Growing Information

A little Information.

Abscisic Acid (ABA)
Hormone, helps with plant stress, drought, cold temps.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Thought to build tighter, heavier buds, and act as an anti-oxidant

Salicylic Acid (Aspirin)
Willow bath blocks (ABA) use as a spray, soak, rooting bath.

Auxins
Responsible for elongation, pinching off will reduce Auxin levels.

Folic Acid B-9
Inhibits gibberellic Acid, Bush, Dwarf with out pruning. Apply as a spray or soil drench.

Isopentyl Adenine (IPA)
Manufactured as Benzylaminopurine (BAP)
Rush Foliar, XCell Veg, XCell Bloom

Sugar Molasses
Said to be the "Secret Ingredient" in many organic fertilizers. Adding the last 6 weeks is said to give a 20% increase in yield.

Trichoderma (002/003)
Fungi that live in soil. Help promote stronger, vibrant plants.
Canna Trichoderma is an example.

Colchine
Causes a Polyploidy condition in Cannabis plants. May show increased canabinoid content. Triploid, Tctraploid, Tetraploid.

-----------FOLIAR---------------

Stomata-Close
To much Co2
Low Humidity
Dry Root System

Stomata-Open
High Light
Low Co2
High Humidity

When to Foliar Feed
Around 20 minutes after the light have come on. The plants Stomata should be open.

Wetting Agents - Surfactants (Adjuvant)
They break the surface tension of the water/Foliar solution.

Wetting agent (Spreaders) Non-Ionic used the most
Earth Juice Assist- Natural wetting agent
Antionic- Not used much
Cationic- Not used much
Extenders (Stabilizing agents)
Biodegradable Surfactants- disperse the fastest.
Silicone Surfactants- Are also mild insecticides.

------Plant Problems--------

Mobile Elements- Affect older leaves to new growth.

Nitrogen- Macro/Mobile Element
Deficient- Lower to middle plant working up.
Green top/Yellow bottom
Extreme Case/Purple leaves with Yellowing starting at tips working back.
Nitrogen Toxicity-
Dark Green Leaves, Delayed maturity, Tall plants, weak stems, lively new growth, high transpiration rate.

Phosphorus Macro/Mobile Element
Deficient- Reduces size, slows growth in leaves that may or may not fall off.
Edges of leaf brownish, cause edges to curl up-ward, dark green, purple, yellow tones with blue color to them, Stems sometimes red, red petiole.
50-F hard to absorb (P)
Toxicity-
Locked out pH, Cold wet soil, Acid/Alkaline soils, compact soils.

I know you stated "said to give 20% increase in yield." But I can assure you that molasses does not give anything to the yield. Sure its good for creating microorganisms to help the roots, but it won't help out the yield. And the relation that people say it helps the taste from that of synthetic fertilizers is tenuous at best.

WHOA there Top! COLCHINE is poisonous !!!!
If you treat a plant with colchine you should not consume the treated plant! You need to seed the plant and grow out the offspring and consume them!!!!
REPEAT, DO NOT consume colchine treated plants! Only the following offspring!!! I don't know for sure the residual systemic amounts for clones. But I would venture to say that it maybe best to not consume till you've cloned a clone...Simply sharing info,,,not diss'in your post (Nice).....Man.

Fu-king. The use of molasses will help increase the bio's in the soil (thus if your using a synthetic. The increase in the soils living things increase the conversion of any non plant useable compounds left by the synth use, to useable compounds. This DOES tend to increase yields around 20%) and include usable carbs to aid in the late flowering stage. I do believe that it's use does improve the flavors and scents. I know, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

Another fine indication that a high post count here at RIU. don't mean that the OP knows shit, ......................anyone can copy and paste!

I disagree Vos. Top has been around a long time and gives quality help (that's what he's doing with this post). To dis someone by opinion is not fair! I might be cautious about saying those things with just over a year under your belt with those #'s you have too. I'm NOT taking a poke at you, only pointing out that you can attract more fly's with sugar then with vinegar!
Sorry if I offend.

Hey "Fuck You". I hardly make any fucking new post.
You talk about post count, your post in the topic was nothing more than being a post whore yourself
nothing constructive to your post, except to bash the OP.
If you don't have anything constructive to say then "go fuck your self". Be an asshole some place else.

Alright, I am just going to give my opinion for the hell of it.

Topfuel is legit, he knows what he talking about IMO. He regularly points out deficiencies and problems in pictures/threads that I miss. I think the post was helpful and don't care if it was pasted.

I also think vostok knows his shit, but tends to be a bit antagonistic as a result. I can sometimes be the same way when I know I am right and bad advice is being given.

Bad advice is not the case here IMO. It's just an informational post.

Agian, just throwing my hat in the ring for the hell of it.

Peace,
Cascadian
