I hope so - I’ll be very happy to use mine that way when I get to that project later this year (during my spring

Yes, 30gal is what I had meant ?

That question mark at the end really skews the answer
Or as Sue used to say- it totally skewers the answer.

The sprayed PC after ten days in the flowering room. The GA treated branches stretched fairly extremely, which I expected from reading Celt’s experience with it. Now the tips and edges of those limbs are kind of drying up and frying a bit too. We shall see how it goes with them....
A normal unsprayed tip on the left side by my hand.
Chopped a Carnival tonight. This is the original first one I ever sprouted, which smells like lime. This strain has never let me down. I am happy to see my plants getting more sticky again after the Mega Crop days.
I am starting to hit issues with my new mix, and the Carnival I was posting as the test case is sort of going for shit a bit now. But overall my plants are all still doing so much better, that... I can handle it.
I’ve got so many things going on in the grow right now, and pending, that I’m a bit overwhelmed thinking about it, but I will have to get in there and try to somehow sort it out soon.....

Congrats on the carnival harvest, WC 
I’ll try to keep up a bit more. This is interesting. My latest GA3 reversal attempt is close to 8 weeks post flip and starting to settle into flower. Lots of weird morphology happens. I’m still waiting for boy bits propre but seeing encouraging signs. If you can keep it hydrated and healthy s/he might just deliver for you.
What nutes do you find best for resin production?

Thanks DD. I ran through your journal a little bit. I will spend a bit more time there, when I get some, and try to see a timeline of how things have gone with your GA. Eight weeks seems like an awfully long time.
Damn. I sort of wish you had not asked that...
I guess the short answer is - I just don’t know. I am working on it.
A few of us have started mixing our own soluble nutrients and are trying to find the ideal formulas, mainly by trial and error. So while I have a fair number of ideas and theories floating around in my head -most of them are just that and not really worth typing out.
I do know that Mega Crop did not agree with me and produced a greener more leafy dry bud. Whereas now even though I’ve had some leaf damage from my weird mixes, the end result buds are very nice and sticky again. My assumption was that the high N levels in the mega crop are to blame, but that could be wrong too.
I’m just about to do a few side-by-side plants with different mixes, tweaking the NPK levels to see if I can figure out more. The subject is so boring for anyone who’s not struggling with the same shit, that I don’t know if I will bother posting much of it. If there were a bunch of people doing it I would start a separate journal for it, but I don’t think there is much point for the effort involved.
I’m also trying a couple other strategies now including an organic granulated fertilizer, and also trying to pull together ingredients for a LOS mix. I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up just growing organically in the future.
Mixing the hydro nutrients is pretty fun, but not so much when there are issues and your whole grow depends upon it.
Ideally I would have at least half of my grow happily doing its thing without a lot of experimentation, while I mess around with different mixes on the side, in the name of science and for fun.
I should really get around to planting these sooner but have been busy..

Thanks WC, but you’re missing nothing more than sporadic mentions of this current GA3 trial from roughly new years’. Health things have kept me from things lately, but I shall put some photos together. It really is looking strange.
Damn. I sort of wish you had not asked that...
You’re welcome. 
I switched to mc while too crook to cope with more than a one part feed. It got me this far. I never thought I’d see the end of the bag. That was 18 months ago. A friend (@Dohc007
) had a bag stopped at the border, so it looks like I’ll be back to bottled nutes of some kind at some point.Mc does kind of force a one-size-fits-all thing on a garden, and sometimes that isn’t what’s needed. Probably by the time I’ve run out I’ll be a better gardener. It’s been a comfort having training wheels while I’ve been getting my balance.
Yours is one of the names up here that carries a lot of cache when it comes to getting stuff done. Just btw.
Write, and readers will follow.
(Easy for me to sit idly by and say, I know. Time is valuable. Balance in all things except balance itself. 
Or something).

I noted what you guys have been saying and thought it over. I dialed back the mega crop and pumped in 1ml /liter of awesome blossom. Let’s see if these babies juice up.

My studies lead me to believe Sulfur and Magnesium both contribute to resin production. Epsom has both of those elements and is found everywhere, but if you add it to your program, use care not to give too much as the added Mg might antagonize other cations, calcium in particulr, but also potassium to a lesser degree.
Edit - A combo of Epsom and Gypsum would likely give the added umph desired.

I have been working on giving away my mega crop, if anyone is in Canada and wants a pound or two. I still have about 7 pounds left. I’ll save a little bit for whatever but doubt I’ll use it much.
Some people are having great results with it and their plants look perfect. I don’t know if it’s my error, or a bad batch, or some other random quirk, but my results were pretty mediocre.
I am fond of complaining about my plants though- been doing it here for about six years now, lol.
Here are a couple in early flower that still look nice, though the lower growth is starting to show issues.
The other Carnival pheno. This one has a minimal sort of generic scent, grows larger and more vigorously than the other one and is a bit more frosty.
Some of the lower leaves. Possible phosphorus deficiency? Maybe a spot of fizzstasium disability? A phostasogen fediciency? Just regular curly- looking weird-coloured leaf syndrome? Stick around another six years friends we will try to get to the bottom of this.
Maybe that will be my next journal ‘Weasel gets to the bottom’. *
* To be followed by the exciting sequel ‘Weasel emerges from the bottom’.

I had really good luck with MC in soil last run. I did 2 beautiful ladies and a “composter”. This run in coco, they dipped south on me in week 9 (about week 4 of flower). I won’t beat it up too hard because I don’t typically follow the fool proof coco methods. I run the lazy/broken man’s grey line of “good enough”. I swapped over to GH Flora Trio+ and they are finishing strong. I will give MC another crack in DWC and it will be my veg nutrient in coco. It’s appealing because it’s cheap.
I’m sourcing the amendments for Sub’s super soil slowly. I’ll cook a batch outside this summer and give it a whirl in the fall if I have some clones worth trying it on. I should have 12-15 seeds through flower by then so I should have a couple good options. I’m scared to death to bring all that “shit” inside my house. Lol
As always Wease, your plants look great, you’re projects are interesting, and your thoughts are appreciated! Peace brother

Thanks Spitz. That’s cool you’re trying organics as well. I‘m really looking forward to it. Water only! A big shout out to Celt for coming up with the recipe

Speaking of which I’d better get some sleep before birdies start chirping. Goodnight. Zzzz
Back in my grow book knowledge days my plants looked like a meteor hit the Earth next to 'em, but I sure did know a lot 
Then I started using processed chicken poop. Now my plants look halfway decent, but don't ask me why; I don't know $hit. Funny how that worked out.
