If you’re too nervous to too, try LST. Just bend the main stem and let the side branches fill in and just keep pulling down branches. Eventually you’ll have a little Bush. This plant was only LST and was stunted for a whole month at the beginning. But it came out giving me 14 grams with a 92w cfl lamp I made
Well I think that's actually a lot of the problem. Peat is super acidic for one thing. Also since you're using organic nutes, you'll need microbes to make them available to the plants. Your mix should have some compost and perlite at least. For now I would get some EWC and top dress the plants with it. When you transplant make a better mix.
That's super helpful to know and I have mychorizae put into the peat too. I put it in probably half way into putting peat into it.
I've also looked into lst but so all you do is just bend the main stem down.
Just wondering for more questions if you have. But have you grown a Malawi cut before?
Mykos is great, but it's not a fertilizer. It's a beneficial fungi that creates a symbolic relationship with the plant. It also takes awhile for the fungal network to develop. I use a bunch of it anytime I transplant.
Wow that's crazy I didn't know that much. So correct me if I'm wrong but does Myles break down the organic nutes that I use or did I understand it wrong when I went buying my supplies
Yes ... knowing that they get pretty tall I cropped and caged that bitch.
Wow those are some beautiful plants. Does it have a strawberry flavor to it like people say it does? And mine is a cross of Malawi gold and northern lights with rudelaris.
Mycos helps, but it takes awhile to create a network, and it also needs roots to grow. You really want some microbes to breakdown the organic nutes. Mycos is great though, and is especially helpful at delivering P when the plants start really wanting it in flower.
So excuse my ignorance but what would microbes be in this case that I would need
Compost or EWC will contain microbes. You can also buy bottled microbes. When I use powdered microbes I use Biorighteous. But lots of people use Great White or many others. There's a lot of them out there.
mine was from a seed company called Seeds of Africa. It smelled “ to me “ like spicy earth.
Okay so I was wondering what the great white shark was when i started buying all my stuff. Again thanks for all the help man I've got a lot of work to do apparently lol
No problem man. You'll get it.
Hell yeah man thank you. These ones came from Northern Seed Bank and had a estimate of 12 weeks but a lot of what I've read people say to just watch the trichomes
