SSKNF GROW #5

Can someone let me know why is this website wont let me upload pictures? its keep says error with no explanation. never mind. i have no time on this bs until CS comes back to me. I'll be starting to update in IG in 24-48 Hrs 02042025 Hey Growmies, Happy New Year!!! ^o^v It's been a while since I last posted... Working full time, family stuff as usual. So, going back to the previous SSKNF #1 - #4 grows, I forgot that about 2 years ago, when I had stopped growing for a while, I mixed left over Dry Nutrient for storage. While I was testing what was wrong with the flower nutrients, I remembered that I had only mixed Bio Live (which is more geared toward veg) with Langbeinite on Flower nutrient mix. because that’s what was left after the Veg mixes were completed. So, my previous grows suffered from a lot of nutrient deficiencies during and after the pre-flower stage. After testing and figuring out what was causing the deficiencies, I remixed Down to Earth Dry Nutrients for Veg & Bloom and liquefied them, as usual, with soil microbes. I’ve been using these since. After correcting the nutrient mix, it seems like there’s no stress, unless I miss the timing for nutrient switching or dosage. This current grow also experienced nutrient deficiencies while transitioning to flowering because I forgot to start giving flower nutrients. However, I managed to fix the deficiency and the plant grew to finish. It did suffer a bit during the stretching phase. To overcome the deficiencies during the flower transition, I used Flower Nutrients as a foliar feed instead of Epsom Salt. Felt like driving a 2 Ton truck without a break, due to unkown dosage on new nutrient mixes but I really I had to really make this technique work because I’m busy with work, satisfying family & dog, and recording on the calendar for top dressings. But I tend to forget due to other factors taking my mind off the grow, questioning myself if I’d top dressed or not. So, ladies and gents, Sorry for the long read, let’s cut the rest. Hope you enjoy! p.s. Left first node's branches, just to see if it's going to bulk up with original root structure. seems like it's re-vegging with no increase in size; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So this round was: - 3 Gallon Pot - 100% Fox Farm - Micorizae bi-feeding until pre-flower - No Top Dress of Dry Nutrients (recording on calendar didn't work well) - No PH - (optional) Foliar feeding 1 ~ 2 times a day (if I remember, or when plant stresses) - Only liquified Veg & Bloom dry nutrients were required (Compost tea & other Rege. can be added) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equipments: - Liquified Dry Nutrients for Veg & Bloom (2 bottles total) - Syringe for dosing each stage - 1 x 5 Gallon Bucket for dechlorinating tap water - Funnel for water transfer - Hand watering bottle ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Feed Autoflowers: No feeding until the 14th day or when the 2nd node starts to develop. Foliar feed liquefied Veg nutrients. Start feeding 1ml/L of Veg nutrients starting just above the growth point. Bring up to 60-80ml/L of Veg nutrients before pre-flower (which can be about 30 days from emergence). Switch to Bloom nutrients when pre-flower signs show, with the same dosage as your Veg. If you were feeding 80ml/L of Veg, switch to 80ml/L of Bloom and increase from there. I’ve fed Bloom nutrients up to 130ml/L. You can increase the dosage by 5-10ml/L as you increase the Veg nutrients from 1ml to 10ml. ** Increase the Veg nutrients by 1-3ml at a time. 5ml per increase could lead to overfeeding seedlings. ** Fox Farm & Coco compatible.
