I didn’t start the thread to have harsh vibes. I started the thread to find out if there was anything I was missing. Some say “There is no magic bullet.” My response is molasses IS a magic bullet used properly. Kelp Meal is absolutely a magic bullet. Living Earthworm Colony absolutely a magic bullet.
Now that’s my experience. Yours may differ.
Notice I asked the question on the Organic aspect of the site, and I gotta respect those that have their NPK dialed in on the synthetic stuff; I really like Bill Ward’'s YouTube channel and he is successful with General Hydro grows and defoliation. But I can’t dial it in that way.
Organic is less stress, and had someone said, “oh man, you haven’t used Life way Yogurt Drink yet?? You live under a rock??” Then I would have tried it.
But I’m doing all right.
I will say to those who ask for a side-by-side test: I did that in 2011, and right now this is my last grow until October because of the heat where I live, I depend on cold outside air which no longer exists. A 5000 BTU window unit can’t handle a 1000 watt hps.
BUT, as stated above, I still have the Sour Bluetooth clone as a mother plant and a chosen Sour Blutooth male for a future seed project for fellow OG’ers next fall, along with a Pineapple Mango Haze female. I will go out of my way to do a test at that time, side by side. And, I will give a smoke report, some more photos, and some cut and cure photos as time progresses on this grow.
I hope everybody can grow however and whatever they want, and have a great night!!!
