Growth looks good. I still see what looks like a magnesium deficiency, but my eye isn't the best for this. I also see some holes chewed so I sprayed with Epsom + azamax and some potassium silicate as an emulsifier. If I see any more pest damage I'll dust the leaves and the tents with DE.
Mg deficiency still looked ongoing so I watered with fish emulsions and calmag. I also modified my RO so it's mixing with a small amount of tap to get to 80ppm (from 10). I would use my tap alone, but my ppm is 600+, so that won't work.
I saw a fungus gnat on a leaf and at least one larvae in the soil so I dusted with DE. I'll be laying sticky traps and adding some hydroton to the surface (dusted with DE) and watering in some mosquito dunks if the DE alone doesn't help.
I raised my LEDs an additional 3", to 12" above the canopy to reduce any additional stressors.
Growth looks good. The Mg deficiency seems to be clearing up. Will keep watering with light calmag this run and modify my mix for next run.
@Belverde, thanks! This will be my first indoor all organic grow. My last outdoor grow was bruce banner and was all organic. Despite a nasty infestation of spider mites and then bud worms and being grown in some "less than ideal" soil, the taste and high were amazing.
You have some amazing grows going on there. Good luck to you.
Fungus gnat tip. Mix 1part hydrogen peroxide with 4 parts PH’ed water. It will kill the larva of the gnats and is a good supplement to help get air into your roots. You’ll need to use some neem or something to get rid of the adults and make sure they don’t come back but you’ll definitely notice a reduction in the gnats with this tip. Garden looks great man. 🤙
@ZJRDUDEZ, Thanks!
While H2O2 is fine for chemical grows, this is an all organic grow using recycled organic living soil and peroxide kills the bacteria needed to provide nutrients to the plant.
In this case I've been watering with R/O with mosquito dunk pieces (bti), adding sticky traps and dusting with DE. I also top dress with neem in veg and Karanja in flower. They are almost gone and I feel they'll be eradicated after another bti watering.
It seems the bti is taking care of the larvae very well and the sticky traps take care of the adults. I'm not sure if the DE is actually working, but I'll keep using it this round. Next round I'll be adding bti pieces to the soil, watering with bti, using no mulch in veg (to keep the top part of the soil dryer), top dressing with neem/Karanja and dusting with DE and adding sticky traps. I'll be adding the mulch in flower.
@Chronicbastard, Thanks! If I find the time to completely eradicate these gnats I may get buds as nice as yours! I almost got them all with just the DE so far.
Interesting setup!
Looking good! ☀️
I recently harvested three Gorilla Zkittlez, vey beautiful plants, sweet sweet smell, lovely purple color towards the end and massive crystals! 😁💚
Have fun with your grow! 🍀
