Does anyone treat their auto a little like photos? Such as ...

I'm a girl bruh, hence the name "Chicsgro2"! LOL! However, my girl was not a heavy feeder at all. I never used full strength recommended doses on her and only fed every other watering up until two weeks prior to harvest at which time I gave only water and unsulfured molasses.
Hey chics - what does the unsulfured molasses do?

Long story short: feeds the micro organism's in the soil that feed your plants. Also supposed to fatten and sweeten the buds in final flowering. Definitely worth looking up and reading up on it
This is the typical response I was looking for. Lmfao

It doesn't sweeten shit and it sure doesn't fatten up anything. If anything it will bring bugs to your grow. Then you're spraying everything with neem.

Let me guess, after you put a bunch of sugar in there, you're going to flush it out right?

@ incogneato420 - this isn't directed at you specifically, people just pass on shit they read that makes no sense.

Definitely no offense taken. Basically was just passing on shit that I read since I'm still on my first grow lol. At least I didn't say definitively that it did anything beyond feed micros in the soil haha. Left it open to the reader to do their own research so they may also mindlessly pass along what they read 8-)
I will say this, I test ran it on a basil plant I had in my kitchen...them fat little fuckin gnats (nociums I believe) loved it. Had to put the plant outside and set a vinegar trap in the kitchen so you are correct about bugs. Thank God for test dummies. I can say after reading forums for just over a year, its best to not trust half of what you read and forget the other half.

That really depends on the strain. The longer flowering strains can take anything a photo will, this was topped twice, defoliated twice, bent over and scrogged..... qand gave me 13oz dry!

No need to pinch off or cut leaves ... Just tuck them .
Autos hate ANY stress ... Just do a little LST - to open up middle.

Auto Strains will try to keep an apical type shape but can be LST easier than other methods. It doesnt have enough time to recuperate from over zealous trimming and manhandling. You want her to setup a good ROOTZONE over anything else.

Actually, I'm planning on FIMming one of my Super Cali Hazes, but am waiting for the beans to pop. I know a lot of people increase their yield with LST I see it a lot on here. FIM is where you wait for third set of real leaf to show and take 80% off the tip top of the tiny new set of leaves stretching up from center of the tip of the plant.. I saw if somewhere on the this forum and will post it if I find it again, but he seems to have success with it producing 4 top branches, not two as will happen when fully Topping a plant...
You actually fimmed an auto!? Wow show me a pic, would like to know how it turned out. I have Lst my autos and with good success. Especially, side branches.

If I don't fly imma die anyway

Hate to sound like the dude who checks other growers but you must of had a bad experience with this method. I use molasses in my grow religiously,.... The purpose is to feed your soil, hence happy soil happy plant. If you treat your soil be for you start your grow you will have the heads up. Carbs and sugars are very essential to your soil and plant. Check the back of your sweeteners that are used to fatten your babies ip. Molasses is in there one way or another.

Nope no bad experiences at all. I don't use ANY sweeteners. Never have never will. My buds fatten up naturally. I haven't used "cannabis" specific products in my years of growing. IMO all that shit is a waist of money. So are 5 gallon pots for autos.

This is all I use. And FFOF. Did I mention these are in 1 gallons.

Not bragging or anything but why would I change anything I'm doing. You really don't need that shit. :bigjoint:

That's cause you killed all your microbial life with those salt nutrients, molasses will do nothing for salt nutrient users its for organic growers. Molasses feeds the microherd in the soil and helps increase population, which feeds your plant and makes it grow better, Organic Gardening 101, maybe learn a thing or two before talking down others methods.

And this is in response to what? Did I say I tried it in any way? HUH?

You have a nice looking grow no doubt, but to say molasses has no purpose is a little bit disturbing, even the best organic grow can benefit from molasses. Hell I've even fed my babies milk and molasses. No salts in my grow. Not saying your way is wrong buy to assume molasses is a nest for gnats is not valid in my grow. Read up on it fellow grower and learn the benefits . Not trying to get out on you, only trying to inform the uninformed.

Sorry all. I was assuming you saw this:

nutes.jpg

I just like to keep things as simple as possible.......And yes, this is all i use. All the stuff to the right is extra shit to make you feel good. "Aroma" wtf is that. I don't think I could handle much more of that in my room. And "flush". What am I flushing? I'm done and am not the arguing type. We are all here for the same reason. I like to show the reality of things because I have experienced them myself over the years. Take it or leave it. It's all good. I took this off topic sorry. Have a good one guys/gals. :bigjoint:

I use those nutrients in my hydroponics system, they are cheap as hell and work well for hydro. I'd also suggest humic acid, lets you use less nutrients and save money.

Letting uninformative opinions run these threads are unnecessary. Knowledge is power ignorance is bliss. Lets help each other rather than say something isn't necessary or beneficial because you prefer something different.

I always wanted to try hydro, but "sometimes" the power out to the shop needs to be shut down a few hours at a time. That's why I stay in dirt. Same reason I only run autos. I don't sell so I just roll with it.
