Which has better yields, more colas or beefing up fewer colas

5 hours later.... I still got to check bud size... I used a ruler earlier(I got photos)

They are definitely responding... All of the plants leaves have perked up...

 

[Mcsketcher]

Well my photos with the ruler are kinda useless. I didn't take the time to make sure I could recreate the angles for comparative purposes... Better luck next time..

 

[Mcsketcher]

So this is another 4 hours later... Man, they are really getting bigger... It's kinda crazy

 

[Mcsketcher]

That looks really cool.

I agree whole heartedly. But I've always liked pretty colors... Doesn't take much with me... The baby faced sun on the Teletubbies would have me drooling on myself in half a second flat

22 hours later... From the photos I think it's hard to tell with the buds but there's no mistaking the difference in leaf posture before the milk shake and after. Milk is the only new ingredient. I've been watering midweek with 0-0-17 for a while. That's not even her main feeding. I do that on sun. I use Dr Earth's feeding regimen...dry amendments 1 week liquid the next. I supplement with a tea I brew. Nothing I've fed my plants before has gotten such a dramatic and immediate response. Compare the leaves in the before photos. It's unmistakable... I've become a firm believer in the efficacy of using a bit of milk

 

[Mcsketcher]

Also, I haven't mentioned this yet but I use dirty aquarium water for my plants a lot. I have 10 aquariums so dirty waters not hard to come by... I pH down it though. It's usually 7.8 in the tank

Plant does look very good .
How much milk ?

10 tanks , do you breed fish ?
What kind if you do .
I've been into fish most of my life and have had 60 aquariums totaling well over 1,200g going at one time .
I am just running my 180g freshwater and 120g marine tank now .
I sold my fish all over the country for years shipping direct to customer with live arrival always guaranteed .

I did 1 cup milk for all. I think I should have done 2 for the plant in flower. I gave her a pint last week and I saw a bigger response. I didn't give it to the little ones last week.
These are the only aquariums I've ever had. I don't breed... They're purely for aesthetic purposes. My largest is 55 and it's full of tiger barbs... Love those little fuckers

The two hobbies go well together !

I concur!!! Lots of eye candy too. I'm easily distracted so I just get lost in my own apt watching what's going on in their worlds. Fish tank drama is real

I just cleaned my son's fish tank and gave my houseplants the poo water... they enjoy it.

Try a cup of milk and a tbsp molasses mixed with it... I think you'll be suprised

I just might... might wait till they're outside though... is there a best stage to do this? Whole milk?

doesn't water from fishs contain alot of nitrogen & other stuff, too?

Depends how dirty you let it get, but yeah, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, amonia, microorganisms... if it's really dirty the ph will be high, all depends on your tank setup.

I don't think so... I've read different things... Actually, skim or 2% is supposed to be better if you can't get raw... I don't know why... I meant to look it up. I've only applied twice but the results were immediately visible... This is before

 

[Mcsketcher]

This is 22 hours later... Though you could see the difference within a couple of hours

 

[Mcsketcher]

This is right now. About 32 hours later. I don't know how well it comes across in the photos but the leaves have gotten 25% bigger in a day

If you're worried about smell... What I did is mix 1 cup milk with 2 cups water and pour around plant. Then I gave it a good watering (a gallon with 0-0-17 mixed in) so the milk all went into the soil. No smell at all

I mixed a tbsp molasses and a tbsp barley extract in that shake as well. I mentioned it earlier. There's some other stuff mixed with the 0-0-17 water... Also listed above
