-Day 43 Watered both plants with 8 cups of pH balanced water. Water was dosed with 1tsp of Recharge. I picked up a sprayer because I think I'm watering too quickly, which I think is causing these deficiencies. I'm seeing minor deficiencies pop up, but then again, I think that comes back to my watering habits, which is making my pots bone dry. Cut off some lower growth and placed on top of mulch. Also the lights were extremely close and as you can see in some of the photos, there is quite a bit of bleaching of the leaves, especially towards the top. Coupled with the dry top layer of the soil and the pots not being thoroughly watered, I'm sure that's where my deficiencies came from. Once we get this sprayer watering down making the soil evenly wet, I'm sure we'll be back on the right track! Regardless...still the healthiest group of ladies I've had the pleasure of growing. -Day 46 Watered each plant with 8 cups of pH balanced water. These ladies love the sprayer, and so do I! Minus the fact that it takes longer to water...🤣 but its keeping my top soil much more moister (paired with the straw mulch) than before, and that's exactly what I'm looking for! Now some of the leaves that have issues, I'm monitoring but I truly think it was because of my watering habits, since I'm use to bottled nutrients. But, the leaves that were having issues, dont seem to be getting better, but the progressiveness of the problem has halted. I will however be adding another top dress next watering, even though I previously said I wasn't going to, and then after nothing but the occasional Recharge! -Day 49 Kinda hoping these gelato dont turn out like the one before where I wasn't left with any smokable product as it didn't have any Crystal's whatsoever. But there's still plenty more time to prove me wrong....watered both plants with 8 cups of pH balanced water. Added 2.5tsp of Terp Tea Bloom as a top dressing, the last top dressing, and then covered up the dressing with more straw mulch, and watered thoroughly.

Grow Questions

KCChiefersstarted grow question 3 years ago
Discoloration on some lower leaves. Rest of plant is healthy, so I'm wondering if I should top dress with my bloom nutes now? It could just be because both plants are so bushy, it's just dying because lack of light? I dunno. What do you guys think? To me looks like N def

That's just cause she doesn't get enough light like the rest of the leaves. A nitrogen deficiency will be more uniform yellowing. But good job!

@ripsharting, thanks! Went ahead and checked your ladies out and they're looking pretty amazing as well! My first run ever...so I think I went to heavy with nutes. Trying the same soil out again in my other 2 grows, and going to not add my top dressing unless they show deficiencies. So far about 40 days in, and just some burnt tips since autoflowers are such babies 😜

Since we're not feeding bottled nutrients, with my soil being completely dry almost, the plant couldn't uptake its nutrients from the soil. Now with the addition of a garden sprayer, we're back in tip top shape! For my organic soil growers, getcha one and you won't regret it! 😏

I think you did a good job with this grow. Very nice work on your first living soil. Do you plan to recycle the soil for another grow?

@KCChiefers, we’ll that’s still a win, my friend. Enjoy your next living soil grow.

@NeedsMoreFans, originally I was planning on recycling it, but didn't realize the extra space I needed so at the moment, I'm tossing it out and using it for my outdoor garden later this year, and just using new soil each "run".

You did great for soil. If you like the gelatos. You may want to try the green gelato auto. Is is a strong high that will put you to sleep if you smoke very much of it. This grow came out great 😃

@justright, thanks! She's doing better for taste and smell now that she's been curing for 3 weeks or so. But that's my problem, not very much space and so many strains to try 😭😅
