Blooming & Flowering Nutes with Cheap-o Crystal Stacker
My plants all started flowering at the same time. One week in bloom and now everything changes:
Note: My plants have only received non-organic Jack's 20-20-20 (veg) and (non-organic) Jack's 10-30-20 (bloom) + Silica, and Cal-Mag, and Tap water only. I don't even Ph it any more. The city water tests at about 6.7 or 6.8 more often than not and contains chloromine's which are rumored to cause nutrient block within the root system. But here, we have it fairly green in their first week of flower. The danger of starting AquGold finisher too early, is that the leaves may yellow before harvest (add 20-20-20 for one feeding). Or starting AG too late, the leaves won't yellow before harvest.

Now that they've begun flowering it's time to change over to Jack's (non-organic) Aqua-Gold. First, I'll pump-spray them with TetraSan translaminar miticide (travels through both sides of the leaf!) Note: Cease™ (7.5 ml/qt) can also be mixed with TetraSan (1/4 tsp/qt.) when spraying.
The plants are needing water, but I'll spray them first, and they'll drink-up thinking it's H2o. Here's the AquaGold instructions:
"Now that you are planning on switching over to the AquaGold Finisher, there are two ratios to follow: One for the AquaGold, and the other for the Epsom Salts (cheap-o crystal stacker). If you water by hand, using your watering can, you should be using 3/4 TSP of AquaGold and 1 TSP of Epsom salts per gallon of water.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
However, if you are using the Syponx, the dosage will be much higher in your one gallon concentrate jug. I would suggest using 1/4 cup of AquaGold, and 1/3 cup of Epsom salts added to one gallon of water in your jug. You should use hot water to mix everything up when first mixed, then vigorously shake numerous times. Even so, you may still see some residue in the bottom of your concentrate jug. Don't worry about the residue.
(Do NOT top off the one gallon concentrate jug with plain water, after your initial or secondary watering and fertilizing.)
When you go to use the concentrate jug with the Syphonx the second, third, or fourth time, you will for sure find residue at the bottom -- as when the water cools, the AquaGold and Epsom Salts will fall out of solution, and go into suspension. I suggest that you place the jug out in the sun to heat up the water, then put the cap on the jug and shake vigorously again -- before watering/fertilizing with the Syphonx.
Hopefully, the Vanilla Kush is a 60-65 day finisher -- but don't be surprised if it takes longer for the trichs to go cloudy, and perhaps some percentage going amber. (Not all strains go amber -- but they will go brown, which is too long.)
As for the other two Sativa strains, well, we'll both be watching to see if it takes 90 - 120 days to finish. If you have to use the 20-20-20 to green them up, only do it once." - farmer
