I popped those other beans that I told you about.. All of the HSH are doing great but my SB seedling died for some reason. A dud I'm guessing.
My auto's were doing really shitty til I started with the foliar feedings. Its only been like a week or two and they've doubled in size. I'm not going to get a huge yield off of them but will definitely get a lil more now.
I've always thought that foliar feedings were bs til I saw your results. Must be a regional thing because all of the old timers around here are totally against it.

I'm assuming you're in West Virginia. You get that stifling humidity. You can foliar feed during veg, but stop once buds begin to form. In high humidity areas, do your spraying at sunrise so they dry by midday. Spraying during high temps can cause some leaf burning from lensing. Spraying late in the day can encourage mold. But done correctly, it can REALLY increase your yield. I like to use small amounts of some or all of these products. Fish and seaweed emulsions, Super Thrive, Epsom Salts, a product designed to encourage bacterial action, a pinch of sulfate of ammonia. Use SMALL amounts. Hose your girls off a couple days after application, then do it again a few days later. If liquid Ironite is available in your area, it is a great product.

How often was going to be my next question. Thanks for the info.. I've been doing it weekly but haven't had to hose them down because of the rain we've had. It hasn't been too humid this season until the past few days or so. I've never had a mold problem before (I better knock on wood!) but then again I guess there is a first time for everything.

It's important to know when flowering start, so you can know the sex of the plants asap, before seeds damage the females..

And how to feed them ofcourse.. if you're using liquids that is

They are photo not auto so if I'm informed correctly they will begin to flower as my daylight shortens not based on age.

As far as nutes on the outdoor I'm using what I have laying around and what I can afford so I'm not to dialed in and hoping the ground will be forgiving. Just trying to learn how to listen to the plant and let it tell me what it needs

I would say so (:

You want big wide bushes. Its the way to go in my opinion. Many RIU growers like other yield increasing techniques; bending, LST, FIM, pinch topping etc...
good luck on your adventures.

I'm not familiar what's RIU?
Thanks boss! And I hope your journey treats you just as well
