First time I've seen something like that interesting. In my soil I have sunleaves rocks which is basically basalt I think provides silica to plants and have some perlite in there to aid with aeration as well as crab shell for chitin & slow release cal/mag
It was my Mrs that spotted them. She tells me to try all sorts bless her. But these actually look good. When I pot up I will be adding a bit of perlite and an inch or 2 clay pebbles at the bottom with a few aero balls in there too for good measure. In everyone but the control wwxbb I will be using the AN ph perfect and nothing else unless I see major deficiency.

Control plant is my semi organic test. To see how the AN compares side by side with my mj home brew feed

Hell yeah bro lookin good. I checked on my plants before this trip they smelling pretty good :)
I'd say they weren't doing too bad. Another week or 2 to fill the pots and they can be potted up to final pots. Love it when you first start to smell that peng haha.

Nearly as wide as the pot now mate, looking very good. About a week and they should start shooting up the fun begins my friend
Try and get them bushing out now. Looking at the wwxbb they look like they're gonna be low and fat which is exactly what I'm after. The nlxc is a bit of a stretchy one though

Didn't even notice yesterday the ph perfect the bellends sold me was sensi grow. Not coco grow which I asked for. AN say dont add stuff to the base unless it's AN stuff otherwise ph will be an issue. Well if it's set for soil it's gonna balance to 6.2ish coco needs to be 5.5 and if I have to add calmag being alkaline af it's gonna push it up near the 7s meaning I'll still have to ph. Fucking fuming

Ez cloner spray heads arrived today at least. That's brightened it up a bit. Come to the conclusion if I flush with 5.2ish water then feed the AN should kinda balance out I hope. It's drop water tests though..... Effort

I know it's not related but just went to check on my 4 day old autos and 4 out of 7 of them have been munched. I'm so fucking annoyed. They are in the conservatory next to some vegetable seedlings and a few photoperiods and one other auto all around 3 weeks old. I went in this morning and opened the back door because it was hot and I'm wondering if maybe something came in then and just munched those particular autos and nothing else. I also noticed there are some gnats on the soil of the 3 week old amnesia auto but that's all I can see. Does anyone know what could have eaten them? Also how should I protect the last remaining 3 which have still been slightly nibbled?

I don't know what it could be. Vine weevils eat leaves. The larvae eat roots. Either way I feel for you I just had to chop 3 plants early due to vine weevils. The only thing I can suggest is some kind of pesticide if you're morally okay with it. (personally not too fussed if it will save my crop) they munched to the point of no return or just nibbled mate?

Just sprayed it with a ornamental and herb pesticide. Everything we eat has pesticides and as along as I give it a good wash in 2 weeks it's should all be back to normal. The ones that survived have some nibbles on them but the 4 that are gone are almost completely gone. Munched the lot. I hope it wasn't weevils but I literally have no idea. As I said before the only visible insects are the gnats in the amnesia auto soil so that's going outside now. It's in a 30 litre pot so should hopefully be alright. Gave that a spray too just to be safe. Really annoyed because I was wanting the 2 auto ducks for a spot in the garden and the rest for a guerrilla grow. Got one auto duck left. One was eaten and the other didn't sprout so it seems like I paid for just one seed at this point. An expensive seed at that. At least the others were cheaper seeds. Going to have to put a few more seeds on now.

I just about managed to get some trounce to clean my area out before these went in. Ornamental pesticides off the shelf don't kill weevils so I hope you haven't got them. Check the bite pattern on the leaves and Google different insects vote pattern and match it I reckon would be a good place to start there. Cos even if it was one that came in and fucked off there's a chance there are eggs there so stay on guard. Hard luck on the expensive beans mate. Even though you got one bean there's nothing stopping you cloning the one you have left and achieving your original number. Just depends how fixed you are for timescales. Not too fussed myself I enjoy doing it and it takes what it takes ha

I'll give Google a try. They are autos so can't clone them. Thanks. And also hard luck that you also had an infestation. Hope we stay insect free from now on.

Can you tell I was skim reading and baked? Haha. Definitely don't want any more infestation though. Hope you wipe them out in time to save your crop mate. Let us know when you figure what they are

Are you coming the wwxbb is the bb blueberry or big bud?
It's big bud mate. Female seeds the breeder if you wanna read up and I'll be cloning all 3 strains I have here. But the HK and nlxc are mothers straight off. Will be taking one clone off the best genetics I see from the wwxbb and will use that as a mother too
