I learned a lot last, as this is my very first grow. She’s Going into her first week of veg now. Fingers crossed everything goes smooth. She’s planted in a small red cup of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil for now, so I’m not giving any extra nutes for at least another week or two. Just keeping her moist spraying now and then with some plain distilled water, and researching my next steps! ✌️🏼
When does everyone start feeding? I’m at just about 2 weeks and she’s doing great so far, with just distilled water in ocean forest soil. I will be using advanced nutrients grow, bloom, and micro. I also purchased Sensi Cal Mag Xtra. Any help is much appreciated! I’m new.
Thanks
I have used FFOF and Fox farm nutrients for years. Here is my advice.
Since I know you just transplanted from the other thread, you now have 3 or 4 weeks before you should consider feeding her.
If you notice slowed growth,then I like Nova1 below, would maybe feed her big bloom or microbe brew or kangaroots or boomerang.
At about week 3 or 4 you can begin your regular schedule of feeding, but start at half strength and if she wants more go to full.
Hope that helps, I'll follow this and peep in from time to time.
Well since your using ocean forest soil the plant should be could until at least Week 4, because the soil has some nutrients in it. On average though most people start feeding between Weeks 2-4, really depends on the soil your using, and the environment the plant is growing in.
Hi there Franken, In soil you really dont really need to feed the first four weeks, but you'll probably want to repot the plant by then, since you're using amended soil you dont need any NPK. For micronutrients it depends on your light schedule, so if you have an intense one it might be a good thing to add it in or as a spray up to twice a week. If you think she might need nutrients another thing you can do is to use additives instead of NPK to "unlock" the nutrients already in the soil. My favorite additives are enzymes, humic acid and beneficial bacteria or trichoderma harzianium . So when you repot into fresh soil, you probably have a fresh four week period ahead of you before you need to feed again. That might depend on your run off, i just water with plain water no run off... hope this helps ! 🚀
All of the sudden she’s taking off. She’s growing like a weed now. Just about time to transplant into a larger pot. Wondering what size pot I should go to… research. It’s fun waking up and looking at growth!
Had a bad week or so. I got root bound in my solo cup before transplanting (while waiting on late Amazon delivery of grow bag) and had a bad nitrogen deficiency. Had to trim off all the bad spots, and add some bloom and sensi cal mag.
Well, I think I saved her! She’s looking good again and growing tall fast! I was skeptical trimming all the dead spots off with no guidance, but it seemed to work! Thank god. Back to watering and feeding and fun again!
Growing pretty well. Can really see a difference daily now. Trying to make it bush out more. Still have a little bit of that tip problem going on too. I think I’m going to add a little bit more nutrients.
Trimmed all the fan leaves with any brown spots off. She’s seems to be doing ok, I just want to figure out what’s going on. other than those spots, she looks pretty healthy though.
I want her to get bushier and a bit taller before I switch to flower. Hopefully within a couple weeks.
Edit:
Added advanced nutrients bloom, micro and grow to the mix. PH is 6.5 in my water…. 🤞🏼 Hopefully I’ll get rid of the spots that keep forming writhing a week or so!
Thought I had those little spots fixed but I am still getting a few here and there. I’m not sure what’s going on… other than that, I’m just gonna ride it out.
Good luck with the grow! I did cropking's durban last year. What an amazing plant, shes very resilient and definitely a strong grower. Hope you like wake&bake cuz she a heavy hitting morning smoke🌱✌️🏼 any questions at all feel free to DM me.
That durban is a very vigorous grower. Id recommend nothing smaller then a 10gallon for repotting. Great job by the way, she's looking nice and healthy 👌🏼
@Rusticbuds, thank you for the info and the compliments. This is fun!
I’m thinking of putting it in ocean forest soil again when I transplant… thoughts?
