GREEN LIFE BIOTICS TEST/REVIEW

Defol and lst Day 72
Did a defol, cuz it was necessary… and spread them out a little more. Shoulda been on the cleaning out earlier but didn’t realize how dense the inside was. The Mack and crack following breeder time is 77 days and 84 days for Apollo black cherry. So next feed will be reduced ( not doing a full flush) and flush amendments will be introduced.

Noticeably more yellow in just one day. Taking away the Enhance and Micro didn't help the situation. Looks like a potassium deficiency but not really sure. I upped the base and P/K and see what happens

I looked at your other thread post as well did you say you ramped the Brix57 to 3 mLs? Once you get over two except forthe last week or so it can lime out your plantwhen using the Brix57 it’s just so potent that we are thinking that that higher Brix57 is where the there may be additional lockout of nutrients as there is so much biology going on and it lasts longer when in soil. I would cut it back to 2 ml if you still have time left. The shit is just so potent we did tests on plants that we went week 5 and doubled the dose on an every other day feed from 2 ml to 4 ml and within 4 days the plants completely lost color so we really don’t take those numbers too much higher than 2 ml every other day unless 10 days or less in soil as we have not pin pointed the reason for the loss of nutrients.
it may just be as simple as the Brix57 Ramps the biology up soo much it just needs excessive nitrogen to keep up but some of that must be biology using the nitrogen as a food source as well as more biology in the pot.

we just are not sure at this point. I would drop it back down to 2 mL and definitely just cut the enhance the rest of the way.

I stuck pretty much to the 2ml but I have been feeding with every watering at twice a week. I'll have to try a feed, Water, feed schedule next time.
 
Update- Day 78 GLB/ non GLB side by side
Update day! Day 78 for the testers and control. Started flush amendments last week but M&C GLB tester will get the chop today as she is all cloudy with about 5%amber she looks wonderful and delicious! They all do… I’ll try to keep my shit together and post wet and dry weights of the plants as they come down and get dried.

Man she faded beautifully! And the trich density is awesome. Excited for these!

Buds
A total of 175g or 6.25 oz. of very potent smoke. All in all, an easy grow with great potential. In hind sight, I could have been a bit more aggressive with feeding. I didn't really use anything other than the GLB addatives, what ever is left over in the reused super soil and a couple of feedings of Maxigro here and there. I still have one more plant finishing up as part of this tester but I will definitly be looking to add GLB addatives to all my future grows.

As far as the other girl goes, I think I slowed the yellowing by upping the base nuitients to EC 2.0. She seams to be doing better. Still 2+ weeks to go although a quick look at the trichs says she's close.

M&C GLB harvest
Just got done with cursory wet trim, just remaining lg fans. Will do a dry trim when dry. Wet weight is 431g! Will update with dry weight next week. Left buds on stems for drying.

Buds are super dense and aroma is a creamy lemon zest with sweet& sour smells intermingled. No, not like Chinese chicken! Lol more like sour patch kids candy!
 
Well my hygrometers are reading 50% humidity after I just got new batteries and ran test to verify before putting in to check my buds. Drier then I want so will add Integra Boost 62 pack into containers to slightly raise it up some before I jar this up. But since I was checking everything I brought up the digital scale. The empty Rubbermaid container comes in at 1 lb 3.2/3 oz so double that I’m 2 lbs 6.4 oz for the empty containers. Now weighing the full containers I have 5lbs 2.3 oz. Subtract the empty weight and I have 2.7 Lbs of bud that I got from this Root Beer Float sitting in front of me. Tell me I’m not wrong on my math.

Final thoughts
While growing it was a pain in the knees adding the product to the autopot trays, I really didn't see any noticable difference between the GLB plants and my normal MC plants while growing..and now that I'm cleaning and getting ready for next round I can say there is a lot more residue in the trays and valves.....That being said, from the 3 Sour Stompers I got more than a pound and still not finished with trimming the 3 3BOGs....so best harvest ever so far as I normally have right at a pound for the whole tent....GLB or genetics or a combination, I don't know....I'd say it is a good product and recomend it for those that really like to micro manage their grows and do top feeds to get the most out of each plant but for laid back growers using autopots or similar, maybe not so much.
Thank you for letting me be in the trial...

Thanks, and that is probably how I will present it to the site as if not using the original Enhance MC it may not be worth it from the microbial side if not trying to puish plants, but if just applying the Micro DS micronutrient and Brix57 sugar that can be adjusted to less often to give additional terps and trichomes and resin.

We do a lot of farming so nutrients are pushed through in a season but if sending small bottles in the summer when its hot it will activate the microbes as we put them into suspension, and we can't control the mail and if its sitting in a hot van all day. So basically we will probably look at only sending out the microbial in larger qualities not during height of summer and or recommend putting in fridge to cool down. Microbes are best under 70 degrees but if they drop under 50 they will go into suspension as well and slow down.
