First organic issues

[Prince Vegeta]

Hey how's it going ? Well I hope.
Not so good over here
I am in my first super soil run
Followed the recipe in the book
" true living organics 2edition" by the rev.
However I did NOT use the spikes like I was supposed to.
I'm now seeing issues because of my laziness.
She is 17 days into flower and im starting to get some hefty yellowing.
She has only ever gotten ro water with 5ml of botanicare calmag+ per gallon of water I added to the tank.
Is in a 5 g fabric pot
Ppm of water before cal mag is 4.
Accidentally flooded one of them one day
( all in same soil) and the runoff was 6.5
I don't ph the ro water
I'm assuming I need a tea of some sort.
But honestly I am so new to the organic i dont even know where to start.

I have her hooked up to a blunt carrot

She’s fine. Yellowing is a natural part of the growth process and being 2 1/2 weeks into flower it’s expected.

Do you have a worm bin? I topdress my girls at 2 and 4 weeks of flower with about 1” of fresh ewc. Starting your own worm bin is the best thing you can do to grow the highest quality pot!! They love it!!

If you’re worried tho, pick up some Gaia Green Power bloom 2-8-4 and topdress with that.

Have an awesome day!!

I am working on building a worm bin yes hope to have it running by the end of next week

 

[kkt3]

That’s awesome!!

If you can save as much of your scraps for the compost they will reward you.

Freeze the scraps, thaw them, and feed to the worms. The worms will make you the black gold twice as fast with the freezing.

You can make custom castings by being selective about what you add to each bin. I’m always adding comfrey to mine.

I fill up 3 coffee cans, then feed the worms a can each. I’ve got 3 bins going.

This doesn't seem like normal aging damage
Seems to be spreading
Will post better pics to ight
Having necrosis

Do you have bark or wood in that mix?

No bark or wood no
I have recently (yesterday) found some straw to put on the top as a mulch? Or rather to keep the top layer from drying out as quickly
The recipe called for spikes to be added in but I didn't get them measured out until the root system was to large for me to put them in without just dropping w bunch of amendments directly into the root system

 

[Prince Vegeta]

she is just entering her third week of 12/12 gets water via q blumat carrot
Add 5 ml/gal of botanicare cal-mag+
Each day the spread is worse.
I have two others each a week or two behind her and am worried about the same thing happening

Nitrogen. Add some ASAP lol. Not sure how u water but if you water to the point of run off everytime that will make your plant yellow off faster..and obviously u didn’t add enough Nitrogen. Fish emulsion in your water could help and a good amount of top dress. What do you have to add into your soil or into some water??

Is it possible the carrot might be keeping the soil too damp?

Would it be worth drying the pot out a little to see?

t is always pretty light i have never had runoff, usually the leaves appeared overwatered

i have some blood meal, would that work and if so can you suggest an application?

jobes organic blood meal

I have the book, but you’ll find that most supersoil growers frown on the spike thing. It adds complication to a simplified growing process. IMO, I would be scared of my roots hitting a spike that too hot.

Pull back your mulch, put a layer of blood meal slightly scratched into the soil, clover that with a layer of EWC and cover that back up with the mulch.

how much is a layer?

 

[Obepawn]

how much is a layer?

I would go off the recommendations on the bag, cause blood meal is the hottest nitrogen sources but the fastest. You could use alfalfa meal also. Less is more, remember that, especially that you are in flower. She’s in the stretch right now so she using or used up the nitrogen. Don’t heavy on the nitrogen, just enough to get through the stretch then use teas to get you to the end. The Rev has a chapter in the book on tea recipes.

 

[Obepawn]

how much is a layer?

You can copy off the layer of nitrogen he uses in his book. They an illustration of it showing a pot layered up.

 

[Obepawn]

Remember when you do teas, just enough nitrogen to keep your plant from eating it’s nitrogen stores in the fan leaves. When you get to mid late flower, the yellowing is more normal and nothing that requires you to correct.

I’m assuming you’re using 5-7 gallon bags by the looks of it so I’d say a tablespoon in each bag should be fine. Just don’t water a lot because that could be your issue. You had mentioned that you accidentally flooded them so it could be that. Add blood meal and water maybe 2-3 cups of water. You don’t want any run off

Yes 5 gal fabric pots
I have them on blumat carrots
I am still dialing them in
As of last night the pots are slightly heavy but not sopping wet
No runoff
