Hey @HydroRed , I just got in my Mega Crop when I got home today it was on the porch :D. Just wondering what you thought, should I go ahead and start in on it with my next Flower water change? Start with my next veg water change then follow them into flower? Finish up with what I have of my botanicair line then switch (waste not and all that)? Just go ahead with the mega crop in all areas as I won't be sorry :D?

I would appreciate your advice as well as anyone who watches your journals' thoughts.

@Cold$moke any input? or thoughts? I don't think you run Mega Crop but just in changing nut lines in the middle of a grow in general?

I am leaning towards just moving everything to the mega crop but..... Did you notice any difference in taste, flavor or scent when you changed? I am happy with the shit I grow for consumption but the botainicare line of 5 - 8 items every res change is a huge PITA.

I would treat it like anything else you try for the first time. Apply to a small area then decide to move forward once you see the results. I have a feeling your gonna like it. Would I change nutes mid flower -probably not. Not because of the nutrients themselves, but mid flower isnt the time I'd like to get on the "learning curve" with any new product. Just my .02 though.
As for taste when changing over nutrient line, I didnt notice anything different from one to the other. Just fatter frostier buds! :bigjoint:

There will always be slight flavor changes with nute changes in my exp.

Just burn up what you got then switch
But save yourself a nug and you can taste for your self :)

As to switching midway. Thats up to you

I tend to try to stick with one thing throughout but doesnt mean squat .
I dont know which botanicare stuff your runnin but it would probably be ok.

Red makes a great point about the learning curve midway though

My issues where more along the line of going with something with bio stimulants to straight salt based.
Which the bio stuff helps the plants assimilate some stuff.
The straight salts go right to work :)

I know i sure as shit wont use 8 separate products ......its been years since i ran more then a base ;)

I don't get over this ways enough.... But I do have to say that pic you showed me was hella SCRAY.... From Stoney Girls Gardens.....I think I got hemp mites from them.... But that was my bad,,, I SHOULD KNOW BETTER,,, than bring straight clones into my home... Clone factories are what they are.............. We should know better than import a plant without ''''curing''' it......... Thanks for the replies... Like said,,, I don't show my ass here much,, I do work on another site as my primary.... But been looking to see how you liked the Black DOG? Tasty shit... Like you said,,, a tad airy,,, but me,, I give it 9 outta 10........... Or close..................8.5........ Hope yours did as well... A plant I'll clone 'TILL' I find a better.......

I was impressed with your grows, but when I saw Stoney Girls garden and realized they were teaching "classes" I had to share them pics with ya. I think I got mites just looking at them haha
Black DOG turned out great for only running one bean. I loved the flavor etc, but didnt get the nice colors you got on yours. I'd run it again.

It sucks to get infested cuts. I let my guard down once and lost an A1 momma of Kosher Kush to russet mites brought in from an outsider clone. Im jaded on getting clones from outside of my circle now, and even then I treat them like they are infested with a quarantine and treatment.
A product called "Green Cure" worked great on PM for me. If you are in early-mid flower (which it is completely safe to use since its just potassium bicarbonate) it can brown out your pistols prematurely. OMRI certified too.
For mites, Id suggest pyrethrum. For any other bugs besides mites, Id go with spinosad which is also OMRI certified.

I haven't seen a bug or PM for 3-4 years... I do a maintenance spray regiment as I start to flower and within the first 2 weeks after. Still clean... I like that Green Cleaner from Old Stage....... It's also great leaf wash at low levels and still works for PM spores................. I live in Portland Area,,,, and we are known for molds........... 10 years here myself,,, and if I can't harvest come OCt, 1st outdoors, as a rule,,,,, Grey Mold and PM run rampant. Least indoors I can control the R/H............. I also run a small greenhouse outdoor every year...... I been growing Stonies Shit damn ner every year outdoors.......... And will next again.. One of the few products well acclimated for here on the market.... I mean cut Oct 1st outdoors............... But I know what you said about them pics......... Kind of funny,,, he offered me a job afew years back..... To help with the gardens,,,,, he does grow 20-25 strains per year....... But I don't care to do that much work here at my own house,,,,, WTF am I going to go to his for????

Hey red do you do your seed runs from 12/12?

Been seeing Bakersfield kill it and was wondering if you did the same ?

Seems like you both got the strain testing set ups dialed in :)

Not usually, but the last run I did of regs was almost a "12/12 from seed" since I was sifting through the males. Honestly, i work best with clone runs. I'll root clones and transplant to the flood tables for a cpl days to harden of then flip to 12/12. Pretty much zero veg. Its just been the last cpl runs I've done reg seed since I was doing testers.

Gotcha. nice:)

Just like your cola sizes

Growing bushes is getting old lol
And trimming em aint fun either haha
Click to expand...
Exactly where Im at. They just trim sooo fast. Granted, I dont get the same yield as a huge bush, but I dont have to trim any bottom bush or larf, no vegging time, and I get crops every 8 wks...more often every 4 weeks when I dont do reg seed runs. I can squeeze in a ton of variety in a short period of time.

No veg time and ease of trim is what i like

I dont mind growing a big bush but they take so long .

Been thinking of saying fuck plant counts but well you know lol

But after spending most of my growing career in a small box. It is ingrained in me to fill my net lol

But now since i got some standing room Id like to grow a few "howitzer's " lol
