here's some info about montys if you are interested ...A broad use root zone foliar plant food which is high in essential major and trace elements. This formulation promotes new growth, root and top growth and larger foliage

Monty’s most active ingredient is a new molecular structure called Humigin.

Humigin is a lightweight molecular structure that is incomplete, therefore creating a “hungry molecule”, giving these product properties unlike any other plant food.

The abilities of this unique structure are quite phenomenal. First, this product enables a plant to access more area of soils with a much larger root zone. Second, this product wants to attach itself to nutrients previously thought locked up in the soil, therefore making the plant much more efficient. So efficient, the plant will be able to access amendments already in the soil by approximately ten fold. (example) Calcium for instance. Instead of the plant up taking 2-3%, the plant can up take 20-30% of the amended product.

Extra benefits of Monty’s reduced molecule structure is the ability to attach itself to most herbicides, pesticides and fungicides enabling quick trans-location throughout the plant to the root zone with increased efficiency.
(Always conduct a simple jar test for compatibility).


The Application of Monty's has shown a more advanced root system versus those not treated with Monty's. These observations have also shown that a plant better utilizes applied systemic herbicides, pesticides & fungicides.



Monty’s contains very little salt and will eventually lower the need for large amounts of lime on the soil that results from using large amounts of dry chemical fertilisers that contain high levels of salt.

The processed humic substance, that is unique to Monty’s, acts as a buffer to prevent burning and enables both applied nutrients and nutrients present in the soil, to be better utilized. there you have it .. good luck
 
Hey thanks heaps for the advice and info ... :)

Will be sourcing some Monty’s Plant Food tomorrow for sure. I just had a little Google and see plenty of sites so shouldn't have too much agg obtaining.

Cheers

A few more pics ... :)

To the untrained eye, apart from some yellowing of the bottom leaves, everything seems to be going ok?

Hey Smoko they look good! You can always add more light, but you probably already knew that. The only little problem I can see is that they have a slight nutrient burn- the tips look burnt. Did you just feed them? If they get worse you might need to flush them- and next time you feed use a little less nutrients. How long have they been flowering?

They've been flowering for 3 weeks now, but NOT getting any nutrients!! ... so no, not just been fed!

I can't add any more light, but they ARE getting 6 odd hours per day of some of the strongest sun rays out there!

All I can do for now!

HI sorry didnt see this b4. Got a lil pissed last nite this stuff sounds good dont know F.A bout soil growing but its got what you need 4 bloom.n a pic of NL the day it got chopped note the yellow leaves plant was in perfect condition n a realy great smoke 3.5 0z off this plant alone but vegd for 5 weeeks
 
ive done some outdoor grows here in OZ and i use "professors' plant food. get it for any decent hydro shop. It's always served me well... just don't over do it and you'll be fine.

pics look good, if you're getting nute burn i find giving them a 1/3 strength mix sucks out the existing food in the medium while still feeding them. less is more :)

they appear to be 'stretching toward the light tho. I would probably look at some different sort of reflector, but thats for next time.. not much you can do now.. just my opinion

Thanks for your input ... :)

Yeah to be honest we're just happy they've got to this stage. It's all a learning curve for us, but now we see we CAN grow sommit that we'll hopefully enjoy smoking. We'll probably source out some more suitable seeds mabe. Who knows!

Anyway, an update for anyone interested.

Currently 4 weeks and 5 days since the 2 went into flowering.

They're starting to smell a bit now ...lol, but the plant that we've always called No1, well it smells weaker than out No2. No1 smells more fruity we think, but no2 def smells more skunkier! (if a word ...lol)

Either way we're chuffed as I say.

No3 has been on 24/7 light but recently showed hairs on it's own ... :confused: ... and as 14" tall now, we've thrown her into the 12/12 gang as you'll see in the pics.

We're giving bloom nutes every other feed and at a 1/4 strength. They've had 2 feeds so far.

No1 & No2 are getting 4 - 6 hours of decent sunlight at the mo. I think they like it! ... :D

So a few pics.

Pic 1 - The three together,

Pic 2 to 5 - Plant No1

Pic6 - Plant 3 that goes into flowering tonight,

Pic 7 - 10 Plant No2 (along with it's little critters ... :mad: )

Oh and I know "more light more light!" ... but with the given circumstances, it's all we have.

SERIOUS consideration is going into getting a 250w HPS, but we'll see how we go!

Thanks for looking.

Thanks mate appreciate the call, but we've been using that Potash stuff now and so far so good! ... :)

To be honest with replies on here so poor I'm pretty much doing this alone, so in the hands of the gods if it works!

I know these plants aren't gonna be to their potential, but it'd be nice to get the odd comment to know if it looks like we'll make it. As I say I wouldn't know!

Oh well.
