I'd like to title this Diary entry Screw You Advanced Nutrients. 7th week done.. 3 weeksish left on the Lsd-25 and 4 weeksish on the purple Lemonade.. Gonna be some chunky mothers.
Purple coming up everywhere, pretty colours. Oh yes we are very pleased so end of 7th week for these ladies and stretching has stopped thank goodness and we are now into bud building/mass building. The two lsd-25 plants definitely went into full flower "mode" sooner. The Colorful lady seems to have benn mass building all week. Probably gonna have different harvest windows on these ladies. Was hoping for same time but it's okay we are creative and will figure a way ahead. There is some CO2 being fed in the tent. With a smaller co2 bucket.
We will be trying out a new one for us and it is a product called dense from green planet. We will using dense when the regular reservoir change is suppose to happen. Before we feed only Dense we will be prepping the ladies with an extra feeding of GP3 micro. Buffering the leaves and prepping the uptake for the feeding. So with dense there will be only a feed of Dense with UC roots and ph down. The formula of dense is 0-0-62 so this is a very concentrated Potash supplement. We will be using 1/2 recommended doses as per our system and it's requirements. This will run for 4-5 days and significantly increase the Amount of Potash in the Plant fear not.. The next 2-3 days will run with just phed water then onto P-k spiking with Bloom Booster alone. At this stage Massive Bloom formulation would be great as well but we wanna cut out our nitros while still have some micros.. So we will feed smaller amounts of GP3 Micro with Powdered bloom booster, rezin and liquid weight. Right up until we do a 3 day flush before harvest.
Nutrients and Light is the idea so we will see turn outs and everything. If you are wondering what is the difference between the plants and the lady on the left looks so burnt. Left side only fed Flora Series w/ Advanced Nutrients supplements the plants on the right side is fed only Flora Series with Green planet supplements.
The nutrient formulas provided in this diary are for right plants only. We can not express the amount of disgust we feel towards Advanced Nutrients as we spent good money on their product and feel genuinely ripped off. The words smelly disgusting mess describe what happened when we added big bud to left side. Bottle smells fine but the Formula is obviously way off as we did not have issues like this when using it the first dozen or so times. We will be using chemical nutrients and powders for life now and will not use Advanced Nutrients again or recommend it for anyone. The Organic Big Bud Formula is no good for hydroponic growing and they obviously rushed it to market to make money.....
We really wanted to finish with Advanced Nutrients being the supplement on the left side but we can not. The product itself has basically made it impossible to continue confidently using any Advanced Nutrients labeled as both Organic and Safe for hydroponics. The proof is in the pudding and so glad and happy really now that we are using Green Planet and continue on this trend of cleaner greener growing and a more intelligent approach.
On a further note just to go a bit further Bud Candy for example contains sugars that are basically present in Black Molasses. So what they've basically done is filtered and bleached Black Molasses and watered it down and are selling it to us at around 40 bucks a litre. Bunch of crooks Screw you Advanced Nutrients.
Why are you guys spreading misinformation?? Telling people using hydroponics to feed right away. From Green Planet Nutrients and my own experience you are wrong. And now you know... https://www.greenplanetnutrients.com/faq/
@ HarbingerofHarvest I totally agree with you about the fertilizer on Hydro. I grow on Aero and I know all the initial problems :-) but you learn from mistakes, and if the genetic is still fairly new, you will know it by heart after a while ๐๐ฑ๐
Greetings from Russia! Your plants look great! Keep developing in the same spirit! If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diary
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics ๐
Let us know if you need any assistance, weโre more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! ๐ฑโ๏ธ๐ด๐๐ฟ๐ณ
@I_and_I, Explosive Growing is a great way to describe autos.. Looking at somewhere around 10-11 weeks from Seed to Harvest. The really killer part is we already got some really nice flower formations going and pretty sure it's gonna be a really nice pull. I'm in Auto-Love. I love my photo plants but this is just too fast and next time I'll just run 2 auto flowers in here. But yes my small tent is now a dedicated Autoflower making machine ha ha ha.
Looking awesome growmie ๐๐๐ช
One of those LSDs looks like it might be a stretcher, other one looks compact
Oooft that hash? Or extract looks sickkk
@Jef79, Thank you very much sir. But There's a lot of Nitro Curling on the Buds.. It's deceptively more nicely looking then it actually is. Very cool to grows autos. They really do grow differently. Probably not going to be the cleanest buds honestly looks good but it'll taste meh.. Learning is fun but plants don't really allow a whole lot of wiggle room.
One always needs their bullshit detector going when checking out cannabis nutrient marketing. And, yes, molasses are a pretty great thing to use, and so are Epsom salts (Ca, Mg, S), dolomitic lime (Ca, Mg) and other things that are cheap and easy to use, especially in soils.
@Northern_Ent, I would totally agree with that for soil. I have some diatomaceous earth and use a powdered bloom formula. Might feed some minor amounts of nitro based chemicals with micro nutrients in soil but very little. And only if the lady will tell me if she uses up the available nitro in the soil or has deficiency. With Hydroponics though I like the idea of water ready nutrients because of the intake of the plants and the idea of balance. Green Planet makes it easy and is a nice solution. $260 Cad for basically a 2 year supply of base nutrients and supplements w/ 2 types of bloom boosters. for my 6-8 plants every 3-4 months and I don't have to do to much work other then balance the 3 part and not going to heavy. I think if I hadn't found Green Planet and kept using Advanced or some of the others not to named. I would be very unhappy... I was too begin with I mean I saw performance from my garden but couldn't help but wonder if "all the stuff" realty helped as was worth 1 litre for $40 dollars.. It's literally snake oil salesmen with a lot of nutrient companies. But with Green Planet Nutrients.. No tip burn even with just from the supplements still Chemical based nutrients and Flora Trio. Or very little tip burn like on 2-3 plants per plant. It's weird it's like I was living in this weird Cannabis Hobby Grower world and absorbing all this information and it was quite overwhelming really. But as it started to come together.. It was like EUREKA we as a community have been RIPPED OFF for the last 20-30 years by Advanced Nutrients and various others. I'm not a fan boy I just actually care about people and don't want others to overpay for what is in performance and in practice a bad product. Fancy names and cool pictures shouldn't sell nutrients but they do.
nice purple buds, thx for the answer about crossing lol that was exactly what i was thinking ill just let the blackberry polinate herself and use that seeds, whats the difference between LSD 25 and blackberry looks the same ๐
@Reaper, Cletus grew into a good man and after he cheated on his wife with his sister he found himself. Now he treats his Cousin like the honourable woman she is ha ha ha. From what I understand of selective breeding the dominant traits are selected so the biggest fattest ladies would be the ones you want to breed again. Also maybe if you had one that was particularly sweet you'd wanna try and keep that around... I think that's part of the whole issue for a lot of hobby guys is it just takes time to do properly and to find the traits your looking for. Definitely need a few grow spaces.
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, i made a few crosses also by accident (hermies) my experience is that all BUD from both plants smelled and tasted/effect were all similar.. there were just different sizes in plants. like these people who make 20kids and call them cletus
@Reaper, lol who knows right?? Without directly comparing Parentage it's hard to tell.. I found when I grew a GG X Zkittlez and a GDP. They both had a very similar smell and taste even tho they only share one common parent Grape Ape. I mean either way.. Crossing and pollinating is going to get you familiar with what's actually happening and you get to see the results. Might get some really cool and interesting crosses.
