Thanks a lot everybody!

Yeah that "Other Tomato" is incredible stuff, I really think it has a lot to do w/ my results so far!

I'll post some updates tomorrow even though I really should try to go more then a couple of days between each one hah.
Your plants look healthy and normal, I'd reserve any credit until you've done a side-by-side. Keep up the good work!

Well while I haven't done a side by side report, I do remember when I very first started using the stuff I was almost instantly impressed the next day w/ the fuller more lush looking foliage I had, though I guess that could have just been 'growth' between that day and the next, but I honestly feel this has a lot to do w/ it. Especially that it also has molasses which I've always heard plants love (sugars), and the stuff itself has a very interesting smell that I can't help but think must somehow affect flavor/final scent.

I'm technically not using it in the manner it was intended though, it was intended to be able to just be used in conjunction w/ my fertilizer, so just Dynagro and OtherTomato; however I'm using it on top of not only fertilizer but other goodies as well, so however that is contributing.

Either way I am definitely impressed!

Hey thanks for the comments guys! I'm really looking forward to tomorrows feeding, this is pretty much what I'm going to be giving them from here on out until flush time. I mix the following in to a little over 4 gallons of RO water in this order:

4 ML Protekt
6 ML Bloom (Dynagro)
5 ML MagPro (will go to 6 next week)
~6ML FL+
~15-20ML FloraBlend, however much just pours out at the time between those 2 lines.

~120-130ML OtherTomato (4 shot glasses)

1ML 'Companion' (Bacillus Subtillis) The bottle says use 2 tsps/gall every 2-3 weeks, so I use this slightly different then the recommendation, I start w/ like .2, .3, then .5 for a long time, then only bump up to 1 recently and i use it every feeding as opposed to every 2-3 weeks. I learned on my last grow the stuff is very hot.

15-20ML Hygrozyme, same as Florablend, however much just pours out between those two lines. Only just began adding hygrozyme as of last feeding. I've heard from two very reputable sources now (both work at the hydro store and get to use literally EVERYTHING and anything they want in their grows so they get a lot of experience). The older 'wiser' seeming one says don't use hygrozyme until after about two weeks of flower (so I take that to mean after raw buds/possibly trichs appear). He says this is because there are beneficial bacteria to have at those stages and through veg that hygrozyme eliminates/and or just isn't necessary at that point (would have to clarify exactly again) but bottom line he said after 2 weeks in. The other guy who is younger but I know grows multiple systems at once and really gets a feel for a lot of the things that are out there he says he mixes hygrozyme w/ AN's zyme and uses both through the whole life of the plant. Either way I was told by a third guy who also works at that store that 'The Other Tomato' has it's own zymes (which I confirmed here on RIU but it's zymes I don't think are the same as hygrozyme/what have you), so technically my plant has been zymed almost it's whole life. That and who knows what the soil itself has/had to offer.


I'm still debating on how I'm going to run my flush, I don't know if I should just give straight water for last two weeks, or if I should do like I've seen some people recommend just run water through them for many minutes straight once a day for like the last 3-5 days, so the water comes out clear by the end.

I'm also toying w/ the notion of screwing my 600w MH back in for the last 2 weeks of flower, see where that gets me. Any thoughts?

Oh also, after reading a few threads about lighting, I realized I should say I'm using Digilux bulbs in a Phantom 600W ballast under the Hydrofarm Daystar AC 6" hood.

Rofl to above post ^, but hey thanks everyone, yeah they certainly are looking great! I'm going to try to put some time between my next update, that way there will be some significant difference.

But in the mean time, what do you guys think of the idea of swapping back to the 600w MH for the last week or two of flower?

Also, any thoughts on my flush? I want them to be sweet and delicious, and remember they are in Roots Organic soil so even w/o nutes they should be still well supplied to continue developing, so I'm thinking possibly of just straight RO for the last 2 weeks (mag deficiency...?), and what about adding Sweet or some kind of Molasses during that period as well? Most likely not to the end I would assume.

Another method that I've heard is to just run water through them until it comes out clear? This sounds brutally destructive and possibly can drown my roots though... but I don't know I've never done this in soil.

What do you guys think?
