Help diagnosing my plants please

[im4satori]

Top feed with some oyster shell. Iv been using that and I havent had any ph issues in my soil.

oyster shell takes time to break down and wouldn't be available for a good 4 weeks after applied

and
oyster shell would raise his ph not lower it

 

[Taco740]

how much time left before harvest?

I think about 6 weeks

 

[Taco740]

you shouldn't need the calmag while using the bloom nutes

are those pics of the plant at week four?

Yea

 

[im4satori]

Yea

looking good

 

[Taco740]

looking good

Really? Thanks man. I've been working really hard on these babies

 

[im4satori]

not bad at all for your first try

Your bud looks amazing man. I can't wait till my first harvest! I hope one day I get to be as knowledgeable about this stuff as you guys are.

It only takes time and the passion to grow right, to learn...

id give them a good flush on the next watering

then let it dry out and begin feeding about 4mls per gallon 1x and then raise it up to 6mls per gallon the next time you fertilize

then raise it up to 8mls per gallon max until finish

and remember

rotate
water only,........fertilizer............ water only........... fertilizer

What? Flush?

Another solution that works. Instead of a "flush" (leeching), would be to simply water it with a straight pH'ed water with like 3 ml of a Ca Carb based Ca/Mg, for like 3 days in this situation.

I might be inclined to simply add some N for a bit and drop that in a week or 2 back to normal use. Many ways this can go from here....

BTW Satori, I liked Nova too. The issue with it is, it's a cpl a points too high in P to start it's use right at the flip. A 2 week lay back and use of the veg for that time. Will avoid his problem...


Some schmeckle said top dress with oyster shell......NOT going to help at all! Don't.

 

[im4satori]

ya the P is on the highest end and could likely be half what they put in it

but its got a reasonable amount of N for bloom

Is top dressing with work castings ideal if trying to add some extra nitrogen? Even during flower?

its adds some N yes and its safe to do during flower yes

ideal? depends on how much N you need and how fast.... theres lots of N source, such as fish and guano

there are so many good reasons to top dress with worm castings but there are also other options for N

but... too much N in bloom can also be bad so be careful using to much of those things that contain ample amounts of N

EWC isn't something that's likely to cause a "too much N issue"

I'm just starting week 5 of flower and the buds are growing at a good rate along with getting some good resin production. Currently using General Organics Bio bud, bio marine, for feed. Than i water with some botanicare raw and calmag plus, then straight water on the third watering.

looks great

not sure you need to do anything extra at this point

nothing wrong with a little EWC but I wouldn't say theyre asking for anything specific

I keep around some bottled organic sourced nutrients. If I "need" a "fast correction". I'll use that. Organic bottled nutrients, are plant ready - just like synthetic but they are organic. Just be sure to add some basic bio tea (AACT) 2 days after you use a bottled organic liquid nutrient. Keeps those living soils healthy and bio happy.

I have Age old and some from a now defunct line that a friend made. He still makes it for himself and some friends. I like his N product, it's sourced from Comfrey and Nettles......I use those in building a cpl of my WO S soils......Good stuff.

I agree with @im4satori .

You've got Sativa's running there. Those can be quite fussy about feeds. They look fine, hold the course with them.....A bit of WC wouldn't hurt, and the time it would take to break it down and begin to be delivered to the plant would be delivering it at a bit late of time....
