Soil Mix
Ganjeestarted grow question 5 years ago
I have transplanted to a 5gallon pot now. Equal mix of Fox Farm Happy frog, ocean forest, and Promix HP. Added perlite, dolomite lime to 5.9 ph. Should this be a ok mix. Also how long do these normally last. Before needing to add liquid nutes

Wow Ocean Forest and Happy Frog and other additives? OF runs a little hot all by itself, while HF is loamy and dense.
Let us know if you have soil compaction by end of grow. -> Dolomite might help that out, even with perlite in it.
As far as how long the soil lasts before you add liquid nutes, I'll give my scenario.
I run FFOF and Light Warrior in a 3/1 solution, and I never feed until after at least 30 days. With HF instead, your micronutrients could last even longer.
But if you dont like your how your vegetative plants look, before that, you could start the feedings at a 50% strength.

These 3 differents soils are already giving very good results when using them solo so all together the mix should be nice , no need to mix during up to 3 weeks .I would have mix some dried nutrients like bone meal or dried blood to enrich the soil and have a longer period without using liquid nutrients. Next time you can also turn any soil in a super soil by using the Greenhouse organic dry nutrients or if you are in the US the Mr B's Green three dry nutz , they can allow you to grow from seed to harvest with only water.

Good soil mix. Just wait another week then slowly start feeding nutes.

That’s one hell of a mix you got there! Definitely way up and above but it will work great! It should have plenty of food for 2-3 weeks of life! You should be able to tell when it wants to eat ! Typically depending on your watering schedule when you get into week 3 she’ll be strong enough for nutes! Day -14-17 is typical with that types of mix! Good luck 👍🍀

Nutrient LockoutI'm guessing this is nutrient lockout. Yesterday they were thirsty, so I watered by usual two gallons of aquarium water, but added no other nutrients. It only seems like one plant is being affected. How long should I withhold any nutrients; should I dial back when I do resume?

First harvestWelcome to the members. It will be my first harvest. How much time do you think you have left? I asked this question a week ago, but the flowers swelled up a lot in a week. Can you leave 2 more weeks? In such a case, should I start washing with only clean water with a pH?

Flushing or feedingIm already flushing the plant for 2 weeks but as the Trichomes are not changing much it will need some more time to fully develop. I want to see some (10%) amber trichomes.What should I do now? Continue flushing or give some organic nutrients again? Probably need 2 weeks more.

High ppm in drainageI flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?a year ago
