(11/18 Day 31/37)
Toxicity apparent in almost all plants. Their roots had just gotten to the living soil at the bottom of their pots. which means my feed was not only unnecessary, but horribly timed. Consider revising future feeding schedules to match each plants needs.
(11/20 Day 33/39)
Inspected one of the solo cup plants (EB/BD) and found that the roots had reached the end of their container just that week. Roots looking healthy and secondary roots looking fuzzy! Multiple plants have shown the signs for transplant. Minor leaf curling, reddening of some stems slightly, quickly running out of water. Planning on ordering more soil, building my mixture up and then up-sizing all current plants and starting a new round of seeds in the next couple of days!
(11/21 Day 34/40)
Watered today after letting soil thoroughly dry over the course of 5 days to increase mineral salt concentrations so the microflora in the living soil can break them down after the excess the plants experienced. This does increase signs of excess for the first few days, but they have started the rebound! Multiple plants have already responded to the previous watering, and the colour of the leaves is returning to normal. Will transplant in 2-3 days if soil arrives on time.
**FINAL pH: 6.25**
Gave a thorough neem oil/soap/water misting to the tops and bottoms of the leaves as well as the soil to combat thrips in the garden, 30 min before lights out, Will do more research on how to combat thrips effectively. Highest plant (Annabeth) measured at 5.4".
(11/22 Day 35/41)
I went on vacation, had my buddy Matt plantsit. Plants looking wonderful.
(11/23 Day 36/42)
Still on vacation. Plants baking hot for some reason an had a crazy low humidity. Sad but this is most likely where the problem occurred. Average temp for those 24 hrs was 84 and avg humidity was 40. The plants havent been watered in 5 days by this point.
@Zannabis7, To you as well, ill follow some along! I wanted to go the organic route in the beginning myself but just ended up doing living soil for acouple months! Good chatting bud! :)
@Frak_Toggleson, I totally agree. Being a connoisseur of cannabis growing (and gardening in general) I find that growing is a total science. This is one of the things i most enjoy about growing cannabis during the winter months indoors. Getting and keeping the conditions just right is an art form (especially in a closet 😊). I love the challenge of perfecting the conditions and the feeding regimen. It is both and art and a science that keeps me learning, fascinated, and intrigued. I too have a "ton of shit" but try to stick with strictly organic nutrients because it all becomes personal stash for myself and gifts for my good friends. Best wishes...
@Zannabis7,Thanks for stopping by. Yeah there are a few of em! In retrospect two of them do the same thing as each other (BIG BUD and Terpinator), and another one of them has additives I wouldnt prefer for future grows to apply foliarly with my Chitosan! (Bud Factor X has Mag Sulfate and Potash in it as well for some reason, which just fucks with my entire foliar regiment since Mag Sulfate chemically creates a polymer with Silica, which obviously the plants cant absorb, it turns into strings of brown globs.... gross) The fact of the matter is, there are two schools of thought: Minimalism and profligately styles. Now, knowing what I know now though, there are a few things I think that both styles have wrong. The finesse of proper nutrition is far more complex than just having the right stuff for your plants at the right time. Proper nutrition is a complex issue that involves all your plants conditions throughout its entire life culminated to the present. This is a verbose way of saying, I HAVE A TON OF SHIT, but it cann be useful if used correctly.
Your girls are looking great! How’s the deficiency coming along? Flush your medium yet? Are you satisfied with the results you have using Terpinator? I was thinking about grabbing some but heard mixed reviews.
@greenleafcultivators, Hey man! The def should be sorted at this point, but the necrotic spots won't go away of course, I'll defoliate in acouple weeks probably! Still haven't made my way to flushing, but honestly I wouldn't buy Terpinator. It's literally only Potassium Sulfate and water. The dominant use of potassium sulfate is as a fertilizer. K2SO4 does not contain chloride, which can be harmful to some crops. Potassium sulfate is preferred for these crops, which include tobacco and some fruits and vegetables. Crops that are less sensitive may still require potassium sulfate for optimal growth if the soil accumulates chloride from irrigation water.
So unless you use hardwater vs soft or RO use a regular PK booster! Chitosin is really what you'd be interested in for Essential Oil concentration increases!
Hi my friend, your plants look great. I would like to get some advices from your experiences, it's my first planting.
That's why I have problems on when to harvest my plant. Would you please look at my diary and tell me around when should I harvest my plant?
Additionaly, I'm thinking that I will have 150 gr dried harvest. What is your opinion, do I have to wait for something less? Thank you. ☺️😇
@hiciste, Thanks mate! I wish I could offer any experience I have, but this is my first grow as well! Im sure others will be able to help out though! Stop by to give me some pointers yourself though! Ill be following your harvest now too :)
I use both mykos and azos products when I transplant I dip the roots, and I use Orca by Plant Success every 2 weeks when I water. you may want to try sprinkling it over the soil and watering it in so that you don’t have to worry about it dissolving into the water. I have done this in the past with good results.
@DeepRoot3d, Decided to switch to some of AN's line. Ordering Tarantula, Piranha, and Voodoo Juice. Connoisseur Grow/Bloom, Bud Factor X, Rhino Skin, and Bud Ignitor are in transit atm!
They're looking incredible. I can't wait to see them, they change so much when I look away! I especially love just how white they're getting- WOAH! Those pictures need to be viewed in 4k. 😉
This is some top notch topping and training buddy. She is looking absolutely beautiful. Looks like your nutrient ratios are turning out very nicely. You've done some amazing work to be very proud of here buddy. Cheers!
