Has anyone used Botanicare with hempys? I imagine there may be info in this thread some place, but after reading some 35 pages in a 200+ page thread, I realized I might not find it til 2015. If at allSo if anyone has done it, I would like to hear about it.. Thanks!
Use the search feature bro. U can search this thread with keywords ..and u should be able find what ur looking for if its there. I have no experience with it.
just moved my WWxBB to jars. 45g total from that one plant. I know I already chopped 10-20 g worth quick drying and being inpatient so my #s aren't accurate. But this bud looks grand for a first timer. View attachment 174620 View attachment 174621 View attachment 174619
That one big bud is 21g. I think I can get 150-200 $ / oz. Good mid grade. Middies we call it round hurr. Smoke on.

mattkilla yoi beat me to the cut. I'm on straight water and a little MOAB at times. I shoud cut 3 of mine by the end of next week but strangely I have very little smell or taste. My plantsoutdoors are starting to reek and they are no wjere near a mature as my indoor ladies.... Anty thoughts on the lack of taste and smell?

Quick question for the experienced Hempy guys out there. If I have been following the feeding chart on the back on my FNG/FNB bottles, is it safe to switch to the Lucas method in my 5th week of flowering ???? I'm currently using 4mL of FNB, 10mL Flora Nectar, 10mL Diamond Nectar per gallon of water

I too was about to make my life easier and switch to maxibloom. I have enough technaflora nutes left to finish my flower plants out so I was more asking about my veg plants. Any big risks of me switching to maxibloom veg? This backs up Lee's ?

why are you switching from technaflora? Were you using the whole line or just some of their products? I ask cause I'm about to start running one plant with the whole technaflora line beside my others using GH flora micro/bloom to see if it makes a difference in my hempy's.

personally, i switched from the Techniflora line to MaxiBloom in a search for simplicity, ...i used to have to mix up different formulas for different stages of life, one for vegging, one for early flower, one for late flower and one for cloning and seedlings, ...it got to be a REAL pain in my ass.
...now i just use 1tsp per gallon of the MaxiBloom afterwhich i use Silica Blast to adjust the ph and i'm good to go, and ALL stages of life get the same nutes with the caveat that i also add KoolBloom for a week just before the flush so things are WAY simpler to manage now.
...my results are similar but my stress levels are WAY down, lol.

No help for the noob I guess ????

of course it's safe to switch man although if you still have the FNG/FNB why not just finish this run with the old shit and make the switch at the beginning of the next run?
...if you DON'T have all you need and must go buy another bottle of FNB or FNG then i'd suggest you just switch now.
AD
btw, you weren't ignored, at least not because you're new, ...but the question was a bit simplistic AND it has been asked many times before so i think everyone was just waiting for someone else to respond. ...don't take it personal bro, if you want to learn in this house you NEED a thick skin.
Lucas is ..... 8ml of FNB per gallon .... nothing else !!! so for you to switch is only putting most of your bottles in storage , cuz they're not needed .

I've searched for the answer with no results. Just wanted to be sure that I don't burn up my plants, especially with the other products I'm using. Thanks for the response

yeah man, generally speaking you shouldn't have any problems switching from one to the other although i've never used the FNB/FNG.
if the FNB/FNG are organic then i'd not recommend you switch until the next run because MaxiBloom is NOT organic so might not be so good with the microherd.
btw, if you are as new here as your post count suggests then you need to always use the 'advanced search' option where you can search by keywords or by specific members and you need to first set each category to search in thread titles only and then save your search preferences at the bottom of the page before performing a search so that setting becomes your default setting.
oh yeah, how long have you been growing? ...i hesitate to offer advice or even to know whether or not i have any that you could use.
lol, i guess i'll go look and see if you have an intro thread that describes your setup and your current level of experience.
peace, AD

Buddylee , you do realize that the lucas formula is more than just maxibloom right ? read that link i put in my last post . your already have the lucas in your floranova bloom . lucas is a percentage of the NPK nutrients that the lants like to thrive on . there are many nutes you can use to get that right balance of NPK . FNB being one of the best ... just a bit more expensive to use than the maxi is all . toss the other bottles your using on the shelf & just use 8ml per gallon of the FNB .... you'll be surprized how well it will do ... just remember to shake the shit out o that bottle of FNB .
good luck dude
shitty pic but you get the idea , 2 ECSD grown in 5 gallon coco hempys fed with 8ml of FNB

This is my first grow, EVER lol. I've got 6/23w cfls that I'm using. And I wasn't going to switch to Maxibloom, instead use the FNB that I have according to the Lucas website. Just wasn't sure if I could still use the Flora/Diamond Nectar also, safely.
