Grow Questions

borneopotheadstarted grow question 5 years ago

I live in a place where nutrients are difficult to find. I have a bottle of nutrients which contain calcium 15% w/v magnesium 5% w/v and boron 3% w/v labelled on the bottle. How should i mix this and how often should i add to my plant?

The coco grow & bloom will do fine for now but I'm not sure about the other bottle of nutes pictured it has very high amounts in it I definitely would'nt be using it on young plants, I use Bio Diesel CaMg+ and it only has 9% Ca, 1.5% Mg & 0.1% B

Hey mate, you can start lst on her now. I usually start training my auto's at week 2-3 as soon as the fan leaves start covering up and shading the rest of the plant. I would also just let her grow out in the pot she's already in Auto's don't really like to be transplanted or messed with in any way, but for more size & yeild you should at the least be using a 2-3 gal pot and fabric is better.

your not getting enough n. try also adding some kelp and cal mag, water very lightly, your plant will bounce back but you really need to baby it, check your ph levels at the bottom as well, looks also like your ph is off , so to fix grab some kelp and grab cal mag, up your feed of nitrogen just by a little. for now let the soil dry a bit, when you water use just the cal mag and kelp , kelp helps plants rebound and cal mag helps the plant put its growth in a happy place

Diagnosis? Is this nute burn or nitrogen toxicity?

Slight burn. You're feeding MORE than the manufacturer recommends and manufacturer recommendations are notoriously over what your plant wants. Dial it back a bit, see where 4mL/L takes you after doing a water only feed or two.

Flowering has begun. Plant is very small. Hope to do better on my next grow. Pistils are growing well under HPS lighting.

So happy its in its final week before harvest. The plant is rather small but healthy. Did too many transplant that shocked the plant which stunted its growth. Will do better next time.

You could harvest now if you really want to but I would wait another week for a more longer lasting high, usually when aprox 80-90% of the white pistils have changed colour and showing whiplash. Going by your photo you have aprox 40-50% turned but your top pistils are still erect which means it's still going, this is only a estimate because this can vary within different strains so the way to know for sure is to inspect the trichomes but you'll need some sort of magnifier.

With Autoflowers leave the lights on 18/6 or 20/4 hr cycle and use at least a 3 gal pot from start to finish don't transplant, evrything you do slows down the rate of growth and Autoflowers don't live for long so time is limited.
