So today is day 30 of flowering and things are starting to pack on some girth, and a few trichomes to boot! I am a huge huge huge fan of carbohydrates, sugars, electrolites, and anything sweet! A lot of my bloom nutes, along with a lot of my additives have a good amount of mollasses in them, and I add mollasses on top of everything else. Well I over did it this time. I purchased a 5 gallon jug of Botanicares Strapped and didn't measure anything out and dumped a couple of chugs into my res. I locked out the nitrogen and the yellowing began to set it. As soon as I realized wtf I had done I backed off (all but elminated) the carbs and sweetners and hit them with some nitrogen to try and green them up a bit. I was a little worried that a nitrogen bath would retard the flowering a bit or at least get them to stand still for the moment, but I think I faired alright. I made sure to remove all of the older yellowing and now dying leaves from the plants to help reduce the chances of mold and so far it's working. I fed again today at full strength and back on the carbs, so I guess we will see the results in a few days. I know a lot of people will think I'm nuts for jumping back on the carb train so fast after locking out nitrogen and would reccomend a few more feedings without the additional carbs. When I compare how frosty things are with the use of carbs vs. without the results speak for themselves. Does anyone else use carbs and sweetners as heavily as I do? Do your results mirror mine? The reason I ask is because I have always used them, and have only seen other peoples grows with out them and they really lack the trich production strain for strain cut for cut. Anyways here's some shots of the plants today. The McFly (Sour Queen x C-99 pineapple cut), BubbaWreck (pre 98 Bubba x Trainwreck), Jack Herer, and Jackie O are just starting to flower so I will get pics of them soon, for now here's the Purple Platinum OG Kush girls that call my greenhouse home...
