I have a 4 ft tal violator kush plant that has fat buds all over it but hardly has any crystals. Im in week six of flower w it. Any idea on what could be going on here?

I'm not familiar with that strain but you could try using either Purple Maxx or Snow Storm Ultra to increase trichomes. I did a test with Purple Maxx on my last grow. I started using Purple Maxx 3 weeks from harvest on 20 of my plants and without it on 4 of my plants. My OG with Purple Maxx was slightly bigger and denser and had a lot more trichomes than the ones without it.

Snow Storm Ultra: http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemMatrix.asp?ic=NEGETSS32&eq=&Tp=&MatrixType=2&sGroupCode=NEGETSSU00

I just started using it last grow and it's a part of my arsenal now for every future grow I do.

That charred outer layer of your steak and burger contain carcinogens too. If there were toxic levels of chemicals or metals then the product wouldn't be sold at every hydro store. Their products show better results than I have gotten with any other products aside from Atami's Bloombastic. Even Botanicare's Sweet has trace elements of arsenic. So does tap water.

All the hype about Humboldt's Own being bad is created by other companies who can't compete.

Cant compete you say hmm... This is all done with J.R Peters about $5 a pound of nutrients that last 3-4 months. I can post a few more up if you wish.
Please show me excatly what your $20-$40 dollar a bottle nutrients produces. That nothing "can compare to it"?
You don't need to feed you plant a bunch of unnecessary crap just to get nice results ;) as time goes by you will learn that.

Ding ding ding! And welcome to Rollitup Square Garden. Tonight's match-up! Nomaninsf vs. sutragrow!

Nomaninsf suggested a product.

Sutra quickly called it poison.

Nomaninsf counters with a swift, "there's a little poison in everything."

Sutra then does the unthinkable and whips out photos of his monster plants... How will this contest end?

I call that funny money...looks like bud, smells like bud...doesnt get you stoned though. Could be bad genetics or an unhealthy plant. I could be totally wrong here but I find the most crystal production with low levels of nitrogen, high micros, and high initial phosphorus finished with elevated levels of sulfer magnesium and potassium. And of course a healthy environment...

Not saying that you can't grow monster plants with other stuff. I grew some of my largest plants ever using only GH 3 Part Flora Series and Kool Bloom on DJ Shorts Original Blueberry back in the day. Just saying that through trials I have found that Purple Maxx and Snow Storm Ultra have worked the best for me for delivering high trichome counts and size. It's not a pissing contest. I was just giving my 2 cents and speaking up for a product I happily support.

Nomaninsf in a surprise move, shifts the conversation to a civil tone. There's nothing to see here, folks... move along.

Hmm that first one surely sounded to me like the start of a pissing contest, or at least a contest invitation?. Let me tell you my friend i have never looked the other way from a good wee wee match ;)

Oh! New development!

Sutra comes back and back-quotes Nomaninsf with a friendly (yet still a tiny bit tense) response!

Maybe I cleared the crowd too soon!

I'm not trying to tell you how to grow your plants so you can leave it at that. Let's not hijack this thread with pointless bullshit. I'm unscribed after this. If you have something to say then PM me.

I've never had to use additives either. I think most of them are snake oil anyway like super thrive and shit like that. I know bushmaster works but can kill your plants with the quickness if you use just a little too much. I just use floranova bloom for veg and flower. Keep it simple.

can u post pics

could be a male, my first grow i mistaked the flower clusters for bud. most any strain will develop SOME trichs with or without chemicals

i know thats a long shot and by week 6 the flowers would have opened by now just with no pics its hard to judge mutch and i personally have made the mistake myself before.

sorry hope i didnt sound like a dick by asking that
