How long does it take for fine dolomite lime to be...
DWCHCanswered grow question 5 years ago
Anytime you water there will be leeching. So yes you'll lose some and some will get used and stored by any mycorrhiza that's there... The bulk of it will be working in cation land in he soil and some will get absorbed by the plant.. the mycorrhiza are the best way to get the calcium into the plant, that's assuming you used calcitic lime and not dolomitic lime... For organic alternatives, washed and powdered oyster shells work great, they also contain trace elements as well..
if you don't mind using base salts, calcium nitrate is a great source of calcium in solution, just watch the pH, it can be quite acidic and will lower it.. a small amount of Epsom salt with a pinch of chelated iron and you've got yourself a CalMag. Cheers!

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia.
Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed.
What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

Defoliation in SCRoG - Leave it or do it?Tomorrow will be day 21 of 12/12. I am of the opinion of letting the plant canabilise itself for nutes that are stored for exactly what it needs, when it needs *which it is doing on the low/no light leaves but what are other peoples opinions/experience. Canopy is as healthy as!Leaves. Dropping off

Is periodic, light defoliation ok for autoflowers?Hi Growmies!
As a beginner, I decided to leave one plant untrained, but I am noticing some large fan leaves preventing light from reaching lower branches. Is it ok (or beneficial) to periodically remove a large fan leaf if it is blocking light? I hear autos are tricky.

Cut or keep topped branches? (1st day of flower)I have 2 budsites on my plants that I needed to top due to dying growth (either from windburn or trellis net). Both are on thick stems & pass the trellis net. It is now the first day of flower, should I cut these stems back or let them grow out? Maybe cut the one that is “sick”?

Remove lower branchesWould it be beneficial to also remove these lower branches? It's my first grow so I'm not sure if this would be useful. I'm in about week 3-4 of flower, but don't know if this would create bigger buds on the main branches. Experienced growers help me out pls xp
