Just looking for tips

[503BobbyHill420]

Hey this is my first time growing, I purchased 4 clones (T1000, Duct Tape, Forbidden Fruit, and Carl Sagan), they are currently growing in a greenhouse I’ve been feeding them fox farm nutes trio every 2nd or 3rd watering, still have not given them the tiger bloom yet, was gonna wait to add that and beastie blooms and Cha Ching till slightly later atleast after summer equinox? Is that a good idea? I haven’t noticed many pests other than some slugs but copper tape seems to have done the trick and I released lady bugs in there a while back in case there was maybe something I couldn’t see on one of my other plants (I have a lot of herbs in there and then some veggies as well) I don’t really have any specific questions persay just any advice anybody has that could help increase the general health of my plants and lead to bigger and more potent yields would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Oh on the Carl Sagan it looks like I may be deficient in something anybody have any suggestions thank you again!

You are going to need more space. That's a lot of plants for that small of a space. There's a long growing season to go.

Carl Sagan looks kinda like bug damage but I can't focus it in enough.

You will need a lot of air circulation and air exchange. So get some fans, especially to get the hottest air near the top out.
Use potassium bicarbonate with castile soap (they're cheap and effective) to help prevent fungal infections.

Get high, have a great time and welcome to RIU!
Good luck friend!

Thank you! Do you think moving some of my veggies out and spacing the ladies out would be enough extra space, maybe taking them off of the table? And I will be picking up some potassium bicarbonate with castile soap tomorrow, was wondering do I apply that as like a foliar spray? Or with watering?

 

[JimmiP]

Foliar. You can mix it with spinosad and several other things too.

Thank you! Even though I don’t see any evidence of them on my other plants would It be smart to spray them as well?

 

[JimmiP]

Yes. Green houses and hoop house are basically outside when it comes to bugs. Use good organic remedies like lady bugs, like you have, too. I love watching the larvae moving around hunting.
I just sprayed tonight. There's moths all over my hoop house. Some of them will get in. Hopefully they find the traps but the plants are protected if they don't.

Bobby I ran Fox Farm nutes for years, you should be feeding them one type of nutrient at a time. The nutes are designed to give the plant what it needs at different times in it's life cycle.

Cha Ching at the end of flower, beastie bloomz in the middle. There should be a feeding schedule on the back of the packaging, if not search fox farm for it.

Good luck.

So when you say feeding one type of nute at a time I’m assuming you mean the open sesame, beastie bloomz, and Cha Ching, are the big bloom, grow big, and tiger bloom fine to use concurrently as long as I’m following the feeding schedules ratios?

 

[Lowkeygardener]

beastie blooms is for mid-late flower and cha-Ching is for late flower. You will need to continue feeding with tiger bloom as well while you use the other 2. Just a heads up. You don’t use cha-Ching and beastie at the same time

Alright thank you! I didn’t think you were supposed to I’ve been following the feeding schedule just at a slightly diluted ratio

Good call. I use ocean Forrest and haven’t needed any grow big due to the soil providing plenty for me. I only use Tiger Bloom from the trio.. my cal-mag supplements a little nitrogen for me, then I also use Bud Candy from Advanced to sweeten and fatten up my buds.

I would only use more soil in larger containers without any tiger, chaching, beasty, open sesame or grow big. Although I like big bloom in preflower and flower. I, for the most part, just topdress and give boosts with BB and a little fish emulsion. They do great without all that mixing of BRAWNDO.

How tall is your greenhouse? I could be wrong but, It looks like you have plants that are 75% the height of your greenhouse. It's still May. Happy and healthy plants will continue to grow at a decent rate and then double-ish in size when it comes time to flower. I'm fairly confident you're going to need to sort something out soon.

The green house is about 7 feet tall I had 3 of my plants on a table, that put them off the ground about 3 feet, I removed the table this morning so I could have more room to grow! If I need to I will place all 4 ladies on the ground, but for the time being I have 3 on chairs (I topped those 3 and have been attempting to get some horizontal growth with LST but they seem to want to grow vertically through the tomato cage) anybody ever use tomato cages while growing before?

So transplanting into bigger containers is probably needed? I have a few Rubbermaid bins if I were to drill some holes in them would that work fine? I have some tomatoes and cucumbers growing in a Rubbermaid bin I drilled holes in and they seem to get fine drainage (I’m a bit tapped on funds so buying more soil and expensive containers right now is not ideal, if it’s really necessary I will find a way tho! Also would possibly waiting another 2 weeks for transplant be alright?

That makes sense. 7 feet is plenty to work with. Expect them to take up something like 3x3 each as well (you kind of control this). The plants will widen out. Especially once the buds start weighing the branches down. You can control this by trimming the plant down prior to flowering.

I've never used a tomato cage but others here have. I'm pretty sure you're going to want to clean up the bottoms and make sure the lowest branch is above the lowest wire, though.

Yes, that will work. Just wait until they need to be moved and it'll be fine.

As long as you plan to either cut a ton back or remove them from the table, they should be fine. However in that picture I noticed how close your greenhouse is to fencing. Is that your property line? If it is you may want to start thinking about talking to your neighbors or some odor control. Personally I had a carbon filter in my greenhouse but, I don't think that's normal. It was also expensive.
