JUNGLE_B4RNSanswered grow question 3 years ago

These days horticultural soil are well oxygenated enough to be watered daily, but it’s better to follow plants need by lifting the pots and water again when they aren’t heavy anymore. When you use nutrients, the minerals turns into salt (NaCl, KCl, ...) by crystallization after a while when they’re not used by the plant. Adding nutrients everyday must be done wisely, using an EC meter and very low amounts of ppm’s, if you don’t have the experience in mineralogy it will lead you to over feeding where you will diagnose symptoms like tips of the leaves starting to become clear and burned. I would suggest you to get an EC meter to track and control your plants nutrition.

Thanks again people . Yeah i have bin seeing that plants got to Mutch nutrients so i will def wait before giving nut . The EC meter is on it's way . It was my mistake not getting from the start . Luckily all my plants have a couple days in between each other so i can fix what I did wrong .

I don't always feed with every watering in soil. Find that I get salt build up when I just feed with every water.

You have some drooping / wilting, however also some dark green shiny leafs. This means also a bit heavy on the nitrogen. So a flush might not be a bad idea!

BioBudsanswered grow question 3 years ago

Ok so your pots are not too big, So you want to water the first day with feeds (maybe only half to 3/4 ltr per plant), let the soil dry again (some let the plants even ask for water and only give again when drooping) so after 2 or 3 days in your case, depending on temp and humidty, airflow etc. you do another feed. Again letting it dry (top inch dry to touch), under here only moist. You can choose (especcially if you have saltbuildup on top of the soil), to do a flush with just PH water. It depends how rich the soilmix was that you started with... Good Luck!!!

Which fertilizer should be used in the early flowering stage?There is an autoflower plant that has just started to bloom. I water twice a week, one with fertilizer and one without fertilizer. Do you think it should be switched to bloom fertilizer at this stage, or should grow fertilizer be given for another week since it is still growing?

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you
