Controlled Environment Agriculture by Shrubs

Week 3 day 7 in the office.

Due to my cheap ass not wanting to buy the CannaBoost,
I have been using Humboldt Honey which is basically molasses.
Molasses, being extremely high in calcium has locked out Magnesium,
not very significantly, but there is some slight margin curling and miscolorations.

I have now purchased BioBoost because i still dont want to pay 120 a liter for some
Sugar extract. So i payed 95 for a carbohydrate additive which should hopefully correct
This.





Im puttin together the shelf in the Warehouse veg room, and just picked up
2 designer 4foot 4 bulb T5HO fixtures and will be attaching them.

Bud Candy is really good for carbs. I still wholeheartedly think you needa take out that middle light and save some money Pretty damn sure your buds will come out just as good.

No way, 2 600's for a 4x6 area? Which would we prefer, 50 watts/sqaure foot, 75 watts/square foot. 75 is as standard as it gets in the professional horticulture world.

Bud Candy's main sugar component is molasses, like carbo load by AN, which is the same as Humboldt Honey.
I would have similar problems.

I appreciate the input tho.

Suit yourself Just trying to save ya money. I'd recommend at the very least to use just two next grow and compare buds and weight. I'd put money on that middle light not doin much for the cost. I recommend Bud Candy because my hydro store owner who has tested all the carb supplements claims Bud Candy is best. And he is far from an AN fan. I've used it now too and can say it works very well.

Happy growing.

Im sure he is. There are no absolutes, and no bests. Only what works for individuals.

I do not go around claiming anything is the best, giving people suggestions to use them.
I reall appreciate your attempt at helping, but really, think about if, im experiencing nute lock
Out due to a product why would i try to remedy it with a similar product.

As for the 2 light experiment, ive been growing under two lights for over a year in case you havent read
That far back. I added this 3rd light like 3 weeks ago and this is actually the "experiment".

Well, obviously you need to flush before you do anything. Then if you're looking for a carb product, I suggest Bud Candy. The owner is a friend of mine and when you test things side-by-side I think you can get a pretty damn good grasp of which product works best. Most products in the same category carry a lot of the same stuff, but it isn't all the same: e.g. Hygrozyme, Cannazym, Sensizyme.

And I hadn't read back that far, sorry. Right on for the experiment.

Bud candy will cause the same lockout as humboldt honey. That is the problem.

Too much calcium due to molasses locks out magnesium, canna coco nutes arent balanced
to have molasses incorporated in to it, i might as well switch to AN. Barf.

I hear ya. I use Canna Coco nutes with Canna Coco and use Bud Candy just fine. And I know the person that feeds the plant isn't a variable that matters to the plant. Could be the strain or other additives or amount, of course. I never use the recommended dosage of anything.

Cool man to each their own.

I couldn't be happier i actually bought the CannaBoost,
No joke these CSD's didn't look this good until today, the day
after my first use.

But really, my energy bill was 150/month for the past year, i added a new
1400 watt ac, and a 600 watt HPS and my bill was 180 this last month,
In my opinion, $30 a month extra spent, trying to get an extra half pound every
month of the year seems to be a rock solid investment.

For sure, man. 30$ is quite a bit cheaper than I thought it would be. Glad to hear it's workin out

Gettin there. We'll see what we can do with it!

That is so sweet! Are all your plants in soil? I, for some reason, thought you were doing hydro.

I run coco in my office space, and have been for a year.

I came in to this warehouse and my predecessors had their plants in sunshine #4,
which Im really not a fan of. So once my crop is being run Il be in coco at the warehouse,
running a lot more plants. 155 flowering at a time

what strain is in the warehouse and how long do you veg for? also did you top them?

We got some Pre98 Bubba Kush, Sour Kush, Headband, Schrom, and some Jackie Onassis.

Vegged for 5 weeks, hopin for 6-8 zips per plant

Office room, week 4 day 3 flowering











Theyre so very healthy. The 4SD's will be joining them in the flower room shortly.

Things keep goin this way and il have colas longer than my arms

So glad my genetics are rocking for you dude. Lovely detailed log of all the escapades around. Setup at the warehouse is looking far nicer bro, Ill make it in there before I take off, or try anyway. Everything looks on point, Im impressed. You will have buds easily as large as your arms with those flower clusters forming nice, neat, THC glazed colas - Clearwater Genetics-
