Can you explain this any further? I've had really good luck with potassium silicate.

I'd argue that they pay well because they want happy employees and they don't want their employees getting poached by competitors. Happy employees tend to be more productive. And having people quit or change companies hurts the bottom line as they have to hire and train someone else. I don't...

Back on topic - In capitalism a company is going to charge the consumer as much as they can get away with without cutting too much into sales (maximizing profit) and they're going to pay their employees the least bit possible while still holding retention at a decent level (minimizing expenses)...

Bottom line is that there are only a couple dozen factors that are going to decide how your harvest goes. 14 of those are in your fertilizer. I personally prefer to use as few bottles as possible and save my money for other things. Can you get where you want to go using 18 different bottles of...

Silica can also cause this. You can't really kill a plant with too much silica but there is definitely an optimal range.

Sorry to rehash this but looking over that link - the whole article is marketing BS. I would bet you my next harvest that the folks over at AN or hired by AN wrote it. It reads very similar to pretty much everything they say. Go to their site and read the descriptions if you don't believe me...

Hermitian - how often do you suggest using the jump start and at what points in the harvest? I've been told that it may be more effective as a foliar spray than as a drench, is this true? Many thanks.

That's interesting and definitely gives us some insight into the relative importance of Phosphorus. I'm wondering if maybe the Potassium is the say way, perhaps there's an ideal range but it doesn't matter all that much if you're in the range. A 10% increase is nothing to sneeze at, but for...

Homebrewer, I'm curious, what kind of yield increase do you think is possible from really tweaking what we give our plants and having the stars align so to say, as compared to using RO water with Grow or FP and some Pro-tekt and not messing with anything else? I for one always kind of feel the...

The paclo definitely has an effect. I used 1ml on a couple of plants after the switch and a lot of stretching had already occurred. It stopped things from stretching any further but the biggest surprise was how further along the plants treated with paclo seem to be than plants that were not...

The funny thing is that folks don't catch on. Marketing is a powerful thing. People fry their crops and instead of taking a step back and reevaluating everything they go "oh no, I must need MORE stuff." Then they go buy an expensive bottle of who knows what and pray. At least that's my limited...

Just a quick update, everything got chopped and is looking good. I'll have more info on the specifics in a week or so. Also, if anyone wants a little laugh on this Monday morning: http://bigbudsmag.com/marijuana-hydroponics-nutrients-organic-fertilizers-Canna-Botanicare

Thanks for the tips. I think I adverted disaster this time around but I now see how fast things can spiral downwards and get out of hand. These will probably be my last pictures before I harvest and I think things are still looking good. Things are getting very sticky and very frosty. A couple...

Haha, I appreciate it but this is really all HB and those he learned from. All I have done is mixed some chemicals every once in a while, made sure to water every day, and snapped some pictures every now and then. The sad thing is that I really don't know much about what I'm doing and I have...

I sure hope so! I guess a lot can happen between now and harvest. Thank you for laying the groundwork. That's exactly the thing. He's got almost a decade of experience but still doesn't really seem to know what he's talking about. It could just be me soaking up too much from Uncle Ben. I'm...

Here's some pictures from day 35. 5 weeks exactly. I apologize for the quality, using a cell phone for the pictures just makes it too easy. I have still been using only grow and pro-tekt, but have felt the urge to muck it up and add other things to the mix. I'm not sure where this is coming...

Hey Uncle Ben. I'd like to say thank you. So, thank you!

Thanks for the tip. I really can't fathom how a nutrient solution could be any easier. I mean, if the bottle of Dyna-gro could grow little legs and mix itself, there would still be naysayers! Chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-CHO CHOO! Though I don't have much of a reference point, I'm starting to...

Thank you! Being my first grow it's hard to know how things should look so I appreciate the encouragement. Many, many, thanks. My skeptical buddy is starting to warm up to Dyna-Gro. His latest comment is that the buds look small... but he then went on to admit that he usually has problems with...

Quick update and more pictures! Day 25 of bloom, everything is still looking good. I think! Marching onward with Grow/Pro-Tekt. One bud looks burned, the hairs are brown. I'm not sure what happened and it's not even the closest to the light. Any ideas? Other than that things are GREEN.
