Ahah damn, All I can think of when I saw this post is that “power thirst” video
On a serious note, I’d honestly suggest looking up “compost tea” recipes for different stages in growth. It’s usually with an unsulphured black strap molasses (your sugars) as a catalyst, with worm castings or other guano / organic amendments to cater to what your plants need most.
Aren’t these like 6 weeks of flower? They’re not looking like they should Tbh. Stop adding ice tea and sugared up shit in your bubble buckets To start. Feed these plants properly. I’ll be surprised if you get anything worth smoking here in 10 or 12 weeks.
I haven’t actually added sweet tea to the plants. Just stoned and seen 43 percent potassium and had a thought. I made a thought of experimenting with the next grow and was planning to experiment with. I used miracle grow soil cause Great Lakes wasn’t delivering when I started it. So that torched my leaves and I didn’t feed till that ran low cause of the little balls in the soil extending it. When they were early veg it looked like a potassium and magnesium issue but it was hard to tell the difference. I gave them some epsom salt and it cleared out. But early last week they started to yellow up again so I figured out it’s a calcium def or superficial burn which is what I’m aiming toward concluding. i feed on schedule every 14 days and give the same amount. 1/3 of what it calls for cause what it actually calls for .It says it’s 3 tbs and that’s way to much. last season I roasted one because of it. it looked like an iron or potassium issue but I never seen any rust spots until a few days ago. The buds are growing fine and the pistils keep reaching out and smelling great. The leaves just keep slowly dying off and yellowing up so I’m wondering if If it’s the nitrogen wearing off or should I cut the light back to 55 with the sf4000 and do a flush to see if that helps. I put it on 70% and par was 1400-1500 so 65 might still be a lot more than needed. It is definitely needed for a 4x4 and a 5x5 and will pull all 4corners easy.
I haven’t added it. Just had an experiment idea. I have done the tomato and sugar water in upside down buckets before with organics and that works. I just should of thought about about it being calcium instead of magnesium. You called it with that soil. I think that’s where I had the problem. But you lerarn from it
I was thinking about what you said with the ph in the medium being out of whack and I decided to check it to be safe and it’s actually right where it needs to be so it’s puzzling. It’s in the 6-7 range so it has to be a calcium deficiency or calcium lockout. That explains why it looked like an iron or magnesium def. There still green and the buds are swelling but they are turning yellow very slowly on the sugar and fans and I still have seven weeks to go till harvest. You can see where it looks like a mag def but over all it’s only old fans and single sugars doing it. I believe I’m just going to flush em out real good, increase the ph .3 or.4, add only 2-8-4, and give em some cal mag in the am and hope they make it. If not there’s always new genetics to try out a random bag. Look how thick there getting.
One I don’t trust this meters two if its good soil you shouldn’t have to ph it. if you keep the micro herd rolling well they’ll help that much more. What soil are you using btw?
That meter is junk man. Throw it the fack away.
