FD's Guide to Growing Hefty Autos in Small Places.

Ok guys i have been dragging my knuckles on this for too long. This thread will be dedicated to my actual grow technique. I will have everything in here from the way i germ seeds to the way i harvest and everything in between.

ill cover my soil mixes, teas, water adjustments, feeding schedules as well as the recipes for the soil and teas that i use. My goal is to teach how to grow the bud lumps you see in the small pots i use. I feel if you use this you may have the same success that i do when it comes to autos in small places.

Bare with me as i will update this on the regular, but will be locking it to get it all organized.

Thank you FD for sharing it!
KS

any time KS and i am glad that it has saved you from devastation :thumbs:
i am also glad to see that people come back to share. its one thing to post something that works for ME, but when you come in here and share with the rest, thats feedback no money can buy.

Plus it makes you feel like a mad scientist with all your different concoctions bubbling away in the background.

funny you say that Andy, my 5 yo nephew stumbled into my area one day and saw the water bubbling cause it sits out (plants are hidden, you have to know where in the wall to look to find the door ) and since then he has called me "The Mad Scientist" I kinda laugh at it cause i like it

It does make the difference eh?! I was really shocked how much you notice the difference in overall plant vigor. I find i have less PH issues as well.. Maybe it's the air bubbling keeping it in check, but i haven't got out the ph down in months....
It REALLY kicks the shit out of photo strains too.. You can get in a couple extra waterings Vs. a normal schedule, since there is so much O2 in the water.

On a side note.

It works well for veggies too. My tomatoes this year were bloody massive.. The plant bent the metal tomatoe cage it was so heavy....

thanks for the share mate :thumbs: and you are right the whole reason that this was devised was to end my over water habbits. I figured that hell of the roots were getting destroyed because there was no more o2 left in it, then add more. Little did i know what it was going to do.

I use it on everything that is plant life now that i tend to. I have results on everything from MJ to peppers. It was the only thing that i used on my Blue Hash plant. It was in a 2 Gal container and yielded just over 6 oz :booya:

I just got some bubble stones and air pump for my reservoir!

The back of most of the bottles say 2teaspoons for regular feed and 3 for heavy feeding. I never use the 3teaspoon regimen. 2tsp is ideal for a 1/4 part break down.

Week
1 pH water only

1.5 add in Big Bloom to the mix at 1/2 tea spoon

2 1/2tsp Grow Big 1/2 tsp Big Bloom

2.5 3/4 tsp of grow big

3 1tsp grow big and 1/2 Tiger bloom 1/2 tea spoon Big Bloom

3.5 1/2 tsp Grow Big 1/2tsp Tiger bloom

4 1tsp Tiger bloom 1/2 tsp Grow Big

4.5 Clean pH'ed water to clear out salt build up

5 2tsp tiger bloom 1/2 grow big

5.5 1 Teaspoon Grow Big

6 Begin Flush for the final weeks. At this point i can flush for a week before i begin to see yellowing of the fans.

I like to leave enough time to get all the salts out of there before the harvest. This stuff WILL salt up on you and cause build up and lock out.

Hope this helps some of you out there and remember this may vary to your application. This is just MY feed schedule.

Hey guys, total newb here.

Could someone help me convert FullDuplex feeding schedule for use with GH FloraNova Grow and Bloom?
I cant get a hold of foxfarm nutes here in Australia and this alternative has really good reviews.

Thanks

so my understanding from this thread is that the bubbling eliminates the need to ph your water? or do i have to ph it before or after the bubbling?

 

[surffreak23]

If you're talking about pure tap water, the bubbling usually (not always depending on minerals in the water) gets it close to PH neutral, but will not level out a nutrient mixture. With nutes in the water PH up or down may be necessary regardless of bubbling....

you still need to ph it after bubbling just mix your nutes bubble for 24hours then ph it

bubbling adds extra oxygen into water for the roots

 

[boontoon]

so you add the nutes before bubbling? or can i do it after?

 

[sniper]

here's what i do i use rain water put it in gallon milk jug put nutes in it bubble 12 hours check ph the adjust it with vinegar to go down or baking soda to go up then bubble 12 more hours check ph if its between 6.4 -6.8 i use it if its off i adjust it then bubble 6 more hours check ph

My Organic Teas

Yeah yeah i know i have had request after request to post some of this info, but if i give it all to you shits then who is gonna buy the book?

This has to be one of the best ways i have ever fed my gals. They respond to it and i rarely burn a plant and its easy to make as its composed from the same things that my soil is.

The Mix

1 gal of water....pH at this point does not matter its going to be all over the place.

2cups of cow compost (manure), make sure you do this out of nose range of others, It will stink.

1/2 cup Blood meal
1/2 cup Bone meal
1 cup of baby food
1 cap full of Liquid Seaweed
Tablespoon of Slag (pH balance, has lime in it)
Tablespoon of Epsom Salt

then i mix it heavily and then bubble it for 24-36 hrs. Then i strain the mix out and then cut it between two gallons a 1:1 ratio. 1/2 distilled or rain water and 1/2 gallon tea.
