If you really want to boost your K then you can look at Potassium Sulphate.
What will help is if you feed the soil some Humic and Fulvic acid. I cant give you the exact science behind its impact but I have heard numerous growers talk about its benefits. I know it impacts the soil biology in a regulatory way, adjust soil ph and in general, is really good for your soil microbes. You can add Yucca into the mix as well, that stuff seems to be a golden nugget that I never knew of.
You need to accept that you have thrown out the biology of the soil. You are going to make things worse by throwing more stuff into the mix. If the first cause of the plants damage is overdoing it, then doing more of that is not going to help.
Take it from an organic grower, you cannot control things the way that you did with synthetics. The more research you do, the quicker you are going to realize this. Working with ecosystems do not allow you to cut corners. Meddling with these systems because you dont like the way the plant looks is a one way ticket to failure.
Trust me. Let them be, focus on ways to improve the soil biology, that is your only way to balance out the soil. Not adding more NPK into the soil. If you want to add anything for deficiencies, foliar spray.
Yea man. I’ve done water, a little something to keep the roots happy and a very light potassium sulfate feeding or two.
They are just about done. The buds look good and are pretty solid/very trichy/pungent ad. But the leaves are just ugly.Hoping for a better run next time.
I think I’m going to try and do an approach that uses as few inputs as possible. Just find a simple soil recipe, a strong/resilient genetic and attempt to only intervene minimally with as few ingredients/amendments as possible….
still some research to do on this; but I have a good 45 days before I can pop more seeds due to vacation coming up. I truly think taking a stripped down approach is what is needed to tame my tendency to over think/complicate.
I dunno, to use a bowling metaphor…. I think I came into my second grow cocky, trying to roll 12 strikes in a row, all crazy curve balls. And really I probably just needed another grow or two with the bumpers up to keep me outta the gutter.
Thanks for all your help along the way. It’s more help than you know. All the concepts I’ve read about on your recommendation have helped me understand the symbiotic nature of organic gardening. The freaking build a soil seasons are bad ass too. Insanely helpful. Silva’s so smart, and freakin humble to boot.
