Day 8 of flowering

Jacks girls still on the left, AN girls on the right, nice even canopy, no problems or issues noted.

Time to do a little defol to get more light to the growth tips and open up the canopy a bit, get rid of the leaves laying on other leaves making wet spots.

The CS treated solo cup plant, she is literally covered in silver from the sprayings.

Starting to look a little hermy, spraying CS twice a day.

Is that with lights on?

With lights off, I spray in the morning an hour before lights come on and in the evening after light turns off.

@Hellraiser

Thank you for sharing all of this!
Did I miss a previous explanation in how to use the CS? I mean prior to spraying plant?
I scrolled back but might have missed it.

@Hellraiser you take the colidial silver that’s can be a but expensive using colidial silver , it’s like $65 for a 20z vial? I don’t want to know what that would cost for one plant .

I tried CS 500 PPM and diluted it down to 50. Sprayed multiple times a day and nothing. I’m going to try mendocino twenty 20 sex reversal spray next time. Granted I was doing it on auto flowering plants but still, no balls.

I spent $35 for 8 oz of CS which is enough to do a plant or 2 for 3-4 weeks.

Yeah, not a sure thing unfortunately. I’ve done it twice before and it worked for me both times but a couple friends tried recently and failed to get any balls. If this does not work I will try STS (silver thiosulfate solution) on next attempt.

Amazon is quick, got the Tribus Original today and will start giving it to the Jacks girls tomorrow morning.

I will try giving Tribus (to the Jacks girls) and Voodoo Juice (for the AN girls) for the rest of the grow and see what happens. I’ve always stopped giving Voodoo Juice after the first 2 weeks of flowering (following AN nute schedule) but I’m always up for trying new things, giving a microbial constantly would be something new to me so why not and see if I notice a difference vs my standard way.

I will be using Tribus at 1ml/gallon. They say to use it twice a week or even every watering if desired. We’ll see what it does at every watering. I’ll be doing the same with Voodoo Juice to try to keep it fair as possible. So rest of this grow will be microbial overload LOL.

Someone asked earlier if using microbials is worth it? How can you argue with Proven Results

+15 % increase in dry yield sounds good
Not sure if I need more steam diameter - they probably meant stem LOL

Are you adding the tribus to the jack mixture, or separating it?

Im going to go with your nutrients. Is there a place where I can go to to study jacks? On how to mix it?

I have read good stuff about it. Could you give me a good recipe for soil? With what you use. I believe most of your stuff is hydroponic I believe I’ve seen you grow in dirt before. I’m not Digging the smells anymore. I’m not going throwaway what I got but I will discontinue the use. I do see a farm store that has jacks 321 but they sell it in a big bags.

I will just add it to the Jacks mixture last.

Watch this video a few times, everything you want to know about Jacks.

Same Jacks recipe for soil but after the nutes have been depleted if using something with added nutes. I use Jacks in soil (Happy Frog) with my clone mothers and houseplants, everything gets Jacks, only difference is ph, 5.8 for the plants in coco and 6.5 for the plants in potting soil.

Can get 4lb Jacks kit on ebay to get started for cheap, this is the one I bought first and still have plenty left after about 9 months of using it.
