I've got Dutch Passion Blueberry:-o It is at its beginning stages of budding and has lots of hairs!
I am already feeding it FF tiger bloom... FF big bloom and brers unsulphered molasses..

Is there anything else I can use for
Yield? taste? color? resins?

I already plan on a 2 week flush with molasses and not giving it water for the last few days then a 3 day dark period.

this plant is outdoors and the medium is soil.

any and all comments are more than welcome

You May want to go out and buy a 3 part solution. Fox Farm makes this..Also General Hydroponics which I swear on...and Advance Nutrients which i just switched to... In regards to Yield, Nutrients can only go so far, Genetics and Lumens from your light are the bigger factors of your Yield...With Taste, there is a lot talk whether different additives can actually make your plant taste better...I have tried Advanced Nutrients Sweet Leaf and Botinicare Sweet Citrus...I cant say they change the flavor like they claim. However they do help with the production of carbohydrates which helps flowering. Color you cant change with nutrients, you can change color with your temperatures...during the last few weeks of flower you can drop your temps to 55-60 degrees to bring out a purpleish/blue color. Resin production is the same thing along your yield, based upon genetics. However there is much debate about giving 3 days of lights off prior to harvest to make a resin frenzy. Ive always done this so i cant say its true or not, you can also drop your lighting down to 10 hours for the last 2 weeks of flowering too. I tried this with a white rhino variety and I saw a resin increase in thise but just by a small bit. Good Luck :weed:

Contrary to popular belief, marijuana produces its own tastes, colors and resin.. You don't have to add those, just water and fertilizer..

thats is very true but unless your using soil with tons of nutrients in it than your not going to get the full potential from your plant....would you starve yourself of store bought cheese/meat/vegitables to be all natural?? I wouldnt....There are all organic ways to go about nutrients but I dont have any experiance with it....heres a link to my local shops website...they have very experianced reps and know all about organics, a buddy of mine works there and he uses all organic nutrients, he told me that you can sell bud to med. shops and its legal because the law states you can re enburce yourself for soil/energy/etc. and they test it for nutrients and they pay twice as much for all organic,so that must mean something ...give em a call but dont say your growing bud because there not allowed to help you if you are...Tommato plants are exactly the same though.... GOODLUCK! =)

The one bit of wisdom I grabbed from that is that knowing how to grow tomatos etc. really helps with this game.. How many farmers do you see applying Sweet, or MonsterGrow etc to their fields??
It is true that in soiless medium you do need to supply more than when growing in soil.. Its my opinion that there is no way to duplicate 'everything' soil offers without it, so I wouldn't bother trying when growing for the connoisuer, but you can grow for the connoisuer in soil without the money grab gimmicks..
BTW I'm no organic purist.. Organics are good, but so are salts when used properly.. And if you need to spray some agent orange here and there, then so be it.. <JK>

haha point takin but just because you tell the rep your growing tommato plants under a 1000w hps in your closet doesnt mean there stupid and dont know what your talking about...half the reps are growers and its for legal reasons they cant help marijuana growers...anyway all I know is that before I started using bud blaster and super boost i yeilded about 1 ounce per plant and after I started using it that number doubled along with trich numbers and size... Also the grow terra nutrient took 2 weeks off my veg cycle due to the plants growing so much faster...2 weeks of 16 hours of 400watts...wonder how much energy we would save if we all cut 2 weeks out of our cycles ???


BTW I never said I wasnt growing in soil because i am
