sorry never thanked you for this info. i appreciate it a ton.

let me make sure i got the list right here.

-Molasses
-a Hygrozyme equivalent
-Budswell (is this the brand or any kind of PK booster)
-Then silica, which can be added to the soil or as a liquid feed?
-Then the maxicrop or nitrozyme for foliar feed. do i ONLY foliar with this?

Your welcome. I should have also mentioned just sticking with canna. Looking forward to seeing how the biocanna works for you. I got a friend that uses canna and is loving it.

The choices really depend more on if you want to try and stay as 100% organic as possible or not.

Don't let the teas intimidate you. Some thing like budswell and molasses can be used in a tea or alone. (Basically you mix up a batch of nutes but then add a air stone to it, then let it site for a few days)

Unsulphured blackstrap molasses. Note the name. Has micro nutrients in it as well sugars. Add to a tea or water 1x a week. Grandma's, Brer Rabbit, Plantation are afew brands that are in the supermarket by the syrup or in baking goods.feeds the soil and also provides some micro nutrients.

hygrozyme yes.

Budswell is one brand of bat guano for flowering
Here is what it looks like.
http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Budswell-Gallon/dp/B0001WV6KU

There are other brands as well. Just giving the basic info rather than information overload. You can use that to try and stay organic based.

Silica can be done either way. Purchased as a additive or added to the soil. Some soil/soiless mixtures may already have silica in it.

You can use the nitrozyme or maxicrop in the res if you like. nitrozyme is expensive and Lasts alot longer and seem to be effective via foliar. note it is strong alittle goes along way. Schmoe turned me on to that one.

Nitrozyme is a seaweed/kelp product. Maxicrop/kelpak/nitrozyme are just different brands of products that contain Ascophyllum nodosum. fancy word for seaweed/kelp.
1x a week works good or after taking cuttings or transplanting. I find it gives the plant a boost.

Stop foliar sprays by week 3 of flower. You can keep it simple and not do any foliar sprays. It is nice to see the difference and decide for yourself.

and one thing im confused about the teas is that all you use to feed or do you feed from bottles too? seems like your really need to know what your doing to make a tea that can support your plant solely.

ill take a look at that forum but im intimidated, saving money sounds good though.

You can feed with teas only or combine them with bottled nutrients. Yes can take more experience and learning but you will save $$ in the end.

Is worth a read where he explains the teas and what he uses.

If you got the $$, and since you already invested in canna. You can keep it simple and just get run the bioboost by canna. Then you can do a foliar if you like.

Did not want to make this difficult just let you know the other organic options.

Run the entire canna lineup and you covered. I would add cal mg because of r/o water.

whole. canna lineup not 100% organic
bioflower veg/flora + bioboost + cannazyme + rhizotonic + canna pk boost.

bioflower veg/flora + bioboost. all organic.

Hope that helps.

trimmed up my oldest blue dream, 8 weeks 5 days into bud i believe. no root bound'ness at all. anyone know why the bottom of the soil is all white like that? its all hard too...

Subbed, to get some construction tips for the room I'm building.

Wish I could help you out with the white stuff at the bottom of your pots, but I don't know soil even a little bit - that being said, I don't believe it's a good thing and almost looks like some type of fungus.

Anyhow, keep up the good work.

dude that was my though exactly! like some kind of bacteria down there. about halfway through my grow i switch from top feeding to bottom feeding with trays. and with that hard white shit at the bottom it would never suck up and nutes like that, i sprayed water on the bottom and it just beaded off. im like damn that is definitely not sucking the water up like it should. im gonna add some perlite on this next run i think. and when i put the soil in the buckets originally i pushed the soil down real good and packed it in there on the advice from a friend who had never grown indoors but now i dont think i should of done that. i like the pot to dry out quicker, makes me believe the plants just sucking the nutes up that much better.

Second Blue Dream = 46.8g

Afgan Goo = 50.6

Soul Train = 40.2

Total from these four = 186.8 = 6.5 zips roughly = 0.41 lbs
