hey paperplane,
1st. let me say congrats on your grape ape. one day i hope to get that and run a side by side with GDP to see which one i like more/ if they are different enough to keep both based on stone/medical use.
OK, i'm gonna address something that has been in my mind a long ass time, but i have never posted on until now.
" From what I noticed you can throw alot of nutes at the ape. "
I HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF STATEMENT FOR YEARS NOW AND EACH TIME I DO I THINK THIS.
what a plant can handle so far as nutes should always be based on what the plant needs, not a certain amount of nutes that they can tolerate.
so basically we all should be shooting for the nute strength that gets us the healthiest plant response, so far as look and growth features are concerned. what i'm saying is nothing new, but it
seems out of al the boards i have been a member of or visited the sock em to em nute idea always seems to be a matter of conversation, that is misguided in many, many posts.
too many of certain nutes are not good and can make the plant suffer from nute toxicity, which is obvious to most growers with a decent amount of grow experience .
same as people, who take too many vitamins, most extra vitamins just get pissed out, others cause toxicity and with it negative side effects to our bodies.
dialing in a strain takes time obviously, and the easiest part of that dial in to gauge imho are the nutes since we control them along with the environment we give them. changing both affect our finla out come usually...
keep at it paperplane,
i like your set up too btw. those buds look nice
