Figured I’d drop a couple pictures. 3rd treatment is in 2 days. This evening and tomorrow they will get 50% more nutes. You saw that right. The “scientist” says do it, I’m following directions.
Edit… excuse my feet, why I bought white shoes in my line of work! I tried real hard to get them out in the last picture. 
Honestly, I don’t know how. I’m very technologically challenged
Are you using a phone? I don’t know about all phones but on my phone when I snap a picture the picture to drop to the bottom left-hand corner and stays there for a few seconds if you tap on it before it goes to the file it will pop up to edit from there it should be fairly easy to figure out. I got nothing to do. I’m stuck in bed for a couple weeks so I will walk you through it no matter what kind of phone you got. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll shoot you my number and we can do it while we talk. 
Ol Dunbar… Learning new tricks and all. Plant look stellar, sure do, Nice greens ya got goin on & I dig the kicks… plus like 90% of our pics have feet in them anaywho. LoL
Ravenchief: ”I do mention that cost is minimal and the return is maximal.
I also now include my personal experience and all the other products that I use differently and less of now because of BBP - Now I will also be able to state from experience that BBP will speed your veg time by in my case 35% faster growth to Flip - This literally shaved 30 - 45 days off of veg time with NO loss of vegetation, height, width, and I suspect yield (but will know in a couple of months). I do suspect it is also the malted barley that I till into the media and top-dress when hand watering (not autopots)
I can’t prove it but I will swear that BBP has also increased the potency of my buds - What I can offer as some non-scientific proof is that this summer, I took some cuttings from the larger plants and rooted them and put them in 5 gallons late in season - I wanted to see what I could do with cuttings/clones (I like variety so I tend not to grow a plant twice and I have hundreds of seeds So I had the opportunity to grow them both out, side by side - what I can tell you is that the cuttings even though smaller (about 4 feet tall) the buds were more potent, denser, tastier, and more fragrant - I have cured my summer grow and tried everything (again subjective, non-scientific) and the high from the cuttings is stronger -
What I attribute this to is how they came to be in the world.
The mother plants were seeds that were started on BBP later in veg - When I took the cuttings from the mother plant - they had already had some applications of BBP on the leaves - that stored BBP gave the cuttings a headstart when they grew roots - I have put both the cutting’s and mother’s buds under the scope - the cuttings buds have more trichomes and on my HiGrade application they both have the same THC register (its a product I bought that approximates the THC content of a bud based on algorithmic comparisons).
So - I am an advocate for BudBusterPro and what it has done for my Cannabis plants - Next summer I will try to convince my wife to try it on her tomatoes and other plants - she is very particular and controlling about what happens in her garden - I can’t say as I blame her…
I may wait another day or two if I can to flip them - my goal was at 60 days from popping, and that is Friday - I want to give them a good BBP application then put them in the dark for 36 hours and when they come out give them lots of Bloom microbes in an ACT/compost tea and get them off to a really good start - They are taller than any other indoor grow at flip and I am hoping I didn’t push it too much haha.
It occurred to me that another contributing factor to how ready these gals are so early is that I have not defoliated AT ALL - I have not even taken one leaf off - actually I took a total of 3 leaves off of all 9 plants over the past 2 months - they were yellowed - that’s another thing I have noticed is that I have very little if any yellowing -
But my point is I have all the BBP stored in the leaves and so I think that concentration of accumulated goodness is contributing to the fact that these girls are ready, 30 plus days earlier than any of my previous photo grows.
So on the use of BBP for this run - I have been experimenting - All summer I stayed with the 14 day spread between applications - however this run I have been shortening to 10 - 14 days on the later apps - so The first application was at 14 days at the 2ml/8oz rate the second app was at 28 days at a 3ml/8oz rate the third app was at 40 days at the 4ml/8oz rate and the last app was at 50 days at the 4ml/8oz rate - I plan to do a 5ml/8oz rate app just before I put them in the dark which is why I want to delay until 60 days above ground which is Friday.
