For flowering it is advisable to discontinue superthrive......really it is just a vitamin-B supplement with some Gibberellic Acid thrown in......some plants sensitive to the hormones in there could throw bananas and spurt some pollen.....it might not happen, but i've had a lot of conversations with people over the years about this issue and the consensus is to discontinue superthrive during flowering.....

Don't know very much about the foxfarm bloom enhancers......don't be afraid to check out some other products and do your research (search IC threads).....

Awesome grow!!!! You are doing a fantastic job......lord we all know it is a lotowork!!!! Its like a full time job times 2.....

Keep Dope Alive!!!!

Superthrive and taking clones.

Superthrive and taking clones.

Thanks Guinea . I actually read that yesterday in Ed Rosenthal's High Yield indoor guide. Superthrive should not be used during flowering. It did seem to help with repairing my yellow plants as well as doing a flush and raising the lights. I am two weeks into flowering and the white little flower hairs are starting to appear. Called a calyx? Anyway I plan on flushing the reservoirs and putting fresh water and nutes in sometime. First I am gonna go to the grow shop or online and look at general hydroponics feed scherule. This next week I am going camping to give the garden some space. Sick of building shit. Anyone have a tip on draining the rez at a certain time and what I should do to enhance the crop over the next 5-6- weeks? For enhancers I have two brands of cha ching. One is open sesame and one is for after that forgot the name but I also used just a bit of that in both tanks to experiment a little and they seemed to help but I am gonna do the draining like I said. Any suggestions????

PS: My tip of the day is to never take clones that look like the ones below. I said fuck it when I was taking them but they should have been way more trimmed before they went in that rockwool.Take off most lower growth and trim the fan leaves back as they really weigh the clone down. Also if you live in humid temps or have a hot room do not use a heating pad. I lost 10 percent to those mistakes. Really only second time taking a lot oh clones but now I have the method down pat.





Step 1 : You have to have equity in the weed game. That means have some mother plants like in the room below. If you are a beginner with under a year experience like me then don't fuck with small shitty bonsai mothers unless your real patient like 60 days for a useful plant patient. It will lead to frustration. Have big 6 week vegged mothers. Also when soaking rockwool use the instructions on the package. Follow the directions.

Step 2 : Take the cuttings and then dip them and put them in the one inch rockwool. Only take the excess water out of the rockwool with a salad spinner or as like Al B. Fuct says think damp not soaked rockwool.

Step 3 : Put them in a slotted flowering thing as shown in pic and then put them in a dome for 10 days near as in a foot under a shop florescent.After 7 or eight days they will become the shape of the dome. It is a satisfying phenomenon. They only need to know it is daytime so don't go off with the lighting. After like 7 or 8 days give them some air by opening the slots above a little.

Step 4 : Do not forget the NO WILT. It is a must to hold the moisture in. Spray the cuttings after cutting and planting in the wool, spray the dome two or three times before intially putting the dome on.

Step 5 : It was joy and pain learning this.Take 30 percent more than needed. Extra plants always come in handy. Just keep the dome on for as long as you can for 10 days.Even longer may not hurt depending on your circumstance. Keep a couple empty rockwools in the flower tray so you can pull those up to check to see how much water is being evaporated every other day. If they need perking lift the dome and check the empty rockwools and water and no wilt accordingly. Go to the growshop and get two 10 dollar water pressure spray thingys and get a clone nutrient. That will help. When you go lifting the dome all the time thats when they get uprooted and stuff. If they are all standing straight on day 10 then why even take the dome off? Check for full roots on day 14 through day 25. Just keep the dome on and you'll be fine. I thing the right temp is like 70, 85 or higher kill. Another tip I learned on this site is to use take a metal pan fill it with water and a 4 inch oxygen stone and then cover with tinfoil with holes. Put the clones in 1/2 inch to an inch and then wait a week. Quick way to preserve genetics.

Peace

What I have done recently is installed an 8 inch vortex fan to suck the air out of the room into the attic. The smell is not bad because earlier I added goknats to combat a small bug problem and that shit has a funky smell like mint or some shit. It was never a bug problem though it was stagnant air, lost two plants to it but everything else is fuckin A.....

Installing an 8 inch vortex fan for a reg bedroom say 12X12 to suck air out of your room is highly recommended. It will then suck fresh air into the room from cracks like the crack under the door. It costs 180.00 and is really worth it.

Pics to follow.
