No additives, no jungle juice, no cal, no mag, NOTHING…1 tea per TVF!!!

I do not PH my water, do not PPM my water, straight from tap…BUT, big butt…lol…YOU MUST let the water sit out a day or 2 BEFORE you use it on the plants…dissipates crap out of it. I have a 30 gallon garbage can I keep in a bathtub, lol, and fill it, dip from there when I feed. Water HAS TO SIT out at least 24 hours, 48 is better .

As you up pot, same deal. 1 tea per. The TVF WILL take care of the plants, you have seen that in my pics I assume. All you do is water on time(with feed) and give them plenty of light, TVF will do the rest.

The NPK values and ratio of TVF is fine for VEG. Run it all through your veg cycle. When your ready to flip, go ahead. Stay with the TVF for 1st 2.5 weeks into the flip!!!

NPK…this will be a quick simple gloss over…all you really need to know.

N is for like for summer…Nitrogen grows shit above the soil, the leaf’s the branch’s, her stems. We want a higher PERCENTAGE of N during veg and 1st 2 weeks of the flip. WHY…cause she is STILL IN ABOVE GROUND GROW MODE…she wants to stretch, grow tall, throw leafs and secondary branching. SHE NEEDS N to achieve that. WHY we give her “veg” food for 2.5 weeks into her flip.

If we changed to “flower nutes” the N would be too low for her to do that, she wants HIGH % of N in ratio to P and K, she cannot find it…confusion!!! We do not want her slowing down…always forward, so we LISTEN TO HER, and provide her with a High N ratio!!!

Do not get caught up in the #'s…!!! All the shit boils down to this: Fuck PPM and exactly HOW MUCH N or P or K we are giving her. SHE WANTS AND THINKS IN RATIO’s…SEEN IT, been there, have the T shirt, lol!! The RATIO of NPK is what matters most, we give her what she wants.

P is for roots, think mid summer, and summer…below the soil growth. The roots dictate our HARVEST, just the way it is. WHEN she is ready to make some sticky stuff(about 2.5 -3 weeks AFTER light change and STRETCH IS OVER) her needs change!

She no longer needs the high % of N(she needs N but not much, and in a LOW ratio to P and K) , if we keep her on Veg food, or go to a high N % nute(like most are) we shall grow LEAFS, NOT BUDS!!! Many dark green leafs, lots of stems, wimpy buds!

At week 2.5 - 3 we want to stimulate below soil growth(roots) to set up for large buds. At that point we will change nutes over to one that highlights P %…

Basics:

Veg at 2/1/1…2/1/2…3/1/1…3/1/2…(NPK)…so HIGH N %!
Early flower at 1/3/2…1/3/3…1/4/2…Higher % of P than N or k!
Mid flower…1/3/3…1/4/4…pushing both P and K %'s !

K is fall…K is Bud DENSITY/SIZE. As we enter FALL (like week 7 or so) we want to PUSH K ratio…

like…what I did last run…1/2/5…really working on Bud size and density.

All the time…same deal 1 tea per…only changing the NPK ratios, PPM staying consistent.

I know it is quick, a lot to take in, but it will come to you. ONCE you get the N out of your flowering, and whack the P and K value’s AT THE RIGHT TIME…you WILL SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES, your growing will forever be changed .

You got that all yet???

Call the store see what they GOT YET???

Your cuts will be there Monday, PLEASE do not place them in the Fox Farms .

IF YOU HAVE TO…mix up some TVF at 1/2 tea per gallon and run 5 gallons of it through each pot before placing my ladies in it…LMAO!!!

From week 3-7 this is summer
Now we are going to change the npk ratio as we want to promote budding and their density
Now we use 1/2/2 or 1/3/3 or similar
Say week 3 to 5 1/2/2 and week 5 to 7 1/3/3 as an example

So now at week 7 ( start of fall ) we have built up our plant with dense tight buds and some of the the calx are now just starting to fatten ,swell , ripen , this is the sign for the start of fall , now we change the ratio to suit

Fall equals pushing k , k is for the ripening of the buds /flowers , so 1/2/5 or similar and also reducing ppm/ec till end too

Dont worry about the cuts @Jetdro. They will go into my aerocloner until i get the soil mix you explained. Sorry i havent responding. Been busy running the kid around town. Lol. Im still here and soaking up every bit of it. Thanks for being so detailed. Thanks to you as well @ifish

85

@Jetdro im gonna make that trip to the big city to the grow shop to get needed soil supplies tomorrow. Get the texas veg food ordered on amazon today as im sure they wont have it. Saturdays are the only days i can make it there as there open the same hours i work.

86

All is good man, I understand!!!

Just read it slow, its not rocket science.

Everyone is worried about PPM…how much N PPM do i have, how much P or K.

FUCK ALL THAT SHIT…does not matter if all the NPK in the world is in your pot, what the PLANT WANTS TO HAVE is correct RATIOS!!! Get the ratios correct, and the timing correct, plants will show you just how much they love it.

87

Good call, they will not have the TVF…MAKE SURE YOU ORDER Texas Vegetable FEED…NOT Texas Tomato Food, or any of the 5 other ones…Texas Vegetable Feed.

