The fish tank water seems to be a hit with tha ladies! I’m starting to think about some light top dressing as we head into week 7 veg. I’ll do the last topping in a week or so. We’re at 2 nodes for the first 4 (each plant).
I started with foxfarm, added worm castings and some 4-4-4. This is my first organic grow and I won’t go back to the big three nute solution. This is so much easier!
At this point, they seem to want water every day but I’m doing every other day. Don’t wanna push my luck!
Happy growing and thanks if you happen to stop by!
For potential transplant shock, you could trim off the lower leaf's on the plant that are yellow or trim them back a little, adding kelp to the watering after you transplant helps as well. Some reports of using a little bit of sugar have been reported, but is anecdotal and may cause acidity changes to the water, so I would pH test if you do that before watering. Personally I would stick with kelp, always has worked for me.
They look great, even if they are drooping, I'm sure they'll be okay. Good luck!
@FreeRangePessimist, hey thanks for this! Yea I ended up trimming the bad parts, let them dry out then resumes my watering regiment. I use ph’d water from my 55g fish tank. All my plants seem to love this stuff including my lime tree!
Getting ready to post this weeks progress. They’re all happy and healthy looking!!!