I feel strongly that the 10 day application spread rate seems to accelerate all the good attributes of BBP and I have not noticed ANY negative impact. I would only do that after they have been established root and foliage wise. so after the 2cnd application. I believe that is one of the reasons these plants are as developed in veg after 60 days compared to previous grows that would take 100 days to get to this level of bud sites and lateral fullness.
That’s the plan anyway - I have all the lights at 100% because I don’t want them to stretch anymore in veg, but this morning they are above the line I drew last night haha –
So I am going to be applying a 5ml rate BBP treatment tonight before lights out at 4pm - they will stay out until Friday morning at 5am - I will be putting them on a 11 off 13 on schedule 5am-4pm on I have been doing a lot of research and I want to start using the flower portion of the Gas Lantern light schedule where you start at 11/13 and decline a half hour each 2 weeks down:
So first 2 weeks of flower you go 11 on 13 off, the next 2 weeks you go down to 10.5 on 13.5 off, next 2 weeks 10 on 14 off, next two weeks 9.5 on 14.5 off and the last weeks of flower you should be at 9 hours on and 15 hours off.
I will be giving them a bloom tea upon waking and start introducing their flower nutes - I am a little afraid of their height but I will deal with whatever needs to be dealt with.”
Note: At this point we make no potency claims as we DO NOT have lab verification. All comments must be considered anecdotal. That being said, we’ve had no negative comments regarding bud quality, potency, smoothness or flavor.
About to start applying to a few clones I have going, super excited to see the same fantastic results that the others are seeing.
Do you have sample bottles or is the 4oz the smallest you go?
I haven’t really posted much about BBP because I still want to do a side x side for myself, but I can say forsure that there is definitely no negative effect bud quality, potency, smoothness or flavor. I have been smoking flower and bubble hash from my outdoor plants that were treated with BBP so I can say with confidence there are no residues or residuals. I was however surprised at the development of side branchs, the best way I can describe it is like the growth you see when you top a node and the branchs below bush out.
The 4oz bottle is our smallest size.
I’ll have to pick me up some to try soon
From your grows that I have seen Cody, I have high expectations!
It will be fun working with you and I look forward to it!
Couldn’t agree more, its going to be fun!
Bud buster pro for the win!
This morning 36 hours of dark Hi Bob as soon as I open the tent this morning at 5 o’clock I took these pictures. They stretched at least 2 inches overnight and they look fantastic already starting to pre-flower and I’ve given them a bloom micro Tea. I found it this is a very good way to help them transition to full flower.
Yeah nobody wants to see your dirty sneakers lol !!
Not sure who sent this to Bob, but I am very interested in the 36 house of dark statement. I have seen this before, that extended dark period at flip will cause them to go into flower quicker. The stretch part is what I don’t get, I understand WHY it happens, no light…but WHY is that good? I have always tried to keep the stretch down, to get dense compact buds? What am I missing?
I have been growing for a very long time, but I have learned SO much on here it is amazing ! Please tell me more.
Marty
@sssportsmfg … This information is coming from @ravenchief on his page ‘My Summer Grow’
I am just reposting it on the forums and our BBP webpage…chief is a great guy and we both want to provide as much info as possible on the BBP to expand the efficient use options.
That is one of the things so great about GN…you can put current information out there, and sure emough, some other grower will surely have something to contribute as they devise their own methodology!! I love it !!!
PS He is having some extordinary results top dressing with malted barley also sport…I find that kinda fascinating!
High Marty - my name is Rich -
I am who Bob is refering to and yes 36 hours of dark has definitely sped up the transition to flower for me in my grows - I first heard about it from Jake from Grow More ( a nutrient company) dropping knowledge on Youtube - I tried about 4 grows ago and now its a staple in my garden - Some people will go as much as 48 hours but I can’t be away from my babies for that long 
(and I cheated with some green light inspections )
as far as the stretch - I am happy (so long as I can control it somewhat ) because most of my grows indoors are low and wide with lots of budsites - but this grow I am playing with light to get more colas to grow taller.
