So it is now the end of week 7. Excuse my French, but I royally fucked up. My pH meter kicked the bucket, and I didn't check to make sure like an idiot. None the less, girls are still alive despite my poor care taking. They had been fed and I knew they should have plenty of food. Yet, deficiencies and curling leaves were continuing. I checked my soil with my pH tester, and sure enough, they were almost all above 7.0 pH. After flushing the one with curling leaves, I thought it may fix it. Unfortunately I flushed with high pH water due to bad meter, making it worse. So the last few waterings have been more acidic around 5.8-6.2 pH to encourage the soil a d root systems back down to an area where nutrients can be taken up by plant. Which basically was starving them. I do organic nutrients and usually pretty hard to do nutrient lock out. So with hope, passion and focus, maybe I can get this train back on track and finish them out with a decent result. It's a good lesson and allows for learning, unfortunately I am unhappy with myself. Hope to still show the power of Dutch Passion genetics.
Gaia green has diamatecous earth. Awesome for bugs. Sprinkle in soil and some on top. Rips there bodies open and sucks their body juice out. Shitty way to goπ€£π€£
@Gunnen,lol 40 ain't that old. To me anywaysπ€£π€£ I remember when I used to think 30 was oldπ€£π€£π€£ once you hit 30 you change the age group of oldπ€£π€£
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, thanks man, deficiencies still showing so I got suspicious of lockout or pH. With oragnic nutrients lockout doesn't happen often. Shooting myself now lol, ah well we will bounce around. May just not be able be best result!
@Gunnen, you got this broπ€π€ now that you know the problem. And you can look for it next time and use it as a learning experience broππ€π€ deficiencies and any problem you have is shit but it's good to learn from itππ€π€ they look better now my friend
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, turns out the soil pH was whack. I also had flushed, but my pH meter needed calibration. So turns out I flushed with around 7.0 pH, kind of making problem worse. Her soil was over 7.0 PH slightly, while others are lower than 7, but could be lower. Hopefully can turn it around okay.
They look good still bro. Hope it will come back for ya but it doesn't look too bad. I know calmag deficiency can look like that too. And quantum board led lights are notorious for calmag deficiency. What soil and water do you use?
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, using tap water with pH down formula. Soil is Fafardβs Agro Mix G5, usually pretty porous and fast drying. I think the Gaia Green dry amendments have Cal-Mag in them as well. I think I am fighting nutrient lock out due to soil pH being close to 7 if not higher. You could be right though, I am just worried to feed anything more at this point!
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, it's called Ghost Rider. He lost his son and goes on a motorcycle travelling adventure to heal. Was pretty heart wrenching at points, but a good read!
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, me too, his book was really good but super sad too. Yeah hopefully with pH right now and plenty of slow release food, they should finish out nicely.
