Organic growing advice

[Boatguy]

This is a great quote from @Renfro:
Flushing is for toilets. Period.

Flushing due to an overfeed isnt a bad thing.

 

[Boatguy]

Just back off nuts before dark period and chop

The op is nowhere near chop time

Thanks very much for the feedback i really appreciate it. Im happy as its only my second grow but ive been overthinking and really anxious about not messing it up lol. My first grow was disastrous lol enough to put me off growing again lol. I ended up starting my plants in crappy soil and no nutrients and phing with the hydro chemical stuff which destroyed the soil even more.
I just hope the tea i made isnt too hot and the fact i accidentally let the fabric pots sit in the run off in the tray. Hopefully with the dehumidifier running it should help the plant take up more and dry it out quicker.
i have also noticed fungknats too the little shits. So im going to try and get some lady bugs in there and some stick tape stuff.

U have K being taken from lower leaves and transported up the stalk to the flowers. K is mobile which is good so u don’t want to prune/trim yet until your tree ash is taken up. But do trim her or you will get smaller colas and lots of larf. Looks like your soil have ph conditioners so hopefully u will be fine.

BTW your plants look really good.

how much would you trim per day ?
I read somewhere that trimming too much in flower causes the buds to lose out on nutrients that wouldve been sent to them via the leaves which would end up being trimmed. I dont know though, all this organic growing is blowing my brains lol

Dont trim anything. If you cant help yourself, just trim some bottom leaves and branches. Honestly though, if a leaf isnt getting any light, it will yellow and fall off on its own.

Thanks mate i honestly appreciate the feedback
i thought growing was meant to be pleasurable, all ive done is worry about the ladies lol

Worry has killed more plants than not. Try not to overthink it.
One change takes a week to show in soil. Too many changes and you start chasing your tail.

He’s dead on

sometimes the hardest thing to do...is to leave it alone and let it grow.

Thanks both I will just let nature take its course.
In regards to watering / teas etc, how often should i feed teas ?

Water only. No teas no etc water. Ph’d water preferably. This is why you need a TDS meter. I check my run off. If it’s crazy high 3-4000 I just water it until it’s down then you can decide what tea or etc to add.

What not even a worm castings tea with just epsom salts and molasses ? I know a tea with guano and tree ashes would be too hot to constantly feed

Good luck buddy.

sometimes the best thing you can do for your plant is nothing.

Thanks my friend

I do organic soil and dont use tea's. I do use some liquid fish fert and kelp liquid here and there.
Probably doesnt make much of a difference, but i cant help myself sometimes

 

[Boatguy]

Never checked runoff and probably never will. In an organic water only soil, why bother

 

[Polyuro]

The op is nowhere near chop time

I didn’t say he was Close to chop. I said when it come time to flush, don’t flush but back off notes, then cut.

It will give him an idea of how much nutrients are left in his soil and feel ok just giving water. He had no feeding schedule and no idea how much nutrients are in the soil. The run off ppm would give you an idea of what’s in there.

 

[OrganicBudz]

No need to flush

Yes, mobile nutrients will do that. Try whatever sounds the best to you and learn. Like @Boatguy said worry has killed more plants than not.

Checking runoff in organic soil is misunderstood. U have a lot of slow release nuts that won’t be seen in runoff. If it tells u anything it will be in the microbial life is thriving or not. Most people don’t give a shit about checking ec or ppm in organic if u have A health soil food web. If anything hit it with a ACT. Maybe some Bokassa/grokashi topdress.
Lastly, and again lol, your plants look really healthy. Don’t over do it. Good job man.
