Foxfarms DIRTY DOZEN

[HobbitGDF]

Hey how many of you guys use foxfarms dirty dozen?
I was just wondering how many of you follow the feeding schedule?
are all of the bottles necessary?
Do you use the bushdoctor "flower kiss" foliar spray?

I also wanted to get the duo "kelp me kelp you" & "wholly mackerel" because it's in the feeding chart.

I thought you could get by with just the trio?

How much of this is overkill?

[Mr.furley]

I run foxfarm and only use half the line.

Trio, root drench, microbes, kelp, sladgehammer.
other product lines of calmag, SI. Waste of money to buy all that, Imho.

Mr.furley The sales pitches are fierce! Makes you feel like you need all these things. Was looking at the Budcandy from Advanced nutrients cuz that’s the line I’m using (at a quarter to half suggested rates) Decided to go with the advice of the good folks here, and got a big bottle of organic blackstrap instead. It did a nice job on my outside girls, so I will definitely continue to use it😁
One question about the molasses- this is going to sound weird but, when I put my buds in jars to cure and opened them for burping,
for the first week or so, they smelled like banana bread....
I don’t mean faintly... like they really smelled like banana bread😂 It’s dissipating now as their true smells are developing.
3 different strains, so I know that it’s not strain specific. Would this be from the sugar in the molasses? Haven’t heard anyone mention this, so I’ve been quietly enjoying my banana bread weed...
just thought I would ask, as no one seems to be bringing it up😂

It could be from the molasses. Depends on how long and how much you used the molasses before harvest.
Bud candy I didn’t notice any difference in buds or taste to be honest.
But my amigos say with the molassss they can taste some sweetness in the smoke

@CaptainWiese91
I gave them molasses 15 ml per 4 litres, 4 times over a 2 week period. The smell is going away now, and I’m glad!!
Keeps making me hungry for banana bread😂

[CaptainWiese91]

Never troede banana bread😅. We dont eat that in Denmark 😂.
I take 2 table spoon in a 6 liter bottle. Seems like it’s the right amount

[SoOrbudgal]

WHAT CaptainWiese91 you never ate banana bread. Well young man you got to try it with a layer of sweet butter on it. OMG best quick munchie better than a girl scout cookie for real. LOL

[CaptainWiese91]

No, it’s not like banana cake? Because this we eat a lot in Denmark 😂

You can definitely get by with just the trio and calmag. Silica, molasses and kelp aren't necessary but are beneficial, Sledgehammer is good to have on hand in case things go awry but otherwise not really needed at all. I use the trio and their soils to keep the main things consistent but everything else like silica, calmag, etc. comes from lower priced brands like General Hydroponics and Bloom City mostly.

In other words I don't really recommend purchasing the dozen and instead just picking up the Trio then look elsewhere for lower priced options of the other few things you might want.
