Ok guys week two went fast and easy on this Bruce banner auto from monster genetics. It's starting to show it's second set. I gave her her first dose of worm tea to the soil aswell as a foliar feed to prevent disease. Started incremental light increase this week this strain is very quick to respond to the light intensity it told me with her leaves very quickly right where she wanted that light and found her max without causing harm. Did have to back it down a hair though. Started pushing her around a little flexing her stem and giving light quick flicks as a result her stem is already gaining strength. She is all around healthy and happy and there are no early signs of deficiency. It's looking good and so far I'm really liking what I see. If you like auto grows or this strain in particular or if your interested in organic/living soil growing hit the follow button and watch her grow with me! Thank you for reading about my grow and all questions or comments are welcome happy growing
Hey there. Liking your grow philosophy. I'm trying something similar, but noticed my run off pH about 7.5 . Have heard pH is more self regulating in composted soil, but then people say get it lower, so I've been adjusting water to about 6.5 Now my plant looks possibly worse. Are you actively maintaining yours, is the soil already low or is it just doing what it likes?
@yinandyang, high bud so here's the deal if the plants are healthy and your growing totally organically never mess with the pH if there is a problem adjust the pH if you must but do so with organic measures lemon juice/ vinegar pH down lime for pH up also the most important part of organic growing is the soil if you having problems at all change the mix you started with I use a custom peat compost mix and I recommend sticking with peat moss because it helps to keep soil acidic when you add lime to this they try to balance each other in the middle somewhere. But the most important factor here is the microbial life in your soil if they are healthy and happy they regulate your ph for you there won't be a nutrient lockout because they will be directly feeding your plant what it needs. Feel free to pm me for more info or show me some photos and maybe I can be more specific. Either way don't give up cause this is definitely the best way and the easiest I'm the end I assure you.
