Not much love in this thread right now
anybody got any ideas or ways they run the almighty Bush juice?
Anyways here's we goes...
Here's how we do it in the Bush!
The nute cycle in the veg will depend on how large of a plant you want but I"ve been running 1/2 teaspoon of Bushmaster per gallon with 1/3 strength nutes for 4 days with little burn.
On my next set I'm lowering it to 1/4 teaspoon of Bushmaster per gallon with 1/3 strength nutes for 3 days to see if I can get the same shortening results with no burn.
In my ever changing nute schedule I like to give them 4 days with no Bush @ 1/2 strength nutes. The idea is to stack nodes as new growth forms while the Bush is cycling. The days off allow a stretch of some sort which seems to occur over the entire compacted plant.
Veg Cycle
So if you veg for 4 weeks lets say. I would run your regular nutes for week 1 then begin 3 days with 1/4 teaspoon Bush @ 1/3 strength nutes and 4 days off @ 1/2 strength nutes, off and on for the next three weeks. Using Bush before the flowering stage also speeds up the time of flower production. The plant doesn't put much effort into the stretch and therefore can focus on it's next step, developing bud sites.
Now that part is going to build the plant super structure for your mini bud empire.
Flower Cycle
This is when the plant normally stretches for the first 2 1/2 weeks. I think that a lesser dose of Bushmaster during this time would easily keep the stretching reasonable. I'm running 1/8 teaspoon Bushmaster per gallon for 3 days @ 1/3 strength nutes. I"m running this once at the start of the flip and once starting day 10.
I'll keep ya updated.
