Slap dem bitches around a bit too, dey likes dat yah sah!

jack's soil grow said:

topping once and selective defoliate gives you a lot more than 4 main bud sites, I can pull 11 main bud sites on a small plant without trying haha

And have less overall yield. Yay for you

leaves block the light, remove or cut the ones covering the nodes upto the 2 week in flower

well if that impresses you then nothing else needs to be stated

The reason I wasn't worried about it staying green vs stretch is because I agreed that it would stay green. My plant leaves are green till harvest.
I understand you really want to find fault in me, but don't rush to false judgements too quick. I'm not the bloom foods lover you describe, and btw Dyna-Gro Foilage-Pro is something I use until a week before harvest. Don't speak of what you don't know. It only makes you look a fool.

can you eplain your process of aplying the dyna-gro... like trying to miss buds or do just spray? trying to keep my damn leaves green too! ( i kno unk leave the cannabis specific nutes alone)

simply use the Foliage Pro or Grow throughout the grow....one needs to keep the N content to keep 'em green. PHOSPHOROUS is the macro element the plants need the least when grown in containers...hell one needs more Cal than P for cannabis especially in flower

Dont know about PJ but I do not foliar spray...rain doesn't have fertilizer in it does it?

thanks for comment. the reason i was asking him was because HE does foliar spray thru out grow. and his plant look awesome. 10 times better than mine. i also dont foliar spray..... so me being quite intelligent, i would like a tip from him and until i see a pic from you i would love to hear HIS answer on the subject. but once again thanks anyway

Rain does have some atmospheric nitrogen

That is a nice fat plant I know all the plants you have never posted pictures of are all ten pound monster some of us are happy with 10-16 OZ plants

I wonder if at one time there was nutriens in our atmosphere? volcano ash? etc.

Or are we cruel to the plant, they do absorb a lot of other things that aren't good for them. radiation fall out they handle like a champ.

Jacks plant looked like about 3 oz's

lol...HB and I are friends dude...was not inferring any bad connotations

and here you go...4 plants at 3 days flower

I bet there are nutrients in rainwater more then the nitrogen which is the most abundant gas like you said there is ash from volcanoes and forest fires along with a lot of dirt the wind sweeps up. You can fill a clean bucket with rainwater and it will have a yellow tinge to it.

mostly livestock and human waste is what your seeing Bud Brewer, lol.

They enjoy that h2o most of all, that is the main indgredient of a misting solutions after all.

now yes they do like a little shower of WATER and do not think I do not know there are many benefits for foliar application of nutrients...I was merely pointing out that you can keep them green until the end WITHOUT foliar feeding by applying N and not applying high P...IOW that foliar isn't required for the green to the end outcome

Haha, these guys might need the help of a 10% solution.

a purist, I can dig it Kite high.

I usually only foliar spray with liquid karma, and don't spray with anything after week 4 of flower. I also follow with a water only spray a few days later if past week 2. Best to spray the bottom of the leaf because as UB points out stomata are on the bottom of the leaf and that's what absorbs the nutes.

I agree largely with Kite High, and IMO he's one of the best growers on this site. I use Foliage-Pro as part of my nutes all the way through, but I also combine with PureBlend Pro Bloom and Instant Kharma because I like a rounded mix of nutes from different sources, and those two also include yummy things like folic acid. The other supplement I include is Pro-Tekt from DG, which I've discovered helps a lot when growing in an inert medium.

In general if your gonna foliar feed do it at half a strength or less of what you would feed the roots.
