week two. Some are showing signs of nutrient burn. That is unusual as I have just added water only. This variety might be a little vulnerable to the "hotter" Ocean Forest soil. I placed a layer of perlite on top and it may be holding the water better thus less watering. I am not going to change a thing and just let them get through this early stage as is. It should work itself out with a little flushing.
@Sumgrower420, Advanced Platinum Series P300 300w 12-band LED Grow Light - DUAL VEG/FLOWER FULL SPECTRUM. This is an awesome light. Highly recommend it.
i run same soil normally but at times I mix with FF happy frog, jus curious to why you don't run nutes till wk 4? I run BioBizz Organic line an have started nutes as early as 2nd we from sprout with no problems
@phistowarrior024,
I agree with you that I don't think it would be a problem. Since i mostly grow auto flowers, I have had some bad experiences with doing nutrients too early. Some of that could have been the learning curve, but I have been trying to make the process easier and easier. By using a "hotter" soil, delaying the nutrients a little and reducing the light schedule to 18/6(and this is just my belief here), I am putting the plants in a less stressful situation. There is a lot of great work out there(and on this site) by guys with great experience really pushing the plants to get great yields and super dense nuggets. With that though comes more possible problems and the need to really recognize what is going on with the plants so that they don't stress out. I am coming from the angle that a lot of folks don't have that experience yet or maybe don't want to get that deep into the whole process. I am trying to present a process that works for me that is simpler and easier to replicate. If you grow for yourself then you want good quality not necessarily great quantity. Hope that helps. BTW, there are great diaries here with some of those guys sharing exactly how much and when, so for those who want to go there just find your favorite grower. follow along, and copy his/her techniques. That is what I am going to do on my next one....if I get to that is. :)
@Sumgrower420, thx. I t is my first time using these nutes. I think I like them pretty good so far. Normally with the autos I use half strength because they burn so easily, but these don't seem to. I use a "hot" soil so I usually don't start adding nutes until after week 4. I think these would have been good to start with right away. So far, at least on the "simple" schedule, I think they look pretty easy to use and you would really have to go hard to burn the plants. You really have to watch the ph because they bring it way down, but only take about 1/2 tablespoon/gallon to raise it to 6. Overall I recommend so far.
Going to be following, haven't been growing too long myself. I use the same soil, looking forward to learning some tips and seeing how you do it. I have very limited experience with auto's may pop in with questions from time to time. Good luck 😎
Welcome to our belove site of great plants and awesome tips and techniques! I'm growing one of these bad boys right now and am in week 8 so excited to see this grow also and damn mine are super dank and super sticky and got 8 weeks left! But again welcome and happy growing
Amazing harvest, man. Now i realize that either I'm not getting colas as fat as yours, or that I still have to wait a couple more weeks. I'm on week 6 of flowering right now and it seems pretty close to harvest but not as fat. Can you can check my diary and give your opinion on the looks? Thank you!
That's looking beautiful, good job getting the RH back up.
I just found out that my 25 was the reason for the lackluster growth the last few days... owell corrected!
