Konichiwa, asalaam aleikum, ciao!
My soil diary is up in the air!
Girls looking pretty, time laps equipment is on!
Setup
———
18L fabric pots
Biobizz lightmix soil
Biobizz nutes and enhancers
TS1000 150w little sun by Mars Hydro
Wish me luck :)
Hola halo hallo ni hao!
Week 1: 12/12-17/12
Girls started very well.
Watering once in 3 days only with grow boosters. Big healthy leaves.
Have high hopes for this grow, hope it would go alright and i can form my own opinion regarding my preferred medium.
So far i see that coco offers explosive veg and no fear of overwatering, hence plant could be fed frequently.
However soil is the lazier option, just water when its dry and you’re fine :)
All matter of compromise yield vs easiness, i guess.
Timelapse is in the making and probably will make a clip on week 3.
Have a good week ahead!
Hey there, ola!
Week 2 behind.
I really like how this grow goes. Girls seem very happy and not much hustle going on. Watering every few days, today watered till a little runoff (tested how the plants reacted to flooding and they are A-OK)
Biobizz light mix seems to be packed with nitro just about in the right amount. Not adding any nutes yet and the leaves are big and almost dark green for me it means we are in the zone.
Enjoy the timelapse, my first video edited in premiere pro. Almost gave up when i first opened the software it seemed like a cockpit of a spaceship. But done alright i think.
Best. Hobby. Ever.
Best of luck guys and girls.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
clawing on NL which is in biobizz lightmix
Feed: only 0 NPK grow stimulants (root juice, bio-heaven, acti vera)
2 guesses: N tox or too high RH 75% (slow drying of soil)
My plan is to wait till soil dries and use just plain water next watering
Advice please?
I was GOING to say you were spot on, but taking a look at your diary, although you're hitting them a little heavy with the Acti Vera and the Bio Heaven, neither of these has any NPK in them so it's got to be that your soil is just a little too hot for them. I would do as you plan - just plain water, probably for a week, and see how they do. The only other cause of that would be overwatering - the state of being CONSTANTLY wet - but I think you'd see more drooping than clawing... In any event, make sure you let the soil dry out thoroughly before giving them anything more and do this every time you water/feed.
Good luck - and Merry Christmas (if you celebrate that particular holiday!)
Hola
Week 3 passed.
This week is all about struggling with too hot soil. Plants are averfed with nirogen, stunned and looking like cabbage LOL
Trying to flush out the soil.
The EC of the runoff was a ridiculous 4.0!
Flushed two times already and last time got 2.5-3.0.
Im afraid to drown them and make it even worse so have to wait till they dry again and will try one last massive flush. If they keep going bad ill probably scrap them and make room for the coco grow.
Biobizz light mix = sh1t. I feel helpless when growing in this soil vs the coco grow which is like a direct injection - full control.
I hope they’ll make it, cuz I love them too much.
Cheers.
Well. Guess i saved them.
Despite being stretched and stunned all over, they are flowering! True warriors (shout out to RQS)!
I made a mistake rushing with this grow in the same tent with the coco grow, i ran out of space and the plants are suffering.
Anyway, I’m sure that even being “not optimal” they will finish alright and provide beautiful fruits.
Been flushing the shit out of them last week.
Restarted feeding only for the last two waterings and they seem to recover and prosper.
Soil for me is still a mystery, i would be grateful for advices in the comments or pms.
I seem to get the same issue for the second time, the plants are stunned and overfed from the beginning, even though im using “light-mix”
See you next week :)
Please help me identify the problem.
I’m thinking about potassium deficiency because i add only bio bloom and i dont have top max.
Should i add some PK?
The problem only with the top leaves, bottom leaves are fine.
The other plant in same soil and same nutes is totaly fine
Your instincts are spot on .... potassium! Should you add PK? Yes! Your pH is perfect so if there was enough for her, she wouldn't be showing these signs... and it's about now in the growth cycle that plants are REALLY hungry for both potassium and phosphorus ... so get some to her pronto!
Good luck!
Been busy lately. Missed some updates.
Week 10 just punched out.
Been quite a ride, the girls are looking fantastic to my liking. Some nute problems with NL but she seems happy now and on her way to finish strong.
The Purple punch smells just delicious i wouldn’t believe if anyone told me the plant could smell mango+pineapple. So sweet.
Cant wait for the trichs to show a little amber and chop them down. The buds a so sugary.
Fianal checkup. Inthink its too late anyway as we are so close to harvest but for the sake of gaining experience could anybody make the final diagnosis of what is the reason for the yellowing and burning tips of upper leaves. Untreated early PK def maybe?
Ok.... autopsy report here... the actual TIPS of the leaves are really nothing to worry about and are fairly normal in most every grow... shit happens. BUT the more major yellowing and marking of the leaves indicate a deficiency of postassium - so your instinct about it being a PK issue is spot on. The best time to start extra PK is about week 2-3 of flower... this is when the plant is really needing tons of that and it's hard to overdose on those two nutes - so look for a really good PK booster for your next grow. You'll also be amazed at how much fatter your buds will be if you give this to them. I use General Hydroponics KoolBloom liquid (0-10-10) during most of the flowering stage and switch to the KoolBloom dry (2-45-28) for the last two weeks of a grow. You'll want to cut your grow nutes down to about 1/2 of what you'd been giving them during veg (start cutting them down in pre-flower) and all should be well...
Have fun in trim jail!
