Thanks dude

I actually did have the grow riding at 4ml all the way to week 9 but I've decided to knock it back early to make the plant drink her reserves instead, save myself some nutrients where I can (Cheapskate)

February ay.... Just enough time to throw a couple of 'Sweets' in the corner of your tent, fill it up before you leave

I don't envy you though, moving house is a sucky affair... More little'uns on the way?? lol

Nice ladies there Captain Howdy I really like the Lemon Sherbert "Pure Eye Candy" I haven't seen this strain before (that I can remember) anyways awesome job with this grow.

Thanks J dude, you'll find them being grown here https://www.autoflower.org/f150/
That picture was actually taken on day 62 so there's still a bit of time left on her yet, she smells like over-ripe, close to rotting fruit

Can't wait to see your feeding plan DC, gonna have to pinch a few ideas from you as I'm about to buy the added extras (Root/Heaven and what not)

Dont know if this Q already has been answered and if it is im so sorry for making this post (searched and no founds!)
Ive read that most of the autoflower grower use cal-mag for their plants and im wondering if i can grow with only Bio Grow and Bloom or should i get some cal-mag to?
i live in north Scandinavia and i have searched the local shops for some cal-mag boosters and have not found one..

Smoke well :smokebuds:

Hey algreen, don't be afraid to post a question if you can't find the answer, good to hear you did a bit of searching first :thumbs:

Using BioGrow and BioBloom I've noticed in the 5th-7th week you really need some kind of calcium and magnesium supplement, they don't seem to have anything in them to help with this. I bought my Cal/Mag from Amazon, if that's an option then I'd say buy it there, that'll save a lot of foot work looking for it in the shops.
If not then a cheaper option is to save your eggshells and either slowly dry them out on the windowsill until you can crush them easily, or put them in an oven on a low heat for about 10 minutes. Put them in a bag a smash the hell out of them with a rolling pin or something.
You can either sprinkle this dust on top of your soil or do what I do and use a chopstick to poke deep holes in the soil and fill it back up with shell-dust, this gets it down in the roots nice and quick. (About 2-3 eggshells per 10 litre pot)
That sorts out a cheap Calcium supplement.
For magnesium I either use Epsom salts which you'll find in a health store, they're used as bath salts. I can't remember the correct measurements but I tend to add 1 teaspoon per litre of water and that sorts and problems out.
Another magnesium option is using molasses (Black Treacle (like you'd bake a cake with)), again, 1 teaspoon per litre on every other feed has seen me well up until I bought some Cal/Mag.
A combination of Epsom Salts and molasses is something I often feed to my plants.

Hope some of this helps

My man! Thank you very much for that informative post!!
i will check Amazon and Ebay for some cal-mag but if i dont find any in my economic range i will check that Eggshell plus Epsom/molasses, it sure sounds like a good plan if i dont get any
Ive only seen Blackstrap Molasses, is this okey for mag booster?

And again, thank you Captain Howdy! Your help is really appreciated.:hug:

Most growers use CalMag yes but even more so when they are growing with LEDs there seems to be a bigger demand for it..
I have dropped my CalMag completely and kept my Alg A Mic at 4ml per l from week 5 and ive not realy had much Cal or Mag defs.
My advice would be use grow bloom and alg a mic.(if your not getting CalMag)
