3-4 weeks to go and things are looking great in tent 1 where I have 2 Peyote Gorilla girls in an Earthbox. The stretching is complete, and the girls are finishing. This tent was a breeze. No issues with growth and a lot of nutrition the plant can use to finish. Colas are stacking and beefing up... trichomes are very evident and I believe this plant is very happy. I water the humis layer with 1/4 gallon of rainwater to keep moist. However tent 2 is a different story. I noted that the plant was undergoing severe chlorosis. I believe this is due to my re-use of this earthbox jr, has created such a strong root structure from this and previous grows, that the plant cannot uptake nutrients as required. There is plenty of nutrition in the box and I added a small amount (1/4 cup) of Craft Blend mixed with Naranja that I milled and some gnarly barley, a malted seed meal that was germinated and then stopped to trap the seed hormones and prepares the starches to be converted into fermentable sugars. So I know there is great nutrition to the plant available but something else is preventing uptake. I don't use bottled nutrients so I must wait for the food to breakdown and become plant available. At this point of maturity I want to be careful with Nitrogen... I have seen such weird affects that may cause lockout, and foxtailing and new bud growth as the plant is finishing. I will watch carefully as the plant senesces, as bud development is far ahead of development in size compared to tent 1.
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.
