@Interalia666, I fear this annoyance will go on 😕 Keep in mind that so far only a tiny minority of 95% of humankind have agreed on using the science based metric system...

@Buddha2, it would be nice to grow a 'Humbolt tree' with 4kg but first I would need to pursuade the local law enforcement not to lock me up! For the record, you can see above that when I record the wet/dry weight in ounces, GD does the weight per plant calculation in grams!, when I record the wet/dry weight in grams, GD does the weight per plant calculation in ounces ! Go figure!

@Interalia666, same here, but I understand that 4kg might scare people 😃

@Interalia666, Hi ive answered already but my post is lost anywhere. I absolutey understand and agree what you said to keep it simple. Iwas growing until begin of ths year with only a 23 products ive bought, Azospirillium ( or a growing fertiliser) and a blooming fertiliser. I made alot of stuff diy ( look diary the big gren ones")... then i met the CEO of GreenBuzz Liquis and tsted their Productline. In fact its A growing , a blooming , and a booster nutrient... all the other "bottles" are benefical stuff , through your grow. the schedule is very easy. And you can follw it trustful with photoperiods ( the automatic plants gt less) In every stage you have beneficals that improve your growth. So i " Mutated" from a growr who used nearly to nothing to now using the whole range.....and i can say the plants // harvests changed, Changed massively. I was not bad with my benefica stuff... and iam sure i would still use it if i havent met the Green Buzz Liquids Guy. So iam sure you can create your own nutrients and boosters. Look into "The Weed Mans" Diary he posted alot of reciepes for making your own stuff, same to bossanovas goldcup winning Diary .... ( All those diarys you find in diary of the year) those are very recommendable Mammoth::::::::: you can have that much cheaper.. look for " effektive Microorganismen" those little ones improve the Microbacterial life in the soil..........you can make your own stuff too here and wayyy cheaper. for more infos just get me per PM Look on google for Bokashi Diy... or effective microorganismns

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks for the support and advice throughout. No, not yet decided on a late flower booster, TBH don't really know what would compliment what I currently use without creating Nute burn from P & K accumulative overload. Lots of choice but wary of just slick marketing BS. I have a KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) approach to growing so don't want a long complicated list of nutes. I also want to keep it organic. I do like the sound of Mammoth P which is a microbial inoculant that helps to unlock P and micronutrients to maximize bud grow as you know, but is it prohibitively expensive so that's out. Not very well educated as to late flower nute requirments so not sure whther I should be looking at something like an enzyme based supplement to help stimulate the microbiology and concomitantly, nutrient uptake or something that delivers industrial quantities of chelated P & K .................or both!

@Interalia666, if she’s going for another 2-3 weeks, I would suggest to do another round of topping perhaps.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, cheers mate, probably could have got to this in 5-6 weeks with a little more effort but is growing alongside autos at the moment so happy to let it veg until the autos are done (about 2-3 weeks now) and then onto flowering.

@Mrs_Larimar, Not to worry, house fine, grow fine (good electrical planning!), plant happy, other than a nitrogen pull from the leaves as we get towards harvest. Thanks for asking though 👍

@Stick, thanks mate and very true, we are all slaves to the genes and this little monster is like Captain Scarlett (you need to be a certain age to get the reference!) I usually do a little light lollipoping just before I flip to flower and then again at about week 2-3 of flower. I used to be in the camp that removed shading leaves, etc but recently I have listened to a lot of Phd plant biologists who are starting to completely change many of the growing conventions that I thought were correct (and have served me well). Will definately run a few experiments next grow (Royal Moby) and get them up on here for the greenthumbs to consider. I have a good supply of 1.5 meter stakes and will be staking this plant extensively when the colas stems start to grow up to keep good seperation, light penetration and help RH. I think this should take care of a lot of the issues alongside getting rid of any minor bud sights or side branching that will not produce quality bud. Will be posting regularly so sing out if you see anything bad/wrong/could do better. Cheers

@@Athos, it is quite a contentious subject amongst growers as we get more and more Phd science based people involved in the legal production of cannabis, they are quite a revelation when it comes to explaining plant biology and processes at a molecular level. One Phd whose opinion I respect says get rid of nodes not leaves; plants do not store nutrients in leaves, thats not how leaves work; Buds do not need direct light (they grow due to the photsynthic process of the leaves converting light into energy to metabolise), flushing is not needed and quite a few other things which go against the grain of OG growers experience. When he unpicks all the science, it is very hard to argue with him. I will try and post his explantion (I heard it on a podcast) on here. Personally, I flush and do a bit of light lollipoping for the larfy stuff at the end of veg. I do however, have an open mind as there are millions of ways to sucessfully grow these plants and I am always open to new ideas. I have a Royal Moby grow next up so I will go for a comparison defoliating v not defoliating which might be quite intersting to see how they perform?
