No Nukes

I'm growing two auto's from Mephisto. And I was not wanting to use nukes on this grow to see if the taste is better. The medium I use is Roots Organics. I have nukes I used very lightly on my last grow. My last grow was ok, but it was a little harsh tasting. I flushed them also, but if they will grow and produce without adding nukes, I'll go for that

Be careful with nuclear weapons around cannabis they can really play havoc in a grow room.

First and formost is get the book Jeff Lowenficks book Teaming with microbes get it here:

After years of feeding my plants salty nutes

I was only to aware how easy it is to screw a grow op

so I fed my organic grown plants gingerly, even less than what was required

besides I had read all the books on organics at the time

tho I may know how these chems work

I was not up on how the plants used these chems and why or even how

now I do ...thanks to old fashioned books ...lol

so if in doubt blast that babe via foilar sprays and is much FuN ..lol

cheers/

Super soil or no till gardening may be something you could research. I don’t have any real experience with them. What kind of nutrients did you use last time? And was the plant in need of them? Agriculture fertilizer contains potassium chloride and I believe the chloride may reduce the end product quality. Best of luck.

I gave you an answer, you need a good oraganic soil or living soil. Then feed them with oraganic buffalo compost called buffaloam 1-1-1. Or make your own soil with average soil amend it with buffaloam soil alive cook the soil for a couple weeks while plants are sprouting.

There is no reason you need added nutrients if your soil is good and there is enough soil to last the life of the plant. That’s the tricky part is figuring out how much soil and of what type will work best.
Your plant will tell you if it is hungry. The color of the leaves may look pale for example. Or the lower leaves yellowing but not the top signals not enough nitrogen. I grow 10’ tall corn in a field and whatever is in the field for nutrients in the spring lasts all summer. Same for you. Good quality soil can typically grow the plant as tall as the pot it’s in or taller.

Slow drying and a long cure is the secret to smooth smoking pot regardless of the method used to grow it. I use hydro nutes in soilless media but not excess nutes. I take 4 weeks to dry the pot down enough that I can put it still moist enough to make clumps into cans for another 4 weeks of burping before it's dry enough to smoke and it tastes way better than what my buddy gets growing organically and hanging his to dry in a few days.

Mind me asking what rh and temp your dry room is? And do you trim green or hang the whole plant? Nobody better to ask then a guy with a name like yours.

Even with top quality living soil you have to feed the soil unless you’re going to grow in 20-30 gallon pots and unless I missed my guess that’s not something that’s very Feasible in an indoor grow.

Also when growing in a living soil the plant will look hungry it won’t be a super dark green and will start fading in flower to yellow you will be tempted to dump a bunch of feed on it because you will be worried something is wrong but this is a natural progression until the buds are ready. It also makes it a lot easier to trim because most leaves have fallen off do to the plant eating them.

I agree late flower is not a good time to start with nutrients. As far as growing in 20-30 gallon pots yes you are right I suppose it all depends on how big a plant you want? I start with promix seed starter then move everything into promix organic with added perlite. Then start hydro nutes a number of weeks later at small doses. I haven’t gotten into living soil and what not. Yet anyway

I grow in a living soil it’s called aurora phlora by scarred organics it’s some amazing stuff I only use 7 gallon fabric pots plants get about 4 feet tall buds are super nice and tight the product I use is not to feed to plant but to feed the microbes in the soil.