If you get it Sat, you will have time to mix it, let it stew a bit, get the TVF BEFORE they need to be planted.

Go the bigger bags of the stuff as you will like what you see and will want to run them all in that mix .

We can cover the Flower nutes later on. I changed this round to Jack’s. My 1st run with it, but should be fine. 4 weeks in now, in another 2-3 weeks time I WILL KNOW if it is what I shall stay with…in time for you to either do it or go another way.

88

Okay. I was just about to say that different npk ratios have been mentioned but not a different bottle or bottles to achieve this. Lol. I will get the veg rocking and then we will worry about the flower nutes. Sounds like a good plan. So far, this sounds pretty damn straight foward. I like the not phing part. I switch to AN ph perfect last flower round because of the thought of not phing. Me likey!

@Jetdro. I know they have the RO, and atleast the promix. The have a large selection of bagged organic soils so they probably have the #4 as well. Gonna grab it tomorow along with a bag of worm castings. Texas veg food is ordered and will be here tomorow it looks like. Im on my way to foward growing.

From what you just said there…you get it!! You got this shit, make it easy, cause it is!!! It is a fucking plant, we were born smarter…well, most of us!!!

Forget veg, TVF covers all of veg…no need to worry about ratios, TVF has you covered till 2.5 weeks into flip.

This run I am using Jacks for flower. It is stupid CHEAP. complete, and mixes well. It also will creates the ratios I want.

I am using 2 parts. Their 10 30 20 and the 5 12 26.

10 30 20 or 1/3/2…from your new knowledge, lol, 1/3/2 kills it for early flower where we want to have N low, and P at a 2 or 3 to 1 ratio with it…so at 2.5 weeks in I will switch to straight Jacks 10/30/20…same 1 tea per. Perfect fit here.

As we get into mid flower, I will start to mix 50/50 with the 5/12/26…the 10/30/20 when mixed 50/50 with the 5/12/26 will give us a great 1/3/3 ratio, again near perfect for mid flower.

As we get into later flower 65 weeks or 7 weeks in, I will go STRAIGHT 5/12/26…or 1/2/5…PERFECT low N and big % hit of K for making HARD BUDS!!!

I have NOT run this set of nutes before, but last run was with off brand nutes, AT THESE RATIOS and you saw the results. The Jacks should be just fine.

28 days in it is looking good so far. Will prolly make entire flower cycle with the Jacks…

I wish i could give posts more then one like. This makes total sense to me. Ive seen the jacks 321 threads on other forums before and never took the time to check it out. This almost sounds too easy. I am actually going to start a new topic about my transition to foward growing documenting my hopeful progress along the way. I hope you and fish stay close by and guide me!

@Jetdro. Looks like i made a mistake. The vegetable food was not on prime. So im probably gonna be waiting until the end of next week before i get it. Bummer. I planned on rooting them in my aerocloner anyways. Ive always had best success with my aerocloner. Which is damn near 100 percent.

94

Just be careful and stick to this plan. NOT using their 321 system, but 2 parts of it only. Not in COCO or hydro, so no need for the Calmag either. Makes it super simple.

Why we do not de fol either. There is a member here who just yesterday posted his poor plants, 3 weeks into flower, with EVERY SINGLE LEAF PLUCKED OFF!!! Bare cept stalk, stems bud sites.

His response, they will grow back and make bigger buds! REALLY!!! So while they are wasting all their energy growing back leaf so they can have photosynthesis , who is making Buds!!!

THAT my friend, is NOT forward growing, what your about to do is!!!

Get the soil made correctly, let it stew a bit, let your water sit out 2 days before use, put away all the meters and such. You need a teaspoon and a gallon pitcher, your set!!!

Your ok, will take 2 weeks for the AH to root, she will about DIE before throwing roots. You will see. She is a handful to get rooted,

BUY A BIG CASE OF LITFA while your at the shop. KEY to rooting, set them right, then MONOGBONGO THEM…

@Mongobongo…then GIANT LITFA!!!

I got my measuring spoons. Teaspoon and half teaspoon to be exact! A gallon pitcher. Big ass bottle of LITFA on hand for when needed. And three 5 gallon buckets for letting water set out. Im ready to get this going.

Also the only place the plant can now regrow these much needed leafs back , is in the buds , at a distance the finished buds look great but on closer inspection they will be very leafy
Defoliation coupled with too much nitrogen in flower will make this condition even worse

PERFECT!!! We will actually go up a bit, like to 1.5 teas around week 6 or so, depending on how they look with the Jacks.

WHEN you get to the 1/3/3 ratio part…mixing the 2 nutes, THEY MUST BE MIXED SEP, then combined.

1 tea of 10 30 20 to this gallon…1 tea of 5 12 26 to that gallon, then combine together!!!

The ppm must rise as we grow but because we amend the ratio also , less of a ppm increase is required but still because of the ratio change we are still pushing harder every time
We slightly push / rise ppm , but the biggest push is the npk ratio for what we want and what the plant wants for that time , no confusion , full power to task at hand
