Yeah I'd go the full recommended dose as the girls are hungry. Im not sure if you should water until runoff in this particular situation... I've done bottled nutrients with coco only with good sucess which requires watering until runoff. Im concerned the earth worm castings will change the way...
Thats the thing, the op added worm castings to the medium and will now hold moisture better than just coco and works differently than only coco. Thats why im recommending organics instead of synthetics.
Like i said, it's too late for the microbes to bounce back in time to break down the organic mater into nutrients and feed the plants sufficiently to not stunt the growth significantly.you're better off with bottled stuff. If you want to try it again next time go ahead but it's gonna be rough in...
I peeped in on this thread with images of buckets of soil half filled with water and an air-stone planted underneath. I felt relief when it was just a split grow lmao pretty cool comparative grow concept though, keep updating!
Canuk switched to living soil recently too, probably because it makes more sense than trying to grow organic in coco lol. Worm castings are expensive too.
Lol i just caught on ewc is earth worm castings. My bad.... im terrible with abbreviations. Either way the earth worm castings don't have any life left in em to break down the amendments enough in time to feed em. I'd opt for some organic liquid fertilizer instead of synthetics, it may be...
Yeah man, it's too late too add the worm castings, they have to be mixed in prior to planting. Either feed em with a bottle or you'll lose em. The instructions are on the bottles, and if you're unsure you can usually contact the company directly.
Yeah Man I agree 100%. run off is a big no no for organics period. You want to give just enough water to saturate the medium. Watering until Runoff will flush out and down microbes and chelated nutrients.
At this point you should probably ditch dry amendments. I deleted this post to give a more detailed explination. Go get some liquid nutriments, either organic or not but make sure its all bio-available. You can also get powdered synthetics that tou mix into water. Cheers
It is not recommended to add dry organic amendments that require time to break down and become available to plants in coco alone. The microbial life required to make organic amendments available will also break down the coconut fiber, limiting the coco’s ability to hold minerals by the time the...
I'm thinking the op isn't adding enough if any calcium or magnesium either, the new growth is wilting and stunted. I'm curious as to what is being used to feed the plant.
I dry/cure mine out in my cold storage, it's 15C and 60%RH with minimal airflow. Acts like a room sized jar. 2 years ago i didn't even bother trimming, would just rip buds off the branches and pick off the leaves lol. Epic laziness
