Yeah. Everyone says start with 1/4 normal dosage, but my plants have not burned in the slightest going by the exact schedule. That's possibly why people seem to like the FF so much. Also, even though my new seedlings were 12/12 from seed, I chose to give them a blast of the last vegetative nutes. Don't mix up a full gallon for that, though. Just watch for N deficiency. It'll turn your bottom leaves almost white overnight. You'll know if you've got N deficiency.
Also, BTK.. I put up pics special for you in my grow today. There's 2 days new growth I thought you should see on Top44 #1 since my clippage. I'm not trying to convince you. I'm trying to just show my experience in case you choose to somehow expose your undergrowth. Have you seen any rubber band or paper clip examples yet? There are a few pics in the FAQs, if I recall correctly and believe me.. they seem to work, too. I chose my method because of a rubbermaid grow by fishindog. He was a cliping maniac! If you want to see his results, search forums for fishindog rubbermaid. It's a re-veg on 3 free female plants. Even better, he just expanded to a cabinet and is doing a re-re-veg of the same 3 plants by request!
Also because he didn't take clones before..
