Thank you Mel It is what I have, and it has never been used even know it is old technology. It was given to me, and I am thankful I have it.
It should work well for you.

I just left the grow shop, and I am using General Hydroponics this year. I just bought there Maxi Gro for veg. I used Maxi Bloom on one plant last year and it worked well, also it is so easy to use. Maxi Gro for veg and Maxi Bloom for flower. It is that simple one or two teaspoons per gallon water. Being one or two teaspoons, I can still figure how much works best. Now I have to order a tent for my seedlings. My wife already asked if I am going to spend a thousand dollars this year. I told her a couple hundred is all. We will see.
It all adds up quickly but it’s like Shedster told me once, it’s an investment that will pay you back for years. CL

I am a retired old man, so I have to make every dollar count and I do not have a lot of those dollars. Plus, I am cheap old man.

OK I ordered a 24x24x36 tent and should have it by 2-12 If this does not go over bad with the wife I may just try an indoor grow next winter. I will start with the seedlings first. When she sees it does not take up much space I think she will come around. I hope so. This is going to be cool. I know I will need a fan at some point so I will get one at some point.
Hey Keith
I use Maxi too, love it. I use both in flower 1:1 ratio until week 6 and cut the Maxi grow and just use the bloom.
I just use one teaspoon per gallon or 5 grams max. A little bit less in Veg of course.
Be well Cap'n!Thanks Keith and it’s true that I have made some posts. But I still haven’t made a decision about returning. I’m also a member of an International growers site and I haven’t decided if it might be a better option. CL

Thanks, Sparkey It will be my first time using only Maxi grow and bloom the whole grow. This stuff is easy to use, and I am glad to know you use it as you have great plants.

I have to say Maxi has some big shoes to fill as I used Rx Blend last year on two of my plants and it was the best grow ever till the rot took over. I mix the Maxi and let it sit for a day, so I am sure it all dissolves before using it. Not sure it is necessary but that is what I did with the Bloom one plant. Good to know I only need 1 teaspoon. If it works for Sparkey I know it works well. I cannot wait to get started. I may start as soon as I get my tent, so I get a jump start on veg. I know it will not finish any faster by starting the earlier, but it will get the bigger before they go outside. I am excited to use a tent instead of just my purple light. I will first have to figure out my light and how to use it and hang it in the tent. The tent will look a lot neater too. On 2 - 12 I should have the light. I am getting closer to an indoor grow. Hopefully my wife will come around with an indoor grow of 1 plant next winter. Sparkey I hope you do not mind but I will be asking questions about using GH nutes.

We have sun today and we have not seen it in weeks. Sun and blue skies what a beautiful thing. The Pineapple Chunks I will grow this spring says it is PM and rot resistant. I hope it helps keep the rot away. I would hate a repeat of last year.
No problem brother anytime.
Yeah, the Prescription Blend was badass. Wish they were still around that's why I went back to Maxi. Just cheap with great results.
Cheers buddy
On the plus side, you can run the tent with the flap open for seedlings so you can just put a regular fan pointing in.
Well remembered!
I thought you wanted them smaller this year to make them easier to handle/train/deal with pests/moisture. I may be misremembering though...

No Shed you remembered correctly I did want them smaller, and I thought they would be as they are mostly indica. I do like large plants, but they are harder to deal with so maybe I should wait and germinate my normal time around 4-20. I really want to grow but not shoot myself in the foot. Thanks for the reminder.

Going up to Washington Ma for a venison dinner my cousin Brad got a deer this year. He is also a great grower so I will have a lot to talk about and see what his grow plans are. I gave him 2 plants last year and if he wants some this year I can germinate more for him. Maybe do 6 seedlings. This way I can give him 2 plants and my brother In-Law 1 plant. Hopefully I can get 6 seeds to take.
