Hello and thank you for stopping by here, I have been feeding this plant only compost teas besides the precharged dry amendments and worm castings that I mixed into my coco before I planted the seed. The veg has been fairly long due to a small compact fluorescent bulb I was using the first few weeks of veg. But now that she is under one of my bigger lights she is growing more vigorous. The Nutritional ratio chart above is off. It's a chart to show you approximately what ratio I use of the organic matter. It's not exact. I defoliated this week to help with airflow, bring down humidity and heat, and help with light penetration to lower bud sites. Since I flipped into flower I have been using half alfalfa and half seabird guano for my teas I always include kelp in veg and flower. I have been watering with 50% diluted strength compost teas every single watering. I use only enough molasses to bring down the pH to where I would like it to be. Molasses is a great ingredient to compost teas to really boost microbial life but if you use too much it will bring your soils acidity down too far where the plant can no longer uptake calcium and will show you signs of issues. I find that two tablespoons per 5 gallons brings the pH down to about 6.5. In my area my tap water pH comes out at 7.5. so adjust accordingly. I'm going to do the half alfalfa and half seabird until week 5 of flower and that is where I switch to only worm poop, sea bird, and kelp. It will be a phosphorus, potassium, and calcium heavy diet. You guys get to see some crops in the tent this time around! Gotta use the trellis net so won't be able to pull her out like I usually do. I have 3 other varieties growing with her. Yes I have been procrastinating the trellis but should be in here by next update. Probably won't have to use 2 now that I am so late with it. Stay tuned ☺️
