i'm currently running gh 2 part 6/9 in coco

on weeks 2-8/9 i'm adding 5ml per gal of gh floranectar only 1/2 of what it says on the label should i be putting more?

on weeks 2-4 i'm adding an liquid big bud at 7.5ml per gal (recommended on label)

on weeks 5-7 i'm adding super natural bud blaster at 1tsp per 5 gallons (recommended on label)

i use dyno-gro protekt silica as a pH up during late veg and flowering

i'm using ro water drip to waste irrigation

that is my basic feed schedule, i'm adding more micro+bloom during peak flowering with a nute calculator same 6/9 ratio.

i was wondering if its possible to get decently dense flowers without the use of humbolt gravity, as gravity is basically kelp and potash, or does the kelp give it that rock hard density that adds on to dried weight?

also i was wondering if i cut micro after stretch (week 5-6) should i be adding way more bloom or does 20ml per gal cut it with the additives ? i see h3ad uses 10ml, but i'm getting no signs of burning at 20ml, but since i dont have the micro in my ec is really really low.

any help/constructive critizism is appreciated thanks.

Let me give you a good piece of advice.... Nute manufacture feeding directions never have worked for me. Usually I burn the hell out of the ladies but some recommendations are better then others. To get those rock hard nuggets you need good light penetration....

poppin' outta control
CO2 and COLD TEMPERATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!! and adv nutes bud candy... also trim off everything not getting light, only grow out tops/ let stretch grow out so all bud production goes into top buds

1000w hps, gdp 8 weeks, letting it go for 9 weeks, i am scrogging and trimming *most* of the bottom branches. i was also wondering should i be easily hitting over a lb per light?

you need

-super blaster
-bud-licious
-bud-normus booster
-cherry bomb baked explosion


no, not really

weight depends on so many factors I couldn't even start, ok. humidity, lighting, lighting placement, pot size, veg time, training methods, temps, night temps, Co2 levels, media, watering skill, additives ( hormones, auxins... ) ............. ..... AKA , grower skill / knowledge of plant / master of there environment

here's a place to start.. simple as possible. then work your way in adding something every grow or every other grow to see if it changes your plant and has a positive effect or a negative one..

also, something I've ever learned, never ever add two boosters, or mix a companies additives / boosters unless you know full well what is in the product and have a understanding how it can / will / would affect your plant... more is not always better


for people who don't care about going through all the steps to learn how to maximize there plant.. more light

Light is definately the main factor...my 1k nugs are much larger and denser than any 150w, 400w, or even 600w ive grown with.....with my 600s i get nice top colas but alot of airy nugs below teh canopy..


also...high humidity and heat make your buds airy. so drop those temps down to the 70s and keep that humidity around 40...

Thank you allNsorry I didn't make my first post more through but I'm using 2 gal pots with 16 under a 1000w on a 4x4 tray, my temps never hit above 75 The humitiy is about 50 I'm topping then scroggig vegging for 2 1/2 weeks with GDP (90% indica 8 week ) strain using canna coco as medium and flooding 2x a day for 15 minutes during peak flower let me know if there is anymore info I need to fill in on that maybe can help you give me more insight on my grow to maximize my yield and quality thanks a bunch

agreed, but sounds more like it could be bad cut the gdp supposed to be a good yeilder.
it sounds like your enviorments pretty dialed in but it may take multiple runs to get a strain dialed in

gdp under 1ks you need not worry about density...just don't fukc it up and she'll grow slingshot ammo.

keep it simple, don't mess with gravity or any of the other fancy shit. your base nutes are great, supplement with a basic pk boost and you'll do fine as long as you keep your ec in range throughout the grow.

1p is easily doable.. proper feeding and spacing under the light is most important. the overpriced shit in a bottle has the least affect on yeild.
