1) Sulfur def or maybe start of calcium def

2) underwatering or way overwatering.

1. Very probably, the rainwater is quite acidic and I started to give a little thrive as I felt the plant now .75m high and 1m wide is exhausting the nutes in the 25l container of home-made compost. Could be time for a wood ash drink.

2. I think you may be right on the money - underwatering. The growing medium is so porous, the water runs out of the bottom within 5 secs, the tips are lifting up now. I reckon the plant needs watering daily. I've been cautious with the watering, as I've read that too much water is worse than too little.

Some folks obviously don't sit well with the Silly Season.....

I'm not religious in any way, shape or form. I just don't "do" religion.

Worked on the house-build yesterday & got ferociously sunburnt....:(

Today I've up-potted my Carolina Reaper & Naga Viper chillies that have beeen in the Big tent alongside the weed girls. I've currenty got them on a manual flood to saturate the coco.

They'll go into my greenhouse once they've had a good drink. I've got a F&D Res-change planned for tomorrow, so I'm not fussed about particulate matter either way. It'll all just get dumped.

I reckon they've been getting too much Nitrogen (hence the huge leaves), but will hand-water them from now on.

4 x Wonder Woman clones need a decision on what to do with them. 'Haven't decided yet:

Then there's the established Wonder Woman clones to deal-with......

And then there's the Green Crack that's just gagging to be cloned & given a damn-good seeing-to:

She's DEFINITELY a Mother plant.......

when i ran the power to my grow and put an extra grey pipe up my pole to the meter it would have been easy as to have bypassed the meter then, but i just went into a fuse line and pay the extra for the grow :wall:

going fully Led, that helps a little bit,

direct from them is probably it at the moment unless someone else buys a pallet. Pops garden was the original formula anyway. They’re on formula 3/4 now. To save on shipping get the 2 part and only buy the part A. Part b is just calcium nitrate which can be bought cheap within Australia from any ag supply shop.

I haven’t used it yet. I’ve still got about 5-6 kg of the original formula left that I imported.

Nice one you are set for a while. Do you think the new formula has enough of everything for a lazy grower to use without additives? I think I read that you had to provide customs with information on it, will I have to do that on 2.5 kg order?

it’ll be pot luck. You might have to or you might not. I haven’t heard of anyone else having the same issues I had.

the only additives I’d add other than the cal nit would be some mono potassium phosphate also available hella cheap though an ag shop.

if your going to import it just drop the extra dollars on the full sack, most of the cost is shipping. Sell a kg or 2 too some mates

Knowing my luck customs will lol. Oh I will have to go over your old posts to see how much I need to add when the time comes. I don’t really have grower mates but I can’t refuse a discount so big bag it is. Appreciate you taking the time to respond Reza, have a good one cheers.

Any issues with customs can be resolved by emailing the manufacturer and submitting the required ingredients list to customs. Go off the calculator on the website, once you know what your doing you can tweak the cal/nit levels in veg and the mpk in mid/late flower to suit your needs/plants.

That’s great to know it will be well worth the effort if it becomes a problem. This is the cal nit I have http://agtechglobal.com.au/products/x-cal-8 do you think the mag zinc and boron will go well with mega Crop? I can just get normal cal nit to be safe if you reckon.

that’s cal/nit with extras. I’d get some regular cal nit salt. A 25kg bag is like $80 or something same with mpk (mkp depending on brand).
I find these guys are pretty good on price for smaller amount although I should probably cave and go buy a 25kg sack and never Have to buy more. https://www.petandgarden.com.au/liquid-soluble-fertiliser/2596-mono-potassium-phosphate-25kg.html

Calcium Nitrate (Soluble) - ENFIELD PRODUCE

Soluble Calcium Nitrate. Nitrogen 15.5%, Calcium 19.3%. A top dress fertiliser that provides nitrogen and calcium nutrition for vegetables, fruits, vines, flowers, turf and ornamentals.

Although that stuff you linked would make an absolute banging foliar feeding mix you can use all the way through veg and stretch. Looks very similar to a product I use from nts.
