Remember I just started this addiction, but I think the plants cannot absorb as much fertilizer as I use if I didn't keep them under strong shop lights with the full spectrum lights going 14 hours a day.

I basically use FV-11 and Schultz 8-14-9 liquid most of the time....then when I am getting impatient for more blooms, I will carefully (based on instructions on the granular food) feed them this Schultz 20-30-20 ......but not if they are really dry....that is a pretty potent fertilizer but I only use a little less than 1/4tsp. per gallon of water..

I wish you could take a closer shot at your Blue Heaven for us.....
