Here’s what I suggest you do. Take one plant in your next grow and feed it min nutrients and wait for the leaves to tell you it’s hungry. You’re trying to stay ahead of your plant (which is great and should be your end goal) but you’re giving too much. It’s costing you time, money, and mental anguish.
all my plants get fed from the same tank. Can't really run one on it's own schedule. But yeah I need to adapt the way I'm doing things. As soon as I run out of the bottled nute I'm going to start blending my own nute from simple powder form salt
yes in Coco and automated. I have a full time shift job and 3 kids. it's gotta be automated.
The only reason people are laughing at your plants is because you won’t listen. If you were a little more open to suggestions, people would be more willing to help.
Then drop all of your nutrients in all of your plants to min. Wait for bottom leaves to leaves to show a def and then bump them up. I don’t know shit about coco but I know people are doing it with WAY lower EC. That should tell you something.
No offense but if you can’t do it with proven nutrients, why would you try to make your own? Make it work with proven nutrients and then experiment
For me personally. They will never be a 10/10. I’d say 6/10 for those buds. I want huge massive buds to rub into @bk78 face for making fun of organic growers. And I won’t stop until I do. (Or I will give up and grow coco like he suggested)
I think it’s just as important to show the bad leaves and mistakes and how the grower fixed them. That way people understand how and why growers do things.
I'm pretty sure I have 2 main problems. Not enough calcium and possibly boron during stretch and first week or 2 of bud set. The lack of calcium mean the plant struggled to get enough nutrient transport as it's going into heavy flower. And salt build up from too high EC. The plants can't get the nutrients they need so it's getting left in the Coco and building up.
More calcium def than boron. Not enough calcium is what's kicking off the snowball. Seems to be something that happens quite often to auto growers. I've seen a lot of grows in other threads on lower EC with pretty much the same thing happening
I know that the media is getting too hot during flower.
Ok I give up man. sorry I quoted your post and tried to talk some sense into you. That was my fault and I won’t let it happen again. Self reflection and admitting you are the problem, is hard for some people. I consider it one of my better qualities.
People will be pretty straight forward online
