thanks a bunch for tryin to help me
well im using black gold coco mix with added perlite cuz the soil is moisture hold. it drains fine and usally takes 3-4 days to completly dry out. and i think i know what ur sayin about usin 1/4 nutes just more water
well it has coco in it it is also has soil in it and its all organic soil. so then ur sayin i should flush again. here is my feed schedule since the flush. ok so its bean more then 8 days since the flush. i flushed on 2-24-10,and then on 2-28-10 i fed them with 1/2 tsp cal/mag, and 1 tsp of veg nutes cuz i thought at first it was a nitro def. and then on 3-5-10 i fed them 1 tsp of veg nutes, 1 tsp of bloom nutes, and also 1tsp of earth juice micro blast. and just today i water with just 1 tsp of mallases
Thanks integra. I'll be sure to include a smoke report as soon as possible. Still a few weeks left till they're smokable, that is my partner's crop. Mine is still seven to ten weeks away until harvest, they are sativa dominant strains.
MCP Im starting to think that its the soil itself. I can see with my new grow that the soil i reused is really root restrictive. I pulled #2 last night once i confirmed it was a dude and my roots at 4 wks from seed are not where they were in fresh soil from grow 2. Does this make sense or am i baked. lol. Ive been hearing that reusing soil is a no no. Im a believer now. Although mom is doing ok i can see the diff from fresh new soil to the hot water cleaned and reused. Just fruit for thought my friend. Its shitty because if thats the culprit its a hard fix. Keep your chin up sonny.. Peace 1BMM
Alright Tat another WHO DAT brother in the house. Been a Saints fan for years. Actually i used to live just outside nola. But back to roots. Ghetto and wisshin id stayed down south. lol love it down there.
Heads Up old buddy. I cant see why if the worms where dead that theyd be any diff. Maybe even better cuas of how fresh they are?. They say fruits and veggies start loosing there vitamin & minerals almost immediately after harvest. Maybe could be the same factor?. Interesting topic. Hope some more 600ers will enlighten us. Peace 1BMM.
i checked the ph of the run off when i flushed and cant test the ec,i dont know what ec even is. but the ph reading was at about 5. i used the liquid test drops at that time but i never had a prob usin it cause all my plants seem healthy until a few weeks after fower started. i have since got A digi ph meter and have been watering with ph of 6.5-6.8. and they dont seem to be bouncin back their still getin more yellow and leafs droppin also the tips of the yelow leafs start to cutl backwards at the tips and dry up. i wil ph the runoff in the next feed. i can check the runoff when feeding right?
here is my recipe I feed them every watering and im using bx pro mix.....for vegging i feed them Grow Big, Big bloom and Liquid Karma (Liquid Karma is the secret ingridient and is awesome it will have your leaves reaching for the sky!). When they are seedlings i feed them plain water with 10 drops super thrive ph 6.0 When they start to grow and veg I start them with 1/4 tsp grow big, 1 tsp Liquid Karma and 1 tsp big bloom. I usually keep feeding them the same amounts until I think they are ready for 1/2 tsp grow big (usually 8 inches). They only see maybe 2 or 3 waterings with 1 full teaspoon grow big and then its transplant time ( 15 inches). I keep them at 1 tsp liquid karma and 1 tsp big bloom for entire veg........When I start flower 12/12 I feed them 1 last time 1 tsp grow big, then the next watering i start tiger bloom. I start them out with 1/2 tsp tiger bloom, 1 tsp liquid karma, 3 tsp big bloom. I will feed them the same amounts for a couple waterings and if i think they are hungry i will give them 1 tsp. After 4 weeks i flush with clearex and then start to feed cha ching. I have to stop feeding tiger bloom when using cha ching because it burns every time. 1/4 tsp cha ching. I feed all the way usually up to day 56 then i flush with clearex and let it dry, water 1 time with plain water let it dry then its chop time. Its all goldenThanks for sharing that info Willie.
Question for you. Since you dont follow the chart do you have a manipulated version of it that works better?. I too use FF whole line at the moment and have noticed how potent some of it is. I never nute burned any of mine by feeding. Mostly from the solution dripping on the leaves while watering under the HIDs. Just curious. So far ive been raising a mother plant to clone from. Ive just been kinda trying to sense what it needs rather than follow the chart. This is easier said than done. Im no expert but trying to learn. Thanks for any advice. Peace 1BMM.
Yea I would flush it if I was you. The problem with the fox farms is you might not be burning them but you can be over feeding and the unused nutrients turn to salts in your soil and create ph issues and lock outs. That is what the big bloom is for...it breaks down the salts. For the molasses i never use it,,,mostly just the organic guys use it it has alot of nutrients and sugars. But we get all that and more with fox farms and try using liquid karma you will love it. I flush with clearex and 5-7 days later it is ready to harvest no chemical taste at all. And I use 1 tsp big bloom for veg and 3 tsp big bloom for flower. 1 tsp would probably work just as good thoLikewise, Great info, was finding it pretty hot as well. I have been right on i suppose with the grow big but have been feeder per the chart with TB, most likely what it is. I have been noting on a calender how much i've been feeding. it will be useful later in assesing a modified feeding schedule. Thank you for the info, you just saved me a lot of time and experimentation.
BTW I am using FFOF soil.hot i've noticed
Very interesting about the BB. have been using it so that is a plus. Do you recommend using as much of that as they say?? it goes pretty fast so that would be nice if you only needed a tsp or a TBl.
do you recommend flushing? i was just thinking cutting nutes for a week and then back on with 1/2 to a 1/4 recommended.
Molassas?
you are the man. thanks for the guidelines. should help me a cut down on the burn and i'm sure the results will speak for themselves. Will be getting my hands on some liquid karma and check the superthrive out very soon i believe.
You are growing in coco?? You are watering with too high a ph. Treat coco as a soiless medium and ph 5.8-6.0 Water it at 6 and should bounce back
1 thing with the super thrive is it is awesome for root develpement but after they enter veg i cut them off super thrive completely. Too much super thrive and you can have potassium lockoutsyou are the man. thanks for the guidelines. should help me a cut down on the burn and i'm sure the results will speak for themselves. Will be getting my hands on some liquid karma and check the superthrive out very soon i believe.
off to see a lil Alice. see how it looks through the looking glass. first to make some tea...
Thanks willie
That looks too good Don!!!^^^^^^
but I will keep the strongest looking ones of them, and 5 OG kush (3 up on shelfs though, and one up in the heavens as well (thats a twin
). There will be added lights when it comes to flower time I am sure....And 2 mysteries. The new seeds I got coming through I want to veg for as long as possible....
