An interesting bunch of comments. Not very rece I am specifically referring to aromatic rings like in essential oils. Cow shit has a smell from bacteria, not benzene rings/aromatics. Flowers are full of aromatic rings so there is a use for them in the flower. Not all aromatic rings are...

I am familiar with concepts of feeding microbes, sucrose feeds microbes. Molasses is different because it adds minerals and flavors. The unsulphured molasses is especially good because the late season stop is higher in minerals. Capsicum Cannabis? Tanks for the suggestion though, I'll file...

I am in the homestretch with a longer flowering plant. Just a month to go and on cruise control for nutes. I have been adding stuff into my soil as a top dressing sorts in the hope this will add to the taste and smell of my buds. I did this before with awesome results. Recently I saw a...

And it does not matter how well you age dry or cure it the drapes were sour to start. It matters a whole bunch. Crapy grapes always make crapy wine.

Let me get this straight. You cut you nitrogen in half and put your plant into darkness then it began to turn yellowish. I would expect no different from a plant. Add fuel to the fire with nutrients. Add heat up to 85 degrees, these could be a bit cold, that should het them growing again...

Heat stress can cause this. Improper watering might cause this. You said, "I have flushed extensively." Flushing is stressful on plants, why did you flush in the first place? What was the issue that got you to flush? Did you feed them after flushing? Are you feeding them enough over all...

Don't worry so much about your run off being at a particular number. Every setup is a bit different. My run off is double this and I've made mistakes that put me up to 3400 runoff. This got me very animated and upset. I flushed gown to 1600 and all is good. If I had been testing periodically...

pH is most common problem, 6-6.5 you got that covered. Add in EXTRA Calcium and Magnesium, the nutrients you use might no have any or too little. Heat stress is not likely @75. Humidity, can you increase it to 55% for a week to see if it improves 75 degrees is cold. They grow better around...

"why would cannabis be the one plant that would need pH adjustments?" Cannabis is no different than those tomatoes. What is different is the nitrogen you are feeding them. You feed cannabis nitrates twice a week and you feed tomatoes urea and ammonium once in 2 weeks. Urea takes time to be...

Although urea is not normally used in cannabis growing you have the same issue at the same early point in the grow. Get ahead of the ball here and add nitrogen or urea right around the 12/12 switch. A little bit might help get past your high demand period during stretch. OR wait until you...

Indica vs, Sativa. I think the way it goes is lower RH for sativa makes denser buds. Lower RH on an Indica will stress the plant, it wants to grow big fluffier buds in a higher RH like where they originated. Similar to typical plant response. Less RH can make a tighter bud. When weather...

That is correct. Alcohol has a recognized toxic concentration level of what? 0.08% No matter how much you drink 0.08 is considered intoxicated. It is toxic. Simple things will kill a plant and make animals sick or less healthy. Try feeding these to someone's prized horse and they will...

Nothing wrong with that. It is nitrates at issue. Nitrates can convert to nitrosamines in the digestive tract, so limit intake.

"Chock full" sounds like a bunch. Is it your position that nitrates are not toxic to consume chock full? I know bacon is not a plant but they make a big deal to carefully measure the curing salt because of chock full of nitrates is considered toxic to animals. Modern agricultural practices do...

If only it was so easy. Smoke and mirrors, look over here. They tested for and got "exactly the same levels of mineral content in the buds. Where are the tests and results for the only thing at issue - the NITRATES. Did you see a separate test result for nitrates?" Even presuming to do a...

I'll look for a pic of those little flowers. It was a while back. Man I kept looking at that thing wondering what could have been. I have the same seeds again. Maybe I'll get more. I did so many silly things to that plant.

Nitrates are toxic to consume, these are not nutrients for animals. We can't completely avoid nitrates, but "chock full" as you say will get animals sick. Animals need to get their nitrogen from amino acids not nitrates.

About a week before I expected to cut down my plants they started to foxtail. No worries, extra bud, so I waited an extra week or 2 I can't remember. One of the buds started to kick out what looked like actual tiny white flowers then all the buds started to add extra bumps. Unfortunately I...

Chiropractic is not supper cropping. Twisting a stem until you hear it snap is very much less destructive than snapping and folding a stem in super cropping. I don't know what horse hogs are but I'm gonna guess you mean big. I grow some buds the size of pop cans, it takes lots of minerals and...

Of course, we can not flush anything out of the plant, that has never been cited by any authority. Here's the bottom line on flushing at the end of a grow or any flushing. Flushing HERE at the end of the grow is to get rid of excess nitrogen. Some people may use the wrong nitrogen towards the...
