Hey bro,
Brown Algae doesnt need light to bloom in your res bro, green & blue algae do though.(just thought id mention it)

Fkin Internet E seems to run better on my machine, pics look better, overall better than Firefox, but Firefox doesnt fk-up like IE does, every bloody time ive tried getting into your thread, i keep getting this 'Operation aborted' box popping up, its been happening alot in the last few months, on a few different threads, but FF doesnt fk up at all, just it looks shit, crappy picture/photos & generally looks blocky as fk compared to IE. Can anyone advise me whats going on.
Been trying since yeasterday to get in to view your thread mate. Looking good, sorry im late!
switch to FF & im straight in! (hope ya dont mind the post mate, frustrated)

Anyway, that Hesi ive heard good things about, but i dont like all the bull on the lable about 13/14 then gives 9/7(PK), wrong ratio imo, id want more K myself, not sure on that one, but a buddy of mine uses the Hesi with good results, just not sure about the 9/7? seems an odd ratio, probably designed to be used with Hesi nutes. Are you using Hesi nute line now mate? Hesi have had my interest for a while, but Maxibloom & other dry nutes & addys have my attention lately, like Bud-Blood, & Big-Bud 0/10/40 etc, im gonna give some dry's a go i think!
Be interesting to see what you think of the stuff(Hesi) mate? How many different PK boosters have you got man lol?

Cheers!

easy scrogger

nah bruv im just using hesi as a guide line ill be using canna pk 13/14 alongside vitalink max and carbo-load

vitalink max contains way to much nitrogen for flowering so ive gotta bring the use of the base nutrient down and increase the p and k im hoping this methid works

an alternative was to use hammerhad in stead of pk 13/14 but the hammerhead is only 4/8
also i have vitalink buddy which again is a pk booster and i might switch the pk 13/14 later on for this

why what you thinking is a good regime?

Hey man, yeah your bang on about the high N in the VitaMbloom, ive even been considering using a straight full spec Micro(with no N) & PK from like wk-6 or so onward upto flush.
I know that idea would work a treat, completely losing the N at that time, but as i aint done that yet i cant offer advice on which micro to go for.
Hammerhead's ratio has been ruined imo, why AN halved its strength says they are only trying to scam people to me, litterally halved its strength, so i was using that at full strength but wasnt so impressed. Im constantly playing with Combo ideas, but your plan sounds cool to me bro! have a look into dry PK boosters like Dr Hornbys BigBud 0/10/40, & like i said earlier Maxibloom has my attention also, alot of dry addys do atm.

not sure about the Dr'h's BB at 0/10/40, its only a couple of year ago i remember seeing it at that ratio, its the same ratio but x10 weaker now it seems at 0/1/4, fkin AN fkin with stuff, they aint dont it to the BudBlood & i wonder why!?
& there new liquid version(with melon head) is 0/1/3 & i hear its not what it used to be/crap. Doc Hornbys BigBud powder is better, & thats the one im gonna try!

& ive just found another one 0/15/40 liquid Dr Hornbys BigBud, its nukin futts mate!

Best o Luck man! Peace!

yeah i think my method should work, obviously my timmings are different cause its an autoflower so ive had to start earleir with the pk installments and ill gradually lower her base nutes and increase her pk

im only using up the last of the vitalink man and then im back onto the canna which i swear is a better nutrient all round, you could just use that as straight veg and bloom feed without any need for any add-ons and its strong stuff so you use it at lower dosages and it lasts longer, with the added benefit of carboload instead of cannaboost i think its the winning formula

as already stated i have 2 plants growing 1 with canna and the other with vita and the structure and sturdyness on the canna plant speaks volumes + canna has the added beneifit of silicon added into its make up

your bang on about hammerhead that formula has been changed so many times and its been made weaker and weaker, i personally think they have just tried to make it into a 1 part bloom feed which i suppose at the rate of 2-4-10 would be ideal as it hardly contains any nitrogen :)

food for thought

They wouldnt be able to get enough Si in the bottle to make it significant with the Canna, its surely trace/micro, i din even know it was in there tbh, i do rate Canna very highly & after what ive recently read about Phosphites from spurs threads, im droppin the Vita myself. PotSil silicon looks good & comes recomended, cheap as chips, Budlink i been using, but it can start to get expensive so im looking at the potsil, check it out bro!

Still sticking with the Ionic for early growth myself, takes some beating that stuff, for that phase anyway.
It outperforms Canna start or any other start product for that imo, its only viable for first 3 weeks though, then ill prolly be back on the Canna myself.

Some buddies of mine are using Ionic bloom(only) all the way through with stagering results, so i might just switch to Ionic bloom after 3 week. Canna or Ionic or the GH Maxi for me, lol one of those 3.
prolly be going Coco on my next run, with Airpots. lovin what im seeing from those.

Cheers bro!

lol so many possible winning formulas but you gotta get the right combo for them to work

potsil is potassium and silicon ??

ive read about silicon producing better structured plants which i can clearly see in the developement of the matro blue so its deefo recommened in a soiless system

both formulex and plant start blew me away at how fast the rooted my plants dont think ive ever seen growth like it pure root explosion but it was combined with rhizotonic, in fact i should get some root porn up to show how lush they are looking

yeah i agree with vitalink mate fuk it off altogether especially the bloom part it aint gonna produce monster buds without some heavy tweaking and by the time you finished tweaking your gonna be using something totally different anyways

cheers scrogger always a pleasure

Yeah buddy, 'Potassium Silicate', as far as i know this xis what peeps refer to as silicon products, Potsil no different, just cheap as & quality stuff from what ive heard. ill be getting some myself, i can vouch for Budlink like, good stuff, mixes clean as! I think the PotSil is more concentrated & half the money, go figure!
the benefits from using added Silicon far outway not using the stuff imo, increased nute uptake, drought tolerance, stress tolerance, infection, diesese, Budrot being the Biggy, a must use addy imo! Just it has to be mixed exactly! not forgetting the extra 'K' boost too. Great stuff bro!

Cheers & G'Luck!

Dude i cannot believe how big that sour60 is, to see it in 70 days or under is going to be a real treat! But as soon as that thing hits full flower, the show is go! :D Well done mate, glad you are witnessing the "power of sour" ;)

yeah she is definatly taking shape now, no 2 ways about that, she is standing @ 30" tall and the buds are just starting to form with the true smell starting to take shape aswell, you can smell the fruitiness starting to come through and mixing in with that dry roasted nuts smell and its producing a nice bubblehum

although that last sour i grew smelt proper fruitty zesty something of a twang about her nothing like this 1's aroma

intresting stuff for sure

Post 88, WOW OMG bro, Is that one VitalinkMax grown-(or Canna)? it does produce great growth, have to admit that, just a shame on the high N(5) content in the Vita=sacked!. Great Root shot too, Shhwinnnggg!!

What was your thoughts on using a full spec Micro&PK(completely lose N about wk 6) in the last week or 2 before flush bro?

Cant see the pics you posted on this page/post #111? Beautifull Sour bro, another monster! lovin it!¬)
