Just because something is printed in a mag doesn't mean it's true. They're just articles written by someone that interviewed a grower. Next month someone could be interviewed that says the opposite. Difference between a good and bad mag is their choice of people they interview and the content...
As for the original post, like someone said above, the best thing you have in that line up is the Hydrozyme...Don't spend so much on Tarantual or Pihrana...go with Great White...They're 1/2 the price and 10 times the quality.
Not to knock your grow but brewer is right, no way you're pulling 11 lbs with that set up. Judging by the pictures you put up, I doubt if you would even get 1gpw...They look great and everything but you don't have that much weight there
Got a feeling this is about to get interesting :)
As for the original post, I agree that you should cut back on the nutes...As for the fan leaves, I pluck the bigger fan leaves but don't do more than 10% - 15%....Also, I don't touch the leaves after week 4 or 5 of bloom.
Use blackstrap mollasses at the rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of water....mix it well and just feed it. It's actually really good...I know it causes problems in hydro gardens but never heard anyone complain about it in soil
I wouldn't water the day before harvesting because it just adds on to the time it will take to dry it. You don't want to starve the plants for several days just to cut your dry time but I usually stop watering 2 days before harvest. By the time I chop them, they're just about ready for another...

Exactly...If someone wants a purple version of something and you're able to provide that without compromising much, why wouldn't you? Also, haven't really seen someone pay more for something just because it's purple...they may buy it to try it but I don't think they're going to pay more just...
I would say it's going to be a big burden and will get tiring after 2 or 3 weeks but it looks like you're set on it....That being said, what I would suggest is pushing the time back a little. Instead of 6 to 6, do something like 8 to 8 or 9 to 9....The afternoon change won't be as bad as waking...
