Sounds like you've lost the leaves. It's leaves that drive the flowering response, trichome production, etc., not plant foods or supplements.

Thanks for the reply UB!
Like I said, I'm new to the game. Just wanted to know some reputable choices mainly to avoid buying a product that is all hype and no substance. I realize I dont know as much as alot of the growers on here but I gotta get started somewhere and I'm a hands on learner. I have to do it, to understand it. So that was the main reason for my asking people that have been down this road before, dont want to be a noob forever!

A while back, a buddy gave me a bunch of grow guides on a thumb drive. I got preoccupied and forgot about them. You post reminded me to grab the thumb drive and have a peek. Sure enough the 1st book on the list is the 1992 edition of the Marijuana Grower's Guide. Looks like I have research to do + rep for the recommendation.

That book is a noob's shortcut to success, period. That edition is the one I have, now half price at Redeye Press. What will folks do? Spend $500 on a bunch of crap and fail......when $10 for a good book like Mel's would have insured their path to success.

If you don't understand plant nutrition and culture and need to follow some (ill advised) chart or vendor fertilizing schedule, then you're just wasting your time and shouldn't be growing. The delivery system is immaterial whether it be aeroponics, DWC, soil, ebb/flow, etc. as long as you understand the basics of what makes a plant tick.

Well, I am no stranger to the kind bud, but I only have expreience in outdoor growing. Completely organic, clean soil, seed/cuttings and clean water - that's it. I was yielding over a LB per plant. New age and now security concerns have arisen so, I am moving to indoor. Was thinking LED, but it seems for flowering, HID is better. Tons of bullshit info out there. And UB, I want you to know I have read many of your posts and enjoy hearing from someone who believes in doing it right and not buying into marketing hype. Any personal experience with Dyna Gro? I was thinking about comparing Jack's Classic and JC Bloom Booster to Dyna Gro's Hi-N-Pro 10-5-5 and DG's Bloom Formula 3-12-6. They are relatively inexpensive and don't make huge claims like "get more results than you've ever had"

Another thing I have noticed is every LED manufacturer only has a 30-day warranty or something simiar. For systems that can easily climb into the thousand dollar + range, that's not even enough time to flower, I don't know what to choose, guess I need to arm myself with more knowledge. Fuck I'm only going to have 2 sections (1 with 3 mothers and 12 veg and another with 12 flowering).

I have made mention of Dyna-Gro in many of my posts. It's a great product, especially for soil-less or hydro. It's cheap and complete, a real value. I use the Foliage Pro 9-3-6 and the Blossom Booster 3-12-6. If you have a rich potting soil, then you could go with Jack's Classics.

Good luck,
UB

Thanks UB.

I am new to growing and only had one harvest so far, but I used Root Organics and had good results.
