Thanks so much man! Honestly I give a lot of credit to MiMedgrower and cemchris for showing me the light with regard to feeding balanced grow ratio base nutes all the way through flower. More N and less P. It's only this grow that I'm experimenting with boosting P slightly before and during the stretch but for 90% of the grow even in flower, my feed is at least 70% grow ratio feed right up to the end. Only in the last week of feeding did I switch to using only bloom ratio (1-4-5) nutes and only at a really low ppm. P never once went higher than K, and I only dropped N back in week 7. I believe that's the reason for maintaining the lush green growth.

Also gotta give credit to the enzymes for helping prevent buildup and lockouts. I think I've had issues with that in the past with some strains and didnt realize it. Using them I've been able to maintain stupid low ppm feed rates and still have really healthy vigorous plants.

Big respect man, when I first see you guys talking about running grow feed all the way and that you had soil feed for coco, pk boost in all the opposite weeks I use at etc, I was thinking wtf is this lol but seen at the start of the thread you know your stuff and have great connections hence I had to make it to the end to see the results and boom the pics speaking for them selfs! I been trying to workout a sort of feed schedule I can follow based on this run you’ve had now as a starting point because I’m having some serious feed related problems and judging by this I’m pretty sure I’ve been over feeding like mad with completely wrong ratios lol but I’ll make a journal at some point next week if any of you fancy a good laugh and can maybe help me turn it around
Anyways keep it up man appreciate the work 👌🏻
Think I’ll find mimedgrowers and make a start on that too but 1st it’s the wife’s birthday today and I’m on bbq duties 😆

It's a journey man. You have to somewhat unlearn some things and eat a piece of humble pie. I'm always willing to go fat boy on that type of pie tho. Just remember this isn't the only way, but this approach def works and good.

Spot on with the humble pie, I thought I knew it all when I was growing easy strains and getting close to gram per watt regularly until I got some much harder strains, a spider mite investation that ending in abandoning a spot and the last year spent head scratching chasing all sorts of problems the learning process is an emotional rollacoaster to say the least lol but I’m slowly moving forwards again and since finding this site seeing how little I really know and how much more I’ll be finding out it’s exciting 😁

Well said man. It is a journey. And there is absolutely several ways to grow cannabis well, there is no denying that. I by no means claim that the way I'm doing it is the best or only way, I'm still in experimentation mode myself after 20 yrs+ growing pot lol.
I think the most important thing is to try things for yourself and find what works best for you, and really only take advice from people that clearly have their shit dialed in. One thing I've noted is that all the people who are really great growers share a lot of the same techniques with some subtle differences from grower to grower. But the fundamentals are almost always ubiquitous.

And like you said, dont be afraid to eat that humble pie!.. Probably the greatest skill I have as a grower is the ability to admit when I'm wrong, and take a lesson from it. Ego is by far the worst handicap any grower who is still learning can have for sure. And any grower worth his salt realizes that the learning never stops.

Dirtman, saw your post about enzymes over on growbro's thread, but don't want to hijack, so ask you here. I have raised beds, that I would like not to dig up each year, but they get choked with roots from neighboring ivy, bushes, and trees. So I have to clear the roots out every year. I remove all the roots, but it leaves tons of little hair like roots In the soil, which are no longer connected to their plants. This year I used the RAW enzymes before planting into the beds. Was kind of nervous about releases too much stuff, so only did half the recommended dose. Do the enzymes help break down these roots, or are they primarily just pruning the dead roots off living plants?

Enzymes will increase the speed of decomp for all biodegradable organic matter. That is, depending on which enzymes are used. I think RAW is a pretty good product though I havent used their enzymes.

Also, and again I'm not sure about this but I think I'm Aquabag now. 🤷‍♂️
Its confusing...

Bacteria consume the decaying matter. Enzymes which are produced by bacteria convert it into to useable food for the plants.

Using both is I think a benefit. Even though the bacteria produce enzymes themselves.

Been so busy with my main flower room and starting a new business that I've really neglected my mother stock. Just got them planted up into fabrics full of crutons, and hoping for some rapid growth so I can take some cuts here soon. White stuff is sulphur. I hit them just in case after I found a plant in my house with russet mites. So far so good..

And my seedling lot over at a buddies house is doing well. He has a large outdoor plant count which is why they are over there...

On the right is my mighty mite x God cross, clearly has hybrid vigor.
On the left is the HBCM, still not big enough to require staking yet. In the back is forbidden zkittles on the left and dragon cheese on the right. They're in low light so getting kinda stretchy... And 7 plants per 10 gallon pot... But we will take cuts of each once we see what's female and who the strong contenders are. They will be split into 4 seperate mini greenhouses for pollination after taking cuts.
