Nice mainline! Your plants always look nice so I'd like to ask ya a question? I read in another one of your posts about your soil mix and it seems to be a nice soil, but you also have quite a lineup in bottled nutes that you also deliver; seems like the cost would pile up. I'd like to ask if you feel like your soil mix is lacking, do you feel your plants get hungry easily? Basically, what are your ideas on soil health?

@FoTwenny, sounds awesome. Love to hear it. I've used soil for years, but I've been wanting to do side by sides on some of the cuts I've kept for ages for exactly the same reasons. Just last night I almost bought these different packs of nutes to do a bubble bucket run comparing the lines. Decided I should wait til I move into my new house in Nov before I start anything new though... I'll throw my two cents what I've done in the past: shorter veg is better for yield if you fill the space with more plants. Did some training experiments in a 4x4 a while ago. Pure numbers in a sea of green was the best. 25 plants in 1.5 gallon pots, vegged for 3 weeks, flowered for 8. Harvested 47oz(1.3kg) in 11 weeks. No real training, just lots of cloning.

@ZalySk, The soil is good probably good for 2-4 weeks without much nutes. Once I introduce nutes, I never use more than half strength, and often go quarter strength. I try to read my plants and adjust accordingly. I have tried other nutes in the past, supersoil mixes, but have had my best results with this line. Since I am using the full line of nutes, the doses are much smaller than the bottles recommend and I buy by the gallon of nutes used in higher volumes and they last quite a while. Eventually, I would like to do some side by side experimentation to compare nutrient lines. Once I can upgrade my grow location and have the space, I'd also like to experiment with different pruning techniques performed on multiple cuttings from the same mother and see which averages the most yield per day. I am curious to see if taking longer to veg equates to a larger yield per day. I read a lot of stuff other growers have done, but I want to have everything controlled running the same. Then I will duplicate the experiments with other strains to see if those results were strain dependant or if there is a common trend regardless of strain. I am still newer at growing on this level, and still have a lot to learn.

I am growing Blue Dream too and it is a BEAST! I am trying to figure out how to train her...check out my diary and let me know what you think. Only going into week 2 of Veg for it.

@greenflipcali89, LST/Tie and tie her down. You could super-crop by pinching stems or top the plant. If she's too bushy, may need to open her up with pruning. Good luck and happy growing!
