Watered all 3 today gave them each about a teaspoon and half of bat guano topped with a heaping pile of ewc's I added about .8g tm7 per gallon of water I think this will be the last dose of it

I was struggling to get my soil balanced. Since switching to a one part organic nute instead of top dressing. It’s made life easier and no deficiencies.
I just run
1 part worm castings
1 part coco
2 parts compost
1 part perlite
Some lime, crab meal, kelp meal, fish bone meal
Then just feed nutes every second water. I feed nutes every time after week 3 of flower seems to be working.

Awesome thanks Dusty how manny runs do you get out of soil I know some people just keep recycling theres that's the level I'd like to get to one day. Once I use up all my blood and bone meal I plan to use only plant or sea based ammendments. And I'd like to get to the point of just having a raised bed and run no till soil in it. Since this is my first organic grow I've been learning lots and still have lots to learn. Looks like I'm on track for a new cmh light for the next round. I got 3 more wedding cake seeds coming in the mail and one Tropicana gookies and hindu kush auto the order is coming with a freebie but I cant remember the name its another auto

I just keep using it I basically have enough for 2 grows. I just freshen it up a bit by adding a little bit of fresh soil and pull as many roots out of the way of the old shit. I use it in my veggies so I’m sort of adding a bit every six weeks

Awesome sounds good I'm not sure what kind of deficiency I'm dealing with but is seems minor for now hopefully the guano helps if not the plants are still nice and perky and dont seem to be to bothered I'm also wondering if possibly is a ph issue caused by my last top dressing. Maybe I was a bit to heavy handed anyways I cant afford to loose another plant it hurts to much lol

Was the hermie under the blurple?

Yes and oddly enough in the same spot in my tent as last round when I had another hermie at week 7
It looked slightly starved for light. I think the light might be the culprit because it looked healthy. I new a bloke with a bestva and it did it to him two grows in a row

Good to know I was hoping it was the light but that sounded a bit crazy my plan is to ditch the mars and go with the 315cmh and get a new bulb for my 150w hps

I think I'll use the mars for seed starting for the spring veggie garden
I would build a veg cupboard or tent (cheap is best for veg lol) for it double your turn around. You could constantly flower in the tent you have now and you’ll be ok if you lose some plants. If its something your into food for thought.

Problem is were only allowed 4 plants in Canada which is stupid if you ask me but it's the law

4 is better then none I hope my country catches up. I’m in the shit whatever happens. The laws aren’t to bad here but I’m going to pull back a bit and just grow bigger plants on a scrog.
Some of mine are getting top heavy

Hopefully it's crazy that its illegal in the first place mine are just starting to get a bit top heavy on the zkittles glue anyways the triple cheese is still looking a bit sickly and I think the gelato is ok to i put my scrog in at 12" I'm thinking next time if I use it I'll put it in just before the stretch is done. I like the idea of the scrog net but find it challenging when it comes to watering and top dressing. I was thinking on my next round to try mainlining havent decided what I'm going to run yet one will be a dinamed cbd and two of my auto flowers I was thinking of vegging the two photos till the autos are done but we will see.

Watered all 3 today and gave them a bit of oyster shell flour as the triple cheese is looking like it may have a calcium deficiency only two tablespoons worth topped it off with a bit of ewc's I figure I'm probably about 20 to 30 days from harvest hopefully the soil will hold out. I may just buy some ffof for my next grow till I get more comfortable with amending and recycling soil. I'll just set the soil from this grow aside for now.

The gelato is still packing on frost and the zkittles glue is doing the same and the triple cheese is a sad looking plant that's all I got to say about it. I'll snap some pictures tomorrow of them here's some leaves that look like the "ca deficiency" 20191210_031731.jpg20191210_031753.jpg

As promised... I brushed up against the zkittles glue when taking photos it's really dank and is still winning in the bud size department. The gelato is still has the most frost and the triple cheese is just beginning to pack on some frost. Looks like based on plant size I'll probably yield the most off the gelato
