Hi everyone,
I have had problems with plant 1 since the start of the week.
First, I was thinking a cal-mag deficiency but actually detected a garbage smell located on one side of the bottom of the jar.
I add a start of root mold 😢, just during the first week of flowering.
After researching how to fix this and asking some grower friends, I gave her a bath with 10% bleach for 15 min (after loading the perlite with fresh water). Clean everything and disinfect (of course, since I detected the smell and brown/dark roots, I removed it from the communicating water system and quarantined it).
After a cleanse of the roots with fresh water, I add mycotrex, bacteria (tarantula) and voodoo juice to set up the whole organic base inside the pot.
24 hours later, the smells have disappeared and my little girl is better, I will carefully monitor the rooting and growth. For the next 24 hours, I will start feeding again to give the good mold time to develop before reintroducing phosphorus which can quickly kill the beneficial fungus.
This security will surely affect the bud, but I choose to save a small harvest instead of losing everything...
@minibox, anytime champ, anytime! Yeah i have grow'n for years and years now, but i still consider myself as a newbie - sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you just get high enough .... 😘
There is no right or wrong anser to the question, try it out and see whats happens? If you ask me, you just need to learn by doing, yeah you can read it up, but you can only use it as a guideline - every grow medium/soil is different, somehow or another. But my own opinion is that you should not mix organic products with synthetic.
Bio tabs made a bud booster them self - Bio PK 5-8.... if you use that and PK booster compost tee, you will see some sick sick effects, its nasty but it works better then anything els 😋
@Red_Rockst4r, thanks a lot, i appreciate your feed back 😄 because you made a lot of nice run!
Small question for my second grow, i see you use bio tabs, do you know if it's possible to boost flowering with the products used here (mineral nutrients: big bud and overdrive) or if it's not needed?
thanks forward!
hi. Nce grow .
3 stagions of cannabis : 1- Vegetative / 2- pre- flowering [2 weeks] [ and this is the key for big and healty buds. The feeding is very important here ]
/
3- Flowering [ Very important aswell ] 😉
@blackhatcompany, thanks for all 👍, i started with bloom nutrients until now, my mistake propably from following informations found on web. But.. i still worry about "how tall they will be at the harvest?". My top soil to light in box is only 61 cm (24").
My target was a plant between 40<50 cm.
I don't have cal-mag, just starting pack sample of advanced nutrients( and i restarted water system with more feed as you suggested : 1.5bloom; 1.5bigbud and 1 candybud per liter). Thx again.
@minibox,
hi. yes. indeed. After week 4 the plant still growing fast and big. She stiil need Nitrogen to grow and CAL-MAG allot.
After vegetative stage fallow 2 weeks of PRE-FLOWERING. So you need to feed your plant with vegetative food like before week 1-4.
Like Week 5 --- 3 ml veg + 1 ml bloom flo //// Week 6 ---- 2 ml veg + 2 ml bloom flo ///
Week 7 ---3 ml bloom flo + 1 ml veg food /// week 8--- 4 ml bloom + flo bloom booster--- More P-K ///....Last week just watering . I use to do the same mistake before...like after week 4 I use to feed my plants with only FLOWERING food. The result was small grow and small buds . We all learn from mistake .
The ideea is to improve yourself grow after grow . Try new things with every grow . but keep it simple .
Good quality soil + quality lights + good water + and quality food. 👌 👊
@blackhatcompany,thanks for advise! In fact, i tried many times when i was young but without the right area and without succes... i learn a lot with this grow. Feel free to give more advise if needed.
Now it's pre flowering stage then, i try to push up for let more space to the bloom. Am i right?
hi.
I look to week 5 . the photos
you post week 5 flowering but she is still in veg period . Dont follow the other growers with the same strain like yours. You can not copy them .
you need to follow your plant , look at her and understand her. Other growers ... same strain ...diferent mother...diferent condition's of growing....diferent everything.
