This will be a long post, gather
supplies now!
Welcome to the Bush my neighbors and soon to be friends! Doc D is in da house! 
This will be my first major post in a very long time, hope it's in the right place
, been raising lovely young ladies for about 6 yrs now. Been reading on here for a long long time, getting the bug back heavy. I'll be using Plant Attitude's Bada series nutes along wit the infamous Bushmaster in my experiments.
Strain- Sour Diesel
Room- 6 x 5 x 8
Setup- Homemade Aeroflos
Lights- 400w hps
Nutes- Plant Attitude's Bada Series + Hydrozyme + Bushmaster Ahh... Bushmaster... ok, this stuff has had me in mad scientist mode for months now. Basically this was one product where I saw results quick, these quick changes in the plant structure made me interested in the idea of controlling node placement just as you would control the size of your plant. What if you had so many flowering sites that you had to pluck and prune actual bud sites for better air flow and for maximizing the best use of the plants energy. What if when you cut her down, the stem in your hands was the only stem part you could see. Sounds great but that's more like the ultimate in my dreams goal.
But I dont dream for entertainment anyway so let do this!
Not to mention Bush also speeds up the flowering time by making the plant think the stretch is over and it's time to produce flowers thus shortening the overall flowering time.
Another large point of this for me is to make the plants short to maximize my light by keeping the lights close not only to the top colas but to all available colas. Keeping the plant under 18-24inches will ultimately give me more weight in the lower 50% of the plant which is usually airy popcorn. To achieve this, one would have to have a hearty mature enough plant to build large colas in the first place.
I want to share my ideas and experimental results in an ongoing thread to master the Bush. I also want to share my ideas with you guys cause... basically, you guys and gals are the shit. Most everything I've learned about raising sexy ladies was built on a foundation of what I learned here first. Thanks folks!
The Stretch
The stretch phase occurs when flowering is induced and the plant starts it's 12/12 cycle and usually last for about 2 1/2 weeks. When Bush is used before the 12/12 flip it helps to stack the nodes tight together, some with less than 1/2inch spacing between. The tighter spacing will give you a larger more compact cola kind of like the top cola, but, all over the plant.
If Bush is used before the flip and not afterwards during the stretch, the plant will have tight nodes at the bottom of the stem and then stretch as normal above that height. This means that Bush should be given throughout the stretch also. The desired node placement is dependent of your conditions (height restrictions, climate, style of growing).
Now, the veg period is for bulking up your plants and obtaining the size you desire for your conditions. In theory I believe that the veg period is the most important time to use Bush properly. The stretch that follows is where Bush should be used just to keep everything where it is. Obtaining a short plant is no problem but proper node placement is critical.
Nute schedule
This is a serious section, this is where all the experiments take place. Everything I've read has told me to use the Bush by itself for a 24hr period without nutes, then switch to your regular nutes at 1/3 and slowly build up to your regular ppms (info is collective as I understood it).
My last two grows I have given the bush along with nutes for up to 5 days at a time in veg and flower with very little burn. The overnuted signs for the Bush are burning from the tips and or from the sides of the leaf and a really tight leaf curl downwards. This could also be a sign of running the Bush for an extended period of time, 5days +. 
I always dilute bushmaster in warm water and let it sit for at least 1 hr, until it reaches room temp by itself. The Bush makes a bubbly foam on top of the res. I usually scoop this out and no problems, the diluting seems to help with this. I'm gonna drop some pics now and lets talk. I have a new schedule for the Bush but I'd love to hear any similar or different experiences with the Bush juice before I post it. The pics are a result of the new Bushmaster nute schedule I've developed Maybe too big of a word for a nute schedule but we'll see!
Just check out the node spacing in the pics below, let me know what ya think...
I just love this place cause I know my peeps gone ride or die!
Thanks for readin my rant!
I'm gonna go burn one, be back in a minute or 15
So let me hear it, Bushmaster...
