Foxfarm Nutes Questions?

Whats up to the community! I've gotten so much good advice from the RIU members over the last couple years it's been so rad!

I've been a medical patient for a couple years, and I can rest easy at night because I follow the law to the letter. I've been blessed with a very discreet indoor grow (even my inlaws house sitting for 3 days would never even suspect it) and have had maybe 8 harvests of Kron, each batch getting better. I grow in 10L pots and Ocean Forest soil. I flower under 600w hps, and am currently flowering Bubba Kush (soon to be switched out, great flavor but foxtailed buds) Sour OG from Cali Connections (nice structure and really easy, but diesel flavor), and Querkle from TGA (amazing flavor, expececially with lots of molasses and and proper curing).

I used dynagrow last year and had good success, but have switched to using Foxfarm Grow Big for Veg (sometimes with some extra kelp) and Foxfarm Tiger Bloom, Molasses, and Foxfarm Organic castings/guano. I have to water every day throughout the second half of my flowering stage, and I alternate every other day water, every other day 3tsp tiger bloom 3tbsp casting/guano Molasses and great white some of the time.

My pH is 6.3-6.4 and I don't have to mess with it. My questions are:

1. Could I be doing anything better with these nutes? My plants are usually flat tops with 6-8 main colas due to 4'8'' height restrictions.
2. Am I totally missing the boat? I want to get to the point when I get 3 oz of each plant, and so far its been about 2 max.

If anyone has ANY input I'm ready to hear it:)

As a side note, I have the green pheno Querkle and have harvested it from 50 days to 90 days, its a slow vegger but is really nice no matter what and turns a tiny purple if you let it go long.

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you have a good handle on things. The only thing I noticed was your use of molasses and Great White. I'm not a big fan of these personally, since molasses feeds both good and bad microbes, and the nitrates in hydroponic nutrients tend to kill off the microbes anyway. I find that products like Great White work the best in a garden where you've over tilled the earth or dug large holes and you plan on using slow releasing organic nutrients like fresh compost, worm teas, and fish hydrolysate.

Other wise I think your doing a great job and I would say trust your instincts more then anything.
