I'm going to guess that is a 10 week strain and your going to get 8 oz dry.
I just put my door on, now i'm expecting the temps to skyrocket.

I have FN Grow & Bloom. Was reading on the GH site and saw
I know that using a carbohydrate solution or molasses towards the end helps fatten them up, not sure if molasses is good for me, ants here come out of nowhere for sweets, so I will need some kind of alternative...
Is FN Grow/Bloom enough for the veg & flower cycle, or should I look into another additive like KoolBloom or Floralicous?

I just purchased the Kool Bloom powder for the end of the flower cycle. Will be starting to use it in a couple weeks on my Lemon Haze. It's supposed to really fatten up the buds. The guy at the 'dro store said he rates it #2 for flower. Forget the name of his favorite, but it was more than I wanted to spend. LOL

Perfect.
Let me know what you think of the results, I will probably pick up a bottle of the liquid.

The liquid is for the beginning stages of flower.

Oh ok, the site makes it sound like a liquid form of the powder...

I've used it and it does the job.. be careful it's some potent stuff, I cut the "recommended" dosage by at least 1/4 or 1/2 until I am sure they can handle it.

Damn Mon. It only call for 1/4 tsp per gallon. So you use about an 1/8 tsp or maybe less for the first week or so? How many weeks do you use it for? The final 3 weeks? Or do you flush before harvest?
I'm curious of when I can start to use this stuff. I'm 3 weeks into flower on a few of my 12/12 fs plants

Grazz Update...
The 5 clones I got last week are doing good, he gave them to me in 2" pots with pro-mix soil and I put 3 of them pro-mix and all into 1 gal smart pots with coco (one of these will be kept for a mother), the other 2 were a bit spindly and I put them in with the LST MM in the cab that will be going 12/12 sometime soon.
I also took 4 clones from my MM mom to re-pay the gift of the old skool clones..
Mother and 3..

Yeah, like I said it's potent shit but the nice thing is you may never need to buy another bag..lol.
I wait until the stretch is over and the colas are filling in nicely and that seems to be different with every grow. Lately I haven't really been keeping track of weeks in flower, I'm just going by how they look. I start at 1/2 strength for a few days and then bump it up and keep an eye on them, after 3 weeks tops I stop the Kool Bloom, and keep an eye on the trics and when they are ready I flush for a couple days with homemade Clearex. I'm doing Hydro (ebb and flow) so I think a couple days is usually enough.

Awesome info. thanks.
What do you use to make your own clearex?

50th day from flower, different pics than what I put in the general grow thread. I like the 250 club...
It's what helped me get going in a direction that suited me best.

Nice looking kolas kinetic....
Mine are going nuts right now, two pics below are from when I topped and started LST and switched to the 12/12, the second pic is today approx 3 weeks later...
Going to pull them down a little this week when I have time. Hoping the stretch period is reaching an end tho they are perfect right now. Plus I only have about another foot of room to move the light up lol....
3rd pic is just an extra
Looks healthy to me... Can still see traces of nute def, but it seems to be getting better. Ph is a tad high but not out of range.

Been on broken computer hiatus, nice to finally get back to see some of these awesome 250w grows. My own current grow has been a nightmare this summer. This brutal heat has really limited growth this round. I live in an old house with a boiler and radiant heat, so in order to convert to forced air and install central air I would have to probably sell multiple organs and possibly one or both of my children. So until I move in a few years I will refrain from Jun-Sept growing.
I'm at week 9 about to start week 10 on my current Blueberry and Trainwreck grow. Started final flush on friday and looking to harvest this weekend. While overall stretching was almost non-existent during transition, the size of the buds and density and quality are on par with my last grow, maybe even slightly larger. Total yield will be considerably less than last time but considering avg. temps have been 93+, I am just glad they produced some quality looking buds. I almost scrapped this grow midway, I am glad I seen it through to the finish.
Trainwreck end of wk 9

Need to grab a paper towel and wipe the drool off my keyboard......
I switched from a 4ft 4bulb, much better for me. I switched early tho so they were only a few weeks old, but much easier to deal with space, and its actually cooler being I have much more room for airflow.
Dont have to worry about only having 3" of effective light, also if you have good airflow and cooling they can get pretty close to a 250W bulb, mine have been as close as 4" at times without burning.
