Day 25 - 11/16 - Added about an inch or two soil to provide additional support to main stem. Light water on newly added soil. pH 6.2 to 6.5-ish Defoliated 2 sites from lower main stems as they were getting less light and growing crooked because under canopy above. Day 26 - 11/17 - No Water. Day 27 - 11/18 - No Water. Day 28 - 11/19 - Water 1.3ml/l 0.7ml/l Fert Watered. LST Started - Tied 4 main branches to train for a cross shape canopy when seen from top. Trimmed 4 Fan Leaves.

Dormandostarted grow question a year ago
I topped at just above the 4th node counting from very bottom. There is very little or no main stem sticking up above the topmost node. Is this okay or do I NEED to leave a little stub of main stem? (Refer to picture Week 3 Day 18 - 11/09)

You cut a bit too low in my taste. Cutting below the next node, leaving a little stem, helps the trunk to avoid splitting as it grows. But don't worry, it should be okay (don't train it too hard). ^^

First time trying to main-line the plant. I had total 4 nodes when I topped the plant. Now 2 days later, I have cut very bottom node and third node; with thought of keeping only 2 nodes which will grow into 4 main-lines. Is this approach okay? Any improvement suggestions?

It looks correct to me according to what they say mainlining is. For more tips check out the RQS blog on how to mainline it will surely be helpful. I'll send you the link ....

How much calmag and Grow organic liquid fertilizer should I water ? And how frequently ? The manufacturer's Medium Dose suggests 10ml/gal Grow Fert + 4ml/gal CalMag. I am using half or probably slightly weaker than half this strength. Every other or third watering just to be safe

When growing in (mainly) soil, I have beem doing a plain water/plain water/medium strength feed/plain water/plain water/medium strength feed routine for 30+ years and it works for me. By "medium strength feed", I only ever do half to three quarters strength of what the manufacturers recommend. It is very easy to rescue a slightly underfed plant, but very, very hard to rescue an overfed, burnt and damaged plant!

Week 5 Veg I noticed few holes, yellowish veins and minor spots on 2 Fan leaves. Are these redflags for inappropriate nutes or anything to worry?😨Been feeding weaker than half-recommended BioThrive Grow and CalMag+ feeding every 2-3 watering or so. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Die hellen flecken sind Wasserflecken. Das Blatt hatte an der Stelle einen kleinen Wassertropfen und durch das Licht erhält er dort eine kleine "Verbrennung". Schau meine Gorilla Cookies an. Die hat in früheren Tagen, ne Menge von diesen Flecken weil bei mir die Blätter geschwitzt haben. Die Löcher kommen wahrscheinlich von Schädlingen

Week 7; Day 2 into flowering. Overall looks good. Been feeding 1.3 ml/l bloom + 1ml/l CalMag every other or third watering. Soil pH is about 6.5-6.7. Concerned about bright yellow new growth and red streaks on stems. Happy holidays, and thank you for the help ! :D

I wouldn't worry about red striping on the stem. It's when the whole stem turns violet, thats when you gotta start thinking about P booster. If i had a dollar for every red striped weed plant i've had i'd be richer than i am. I think your plants look beautiful and healthy. Not even any tip burn wtf lol. Carry on son your doing well!

Pics from old plant a few weeks in flowering started showing some deficiency symptoms on leaves. I could not diagnose the issue, but circling back to it so that I do not repeat the same mistake this time.

I'd say your soil is toxic or your pH is out of wack, probably both. You got all kinds of shit goin sideways there. Best remedy would be to give your soil a good flush with 6.2 pH room temperature tap water. Allow soil to dry out. Then resume your feeding.

I'm a rookie, first time trying mainlining. Currently in second week of flowering. Although from side it looks chaotic, the canopy seems uniform? I recently did a good trim to chop off lower nodes which were under fan leave shade. Any tips I should do ? Increase fert dosage ?

I think your SCROG looks good, and if this is your first time congrats on what you have achieved. The term mainlining refers to two main points coming out of the stalk at the rootbase, right now your plants has 4, so its not be definition mainlining but it is topped and groomed in such a way to be something like it. I did this on my Blue Cindy plant and it worked out really well. Keep up the good work.

So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself

1st things 1st. Organic nutrients react differently in a soil set up. My alga grow is 4.5 when putting in. My Bioenhancer from Green House Feeding puts the ph ai 9.5 My point is. Unless you're adding synthetic nutrients, (which you should try avoid, as the organic process doesn't follow PH rules. With most organic nutrients with soil. ph does not need adjusting. Good

Been feeding ferts regularly every third day watering. Using BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. Seeing some leaf tips burning and light yellowish spots. Overall the plant looks healthy, there are only 5-6 leaves showing these signs. What is wrong with my G ?

BioThrive Grow, Bloom and Calmag, no Micro nutrient? I'm unfamiliar with any Bio products other than i see more people with fucked up plants that use Biobizz nutrients than anything else. Where's your soil pH at? Do you know? Do you pH correct your water and nutrient solutions before you water in? Everyone that uses bottle nutrients are giving their plants plenty of food. The deficiencies begin in 2 ways generally, 1, pH is out of range, and 2, Nutrient toxicity due to salt built up around the roots which begins to lock out minerals. Of course there are other factors that can cause problems, like high VPD, but generally those 2 are the ones most responsible for deficiencies. Make sure your soil pH is between 6.0 and 6.4. i always recommend 6.2. Thats the pH i always strive for if i'm not using bacteria. If i use bacteria i pH to 6.3
