Day 128 since being cloned. One week of flowering complete, eight weeks to go. So BubbleGum has been put into flower and stretching as I would expect. The joke is on me, as my other grows have been plagued with feeding and amendment problems and so BubbleGum comes in having vegged the same amount of time in the big pot and same mix - its a hot potato. As it stands, if I applied plant food at this point it would ruin the buds. Other plants have taken the hits and so BubbleGum will get no food for some time, after stretch for sure. I am irrigating with alot of water, the most recent being a flush, with the hope of making a dent into any amendment left. When I start to see some nice nutrient fade I will feel confident to feed with plant food. No nitrogen!
My flowering lighting is alternating 300watt full spectrum LEDs identical to my veg. tent, and 96watts worth of yellow light targeting the 500-800nm range.
@@Aiiogrow,yep. Just to be clear: its an ethyl group alcohol, just typical moonshine you make in a traditional still. Fractionally distilled to 90+% ABV.
It seems to have saturated and killed the mites with regular spraying, especially under the leaves. If it gets really wet it does need some air circulation/fan breeze. It doesn’t evaporate that fast that it can’t cause damage if soaked.
It does kill gnats on contact, but it seems to be more effective at discouraging them more than anything. That, combined with other measures, also worked with gnats. Like if you water and have flies that emerge, you can have the alcohol spray ready to fire. It will kill some, injure some, discourage some, etc.
It is a consumable though, I went through alot getting on top of all the problems. You have to be content making large quantities, which my source is.
@@BeanswithPork, Always nice work from you. Wish I had your green thumb, I fail at keeping my plants happy n healthy thru out the grow cycle every time I tried soil (perhaps it's the soil?).
@TheUsualSuspect, I noticed the soil matters, alot. A really light, good draining soil with small particle size is perfect. If it has mycorrhizae its a bonus (otherwise gotta add microlife). That has to be the bulk lest you risk poor drainage, too much nutrient, other problems. It also has to be available in bulk and affordable.
Sunshine Soil #4 or HP ProMix soil is reliable. Mostly peat moss and perlite.
