Afghan Kush w/ GO Nutes

HI!

This is my first grow journal. I hope people can learn from my experience.


I'm growing 6 Afghan Kush clones under 1 600W MH in an unused bathroom/laundry room. The soil mix is 50% coco-coir peat mix and 50% organic worm castings. I'm using all the nutrients in the General Organics line except for Diamond Black. I will be topping the clones to get 8 colas a-la the mainlining thread here on rollitup.


ENJOY!

Hi everyone, thanks for reading! Today's issue is spider mites. I'm making a batch of habanera pepper spray thanks to this wonderful thread. I've also been using a 2% rosemary oil solution to kill them systemically. Results to come soon!




As you can see I've got some red-stem issues, which I have read is a K (potassium) issue. I've been giving them a foliar feeding once per week of Roots Organics' Extreme Serene (basically kelp spray with a chelating agent). Hopefully that helps. I've also increased their nutes to the recommended 2 tablespoons/gallon of BioThrive Grow.

hey mate. subbed.

Hey thanks!

i wouldnt worry about those stems. some strains just have purple stems

I'm subd. I'm also using the GO nuts as well. Can't wait to see how it works out. Happy growing.

Home depot has a neem oil concentrate.. Its my best friends and bugs are never really an issue

Good luck with your grow man!

I only worry because they were nice and green when I bought them, and then turned red over the course of a week due to me not wanting to over fertilize them. I'm pretty sure its a deficiency due to my paranoia, but any experience with this issue is welcome! This chart says I probably have an NPK issue as well. View attachment 2320540

Thanks FUBAR!

The GO nutes have been great for me, and I just started brewing compost tea with them as well. I'm definitely going to try the SuperSoil recipe soon for my next grow though and just go full-out-bulk-organic growing.

I have used Neem Oil in the past and can vouch for it. It definitely works. I'm now looking for a home-grown alternative so I can stop shelling out money to a middle-man. (also its smell is something hard to get used to). I'm going to get some Habaneros, plant some of those suckers and grow some spider-mite destruction. In the mean time I'll make some pepper spray and back it up with the 2% rosemary oil solution.

If only I could row my own Neem Tree

Thanks Dank! I like your sig, proper for internet forums
