Directly planted seeds in organic living soil. These plants are vigorously growing, topped today. By the way things are going I believe that the recovery time will be very short.
All organic ingredients. De chlorinated water with vitamin c.
Fan leaves are larger then my hand
Once the new shoots have at least 2 nodes (or more), are they ready for re-topping.
I have plants with leaves bigger than your head quite often!
You can dechlorinate your water by letting it stand for 24 hours before use, negating the need to use anything else.

In my city we use chloramine. The water sitting out doesn't evaporate the chlorine cause it is binded with ammonia to make chloramine. In fact letting chloramine sit over time actually increases its potency. Vitamin c dissolves the chlorine and and the ammonia.
Hi guys. Anyone else using living soil? Will going from a 3 gallon to a 7 gallon be enough nutrients to get me through 9 weeks of flower? Should I go bigger? I know I can just ammend the soil and use compost tea but I'd rather just not run into any defecinces at all. Thanks
No soil, no matter how big the pot, will have enough nutrients to grow a plant through the entire flowering cycle without supplemental feeding.
The combination of your plant feeding and water leaching nutrients, will lead to your plants needing extra food at some point.
Surely it is not that hard to mix a watering can of fertilizer every 10-14 days? There are plenty of healthy organic supplements available.
If you are worried about deficiencies, adding something at some point will be unavoidable.

Most grow soil have enough nutes to get them through the veg cycle. Don't think they actually supply enough p and k throughout flowering. Unless they make a soil specifically for flowering time, then I would feed some bloom ferts to your babies. I personally have found 5 gallon containers are a great size for quick grows. I like my planters to be near root bound before switching into flower. Seem to bud the best that way. Cheers
Hey Steve, What a great name that is :) hehe I would advise training gradually as to not cause her too much stress at one given time you may slow her down or at worst stunt her I mean it seems you have been pretty heavy with the defoliation anyway so I would advise letting her recover abit from that first and then when you have some fresh new growth then start to top them one at a time. :)
So I'm day 2 into flower. Decided to flower in the 3 gallons. Mostly this is a test for some organic soil that I'm using. Gonna ammend soil with gaia green power bloom, should I do this now? Or wait? I want these plants to stress so what nutrient should I increase to make this ha
Another thing I never see mentioned (though I've witnessed hundres of times). The pot/soil/root space profile (like narrow but deep or shallow and wide) also influences the stretching dramatically.
Hi guys. On week 4 of flower and just added some gaia green power bloom. I was just wondering. I have some bloom synthetic nutrients and was wondering if there was a good time to use that when would it be? Week 5? Just to give it that extra boost. I may not even do it.curious.
Your synthetic nutrients are likely salts. Gia green is organic . I would make sure you maintain a run off every time you water if you do this. It is honestly not a good idea to mix nutrition from different places. Can trigger a chemical reaction and have major issues. Good luck and happy growing
I'm at week 6 of flower, and this plant takes 8-10 weeks. Should I add worm castings as a last feed? I also have gaia green power bloom. Should I give it last feeding? Thanks.
Organic soil / banana punch strain
I would continue with the Gaia Green and plenty of worm castings too.
Proper and natural worm castings can not burn, so heap it on and in future, use it all through your grow, your plants will love you for doing so!
Looking at your pictures, you probably have another 4-8 weeks, so don't stop feeding too soon.
The quoted 8-10 weeks is just a guide and not really applicable to the real world. There are too many variables to make the 8-10 week suggested timeframe achievable - there is a huge difference between hydro with 2000 watt HID lights and a person growing in a cupboard with cheap soil and a cheap blurple light to make these figures realistic for everyone growing that particular strain.
Hope this helps,.........
