Comment on my CFL Flowers

[Flaming Pie]

I am very wary of going up to full strength.. especially since I am watering more frequently now.

She is at about half recommended dosage now. Maybe in a week or two I will bump her up to 3/4 strength.

But I am not even following the feed chart. Feed chart says she should be on only bloom right now but I will be giving her grow and bloom the entire time.

There are no deficiencies, so I see no reason to pump her up atm.

Sorry Pie, I didn't go back n look, but if you're doing a water, feed, water, feed, I would stay with what you said, but if you're doing the W,W,F, I think you can go full strength with no problem.

If she's happy now, leave all as be.
Disregard my previous post.
SORRY, I don't read all the way through when catching up.

I like your light setup.
Do you have to rotate the pot every couple days? Or is it pretty symmetrical?

 

[Flaming Pie]

It is pretty symmetrical at the moment.

I got my seed order today! Weeeeeeee!



I really like the blimburn mug.

Once I finish consuming my altoids, they will be transfered into the tin for storage.

Day 51 - 12/12 Day 26

No pics today. I forgot to take the camera downstairs and I am tired. Looks like we may have frost coming in, so maybe tomorrow she will have trichs I can show you.

Reduced the grow and increased the bloom. I gave her 1/8 tsp grow and 1/4 tsp bloom. I noticed she was getting some downward cupping and a little claw going on. So I reduced at a good time I hope.

 

[Bakatare666]

Sounds like you did right.

With the downward cup and starting of claw - you did just fine

The air pot seems to be working too well. I had roots exposed on the surface of the soil! The definitely are branching out more with the air pot. Never saw roots at the surface before.

I took some soil and covered the roots by about an inch.


We has more frost today!




No plant is free of problems it seems. I have had some spotting that turned necrotic. These are not bugs. Just me ignoring an issue. Either phosphorus/potassium lockout from too much nitrogen or nitrogen toxicity is my guess. Some minor nuteburn has been noticed on the plant over the past week as well.

3 days may be too close for feedings. So I watered it today with plain water. I will water/feed from now on since she is drinking so much.

The attachment links are goofy, getting this: "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" .. that said, have you ruled out the trace being the cause of the necrosis? The reason I ask.. 4 of the trace can cause it as well, depending on other symptoms that might be present. Figured I'd mention it, since other than the K which could be the problem.. Mg, Mn, B, and Cu could also cause it, and with a lil' shot o' trace could be a quick fix. Hope things are going well, and you're actually getting sleep instead of getting kicked in the ribs every 45 minutes by a tossing lil' one.

 

[Flaming Pie]

trace?

I will reload pics now.

Yup, 4 of the trace elements could be causing the necrosis. Are there other symptoms that are semi-visible/visible other than the necrosis? - The trace Mg, Mn, B, and Cu (although not as likely, could be possible)

 

[Flaming Pie]

I honestly think it is P/K. My fert has plenty of minor nutrients.
