Great week... kind of... in the first tent, the environment is great. I cooled the tent off by exhausting more frequently. Colas are beautiful and buds are stacking nicely. No issues with this tent at all, except I would like to see the plants praying more. I defoliated once again adding the leaves to my humis layer I have created. Now with tent 2, the plants are in an advanced stage of Chlorosis. I have fed several times in the last few weeks and have not noticed any improvement. Do not wish to add too much nitrogen at this time of flower to prevent fox tailing or any unusual growth while flowering. Since I know the issue is not nutrition as far as the inputs or an imbalance of inputs, the issue is the earthbox jr. The Jr. holds half the soil of the earthbox and since I no till and reuse the soil in the earthbox, I believe the issue is that the earthbox is filled with roots from this and previous grows and there is no room for the roots to be able to uptake the nutrition. I used a different earthbox junior to grow tomatoes and when I cut the tomatoes down and explored the soil in the earthbox, I could not believe the network of roots that are created and the displacement of the soil. In that earthbox, I found little soil and mostly roots. I believe this is the issue with this earthbox as it is in the third grow, reusing the media, amended before each grow by enhancing a humis layer and adding my amendments to the top of the earthbox for the feeder roots to feed upon. There is little I can do at this time as there is no way to transplant at this time. I will water and have no choice but to allow the plants to senesce keeping an eye on the maturity of trichomes as it may finish much sooner.
Hey there Marc, you got some nice plants there! it seems like they are missing something though!
I dont know what nutrients you are using but if you ever get tired of having to adjust ph and add bottled nutrients then i can show you are one for all solution, its a dry amendment (sort of), it contains all you need for microbial life aswell. Its called FLO - Florian's Living Organics.
Very easy to use and i have had a great experience with it. All you have to with it is mix this one dry amendment with soil and just water with regular water.. The pH adjusts itself.
reason im giving you this tip is because i saw how much stuff you use for nutrients, so maybe it would be nice with a more simple 100% organic solution.
check out my recent diary where im using it from seed to harvest.
Happy growing! 😎
@Earthling37,
Maybe you confused me with someone else, or perhaps you are attempting to sell a product. This grow is completely organic and sourced by Build a soil. It's a no till water only type of grow that relies totally on microbes. Cheers!
I’m sitting on these exact seeds MarcGrows…. You’ve certainly have done well with them….what a beautiful grow!!
It appears that the 10 week “max flowering time” on their website is accurate. Best of luck with the rest of your grow.
