May 11: afternoon foliar spray using Epsom salts, vinegar, soap and soluble kelp extract.
May 13: concluded most of my grow problems were due to excess sodium in well water. So I broke down and drove an hour from the farm to the nearest hydro shop and bought some Cal-Mag as my water hardener has been delayed.
May 15: some still looking nutrient burned, but things are improving now that excess sodium has been confirmed as the main problem.
May 17: some are finally looking healthy and the poor ones are improving so things are looking up, except for the weather which is cold and rainy for next four days. There’s even a chance of some snow, and this is about 3 days after it was 25 C. Spring in Alberta.
@Northern_Ent,I love to smoke the herb that I grow😛,
but it's the growing part that is highly addictive😵 as I've come to find out.
Just can't wait to put some more beans in the soil😏, espescially with Autos
It's always another EXPERIMENT😜.
Grow BIG!!!
@pecorino, I usually top my autos as this helps to prolong the veg phase. Mine usually veg for 6-7 weeks and this is mostly due to the cool nights that slow their metabolism.
@Northern_Ent,for me dutch passion and some strain from royalqueen yielded good, like autohulkberry and autoultimate, the problem for fastbud in my experience was that the vegetative stage was too short for outdoor
@pecorino, I pretty much have to grow autos this far north and I’ve had good success with strains from FB, Auto Seeds, original Sensible, and Crop King.
The most promising this year are the Early Version photoperiods from Delicious seeds.
Anyway, the point is not all autos are tough enough for outdoor but most of them are.
Supposed to be 35c today plus humidity, pushing 40, YUCK!!!
good thing for central air, I keep my house at 72f(20c)approx.
the tents in the basement never exceed 24c👍, so I'm thinking
the Lambs Breath will stay inside for awhile longer, until this heat dissapates
a little, hope all is well and stay cool😎..
Later!!
