KOONS, you still dont't fucking understand I was harvesting over a 10 week flowering period. I had several setups that I would combine to reach the 64 plant level. Magash, I wasn't fully truthful, I kind of forgot that I was clipping branches to help keep the spear but I was gifted several clones from my good friend that grew rather compact and he said he bought the from online originally. Also, I swear I remember reading a published article about birth control boosting growths. To be 100% honest I did get a monster plant that grew taller than my hand can reach which is 8ft plus it fell over and I staked it and it continued to grow about two arm lengths. I promise I will record all data this summer and attempt to recreate it and if I cant you can ban me.

I had a grow like this a year ago. I built an aeroponic system out of 4in pvc and 1in pvc that gave each plant 6in^2 to grow in. It had 64 plants and was 4x4ft, I grew each plant to 3ft and I used a hybrid so I would get long thick main buds with not much branching so the light penatrated very far down. I could easily pull a few ounces a plant and I harvested about 13 plants every week.

You know, I think if you just show us some of the results of one of your indoor grows you would stop getting thrashed like this.

I'm not calling anybody a liar. I have some major problems with some of the claims though.

In order for this to happen there needs to be way way more space then 4x4 this is not going to happen in terms of a kilo every few weeks.

and your only using a 250watt and 2sq feet of space.

You should never mix bottled nutes together by themselves before adding them to water. Always add nutes to water separately for best results.

Yeah in fact with most nutes, if I'm not mistaken, there's a specific order you have to add the nutes to the water to get optimal results.

Well, things are looking up. I got a much higher quality PH tester and am now managing to keep the PH between 5.6-5.8. The plants look much healthier.
I am still interested in trying out the Flora Nova nutrients. But, I have a bunch of the B.C. stuff left. Is it possible to vegetate and do the first two weeks of fruiting with the B.C. stuff and then empty the resevoir and finish the remaining six weeks with Flora Nova? Or will the two types of nutrients clash and hurt or hinder the plants?

Oh, and another thing. I am feeding four times a day during the light cycle at 15 minutes a pop. Is that enough? Everything looks pretty green so I assume it is, but I thought I would ask anyway.

Ok, I'm back!
I bought the FloraNova Bloom and Grow and am looking to get started. But, I am still a little lost. I looked at the back of the jug and the chart posted in this thread and the listed amounts per gallon are not the same. Also, when it says "add 12.5 ml per gallon of water" how long does said nutrient solution last? Does it last one week and then I have to add another 12.5 ml? Or does it last longer?
Here's my setup:
Week 1: Start one week of pure vegetative cycle with clones.
Week 2: Start week 1 of budding cycle.
Week 3: Start week 2 of budding cycle.
-I use a mild mix of vegetative and fruiting nutrients that carries the crop through these first three weeks. I then empty and clean out the resevoir for the start of Week 4.
Week 4: Start week 3 of budding cycle.
Week 5: Start week 4 of budding cycle.
Week 6: Start week 5 of budding cycle.
Week 7: Start week 6 of budding cycle.
Week 8: Start week 7 of budding cycle.
Week 9: Start week 8 of budding cycle.
Week 10: End week 8 of budding cycle and harvest.
-I don't have the ability to empty the resevoir every week. I only do it at the beginning of my vegetative cycle and the beginning of week 3 of the budding cycle. So, any nutrients I dump in there from week 3 of the budding cycle and on are going to stay in there. Of course, I am worried about toxic nutrient/salt buildup. During the last week I don't empty the resevoir of nutes, but I do add a bunch of fresh water to do the whole "last week cleansing thing".
I think I need somebody to hold my hand and give me step-by-step instructions as to what I should do exactly week-by-week.

you mix new batches of nutrients. or at least you should.

I realize that is optimal. But, I do not have the ability to empty the resevoir other than the beginning of week 3 of the fruiting cycle.

I've grown literally 100lbs off 1 plant in 2 weeks of flowering, using nothing but cat piss as a nutriant. And that was after I nuked my seeds in the microwave.

if that's the case you have the option of topping off your reservoir.
I believe there's a section somewhere in here about topping off your reservoir.

I think I need somebody to hold my hand and give me step-by-step instructions as to what I should do exactly week-by-week.
First thing I can say is don't use 12.5 ml per gallon of FN Grow more like 5 to 8 ml per gallon is enough, man.
I would also say find a way to change out that res, if not invest in a PPM meter to help prevent from over feeding.
I use FN myself and when starting feeding on new seedlings, or clones ready for feed I start with 2.5 ml per gallon the first week, then move up to 5 ml every week after for veg.
As for the first week of blooming I use 5 and 5 ml per gallon of FNG and FNB, and before I started using all the extra boosters I would run 8 to 10 ml per gallon FNB up to flush time.
