:icon_smile: I have heard many different people refer to the industry standard is about 1 gram per watt. I have consistently pulled around a pound (give or take 1-2 oz) off of one 400 watt light bulb. I have grown for a decade and done everything from Aero to Old school. Closet to commercial. I have gotten out of the production side and now sell supplies to growers. My garden is on the smaller side but what I lack in space I make up for in know how. I have seen many ways to get a good yield using various products available. I have come up with my own mishmash of products that I believe to be among the best in terms of recipes. I understand YOU might not agree with my feeding regiment,but if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything. I really DON'T want anyone saying use GH or AN or organics are better or anything like that. I DO want people with knowledge to give me their input. I would love to have a discussion on my method. All measurements given are ml per Gal!! It is on a FEED,FEED,WATER schedule Here we go my recipe is as follows-
Clones:
Media- Delta 4 No Hole. 4 clones per block.
Clonex Rooting Gel. Straight cuts on the bottom.
Light Cycle: 18-6
I have rooted clones in my dome in 7-10 days depending on strain.
Mist the dome (NOT THE PLANTS) daily; just water
Teens:
Media: Fafard Urban A Mix in a 3.5" Starter pot.
Cutting Edge: Micro 5ml Grow 5ml Bloom 5ml
Orca: 10ml
Drip Clean: .4ml
Hygrozyme: 10ml
Calimagic: 5ml
Amifort: 2ml
Light Cycle :18-6
I typically can leave these ladies in their starter pots for about 2 weeks before they start to get root bound. Depending on strain sometimes more sometimes less.
Full Veggies:
Media: Fafard Urban A Mix in a 8"x8" White Rose Pot
Cutting Edge: Micro 8ml Grow 15ml Bloom 5ml
Orca: 10ml
Drip Clean: .4ml
Hygrozyme: 10ml
Calimagic: 5ml
Amifort: 2ml
Light Cycle :16-8
I veg under a t-5 for 4-6 weeks depending on where my flower room is. I have to top these ladies multiple times just to prevent them from growing into my light. Make sure you keep a close eye on these babies because they grow like crazy!!
Transition:

Cutting Edge:Cutting Edge: Micro 8ml Grow 15ml Bloom 8ml
Orca: 10ml
Drip Clean: .4ml
Amifort: 2ml
Bombadier Sugar: 3ml
Light Cycle: 14-10
I will keep my ladies in transition for about a week.
Early Flower: (Weeks 1-2)Flower Setting Stage
Media: Fafard Urban A Mix in a 8"x8" White Rose Pot
Cutting Edge: Micro 8ml Grow 5ml Bloom 15ml
Orca: 5ml
Drip Clean: .4ml
Hygrozyme: 10ml
Calimagic: 5ml
Amifort: 2ml
Bombadier Sugar: 3ml
Open Sesame: 1/2 tsp per gal.
Light Cycle :12-12
Prune off ALL the under story that will be in the lower canopy. Those flowers never get very big and just take resources from your prized tops. These plants will grow double in size when you flip them. Make sure you have ample height for your ladies to grow. For long lanky sativas use LST or super cropping to avoid plants growing too tall.
Mid Flower: (Weeks 3-5)Flower Bulking Stage
Media: Fafard Urban A Mix in a 8"x8" White Rose Pot
Cutting Edge: Micro 8ml Bloom 20ml
Orca: 5ml
Drip Clean: .4ml
Hygrozyme: 10ml
Amifort: 2ml
Bombadier Sugar: 3ml
Big Bud:8ml
Light Cycle :12-12
Early in this phase you should place your bamboo supports or trellis. Your tops will start to really bulk up and they have pretty much set their space. This is the key phase for putting on weight, make sure your plants are happy and healthy. Don't go over 1400 ppm!!
Late Flower: (Weeks 6-7)Flower Ripening Stage
Media: Fafard Urban A Mix in a 8"x8" White Rose Pot
Cutting Edge: Micro 8ml Bloom 20ml
Drip Clean: .4ml
Bombadier Sugar: 3ml
Bloombastic:2ml
Light Cycle :12-12
This is really when oil production is kicked up. Make sure you have ample P and K for proper flower set. This stage is often overlooked as people are trying to still put on more weight. Using certain products for example shooting powder actually causes the plant to "reflower" which WILL degrade strength of overall product by delaying maturation.
Final Flower: (Week 8)Flower Ripening Stage
Media: Fafard Urban A Mix in a 8"x8" White Rose Pot
Cutting Edge: Micro 4ml Bloom 10ml
Drip Clean: .4ml
Bombadier Sugar: 3ml
Bloombastic:4ml
Light Cycle :12-12
The last week of flower before the great flush I water heavily with Florakleen to flush out my media. I then dial back my base nutes to 2/3 strength and amp up the bloombastic to 4ml. If you do not flush before doing this you will notice a burn almost immediately. Some of my friends don't do this increase, but I swear by it.
Flush: (Week 9) Flower Cleansing Phase
Florakleen:10ml
Molasses: 1 TBS dissolved in 1 qt warm water
Light Cycle:12-12 for 4 days
!!LAST 3 DAYS NO LIGHT!!
My final process is something I had been taught by an old farmer who has grown more weight than most people will ever see. He showed me how much a plant can kick up its oil production if it believes it has lost its chance to reproduce. By doing so the stress response is amazing! You will have tops that "glow" under black light because of the thricome production. Basically water the hell out of them before switching the lights off for good. You will notice in three days time your containers will be completely dry, some plants might even be wilting a bit. But its definitely worth it in the long run.
There you have it. Any questions or comments please let me know. Will post pics as they are taken.
Pic 1 is 4.5 weeks into flower 2 is 4 weeks 3 is 4 weeks from a different angle
