yea figured that was one thing thats wrong...that and the heavy foliage itself ...that and they could probably use some more rootspace...thou the bottom of that container is grated so i assume they will get air pruned?!??....idk...
think trimming leaves will do alot of harm? more harm or less harm then simply removing them? (both naturally happens) thinking about doing a lil of both by just folding them to almost nothing and holding them that way with paper clips or something....idk food for thought IMO.. not blocking light but not removed being counter-productive with photosynthesis.... im using 2-20-10 roots organic nutes with a bloom booster that 0-9-19 ~ tap water thats really hard (very base :/) so its high in cal and mag from my understanding..

what should i do? i know if you feed heavy in P & K that you must supply a higher amount of cal and mag from what ive read... havent done hydro or ever used meters or anything so if anyone has more insight about this whole subject (hard tap water and heavy P and K feedings) please let me know.
Thanks all! Thanks Jonda!

The trouble is that high P foods IMO are designed for outdoor plants whereby the P gets leached away into the surrounding soil/vegetation which unfortunately doesn't happen in container growing.


High P can cause excessive yellowing, pH problems etc.


I use a 6-3-8 start to finish with a single week of PK1314.

IMO you're gonna need something with more N later on down the line.

I trim quite heavily during veg and the stretch. If you check my signature thread you'll see what I mean.

I try to make the best use of the penetration power of my light that I can.

Which in our cases within this thread using 400w the penetration is 2-2.5ft maximum. Any part of the plant from the top down below this penetration won't receive enough light energy in order to sustain its growth but it will still draw from the plants energy to try to produce flowers.


To be honest I hate all these low N high P and K boosters.

i wouldnt mind growing a 10 week haze all day. thats almost as good as blue dream!
lovely looking healthy plants you got btw. keep up the good shit!
Thank you! I actually like the smoke of this strain better than Blue Dream. It is strong with a strong hazy, grapefruit/mango fruity flavor. Plus, Blue Dream has gotten popular enough that I can get it all the time....even here in Texas.

Glockdoc, your plants also look very nice, too!

Paradise Seeds. I get so impatient, but I really do love my hazes....so I am going to have to learn to put up with it.

I just put two Super Silver Haze plants into bloom. This is going to be excruciating!
