Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

[st0wandgrow]

So just made some soil, only problem is im out of a few things like rock phosphate and worm casting, wouod you guys vhange this at all? I forgot to add greensand too, heres whats in it now.

6 cf-sphagnum peat moss
1cf - vermiculite
1cf-perlite
2.5lbs of fishbonemeal
2.5lbs of feathermeal
1cup seabird quano
1cup kelp meal
1cup oystershell flour
1cup alfalfa meal
3/4 cup dolomite lime
1/2 cup epsom salt
1/4 cup azomite
6 tablespoons roots organism
3 teaspoons humic acid

I believe thats all from the top of my head. I have yet to run a mix like this for I been running coco, foxfarm based stuff and some half ass made supersoil.

Male! Unlike gandalf, I hate these.View attachment 2886452View attachment 2886453

May, as was already mentioned by Red you need to get a quality source of compost/vermicompost in your mix. Your soil is only as good as your source of humus. I would also suggest more aeration material. Rice hulls and/or pumice are good options. You look a little light on liming agents as well. Peat is very acidic, so I would go a little heavier on that. You can pick up some calcium carbonate at Home Depot in the garden dept (Lily Miller Super Sweet) along with some Gypsum from the garden dept as well. The oyster shell flour will help in that regard too. The only other thing that I'm questioning is the Epsom Salts. You shouldn't have any Cal/Mag issues if your soil is properly amended. Not saying that you shouldn't use them, but I think most of the organic ganja-gurus leave this out of their mix now. Maybe someone else can chime in here and set me straight on this....

RCM......What does the RCM mean bro?

Couldn't think of anything good while signing up. As I was getting baked, I referenced my nickname (Red) to the red hairs on my bud! My hair isn't even red anymore, for some weird reason, but the nickname has stuck.

 

[GandalfdaGreen]

I always wondered. My winter "mountain man" beard has some red in it.

I love this thread!
Thanks for all the info on the OBR's Gandalf. I'll keep special attention, on the GS dom baby. I love em all so far.
Everyone else, thanks for the shout on the yellowing thing. We'll see what happens. Keep you posted. Peace & Love. Myco

Myco, that almost looks like mosaic virus to me. Do a google image search of "mosaic virus cannabis" and see what you think..

Stow, I think you're absolutely right! Well, F@#k me! Back to my oil for now.

Peace & Love. Myco

Thank you Stow, awesome catch brother.

I'm only speculating here. I came across a thread on another site where the leaves looked very similar to what you posted.

Hopefully I'm wrong!

I never heard of mosaic virus. Just read up on it. Leaves will also curl upward along with the discoloration
its spread by aphids and cucumber beetles. So if you haven't had those pests you should be straight. It seems to hit just melons, squash, cucumbers. Or anything related to those

 

[mycomaster]

After a quick search around, I really think you nailed it bro. All the pics look exactly like what I have. Oh brother. I guess I'll be reading up on this more, but from what I've already seen, it's a bitch to get rid of. At least I know what it is though. I hope to Gods this crap isn't in my soil.
On a lighter note, I just finished up some oil. I think I left a gram in my kitchen, well pretty much everywhere. It was chipping, and shattering trying to get it off the dang razor blades if I let it sit on my mat for even a second, LOL. Happy Happy Happy.
Peace & Love. Myco

I think you guys got it with the mosaic virus, but if not, check borad mites out. They are nothing like spider mites, and look similar to the mosaic virus symptoms.

OK, so now I'm reading up on this too. lol There seems to be a lot of debate over what the symptoms are (surprise surprise). You may have that, or it may just be some type of deficiency. I'd say either way, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet. If I were you I'd take a couple cuts of this and plunk them in some inert media. If those clones start showing the same symptoms, then it could be something systemic like mosaic virus. Maybe at that point consider killing off that strain and do a complete sterilization of everything. If not, then you likely just have some sort of deficiency.

I hope you get this all sorted out bro!

 

[GandalfdaGreen]

Give it an all purpose tea and move on. I'd like to see this in 10 days. You can add a little EJ K to your tea too. Or extra kelp. You got this shit Myco.

 

[GandalfdaGreen]

It is this plants version of a birthmark. Remember...we are looking for the recessive traits.

 

[mycomaster]

I just so happen to have a clone, in a sprayer type cloner. The problem is, it has said look to it, but I can't for the life of me remember if it was there before I took the cut ! The clone is rooted well enough, so I'm gonna pop it in some soil, keep it separate, and see what happens. I'll be moving soon enough, and if i have to do some extreme cleanse I will then. Good grief, at this point, all this crap makes me wish for some good ol GM or root rot, LOL. Alright guys, thanks for all the attention today, but I think it's time for some oil, and chill music. Cook the wife some dinner, and put this crap behind me for the moment. Take er easy folks. Peace & Love. Myco

 

[Javadog]

It could very well be a trait of that pheno. I'd be careful chasing something that may have little to no say in the final outcome. I am curious too.

I had a birthmark on two plants recently....and they had a similar color.

Here is a photos of one:


Take care,

Man, is it good to be back. Sorry to butt in with nothing but I've been poking through the last couple days of posts trying to get up to speed and there's just a ton of good info and pics. Great to see a thread like this just getting better and better.

 

[Mad Hamish]

I'm having some mixed signals with what this may be. I thought I would bring it into the Tea thread, and see what's up with everyone's opinion. Be brutal, just give it to me honest.

I haven't seen a single sigh of necrosis anywhere, or anything like that. It's just this weird yellow coloration on the leafs. I've heard it's a CBD trait, and a K def now. I want this lady as healthy as possible before her flip, but not sure how to approach this. Any insight would be great appreciated. Thanks in advance. Peace & Love. Myco

Shite, if it is indeed TMV that is a tough one. I know for sure ciggy smoke on hands or clothes causes it too. I used to run a few tunnels worth of tomatoes. Tobacco was one of our big enemies. If you have a smoke and touch a leaf it infects it. It was more splotchy, though. Not quite like this, but I have only seen it on tomatoes before. Here is a pic of my worst-hit leaf suffering K def. Ewwww. I hauled this lady to good light just for you Myco.

Look how close all of this looks to each other. How did we manage to grow herb without threads like this before? Really good to be learning from everybody. Max respect.

As Gandalf said, there is always something. Smooth sailing all the way every time and it would become boring. I second Gandalf. Give her a good tea, and wait 10 days and report back.

Java, that birthmark looks damn psychedelic. Actually looks pretty awesome. I have never seen that before either.

 

[GandalfdaGreen]

Kali Mist BHO. Thank you Hamish and Myco for the lessons. It's very strong.

I have had that before. Now I know what it is. Thanks Hamish. I like real life pictures from my friends. This helps me more than you guys know.

Whooooaaaaa.... That looks like a mind-melt right there mate. I am literally salivating. I will need to bust out the oil making rig as soon as I have more trim.

Your pics have helped all of us more than we can mention too Gandalf. Thanks for sharing your trials and triumphs alike. It is an example I will follow for the rest of my life. No reason for somebody to make the mistakes I did. I already made them. Now we can all learn from them. I wish we could re-name threads. The Circle Of Green is something I cannot live without.

To think, there was a time I only had Jorge's book as reference. I paged through it the other day. I swear at times that he is a narc. 1 cup dolomite lime per gallon indeed.

 

[May11th]
