you should really look into hps if it is at all feasable. you will have a much better result. sensistar is a very dense flower, cfl's just wont do it justice

Glad to hear my friend the SS will be getting a dose of that next feeding which should be sometime next week....dude i used the nova flora on my 1st grow and and the nova bloom worked beautifuly
For bloom plants will get SPT (super plant tonic) Flower Power (FP) Advanced Nutrients Bloom product. Umm Foliar Harmony when needed. Oh and I have some bat guano that is high in phosphorus that will be made into tea to be used during regular waterings....

interesting idea with the bat guano idea. ive never used anything but worm castings to make tea. ill be happy to see how it works.

Yea I was reading through some of OhSoGreen's threads and he talks about it in there. Thats where I got hooked on the BMO products.....here is part of a post from him
Making tea ----Get two similar size containers ( a bucket, a pail or large jug ), add a gallon of unchlorinated water, pour in what ever manure you intend to use. Pour it from one container to the other a couple of times - twice daily for three days. Let settle for one hour, pour into your feeding container.
Bat Guano (Either - Higher N or P) 2 to 4 tablespoons per gallon of water.
Bunny Poop - one cup per gallon of water.
Cow Manure - three cups per gallon of water.
Chicken Manure - one cup per gallon of water.
Worm Castings - 4 tablespoons per gallon of water (people argue about this one the most0. They say more, more is better. I disagree - the NPK value of Worm Castings is only .1 % N (soluble) & .9 % (slow release) with a NPK value of only 1-0-0 Worm Castings will not be adding any real amounts of NPK. What they will add - trace minerals & benefical microogranisms (good bacteria & fungi) so, 4 tablespoons gets the job done.

Thats also a lot of different nutrients there lonely. You shouldn't need to use all those different products, they each should hold their own. The BMO line is awesome I know from experience. It works great by it self, when using the super tonic be carefull on adding nutrients with it. Its like molasses its helps the uptake of nutrients and is supposed to be used by it self. It just seems like your going a bit over board on the nutrients. Just my .2c

the alternatives in nutrient selections..... and the various reasons to use this or that, or mix them so...... sigh.....
I am under the impression that the list of additves and their mix ratios was to give examples of materials that could be used and their maximum concentration levels in making a tea, not that they should all be combined in one mixture like that, because the list of potential ingredients and their relative concentrations can go on and on and on...... but possible making individual gallon mixtures and then mixting the gallon mixtures together to create an overall nutrient concentration via this compound tea...... which is them spread out by mixing it by some ratio with your watering schedule....... I have seen much mixing and matching of nutrients all over the site..... but it is very rare to see the precise reasons why, aside from "to get bigger/better buds", without specific reasons regarding their particular indivual characteristics or qualities..... soil is a complicated environment to use, but can be greatly beneficial if maintained properly........ media such as coco perlite hydroton etc provide for extremely controlled root environments so plant development is different and more focussed or concentrated based on what precisely it is fed, and how...... and its reactions to variables such as light, airflow, etc etc.
to have a degree in ethnobotany with a focus on biological reactions would be very helpful in understanding a lot more about the various reactions and processes involved with both methods of growing.....
I don't posess such a degree...... but some day
And I have dabbled enough to understand the basics

time out.....guys that was just a post from someone else on how to make different mixes of teas.......The only TEA I WILL BE MAKING IS BAT GUANO HIGH IN P AND THATS ALL! lol
lonleysmoka
Active Member
TLD, I too think that these were each their own tea and is the max concentration..... I can see how people thought thats the tea I was making..... Like I said I am only using bat guano.......lol sorry guys for the mix up.

I noticed that each one was an individual tea....
I went further to explain how these teas could be mixed properly to make a super concentration similar to fertilizers you buy in the store

Well I thought about that to a certain degree but figured I should just make sure these first few girls make it through their life.....I noticed that each one was an individual tea....

yeah exactly..... that's why I posted that that level of mixing should be done by a "trained professional"..... my advice to most is KISS...... until they reach an experience level that they feel completely comfortable playing botanist

Those pics of the plants look good lonely, everything else coming along good.
I guess I need to start controlling my PH.......Uhhh.....

only if it needs to be controlled/adjusted ...... when my PH was really high.... I just added some nutes to bring it down worked like a charm

I should be putting up some right now if the gf doesnt nag at me while I am doing it lol.
From dictionary.com
pH
Chemistry
. the symbol for the logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen ion concentration in gram atoms per liter, used to express the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a scale of 0 to 14, where less than 7 represents acidity, 7 neutrality, and more than 7 alkalinity.

My guy....I dont know what to say. I was like WTF this guy has mad rep and doesnt know anything about ph LOL......tack one up for the stoner moment.
