Side-by-Side GDP: Fox Farms vs. Advanced

AN is Advanced Nutrients and FF is Fox Farms. GDP1 is running only AN while GDP2 is running Fox Farms.

Yeah I know that one experiment with only two test subjects isn't really the greatest experiment but it's honestly not even close any more. The FF plant is super miniaturized and growing extremely slowly.

FFS ... men it sux .... I feel very sorry for you bro.... bloody spider mites 😔 I suggest you Sierra Natural Science SNS 217 for those bloody mites. You shall wait 9 days before starting a new crop. They reproduce every 3 days.

I've had some problems here and there but can you be more specific? What makes them awful to you?

Yeah I'm so impressed with this plant that I took clones just in case she is purple. I love how she grows, no nutrient problems, huge root ball and she drinks like a champion. About a gallon a day in veg! All that combined with the purple pheno and I will keep a mother of this girl maybe for a breeding project.

Thanks for the advice man I will check that out!

Grimbol, whats up with your roots at week 8?? you should have roots like that by week 2 or 3, by week 8 you should almost fill a 5 gal bucket or more... are those roots pics from week 8 or am i looking at it wrong? im on my 3rd grow, and i had roots like that too, and every one died in week 2 flower! not trying to rain on your day :)

ı hate this seedbank

Nice shaping bro 👍

She hates FF, curious to see how it will reflect on harvest! Both look very good and healthy despite the size difference!

curious about its purple buds mate! when do you think for switch 12/12?

im confused. you know these plants thrive in the outdoors right? seems crazy to worry so much about bugs when they grow so good in the ground under the sun. i guess the problem is not that you have bad bugs in there but you dont have the good bugs which would normally keep the bad ones under control.

excellent work bro

Looks like FF is winning 😄

How can the diference be so brutal... I'm perplex by your test...

You are an artist, aggressive on GDP2 ? 10 hours later she was ok 😄👍 When I touch my plants they need 1 week to recover from stress , I wish I could be aggressive like you are bro !

I really love main-lining... good luck on your growing bro!

Good

Shame...Little can be done when in flower (Other than Molasses feeding)....However while in Veg it is possible to rid yourself of mites with a thorough regime of spraying every 4 days or so for 4 wks is sufficient with an Organic Fatty Acid Soap Based Spray onto the leaves top and underside especially...before returning plants to the grow room which you have sterilised with strong detergents. It is essential to repeat this process several times until all existing adults have been eradicated along with all eggs which have been laid upon the undersides of the leaves have hatched out and those too eradicated. Also apparently increasing the Brix levels within the leaves by feeding with Vinasse or Molasses will make you Plants less appealing to sucking insects ..google it As stated a decision was made and More seeds can be started soon...No Regrets and Cleanliness is Next to Godliness...Never use anything from the back garden indoors not even a pot etc. belive me I know I have had Mites, Fungus Gnats and even Caterpillars chewing My leaves after a Moth got into My Tent unnoticed one night. You seem to have a good idea of what needs doing as well as some good cleaning of the general area where the tent was positioned within the house

My condolences! If it's any consolation, I gave you one of my 3 votes because this is an awesome, well recorded diary, and has a lot of value because you experimented, took risks, learned some new things and shared it honestly and with humility with us. I'm looking forward to your next endeavor. I had those f'rs in Lilliput bud land. (We fae are little so we're pleased even with the small dank bud Jah has provided). I appreciate your words about providing good medicine and knowing what I now know, people put a lot trust into the folk who cultivate their meds.
