Also its important to figure out the watering schedule so its not being overwatered. Needs to be semi dry periods for air. When im usually fixing an issue I water less so u can water more often. Example- if it takes 1 gallon of water and 4 days to dry out. Give it only 1 liter everyday. That way u can monitor the things your doing while adding what u need. Where as if u give the gallon u cant do anything but wait the 4 days before u can do anything else. By now in bloom of flower u should know how much water/nutes she consumes in a day or week. If u watch your leaves they'll let u know with a slight droop when its thirsty again.
This well rooted big stalk is no comparison to his lil plant. U don't need a pot. Thats basically an air pot without the bucket with holes. Breaking the stem was on him tho. And to be frank even with broken stem I think he either gave up on it or didn't know. U can just tape it back together and it will mend itself. I broke so many stalks early on with lst or scrog net pulling. Or by cloning her out he could've made 10+ plants to get experience from and try different methods of growing. Not to mention yield from 10+ plants. Even with small yields they add up.
Going well so far for 30 days.
He says it's only $3 slow release and it works.
Cant wait to see end result. Bud looking nice. What strain is she? Are the rust spots from needing calcium? It would scare me using regular outside dirt/soil. Could be issues already in there before u begin but it would save a bunch of coins. I reuse my medium now.
Yeah well established roots on a healthy plant are resilient. Some cut roots just to make room for new growth or stop root bound.
What other nutes are u using with Brunning during veg?
It's a purple Passion Auto from synergy automatic genetics...yep, it's calcium issues (you will notice it on new, top leaves as it's immobile)and it's cause by my medium being a bit hot this time round and locking out.
Just tap water so far. There's a bit of basalt and lime in there but no actual nutrients bar the brunnings. I won't be adding anything over the more recent planys runs if all works out okay with the one in flower. Edit, there's some castings in there as well.
Again, you have a rootbound plant, which can easily be removed; Mine was weeks from being rootbound. Everyone has their own philosophy and way of growing, to each their own and if it works for you, have at it. If soil isn’t held together by the root system, the loose soil will obviously fall to gravity. I’m only 4 years into growing, but my philosophy is, that uprooting a plant (if you’re not transplanting) the risks outweigh the benefits. Which is why we’re all here. To learn from each other. It didn’t work out for me, I appreciate your idea, it just didn’t work out on my end. I say smoke up, no worries!
That’s actually exactly what I wanted to use this time for this exact reason, but we were pretty broke and these were all I had. I drilled some holes around the bucket but it obviously isn’t as good as a bag. It’s a shitty season for most of us in NorCal. 115 today.
