they should show pretty fast after flip. you could remove the fabric pot on the unknowns when you transplant the others, they are rootbound so the ball will stay together, then just put them in a plastic bag or something. then if they are females you can easily drop in 7 gals without any stress.
Yup sounds about right man. Ya im goin hard on foliars but withe low slurries im trying to keep them fed and happy at all costs lol. So far so good.
Great idea!!! I got some work ahead of le this weekend lol. Ill keep yall updated as always thanks for the help.
I was doing similar, not near as many foliars but definitely doing some supplemental foliars to fight low ppms, it helped but was a bandaid, being Rootbound was a constant struggle of low ppms...once settled into bigger pots and with a simple top dress they are all praying before the lights even come on!! Will check slurry before next feed to verify numbers even though the top growth is telling me their on point, Bubba likes to call these preventative slurries, and they are just as important to do as it is when troubleshooting. This slurry will guide my transition feed and will tell me if I need to keep alternating double feeds or just get back to regular feeds....we will see, I'm very pleased so far but it could have all been avoided with a repot at the correct time....got busy, life happens!!
It went by to damn fast! I was off for 9 days and it felt like 2! Lol The ladies are doing fantastic and flushing my first girl! I will post some pics later. I also built a cardboard drying box with exhaust fan over the holiday. Peace out!
Ya im doing 3 foliars a week about every other day. There still praying no deficiencies or anything just low slurries ive had low slurries from the jump. Im going to slap em in some 7 gallons veg a week or 2 more and flip.
Thanks - ok I stopped with the foliar then... Looking happy so far!
3 a week not too shabby, just don't go overboard with keeps.....once weekly is perfect
Kelps......NOT keeps.......LOL
Thats a great price for #4.......I pay $25 on the east coast and it sells out fast!! So I always buy bags even if I don't need them.....My store is 80 miles round trip so not too bad but I make it worth while when I go.
google it .... different places has different prices .... even OCG offers 20% off and free shipping over 150.00 ....
my area its 18.99 and another spot its 21.99 for #4 .....
Hell yea man i literally just did the same thing filled the trunk with some #4. Cost $20 a bag and takes me 6 hours round trip. Well worth it tho. Id deff suggest slurrying it before first use. Anything lower then 200 ppm i would start feeding soon as your seedling has 3-4 nodes. I waited a little too long to feed and been battling low slurries ever since. Shits awesome i have never had such bushy green vigorous plants before.
Perlite or pumice can be added to #4, I don't think its necessary but 5% is prolly all you need. If you can get nectar #8 soil its already 50/50 coco and peat / perlite & pumice. The only time I would put more aeration in #4 is if I'm adding castings or compost, which I don't usually add until recycling used soil after a run. Nectar #4 is perfect right out of the bag!! I do add biochar though with a sprinkle of bokashi & malted barley!!
