I just put 2 WW Max femmed in 12/12 after 3 weeks veg and top. I've been feeding her the same as my Jackhammers and am noticing something going on. I'm was just sitting down to surf around and try to diagnose it. BTW, they're in soil and I got them from marijuana-seeds.nl and can't find any breeder info on them but they are really vigorous plants.

My first grow I rekoned everything was More the better.... more light, closet to the plants, low temps, more air circulation, more rez changes, and of course MORE nutes. I was pumping the ppms around 1300-1400. Regarding everything else... I do think more is better... but I don't thing that way with nutrients anymore. I don't think I've gone above 900 in any grow since then. For one, it's just a waste of nutrients. Also I haven't had a deficiency show up once. I am of the opinion to give the plants the least ammount of nutrients possible, so I wouldn't be worrying if a plant can't handle 1200ppms... I would be trying to see if she could enjoy 900... even 800. In my opinion the nutrients are just to keep the plant alive and well, to flourish in the environment you provide for them... and that environment is what is going to make some fat nugs (light, temp, airflow, oxygen to roots). I am also one to think a well placed additive to make things happen as well (bushmaster, gravity, potash boost, etc).
You guys are making me blush. I'm glad you had a good time visiting and tasting my strains. I had a real good time visiting as well, even if you are hillbilly trash
lol. I can't wait to chill with everyone of the 600 crew. If only I had a family member that worked for an airline... that would be the life.

Very sound thinking there. I just hit 1300 for the last time. My feeding schedule peaks at week three of flowering and tapers down to 600 when I finish. I think I'll peak out at 1100 for a while and see how that goes. I flushed the last time and won't bother with that again. Why starve your plant when it just wants to live? In my experience, it tastes and burns the same. I'm not a fan of additives, although I'm frequently tempted. Genetics and environment are the key.

I would agree, my plants survive on a low feed of 5-2-4 npk plus micro's throughout most of their life (what the ppms are god knows, I don't do that, but I wouldn't imagine they are high.) I did have a slight bnit of burn when I trf this run but I mixed an extra fertilizer in that I don't think I will bother with again. However, if you use myccorhizae, this should help your plant deal with whatever nutrients you throw at it. My 10 bob.

I don't ever check PPM with the soil, just start out with very low amounts of nutes and slowly increase until I either see signs of burn, at which time I back off with the nutes, or I get to the full strength listed by the manufacturer on the feeding schedule. I have yet to go that high with hydro and they don't need it in most cases.
I like your thinking Jig.
I think I'll try not going full strength in soil with what's the small tent to see what happens. I'll just watch for def signs and go from there since it would be nice to save a little on nutes if I can.

I was discussing it yesterday how I do nutes and I realized I don't use many at all. My weeks (assuming an 8 week flower time) go like this - 700, 800, 900, 900, 250, 250 (using gravity at this time, so using less nutrients), 50, 50 (flush with a couple additives). That get's me my great yeilding, great tasting buds. Why use more nutrients? Another thing I also realized, I've yet to run out of my first gallon bottles of nutrients since I started growing. I've gotten about 40 oz from those bottles. The flower ones still have about 20% left in them... the veg are about 80% full.

I was looking through some of my old pics and came across these. A couple of 600ers were following my journal back then so will remember, most others will have heard about Thelma, but probably never ever seen Louise. Well here they are, the begining...
If anyones interested in more let me know, I also have some post chop of Louie as well. lol

there was sadness indeed T! He, she was strung up by the gonads and left to dry...
It was put into the following run of hash..I guess you could say I smoked a bloke..uw!
However, things got better after that and I had this honey to mess around with, she treated me well sir she did.
BUT I JUST HAD TO CHOP HER DOWN....aaaaagggggghhh.
And that was the start of Thelma the Headband freak that was a twin, but was then something else, and was then a fine lady, not dislike the Ugly Duckling really....lol
Peace,

Do u still have some thelma, would you run it again? it was out of a headband seed right?
DST

Yup, this was from the original set of seeds I got from the bag of weed I bought, this would have been DNA's very first run of Headband. I still have some seeds of Thelma selfed and a few from another HB which seems to have shortened down the flower on the ones I tried. I ran it last time and I am regretting not running it again as the Oscar Headband, is super sticky and thick to smoke, but gets heavily seeded!

I guess I am spoiled living in Texas where it is not what you ride it is the fact that you ride. I hope Colorado is the same.We tend to judge people by their actions.I dont know maybe it has to do with us bikers always being judged by the "regular" folks. Feel sorry for those who only judge a book by it's cover and not taking the time to get to know the true person inside. You know how people tend to judge us smokers......
