Potency and Organics

The Church...She is a very full plant from early veg. I had to clean up so many thin stems all through veg and first 4-5 weeks of flowering. Took the whole FF line up with flying colors. Fed her on the heavy side every watering and she sucked it up. Stayed healthy all the way through.
Once in flowering she went straight frosted, no waiting. Buds everywhere and semi dense, but not airy at all. It was thick and sugar coated so much that I use all the sugar leafs for awesome butter. You can have mad kief from just trimming her over glass. I scraped my glass and piled the kief on a bowl of Kush. Tasted awesome.
The stone is kinda heavy, not couchlock, very enjoyable. Taste is ok, don't really remember, had many strains.
The yield was over 6 oz.

For hydro, I use the GH expert line which includes their synthetically derived nutrients and some trace elements. Included in their additives are natural compounds like fulvic acid and they have a vegan compost tea that my girls love. For dirt, I like Botanicare with their calmag, liquid karma, Hydroplex and sweet. You'll find organics and synthetics in both of these lines.

As far as teas and soil mixes go, I just didn't think they were worth the effort. I'd use bat guano, bone and blood meals, worm casings, fish meal, all that shiz. I stopped doing soil mixes with my peat-based sunshine mix #8 and started feeding a little more with the liquid ferts I mentioned above. I got bigger yields and my plants were healthier start to finish. The plants also responded better to the liquid ferts and I experienced faster growth. I'm not saying one is better than the next, but this was my experience and why I ended up away from 100% organics.

So far a few things I've picked up on some potency increasing tips are:

Use to judge readiness: pistils, trichs, leaves dying, curling, possible second explosion of pistils

Yeah dude if you wanna grow some chronic with straight organics, you definitely wanna get to brewing some compost tea, with worm castings, bat guano or seabird guano and some molasses. Also add whatever else you're going to feed them. Sounds like you're using Humboldt, they seem like legit nutrients, I would get the Myco Madness on top whatever other base nutrients or some other kind of Mycorrhiaze. Floralicious plus is another really super concentrated organic additive, only need a teaspoon per 5 gallons. This pic shows everything I am using this year, View attachment 1041534 The only thing that's not organic on there, is the Flora Nova and Big Bud, easily replaceable. Super Tea from the Guano Company, would last a whole grow for like 15-20 dollars, but you could buy each of the 3 guano's in it separately and get like 10 times as much

I am on a second grow of The Church. Highly Trich coated and dense buds. Stone is good, still can function. Here are some pics of The Church at Harvest. 6.5 oz of this one.
