Best possible thing for your plants.

leaving them alone for a day or two.., i come back in aww of all the growth...

i did that and came back to find they had been under the hps for 24 hours straight. i was bummed earlier.

So then...

Foliar feeding (with weak nutrients)
TLC (i'm sure everyone can agree is one of the MOST important)
Foxfarm nutrients (quality ones of course)
Rainwater (unless in a smog filled city)
Fans (great for co2 circulation, heat dispersion, plant toughening... all in all very useful)
Superthrive (supposedly does almost nothing, but that's why I made this thread... to find what's most valuable)
Cooled-lights (having the lights as close as possible is always great and this is a good way to achieve it)

Anyone have any great techniques for a plant shape? Most supercropping methods take too long, you might as well grow a plant and flower it and start growing a second one. How about for cloning?

Please refrain from showing your grows, please. We've all had some amazing ones and this isn't a thread to stroke egos its a thread to share our greenthumbs. I'm sick of reading dozens of different accounts on what works and what doesn't and what's better than what... the point of this is to find the most important things we should all take into account when growing. There is no point in us spending 200$ on a light only to forget to buy a good soil or buying a CO2 injector when our water is too acidic. So come on... share your talents.

foxfarm ocean forest+40% perlite.

hydroton grow rocks on top of soil, about one inch deep. helps watering so well!

zip ties

bungee cords

I just got back from spring brake for 5 days and i swear it doubled in size

most deff. fox farm products.
ocean forest mix.
tiger bloom.
big bloom
beastie blooms

anything fox farm makes a difference for me.

and a friend of mine that grows with amazing results suggested that i rub the stalk of my ladies to stiffen the stem, and also makes the center of the stalk hollow, allowing nutes, and food to travel through the plant and to the places that matter most.

dr.hornby's big bud for flowering!!!

you can feed them any old fert, but my man nailed, hardcore lighting in close proximity

LSTing made a big difference in my yield. Topping or training your plants is a must for indoor growing so that you can maximize your light efficiency.

Can u get Foxfarm products in the us? if so where?

any hydro store or from the internet. I think some of their products are over priced but the soil is awesome

ocean forest is awesome. i suggest adding about 30-40% perlite though. turns it into the nicest fluffiest ganja soil around.

Fox Farm products are outstanding,more light is better than less

My personal opinion is that fox farm is a rip off.The concentration levels are way low.I always used bio bizz,but when they dropped gh it became hard to get in my area so in mid grow i switched to fox farm and i was using a whole gallon jug of each product for each watering so like 150 dollars a water thats bullshit and my yiellds went down alot compared to using bio grow,bloom,heaven,topmax,gravity,hygrozyme.Bio's line may cost more per gallon,but a gallon will last a whole cycle as the concentration levels are 4 times as high and you don't have to feed even close to as much.Plus the end product is much better.I actually just switched to the bio canna line and we shall see.

you have to go by there chart and use all there nutes. as they say thats why they have a grow chart for you to follow I use FF from the soil to the ferts. and mine are doing great big fat nugs and I'm a noob to the game so I think FF is good stuff if you do it your way it might not be what your using be how you use it I agree you have to use all there stuff before you say it junk
