@Adcrag yeah aerating you can keep your mix for about 48 hours at least. It depends on other factors too like temperature and light exposure. If cool in the dark I’ve kept my mix good for 5 days before.
What brand of blackstrap are you using? So far your mix is great. I would just add a little bit more phosphorus and potassium myself. GDP loves potassium and it adds to that berry smell it gets from all the myrcene.
I tried that once. Even with aerators, feed water will get mucked up. This has been my experience thus far.
I have three 5 gallon buckets, with a three way aquarium aerator, like this. I always have two buckets of fresh water aerating at all times and the other as feed bucket. Whatever I don’t end up using, I throw out. Otherwise algae city, which could be interesting, but probably not for you.
You have a bunch of flowerat the top were they can get the light. Looking good.
@MDBuds am I buying Phosphorus and potassium separately and Golden barrel unsculptured blackstrap molasses
@Adcrag if you’re using the golden barrel blackstrap that has extra potassium in it so no need to get more potassium. You can just increase to 1 tbsp. You can use up to 2 tbsp if feeding every 2 to 4 weeks in soil but since you’re feeding every other day I wouldn’t use more than 1 tbsp.
For phosphorus I wouldn’t worry too much. Just an extra ml or two of your bloom formula will handle that.
Gotta ya. Should I prune her before lights on or wait til lights come on. Does this negatively affect her, like light leak while I prune her.
Never at a loss for knowledge.
Pulls a chair. Sup guys
Good evening @MDBuds , wanted to show my work. I pruned lower fan leaves & sucker branches. Readjusted SCROG to open her canopy up. Did see leaves blowing now. Fed her til overflow, will go back in about hour to see if there’s water left in saucer. And readjusted the light.
She’s happy & ready to draw in her 
before
Happily after
Everyone have good one
Your grow is going awesome it looks like you’re an old veteran at this. The more you grow the better you get and you will have some great grows I can tell already.
@Adcrag she looks great. Keep it up and you’ll have an amazing grow. I wouldn’t trim or prune anything more now except dead leaves under the canopy when they pop up. Don’t adjust the scrog anymore either. Don’t feed until overflow anymore either. That’s for hand fed hydro in coco coir. Soil you want just enough to saturate so dial in your feedings and just do a light feed every watering still cycling wet to dry so you don’t have humidity issues since gdp is prone to mold. You’re doing great. You got this. 
Yikes, I’ll adjust watering amounts. Thanks.
@Adcrag yes. You want the ph for any foliar feeding to be as close to neutral as possible. If it’s too acidic or alkaline it can burn your plants.
I also wouldn’t do foliar feeding during flower with GDP. The less water you get on those buds the better. I’d just make sure to include calmag with my feedings and waterings.
Listen to MDBuds…those GDP’s love MOLD!!!
Man, I’m nervous about mold. Thanks. Need to check on her after lights on.
You got your airflow all sorted out, right? I think you’ve got this. As long as you don’t smell beer (which is what it smells like to me, others will probably say differently) and if you do, mitigate as soon as possible based on what’s happening. There is a lot of knowledge here that can help get things sorted out, if so. Though, I think I may be preaching to the choir.
If you do not get mold on the flowers and only leaves, it is easily managed. If on the bud, a little harder but still all is not lost. Chillax
Thanks all for the votes of confidence!! Waiting for GDP’s to come on to check her soil.
Figured i would update my thread . week 5
