Northern Lights X BB auto & Speed Devil auto

Any opinions on using the blossom booster for one watering then the fish-seaweed mix(that should arrive in a week or so) for the next watering? Until then I'll only be using the blossom booster every other watering, but I figured it's hard to burn with organics and the blossom booster is low on N so I may need to supplement the plant with some.

It's supper hard to burn with organics. You have to be completely reckless to burn your plants lol (imo). Mix two caps to a gallons of water for starters, then move up to four. I'm just doing it once a week, think that's decent enough. Also considering using bloom every watering...

Well the Blue Mammoth unlike the Northern Lights takes everything I've done to her pretty well, never deficient, never burning so I figure she should benefit from the increased N. I'm convinced now thanks to you and UB that plants need more N than the blossom boosters tend to give.

Also I think I may switch from FFOF to roots organic. Still looking up comparisons and reviews, but I know La Diva only needs light fertilizer and that burn from FFOF has me worried even if I plan on using jiffy pellets for the seedling stage.

I know no store in my area has roots and my nursury(unless they increased the price) has FFOF for $15, but hey no shipping charge it seems. Never used ebay before though I could be reading it incorrectly.

EDIT: Oh wait, is the price that says standard shipping the included price or are they really charging $27 dollars for shipping for an $18 product?

Have heard good things about roots organic...but is kind of expensive! From what I understand, Fox Farm won't burn your plants if you don't put them into the soil until they're a few weeks old. I bought some FF cut with Happy Frog from ebay. Have the seedlings in seed started soil and will grow them in that until at least a few weeks pass! We'll see how it works out...

Well I found a website that sells RO for $8, with shipping it ends up being $25. Roots Organics Soil .75 Cubic Feet Amazon has the same thing for $47. I don't even need the soil now, I still have maybe enough FFOF for a 1 gallon pot. I guess I got a little bit of time to figure out what I want lol.

Watered today with plain water. The BM has a little bit of nute burn. Most of the tips of the fan leaves are burnt. Just the tips though. In retrospect I did use the full strength of the recommended dose and that probably wasn't a good idea. I should of gone just a bit under. On the bright side all the yellowing and reddening of stems on the NL have stopped. I have 2 bottom fan leaves that are about 30% yellow, but besides that nothing else Next watering will be with the blossom booster, but I'll go 1/2 or 3/4 strength.

I LST's the highest node on the BM, it was just getting too tall so I made it level with mode of the other nodes. You can't really see the length, butthe pistils are the BM are still just in pairs. They are around a cm long for most of em though. Starting to notice more pistils(preflowers if it's only the pair at the start of the node?) on the NL as well. Vertical growth has pretty much stopped for the NL and for the most part BM so I don't want to LST them too much simply because it won't make much of a difference. The top stem that I LST'd was like 3 inches higher than the others. Pretty cool that it took so well to the LST, it was the 4th-5th node from the top and it was higher than all others.

Whenever my fish-seaweed blend gets here I'll be watering with that by itself for one watering and the watering with the blossom booster the next. Any opinions on that? I'll continue going 12/12 until the end of this grow. Temps have been decent I guess, 84-88F. When I was the two 26w CFLs on the temp is 88 and they're maybe 2 inches from the acu-rite. I've confirmed that they raise the temp by 2 degrees by themselves. I lifted the 2 lights to the same height as the other bulbs. I found that the side growth was growing(which is great) into the bulbs and I didn't want to risk a burn. Middle growth is pretty packed too so it was pretty much take the lights out or raise em. One of these days I'll find a way to take a picture of the lights.

Besides that all is good. My room stinks, but I can't really smell it outside my room.

EDIT: Wow that last pic makes the girls look a lot better than they do irl lol.

That last top shot is the shit! They look so good....can tell that you're really taking care of them

For the bloom nutes, found out it's ideal to do one week of half veg / half bloom nutes in the same mix before going full on bloom. Of course I read this after the fact lol.

As for the fish and seaweed...are you using organic bloom nutes? If so, I would say that you can mix them together once a week. If your plants start showing that they need N, add more fish to the mix or up adding it to your water twice a week. That's just what I do though...

Ikr, they really liked that LST, Scrog is probably more organized and neater though. I'll have to find a good method of getting it in the bin. Oh btw how did you velcro the bin? In order for me to take the plants out I have to take the entire top off. Just counted from the pic and BM has 18 tops and NL has 13 Some people don't like popcorn buds, I really don't care lol.

I'm going to get a sample of the seaweed-fish blend, but besides that I'm using synthetic fertilizer, Jack's Classic. I don't really have any veg nutes, well I have the 16-10-30 Veg+Bloom, but I haven't used it. I've been using(well once) all purpose(20-20-20) and bloom(10-30-20). I was using veg nutes I guess if you consider the urine mix and the 20-20-20 before that, veg nutes. I guess that's a good idea to ween it off the veg nutes instead of just switching. But yea as of right now I don't have any organic fertilizer, I'm still waiting on the sample.
