Here is my baby; she is a super Silver haze. I started her withT5s and she is in bloom now, under 12 T5s at 12hours; this is around 650watts, 8 bloom bulbs and 4 veg. I used fox farm happy frog soil. I also use grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom. I also use General hydroponics organic base enhancer’s floralicious bloom and grow. I also use General Hydroponics Diamond nectar. I know sounds like a lot but it’s all used in moderation lol. She was in veg for about 2 months I also have this Gravity that I’m told will do a lot for me but I’m waiting until week 4. It is in 7gal pot so I can’t wait to see how this baby finishes.





And here are some random pics from past grows.

they look good man, how long did you veg for? and don't use that gravity. its not good shit, I mean yeah your plant will get fat and juicy and look great, but its being pulled from cali, oregon, denmark, it uses bad chems, cancer bad. if you don't want to take my word for it (please don't) go do some research (please do).


btw: imho this is why you pay more for a caregiver/proffesional care..

Guy behind the counter at Grass Roots, in augusta told me that peopel loved it and were raving about it $27.00. What a rip, and if its bad stuf I cant even pawn it off on some one cause thats just wrong.

I just got this stuff like a week ago!! You would think they know what they are selling!!

Please give me more information. I have not used it and cant find any data saying it is bad. Only thing I see is it will burn your plant if you do not use it with care. I have a week to decide. Ill spend hours reading now, thanks for the extra home work lol. Really thank you because I would not want to use nasty stuff.

I found this http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/971532-gravity-flower-hardener-dangerous-health.html

A gardnder talks about paclobutrazol, and how they used it. From his experience he didnt want it even on his skin never mind smoke it.

Guess its also banned in 2 states. I bet ones california,they seem to always be in the lead with banning chemicals possibly harmful to our health.

Does sound like the stuff is super strong, and to not use it unless plants are super healthy. Also dont foliar feed past week 5 flowering,though i dont foliar feed during flowering. Maybe a few select leaves i can spray the under side if it needs it.

remember even though Mike at Grass Roots is a cool dude, his job is to sell you products and to make you think you need said products....

I believe there is a t-5 growers sub-forum here.....check out IC mag's medical forum under San Diego's finest, there are some really nice t-5 grows by a few Cali guys....

On a side note Mike from Grass Roots is opening his own store in March or so.....

Paclobutrazol does appear to be a main ingredient of Gravity. The first sentence of the Wikipedia article for paclobutrazol says:

"Paclobutrazol is a plant growth retardant and triazole fungicide."

I have no idea what a triazole is, but is a plant growth retardant really something you want to use on your plants?

Mike's the one that's there the most....more knowledgeable than the owner about day to day operations, therefore he will do well on his own....I think he's going somewhere on rt 3..

a guy and women were behind counter, but its no big deal. I now know to only trust my own research when it comes down to a shops advice.

Check the MSDS on the product. Every chemical product in the US is required to post their MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for download . I would recommend downloading it and reading it carefully and then deciding if you want to take the risk of using it on a plant that you are going to either smoke, ingest, vaporize, or sell. From what I read about Emerald Triangle's Gravity product ingestion in small amounts typically causes some gastrointestinal upset and CNS depression. But that's from ingesting about 4oz. of the liquid. I don't know what would happen if you're using small amounts on your plants. But as someone stated in an earlier post you can also look at the MSDS for the individual ingredients listed on the bottle especially the larger percentage ingredients. Of course this is only my humble opinion.

its for ornamental plants, tulips and roses, not for human consumption. and since its not marketed for legal edibbles they do NOT have to give you the ingriedents, that is the loop whole they used. do research, only buy food grade ferts, don't believe the hype. and like said earlier, a store's salesman's job is to sell. google works

Yup, I use it. 3-4 times per crop. Depending on how long I veg, I may use it mid-veg. I use it just before switching to 12/12. I use it mid-flower. And I use it when I begin a 1-2 week flush. Does it help? I think so. I started using in a couple crops ago, and my quality and quantity is steadily improving. I am sure that's a result of a lot of things, but adding Sledgehammer is one of them I believe.

BTW another product I use is Great White (micorhyzzae). I am sure that helps a lot too.

Time for an update on my baby’s, I have a super silver haze that is a light hog. It stretched most of the 4 foot length of my 8 bulb t5 and I added a 4 bulb to help cover its width. It is about 4 weeks in flower plus a day or 2. A trusted person suggested I lollypop it. So I did and here are some picks.







Next is another little baby I just had kicking around. No ideas what it was but, it sure dose look nice.
