Hello Roll it up :),
Was hoping you guys and gals could help me diagnose and fix my babies. I've already spent days and days combing through forums and decided to make one for myself. So it all started in solo cups under florescent lights In sunshine advanced #4. I was watering about every 4 to 6 days with BoogieBrew compost tea and they started to dance like the brew says. Then there was a hold up in getting the metal halide's so they were not transplanted into bigger containers at the ideal time... Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I've provided some pics to help20160219_181646.jpg20160219_181723.jpg20160219_181628.jpg

B52 with some rapid start and 50% power organic grow

the issue is the soil .......it does not have power for the plant to use and compost teas work on micros more then offer NPK values for the plant

order that feed kit it is all organic ........u will need some pipettes 1ml and 3ml 500 count each it makes it mixing the feeds up easier lasted me 3 and half years

this is a plant destresser has a good N ratio plus some vits to help the plant will decrease recovery time/a quick form of N for the plant to use

sunshine #4 is a great base soil as they sell it with mix of good micro/fungi in it and nice drain
but really has not power in it ......u want to mix in some worm casting bat poop and other things to add power (NPK value to the soil)

the soil is designed for organic feeding ........the compost tea NPK value is just to weak so u need to get some Feeds to add in .....everything i told yah will allow u to call it organic grown

I would like to stay completely organic I have heard that bottled nutes r generally not organic I have all of the ingredients to make super soil but did not have time to mix it up and cook it yet thinking it will be ready when I go outside I'll fill my holes with the super soil but until then u mentioned that a boost of nitrogen would help? I have high N bat guano would that be too strong for such a stressed out plant... I've also been thinking magnesium deffiency

you can't dump worthless b-52 in and call it organic. you aren't helping dude, you're sending him out to spend money on shit instead of finding the real issue.

don't use distilled water, that is what is causing your issues. get some cal/mag and do a couple waters with it, they will green right up.

So if I don't use distilled can I fill up my 55 gallon reservoir with well water and maybe a chlorine filter? My water source is not in the same building so I would need to hose it in

i said my peace all that stuff is organic based ......100% about the feed kit

the b52 is proven to help decrease the stress on the plant

as for adding the N .......it is fairly obv since u are in veggie stage that is the main value need along with the fact the leaves are yellow that is caused from lack of N or lack of Iron .....i putting the vote on N since u had them in a much smaller container and moved them late

edit oh and the red vein it has and the fact i know compost tea is not strong in any NPK atleast none of the brands i know

well water 100% ok just to add in holding tank
city water u need a filter to remove all the added chemicals they use to kill roots (stop them breaking the pipes) .....other choice is purge out in a hot bath tub (hot water allow it to cool to room temp then transfer to holding tank) the heat plus large surface area allow the chemicals to air purge

Should I put an airator stone in it to keep it from being stagnant?

the honest truth none dressing the top is not something i done .........i use the organic grow (ppl talk all kinds of shit but if they are selling as organic it has to meet the standards they made to allow them to call it organic (plus poop and liquid fish u can not be any more organic)

u buy a tarp and mix the soil up in a open area of your house .......use the quick cook method it is ready in (just carbon and epson salt to kick start the break down process) .....use a 55 gallon trash can keep it some place inside warm for 2 weeks and u are ready to rock

untill then use the feed system to get the plants back on track then transfer over to your good soil ..........honestly that is my best advice to get the most out of it with a no fail option

in the holding tank
u have 30 days u can hold untreated water......are u going to cycle the tank with in 30 days u are ok ..........do a flush sanitize 1 or 2 a year
organic food grade
here this is the stuff u want .........http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064O7VYY
they answer what it is made of in the ? section

as for adding a stone to the holding tank bad idea it will allow things to grow faster since it has high oxygen

well water is fine, put it in your 55 gal and add stone to aerate. Get some cal/mag. that will fix your problem. Keep it simple. I would forget what this other dude is telling you. he is clueless.
