ya i know. it took a month before i got anything to grow before the two plants i got in flowering now.i'm still new but learning. this class has already learned me how to get the plant pop up. now i'm trying to learn how to keep them alive. thank you for this class.
You need to let the soil dry out a little more in between feedings(droopy leaves).
What nutes did you add and how did you get to 300ppm's---are you behind me by a couple of weeks with your plants? I'm already up to 550ppms?-----Bump your next feed up to 500ppms with a complete nutrient----all major/secondary/and chealeted micro with B1---Your plants are showing slight nutrient defs and a little over-watering. Make sure to allow the soil to dry out(the cups should feel very lite).
Would you clip the branch right above the fingers, then clip off the first two sets of leaves leaving only the very top leaves?
Ok------You have a couple choice---1. mix half doses--1tlbs grow big/1/2tlbs big bloom to 1 gal water then add more water to bring your ppms down to where you want,then ph to 6.3 and feed. or---mix full strenght 2tlbs growbig/1tbs big bloom in 1 gal and add more water to bring ppms down to where you want them(same ratio of nutes
) remember that you are to increase your ppms with every nute feed by 100!!!. The dolomite works over time and with moisture in the soil so don't add anymore at this point 5.5 is the start of where you want to be--we will build the soil PH up as we go.They look healthy---You can take a clone from that.
. Couple of things going on...You switched to a bloom formula? what was the last nute ppms @ feeding?--The cal/mag plus wouldn't have caused that--It would help--showing signs of sulper-your nutriants should supply ample sulper/. iron/ and manganese def(strange unless very low nutrient feed--<500ppms or my guess at this time---high soil PH >6.6) check the PH run-off and ppms for now--Get a chealeted micro nutrient supplement---I love LILLY MILLER brand(home-depot/lowes/nursary) great product and you can get a gallon for less than 6.00----feed @ 1tbs/gal. Keep me in the loop on this one. OK
No because there is very little over-lap in the nutrients I use. Very small doses of low ratio nutrients and I never mix the nutrients together(Fill water containers then add additives and supplements/ then I add the base) you would have more chances of nute-lock if you mixed the nutes together before adding to the water) I also have a very close idea as to how much each individual nutrition raises ppms in feedings----BIG BLOOM and Power THRIVE plus add little ppms and are organic. The voodoo juice/piranha/and taranchula add very little. The carb load adds a small amount of NPK but not much. Most of the NPK and ppms come from your base nute---I.E.-IGUANA GROW. Hope this explains a little and good question as well---I hope we can get your next grow on track...
and
why would you think that ? do you even know if its a female ?
The FFOF has alot of nutes in it so you will not have to add nutes for 3 to 4 weeks.hey guys doc guess what i found?? i just found out the feed store down the street from my house is also a gardening store. they sell all the different nutes there.foxfarm,gh,superthrive,earth juice,b'cuss ect...... and there are some i have never heard of. the people are nice and very helpful.they sell lights(hps,mh,t-5)or parts to make your own.they do hydro set ups and soil.i bought 4oz of superthrive and a small kit of the recipe for success and a bag of foxfarm ocean forest soil. i think this grow will be much better. as soon as i see the sprouts i will put them in the foxfarm soil. wish me luck. thanks
This question is coming up alot so i'll try to explain in more detail at the end of this thread---Ratio's of nutes needs to stay the same but concentration(PPM's) can be lowered or raised dependant on many factor of the plant.
You did the right thing--and brought up a good point that needed to be mentioned---"It's better to underfeed than overfeed".
