Bushmaster And Other Vertical Growth Inhibitors

Bushmaster is def strain sensitive. Some work better than others. My blueberry was really damaged by quarter strength but my Northern Lights took a full dose and it worked very well. In all honesty, if your have enough room for vertical growth, your better off using GRAVITY rather than Bushmaster. it works great, but you do have to forgo nutrients the week before in soil. I use it with molasses and man, what a difference!

Awesome tread. I have been looking into BushMaster, due to small grow space. First time grower, at germination still, but thinking in advance, and I can't wait to get where my seeds are at the point of applying BUSHMASTER.

Sounds good lets us know how it turns out

i had some blue dream act oddly to my BM foilage spray, but it did work , they are almost done blooming and nearly the same height as the day i sprayed them......purple maxx (flowering )and gravity (final phase) are decent additives for less $ than others...although I like phosphoload for the amount of bud sites and "stacking" that occured

Act oddly how? What was your dosage, if ya don't mind?
I ended up doing 2mls per, 3X's over 6 days. Didn't STOP growth, but only stretched 4". No burn or anything weird.

I used it almost full strength in my nute solution for like 5 days at a time, twice with my Ice plants from nirvana. They are about 8 weeks old and have been clipped for clones already. now they are like giant balls of green. the leaves are so dense i cant see through any of them and they have five colas or six instead of just two or four from topping. I am going to switch out the water now and go without it to get back a normal height. I was just messin around not tryin to save space. they should be sick when they grow up now.

has anyone used phosphoload? i am curious about this product if anyone has any experience

Damn, im a first time grower with limited space and i am really liking what im seeing with ths product.

I have used both dutchmaster phosphoload(discontinued) and bushmaster. While phospho was more effective , (meaning one application and the vertical brakes were on) bushmaster seems to have the same effect. BUT... you have to use it for mulitpul applications like three waterings in a row. Make sure you reduce the strength of youe other nutes. in the solution with bushmaster in it, and rasing your lights would not hurt. You can burn your plants with bushmaster.

I sprayed my plants right after switching to 12/12. They halted vertical growth within 12 hours. I'm now about 3 weeks into flowering and they haven't grown upward more than 1.5" other than main colas shooting up.

nice.. what was your application rate????

Be careful what you use on your plants for consumption especially inhaling. I'm no prude at all when it comes to chemicals I use Jacks Classic and DynaPro myself. Be very wary of growth regulators Here is a link posted by Uncle Ben on the "Snake Oil and other horticultural Myths thread.that concerns bushmaster. Frankly after reading it I wonder how anyone gets away with selling the stuff. Please read the report before you use Bushmaster,, I'm just sayin http://www.integralhydro.com/flowerdragon.html

To summarise for those too lazy to read the article, Bushmaster contains a PGR (plant growth regulator) which is banned for use in food crops but because marijuana is illegal it's not covered cos technically people arnt ment to consume it.

All round nasty chemical shit that no amount of "flushing" will rid your buds of (it's persistent for up to 3 1/2 months).

Unbelievable that shit like this goes on. I've used Bushmaster in the past and always believed it was organic. Thanks for posting this - luckily I didn't like the results anyway and only used it a couple times. What I have left is going in the toilet right now.
