BioBizz soil plant: 53cm
Garden compost soil plant 48cm
I bought a pH pen and tested my nutrients and soil runoff. pH of nutrients was 6.5 (tap water was at 7.6). However the run off from the garden compost plant was 7.2. I flushed with at least 10 litres of rainwater at pH 5.6 and the runoff stayed at 7.2. The runoff was consistently medium brown coloured suspension which suggested that there was a lot of dissolvable material in the soil. The plant had shown signs of slight curling down of leaves with the last feed - so I decided to go easy on the biogrow for this plant. I gave more biogrow to the biobizz soil plant as the lower leaves had been yellowing. I also gave it over a litre of water instead of the 0.5 litre I had been giving previously. As I was concerned about the pH of soil in the garden compost soil - I also repotted it with a layer of new multipurpose compost at the bottom.
This treatment seemed to go down well with the biobizz soil plant as it went through a stretch to overtake the garden compost plant (which may have stalled a little due to the repotting and flushing).
However the garden compost plant is producing more trichomes than the biobizz soil plant and is smelling more. The garden compost plant is a lot more bushy and the leaves are not as slender as the biobizz soil plant. I've been folding in leaves to get more light to the buds and taking the plants into the bright sunlight we've been having recently.
Spraying with a calcium/magnesium/seaweed spray everyday also seems to have helped and nutrient/pH problems seem to have stopped. I'm still being careful about defoliation until I'm secure the plants are happy!
Comments welcome as always
Sorry to hear about the fall. But the ladies still look happy and healthy. Some really nice buds there. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck with the rest of the journey.
I'm growing one of these atm and she isnt doing so well, the plant seems too have slowed in growth around day 26 - but it's only slightly smaller than yours at day 23, I've given it Cal mag and Bio bizz biogrow but are getting some yellowed tipped leaves so possible nute burn but will be giving a massive flush too see if I can fix it
