I always throw that out there I didn't mean you should buy it. If you got it obviously no need for an additional 10 pounds. It's more fore those considering purchasing it. Just pointing out that 1 can costs the same as 10 pounds of homemade. 2 ingredients.
As to your question I have the same query. I am going into flower week 3 starts for me and I wanted a boost for a week. I'm dropping jacks to 1.0 and adding p/k 13/14 I too have sitting around. Bringing it to 1.3 with that.

^^ that's why you recycle organic soil and let it constantly improve from grow to grow. Or why you do soil beds and top feed / apply new amendments at the end of each cycle...

But I agree with Stoney - he's got the right idea. Cut the bottom of the bag off and set it on top of some more dirt. Works perfectly.

^^^ That was a 3 gallon placed on top of another 4 gallons in the bucket - and then extra dirt filled in around the side of the bag to pack it in place.

Pretty sure I did that around the 2nd wk of flower once I realized the plant was a bit big than intended, and I didn't want it to be deficient...

Yeah that's probably the best idea Frank but height would def become a problem for me.

You think I'll lose a good portion of the possible quantity/quality if I leave em in the 3s and finish feeding with bottled "organics"?

If your roots get bound up yes. If there's still sufficient room for the roots you should be ok. Only way to tell is look at em.

I don't have the need or space to store several pounds of moab lol and would never use that much in a lifetime. I just ask because I have a can of it laying around that I normally use the last couple weeks, but I keep reading about the glue locking up above 1.3 ec so not sure if I should introduce it to the glue even if I lower my base, if she's that sensitive to concentrated nutes.


Should not be a problem. Drop your base nutes to 1.2 then add the moab to 1.3. It'll be worth it. .1 ec shouldn't be enough to cause a problem.
I use Kool Bloom/Ka Bloom(whatever it is) at the rate of .2 ec addition and no problems.
I've never used moab and don't know how it is compared to the K Bloom.
I am currently running no higher than 1.2 so I drop base with additives to 1.0 then add up to 1.2 with the KB.

Alright here we go. 5 days into flower an it's just blowing up like crazy in there.

Here's one of the GG4s. Pulled her so you could actually see her. Shes measuring 19" at the highest top.



And here's everyone. Closest 4 are the glues.



So I tried pretty hard not to over veg these. But they sneak up on ya quick if they veg under the 1k(@400w) for a few days.

My tents roughly 6ft and the light takes about another foot n a half.

Not sure where all this talk of her being a light feeder is coming from. I feed the Glue at 1.9-2.2 EC everytime and never get any tip burn or anything... just nice plump dense buds!! :tiphat:

Well she's a pretty fast rooter.... I really need to figure something out ASAP before I run into some serious problems. I'm thinking maybe cut the bottom 3-4 inches off a 5g pot and using that instead of a whole pot. That's probably best bet.

You guys think I should do that ASAP or wait til they're a little more rooted?

Right on... Look'n fantastic CARE giver... I would cut the bottom 16-18 inches off of a 5 gal bucket... Use the bottom ft for root space/growth... Then the top 4-6 inches to pack it n and stabilize ur 3 gal grow bags... I have done this quite often indoor n the winter if Im learning a new strain and need the root space... But wtf do I know... Hell, I can't get the glue... Maybe joesy, krust, stoney, resin r, or one of the more experienced will chin in... -F.S
