I just bought this stuff recommended by my local hydro shop. He said it would help root development in the seedling stage what do you guys think?

So I havnt given my seedling the root inhancer because it says its for plants being transplanted. I guess those hydro shop will sell you anything if you dont know your shit. I'll have to be more cautious next time.
Here they are day 20 since breaking soil I believe and the seedlings have been under the flouros for 1 week. you can see how the single one that was transplanted earlier is much bigger than the others.
I also sprayed them down lightly with a .2-0-0 a few days ago and yesterday I added a few drops of superthrive to a gallon of 6.4 ph water.

here they are at week 4. Finally some normal growth. Still dont undersand why they took so long, I was doing everything right.
So far they have been under 2 54 watt t5's for 2 weeks and I think and im going to move them under the 400 MH. I have 2 levles in my closet. Bottom level is for seedlings and rooting clones with the 2 t5's cool whites. the top is for mothers and vegging clones with the 400 MH. Then of course I have a 16 square foot 7' high grow tent with a 630 cfm blower sucking heat off the 1000 watt hps. This will be the first try at a perpetual harvest.

moved all the plants and seedlings under 400 MH. It looks like I have 4 good ones and 4 bad ones. I have some purple#1 seedlings and spoetnik #1 seedlings in the same area. I need to convert my closet into 2 levels. one for clones and seedlings under t5's and a top level for mothers and vegging plants.

If ya want any advise on how this strain grows I'll be glad to help. I have had 4 awesome runs with Dutch Passions Orange Bud and it is going to surprise ya. Going to the movies in a min, but would love to chat about the strain since many people don't grow it.

Yeah its a good strain, getting a lil used to it, but it will treat ya good. Theres def a couple diff pheno's of it. One very citrus and the other is like fruit punch. Just be careful they get 3X there height when ya flower. A lot of the sativa characteristics come out in flower. I am doing a SCROG grow now with it to try and control the ridiculous stretching during the first 3 weeks of flower. Give yourself plenty of room, I bud at no taller than 12" and find supercropping it is almost a must to get good yield.

yeah I guess if ya have noone to tell ya what the strain is like and you are expecting something mostly indica,like I was, it can take time to find the best way to grow it for yield. I have never had a prob with quality or potency(as long as ya let it hit day 60 min) But the sativa traits I didn't expect threw me off.Te plant stretches like no other the first 21 days of bud growing over a foot. It NEEDS to be supercropped and shaped carefully to get a nice indica looking bush with lots of big colas. I have the last couple grows all logged in my journal if ya wanna peak. Ya can see the difference in how I vegged them. My first run gave me like a zip per plant this time I'm headed for a qp per plant.

Ive noticed about 3 different phenotypes out of the eight I have growing. I just bought some bushmaster which halts vertical growth.

How do you go from an oz per plant to a qp? I grew 1 skunk #1 under my hps with 4 other leggy plants and yielded over 3 oz. and I had estimated around 1 & 1/2. Im not sure how to supercrop besides that it involves pinching and bending oer. like I mentioned I'll be using bushmaster to control the height and hopefully I get some positive results. Ive seen grows with and without bushmaster and the results are phenominal. The plants treated with the bushmaster looked nothing like the buds that didnt use it. the bushmaster buds were very wide and stout. And Ive also heard reports that it reduces flowering period .

How?? By becoming a better grower of coarse. With time you learn things that improve your grow. There is no way to know everything about growing before ya start since every grow room is designed different. I'll tell ya something though, I have doubled my yields with every harvest AND cut the # of plants down every time,plus grew shorter plants. The orange buds sativa characteristics come flying out in 12-12. I didnt see that coming my first grow with it and they got to be over 5ft by harvest. A HPS light can't even come remotely close to penetrating that far 1.5' of strong light is it, anything below that will grow popcorn crappy nugs. So I went from 16 plants in 2 gallon containers to 12 plants in 3 gallon containers for my second run. I also put the plants into bud at about 2ft this time and managed to double my yield per plant from about 1-1.5 to 2-3 ounces. The run I am on now is the culmination of everything I learned from the first 2 grows, plus I am using way better nutes, full 800 watts of HPS lighting instead of 400MH/400HPS and the plants were supercropped to keep them at 1ft. I compare all my pics per week from all my grows and it is easy to see that the plants are doing way better from my first to last. If the pattern I have been watching continues as it has and is looking so far I should easily hit 3-4 ounces per plant. Remember people rarely get the max yield fro there plants since it costs tons of money and the best products on the market to make a perfect grow as the seed companies do. Orange bud says it can yield 400 grams per square meter, which means I should be able to get 2 pounds outta my room if done perfectly. So that is what I am shooting for, to max out this strain. Outdoors OB can yield a pound per plant, just because you have a particular strain it doesn't mean that you will yield what the seed companies get. Plus I am damn sure I left out tons of techniques and shit I have learned in the years that I just keep applying to my grows as I go.

cMetal Im so glad that I have your expertise and experience with orange bud available. You are a huge asset I think. So bsaed on my set up, What am I lookin to yield would you say? Thinkin on using 2 gallon square containers for flower.
And does anyone have an opinion based on my most recent photos of which plant to keep for a mom? Maby a little early for that.
