudy but some are getting a few amber spots. Oh I just said eff it the last two weeks on the bennies and tried the peroxide. The bennies did their part all through the grow for me so I had to get that last bit of oxygen I cud to roots to regenerate, absorb and flush I don't care if I need to flush or not the plant needs to transpire properly for a while its been stunted and beaten pretty bad by elements that I now have under better control. It stopped being sticky to the touch and not a lot of smell on fingers after a pinch like before. The h2o2 turned it around visibly overnight. New white pistalls from multiple places on larger buds and foaming out of popcorn buds. By today the branches felt soft and moist and pliable like 360° turns the buds were sticky and smelled like trix cereal and skunks. So. That's why I abandoned my bennis this late. Frigging fungus gnats are all but gone tafter peroxide treatment and I believe I went llightly according to some peoples crazy asses. I think people put shit on here sometimes to purposely fuck with people. So even tho I went light on nutes ( my bottle of crystal burst got tipped over and when I found it it had salt/sugar like residue around the cap. Stopped using it but only had 1 more feeding left anyway. I still want a propped flush I believe in my last post I said I was 95% organic LOL. 5 feedings with low doses of pk nutes shouldn't effect the product but after all I put into that soil and equipment I need some descent smoke to last me. I plan on buying a zip of some dank rt when I harvest to hold me over till I slow dry and do a propper ass cure. Damn I do all this from my phone so I can't look up and read what questions u had hope I got em all if not I will.
