    • No personal experience but maybe try Silicium? It’s another product available on the phive8 website same people who do the new millenium.

      • Silica Blast from Botanicare works great with other brands of nutrients and is very affordable!

        • If you’re looking for something more expensive try out the Armadillo Armor from Cronk nutrients or Silicium from phive8

          • Wollastonite W-20 vanisil. Or just waste your money on some advertising.

              • There are 3 pigments that are responsible for reflecting color spectrums we see in plants. Chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids. Near the end of a plant’s life it’ll increase the production of a hormone called ethylene. Ethylene blocks chlorophyll (reflects green) production allowing other pigments (carotenoids and flavonoids) to show.…

                    • Does anyone do 48 of light or darkness right before harvest?

                      • One thing to remember, most growers are high lol. I don’t believe the buds are ” protecting” themselves. If anything they are trying to become sticky to catch some pollen. Annual plants really have only 1 mission, to reproduce.

                      • Bruce Bugbee has numerous recent talks saying it makes no sense to do it. On the contrary he has stated intense light at the end to finish might be worth it, but darkness at the end is counterintuitive to what the plants want.

                      • No. It’s BS. Plants can’t photosynthesize without light…This method is supposed to “boost resin” or make more trichomes… I’ll know older free market growers that still do this bc the bud “smells louder” according to them. They still flush, too. Lol.

                        We humans are so clever we trick ourselves sometimes into thinking we do it better…

                        • In terms of increasing light hours, Rasta Jeff has been touting 18/6 the last two weeks of flower… Supposed to finish faster. Forgot to address both parts of the question. The darkness triggered me.😅😅

                          • According to Robert C Clark, cannabinoïd biosythesis continues for a day or two after harvest…maybe that has been proven wrong since then, but you get the point.

                          • What terpenes create a blueberry flavour or aroma? I’m curious and can’t find any solid answers.

                            • I asked over at a breeders server. Here is the response.

                              Cineole and linalool have large peaks at 50 and 55

                              D-cymene and limonene have slightly smaller peaks at 47 and 49 but still distinguishable

                              Linolool is one of the main terpenes found in strawberries so…

                              • It’s not from a strain, its from an actual blueberry.

                              • They were nice and green until 4 days ago when the yellow fade started they are only in week 6 with a papery feeling leaf. I feel this is too early for nutrient leaching. I gave a half tsp of epsom slat per gallon in 3 gallon living soil. Some leaves are still green… I can’t put my finger on it maybe calcium? Soil ph is 6.4 with gaia green 2-8-4

                                • They’re running out of nitrogen a bit early. Not calcium, not magnesium.
