I only ever see problems from it. If you're already dialed in with feedings, a well build soil, or both... don't mess with it.
Not saying it's a universal rule for everyone, but it's a hard rule for me based on 14 years of growing.
I use tons of slow release amendments in my outdoor cannabis. Bone meal, blood meal green sand, etc just to keep the soil healthy. Also one shot a couple times through the growing season. Nothing crazy, but for outdoor Iβve found that if it becomes a very rainy season, you will be glad you added them because you wonβt really be able to water with wet ferts.

Building organic soil with organic ferts is not the same as slow release ferts.

I agree.
Also though the Nectar for the Gods One Shot Granules have been a great slow release for me for the past couple of very rainy years.

Speaking of Nectar for the Gods...
Mr. Piggy...I vaguely recall you mentioning you were going to use NFTGs for the first time for a grow you did sometime in the last 2ish years? Or maybe I have you mixed up with someone else...but if so, I'm curious what you thought of the stuff?
I used their "Medusas Magic" last summer and it was the first time I've used a "bottled" nute (besides fish emulsion), I've always just used dry amendments and teas.
...Other than amending the soil with some Dr. Earth and compost about a month before planting, all I fed the plants/soil was the Medusas Magic and magnesium sulfate and a calcium supplement. I went a bit heavy with it a few times and no issues.
Plants turned out pretty dank, great resin...there's so many variables in the mix though, along with the climate I'm growing in now being drastically different compared to where I used to live/grow, that I can't really give a true opinion on the stuff.
That said...I do plan on sticking with that brand and getting some of their other nutes my next grow.
I fed some leftovers to some of my cactus & succulents and they became much more vibrant and vigorous, lushed up real nice.
Stoned ramblin'....just smoked some Rainbow Belts 2.0 from last summer's grow. I'm down to like 3g already lol , already smoked up most of the "dank" stuff I got from last summer (smallest photo-period plants I've ever grown, limited by space and sunshine/warmth). I regret giving away the other clone I had of the Rainbow belts 2.0, same with the Pecan Pie and Sparkle Face F2, I would have loved to have more of them all rather than the other strains I grew. Had I known how dank those were going to be I would have chosen having less variety but overall more dank (I had to keep my # of plants on the low).

They were alright. I think for the price I wouldn't personally opt to buy them, but I'm cheap. It's definitely worth the free sample pack ($50 or so in shipping)

I recently had my cousin pick me up some medical herb from oklahoma, she grabbed me an oz of this strain called "sweet heat"... I've been looking for seeds since, only place I've found them is neptune seed bank.. anyone use them before? I've read a lot of bad reviews on them and I'm iffy on buying anything from them... if anyone here knows where I can get some beans for that strain please point me in the right direction... I was pleasantly surprised, this shit actually gave me a head change after 2 bong rips... would like to add that one to the garden

I have always ran organic. Now I'm using grow dots and they are synthetic. It might be my only run with them just because of that. I like to reuse my soil and usually always add organic amendments. Plus your right when you say plants don't have the same needs. There's just so many variables in play. I'm glad I did try them out tho, see what's up. I like trying different stuff. Trying to find my perfect. I think I'll keep the recharge in the mix still tho. Been using that evey 7-10 days.
Because I can do an organic water only grow so why use synthetic. I was hooked With the one feed only. The simplicity of it. I didn't think about the synthetic part.

Thanks brother. Codyβs 50/50 in back. Autos. Been flowering about 30 days now. Flipped the light to 12/12 last week to start flowering the happy swirls in the front. Hoping for a good haul from the Codyβs then another haul from the swirls about a month later. Love my mush cult but liking cannabis even more. Itβs already saved me enough money to cover the equipment twice over. Wife smokes like a freight train.

How long do carbon filters usually last for you guys? Someone recently visited my house and said it reeks. I must be noseblind to it.
My carbon filter has been going non-stop for about 1.5 years so I ordered a new one and some ona gel. I never tried the gel before but I know not to put in the same room as the plants.

It varies wildly brand to brand. I had a 4x12 phresh that lasted seven years, and a cheapy amazon that lasted two. Some didn't even work for one year, the I know better cheap category. Humidity can greatly affect their odor reduction, a very high humidity will render them useless. It's also important to make sure your setup is drawing through a filter and not pushing. Having negative pressure in the ducting instead of positive pressure prevents smell from pushing out of cracks. Also, make sure you've got a big enough filter for the draw of your fan (CFM + static pressure ratings)

You bet homie, always glad to help out.
Just make sure you have a good fan inside that tent for air circulation. Those are going to be some THICK buds and they'll need it.

Got a 6in ac infin ossilating fan in there that keeps the air moving pretty well. My 8in ac infi filter/fan does a great job as well with smell and temps. Iβm pretty happy with them!

Gotta say I'm really impressed with them too. Definitely where price meets function and quality. I'm blown away by how quiet their impulse driven inline fans are. Fucking silent on lowest two settings, even drawing through a filter it keeps my 2x2 ambient while running 145w of LED.
