Looking good so far, gave a friend a few Humboldt seed company: Humboldt Sour Diesel feminized seeds and one of them germinated faster than the others an was looking kinda weird as it developed the second set of leaves, and he ended up giving it to me to see if I could figure out what's wrong with her. Other than that I'm excited for these ladies!
A lot of growth this week, the ladies are just shooting up, they all look healthy, the Humboldt sour diesel that was looking kinda funky is growing good and all the new growth looks normal an healthy gunna FIM the Matanuska Thunder an Humboldt Sour Diesel, waiting on the blue Sunset Sherbert till it gets a bit taller.
Had a very unfortunate past few weeks in my personal life, my marriage has fallen apart when I have fought so hard for it, I had to stay somewhere else and the ladies suffered cause of that.
Should I "flush" my ladies that are in soil(fox farm strawberry fields $ ocean forest mixed together) like I would for my girls that R in coco? I don't give the girls in soil nutes every feed since the soil provides nutes as well. Maybe just not as often, like every 4 weeks?
I would not unless it is needed, flushing soil can be complicated as it holds onto water more efficiently and can drown/compact the root zone much easier then coir or peat amended with petite.
Ask yourself why do you feel you need to flush? Flushing has been debunked for the most part and is only needed if you have been overfeeding and not allowing significant runoff. I would be monitoring the EC and PH of the solution going in and out of the pots to avoid the problem. fox farm nutrients feed heavy and they recommenced to flush a few times in their grow as this allows you to use more products and avoid some potential problems it would cause. Its a marketing game to sell more shit. If you have not been using a EC pen yet I suggest you prepare your feed to the ratios you desire then dilute it down to an adequate level to prevent build up.
If you still need to flush soil do it low and slow. Low rate of flushing over long periods of time. Not a massive bucket dumped in all at once. A weed sprayer with a few gallons should do the trick with multiple rounds. Best to do it outdoors or in a sink as there will be lots of runoff. following up with some microbes as they will be heavily stripped out of the medium is also a good idea. The golden rule for flushing is 3-5x the volume of the container. So if you have 3L container you want anywhere from 9-15L going though it.
Good Luck!
Transitioned to flower changed my metal halide 600w bulb to my HPS 600w bulb put the LEDs to 100% an switch the COB bloom setting on, starting my flowering nutrient feed rotation. Keeping it stupid simple this time around taking the advice of some of y'all on here as well as seeing checking others who have grown the exact strains I'm growing from the same seed companies, looking at their methods and looking closely at the ones that came out good obviously can't repeat their process exactly but it's a great uhh what's the word. shit.. reference?? I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for... But yeah just having examples and adding new tools or methods adding onto my notes, but yeah exciting week ahead I'm gunna have to organize the tent more so I can make sure they have enough room as they start to stretch outward.
Haven't been remembering to post weekly updates! Everything is going great the auto flower girls are budding nicely and the other ladies are starting to flower nicely I'm giving alternating nutrients using a few different fox farm nutrient feed charts with my own take on them from notes an suggestions. This is the part that is so enjoyable but so stressful!
The auto flowers are on later stage flowering, so they are on a later stage nutrient feed. Had some issues with my blue sunset starting to get some possible light burn not too sure maybe even PH burn cause I waited to long to flush the Coco coir but it's not that bad and all of them are doing great the 2 in the soil (ocean forest and strawberry fields mix) look a lot more healthier than the ones in coco, still giving the ones in soil mainly water feeds with nutrients after 2 water feeds since the soil provides nutrients have a buddy keep asking making sure I'm doing that. But yeah it's at the fun part but also stressful part, for some reason this is the stage where I have had quite a bit of issues on previous grows but taking the advice of people on here I'm keeping it stupid simple all the nutrients listed may not all end up in the feed but sometimes a rotation of all the ones listed plus a few others.
@MSNL_Seeds, thanks got more of your seeds getting ready to go in my buddies setup he's a bit more experienced so wanted the good genetics to be somewhere they can flourish, not that I don't have faith in myself but rather know with him they are forsure gunna come out 🔥plus he's gun cut some clones!
