Southern gulf islands BCSweet! Where is that?
I spent my youth throughout the gulf islands and I claim to have been on them all. Some I cheated on where I hopped off a ferry then ran back on to go but, Galiano,Saltspings,Maine ,Sauturna,Quadra,Corteze, Denman and a bunch more I've forgotten were my stomping grounds in my late teens and 20's.Southern gulf islands BC

Ya 8 months of bad weather followed by 4 months of weather the locals complain about. I'm a freak here, liking the hot weather and being more active on the hottest days has my neighbors scratching their heads. Sure the young like the heat but the ones with initiative leave for greener pastures. So we're left with miserable old folks and most of them hate the heat and humidity that comes with it and I don't, so I'm the odd ball.Having started in NS and ended up here in my late teens, I'm not sure I could ever move back to NS. Like you said the 8 months of garbage weather does a persons head in. The people are nicer back east though. There is that.
Paid a visit a few years ago on an Alaskan cruise. Spent a few hours riding the buses and a few hours at the gardens. Love that place but way too cold for me to live there. My back would lock up in the cold.Southern gulf islands BC
^ this..The other thought I had was cull the giant gorilla glue thats about 3 weeks into bloom, harvest the romberry and I would have all the room in the world in both bloom & veg tents, and it would enable me to start running smaller plants!?
You are going to have to start throwing up some Ska music with a floor like that. Just sayin
I like to too but wondering: do you change the formula for flower vs veg? I cannot find any instructions for flower...so the sodium light is not going to let me show the beautiful green color of this Indian bubble gum (Indiana Bubblegum X Bubba Kush), and you know my lazy ass is not going to drag it out just for a picture LOL but that's not the reason I want to post the picture anyway..
I just did a mini flush, w/ about 25% runoff, I do it every so often, but with the Master Blend my runoff is just unbelievable, it was 6.5 / 472 PPM! And my plants are so happy like this! :)
I noticed I'm feeding a lot less and at a lot lower PPM since I started using the Master blend and I'm having no issues at all!

I like Masterblend much better than GH flora where I was always adding calcium/magnesium and feeding at very high PPM (and consequently had very low runoff) often chasing one deficiency or the other and sometimes both! I haven't added calmag once since I've been using Master Blend, it's a game changer! :)
I haven't yet but if I did I would probably cut it with Peters Bloom booster 10-30-20 or some other PK product but I tend to like to feed balance nutes through most of flowering, I simply increase the PPM if I feel it needs it but I haven't fed higher than 500 (maybe once or twice when I started with it I fed 700 but didn't need it) and then perhaps the last 2-3 weeks I'll begin to feed at a lower PPM, and the last few feedings over a week or ten days or so is plain waterI like to too but wondering: do you change the formula for flower vs veg?

No calmag or no extra calmag? I was seeing a deficiency in a few leafs at about 2+ wks.so the sodium light is not going to let me show the beautiful green color of this Indian bubble gum (Indiana Bubblegum X Bubba Kush), and you know my lazy ass is not going to drag it out just for a picture LOL but that's not the reason I want to post the picture anyway..

It's almost too much fun!? ;) ..haven't touched the Cal Mag bottle with the exception of a couple older plants I sprayed once or twice in the old soil mix, but with the combination of the richer soil blend I've started using (or even the experiment in the Pro mix), everything fed with Master blend is totally hands-off..! I luv MB!No calmag or no extra calmag? I was seeing a deficiency in a few leafs at about 2+ wks.

I had 3 leafs like this one, this being the worst, on 12 plants so I caught it early. I wasn't giving the proper percentage of the cal.
I mixed up one gallon of each at 2.4gms of the tomato and cal and 1.2gms of the Epsom then started using 1/4 cup of each, mixed with water to make up a gal. 1/2 cup of each with water makes a full recommend amount.
I'm now using full strength on the month old plants and will start the new seedling when they pop with 1/4 cup and work up.
MasterBlend ROCKS!
Basil in MasterBlend Kratky pot.
