So we are training old school. No LST as I wanted, because of issues that arose just before transplant. But we have a Dream Machine that is 60 days on Veg and I cannot let her go any longer, due to growth spurt that happens in flower. So a few things, as you can see. Our baby is 3ft tall. We have installed out 3x3 SOG netting which will hold this heavy ass plant, that will develop huge ass buds and be heavy as shit. So we have out netting that is held up by zip ties, because the metal hooks slip down and we do not want out green goddess to get less light. So we install the net to hold her up.
Aside from that, I have another LED light setup on the way. I am going to move the lights to the sides of the tent, as a top, you will get the tops but not underneath. This is a place that a lot of people forget. The BEST place to get the most light obviously is on top and that is where the massive colas come from, but you cannot net the rest of the plant not get light. Under the tops is where you get your butter or brownie buds. The best, while not as compact, still good and fluffy for the crumble. Also put on a timer and put those lights on 12, off 12. Which is why they say 12/12.
My nutrition will change slightly.
The one our of this group that we will not be using will be the Pure Blend Pro Grow. That will be replaced with.
Its more or less the same thing, but forces the plant to concentrate on the buds as apposed to the leaves. It is also best for COCO and Soil mix, which is what we are using.
This also we will start using in the flower stages, as it helps boost the buds to ripen to its best potential, while not harming the plant. If there was ever a booster to use, this is it. I did not run my first set of plants with the and it was recommended that I try it, I did and was blown away. This stuff is amazing.
This I will wait until the last month of flower. Really what is does is give the plant just RAW sugar, so that it weeds out the chemical taste and sort of makes the plant give out what she can for flavor. Ii I was doing a berry or citrus flavor bud, I would do that, but this is just natural. So you get the taste of what she produces. No artificial flavors if you will.
If you are wondering what is the best set up for grow nutrients that I use, this is the chart. The only thing that I rarely use is the clearex. That is for flushing and I specifically use 2 Cup of Sugar in warm water, then let it cool. That is what I use for flush.
Also Still PH'd with this. But a suggestion...If you are too HIGH on your PH and want to come down. Instead of using the PH down, use oranges or lemon. Just a little at a time. It will make the buds taste better at the end. Ph'd to 6.0-6.5/ Its gross but we want our water to look like PEE.
All for now. As things start changing I will post up. Smoke on and be happy.
