What's new

Anyone tried or heard of "Early Turn" by Extreme Nutrients?

I tried a new addative called "Early Turn" by Extreme Nutrients. You use part A in week 1 of flowering, and then part B in week 2 of flowering.

It says it helps with the stress of transition and helps increase budset and stop the stretch.

I tried it on my OG that is super stretchy. I didn't want to use anyhting with Paclobuzitrol like Bushmaster or Dr. Nodes or Flower Dragon.

For me, so far, it seems the stuff really works. I ran the same two strains before, and noted their development, and the OG was a lot slower to transition and develop than the GDP I run, and with the Early Turn, the OG developed at the same rate as the GDP (I used it only on the OG) and the nugs this run are 3 times the size of the last run.

I just wanted to see if there was anyone else who has tried Early Turn or has any experience with it.

Well Part A is Paclo and Part B is Cycocel.

So your OG got exactly what you were trying to avoid.
 
After seeing how the buds formed on this run, I concluded that this Early Turn must be something similar to Bushmaster, Dr. Nodes, Flower Dragon.

A long time ago I used Flower Dragon, and it caused the nugs to grow differently, more hairy, denser, and the calyxes weren't all swollen and the nugs were rock hard dense.

I haven't used it since, and these OG nugs grew more like the OG that I've seen from others, and since the nugs on this run looked like those from a long time ago, again, I concluded the Early Turn must have some PGR's in it.

This run does look great, but I won't use this again.

Thanks for the replies,

Yep, it is very well known that PGR's do indeed work very well when added in proper amounts and at the proper time.

The test you did here however did not really prove anything one way or another. For a test like this to be accurate you would need to add the other parts of the testing like a "control", ect. ect..Also it is really not the right "type" of test, if you want to know what is in something you have to do a type of chemical analysis to find out.

There are good natural PGR's and then there are some that have been determined to not be so good so to speak. There is also a confusion that happens sometime with Plant Growth Regulators, Plant Growth Retardants, and Plant Growth Stimulators, which all fall under the subject of "PGR's".

With today's nutrient markets and plethora of products and the lack of proper regulation and understanding in general, it is up to the grower to take responsibility in order to make good SAFE decisions on what you should use and what not to use.

Unfortunately lots of times people giving advice on PGR's or nutrient use do not themselves even have a solid understanding and knowledge base, especially with PGR's. The people that work in shops and retail stores seem to know the LEAST out of anyone which is scary! Add myths and bad habits even from seasoned vets and you have made yourself one big tangled noodle ball......

You cant rely on the salesman for help or honesty in most cases as who wants to admit they really do not understand or know about the products they sell?? You cant rely on the label to help you due to the current cluster fuck of state to state label regulations, Oregon is leading the way in making this part better but they cant do it alone and its only one state....you cant rely on even the seasoned pro's as most of them are very set in there ways using methods that have worked for them for many years....who could blame them??

So who does that leave to watch your back and make sure no funny business is going on and your making wise and healthy/safe choices??? <----rhetorical question

Here is a site that classifies plant growth regulators that EVERY grower should REALLY understand to be able to make "logical" assessments and decisions in regards to plant nutrition.

Another good example of confusion is with Amino Acids. There are different type of amino acids and for plants we want the "L-Amino's". The "L" type amino acids indicates that the spin is to the left. The other types cant be used by plants.

You can create "synthetic" amino acids and even hormones as well. The problem with this is, that even though they spin to the left and are the right kind, and the plant can uptake them, they just kinda sit there and do not do anything (not very bio-active). A formula containing synthetic amino's will not benefit the plant like organic amino acids will as they are very "bio-active" unlike the synthetic counterfeits.

Amino Acids are the building blocks and what makes up a "Protein".

Got the whole lineup minus the Samurai PK in 1 liter bottles from my local hydro guy. Said they were just sent to him and he didn't know where they were from. After some reading, followed by some searching, the only products I will "test" in my garden is the Cobra(Beneficial's and Fungi) and Xtreme Juice(Microbes). Maybe the Root Tonic but I'm still on the fence about that one, anyone here have any experience with it in particular? The Samurai PK looks interesting but ironically, its the only thing not included, go figure.
