Nutrients for soil grows

[Javadog]

HIgh P guano is good during flower IIRC, but in proper amounts, of course.

Good luck,

Is that a mix I can buy?

Anybody else have more? Is there anything good I can get at Lowes or a nursery or somethin? If I have to order online for better stuff that's not problem and I'll put money into good shit.

Just read all this and there's A LOT of good info in here, especially for a beginner like myself. This is my first grow and I'm trying decide what soil and nutes to use. If anybody could help push me in the right direction that would be great. I would like to use organic but idk if I wanna order that much stuff and mix it all for my first time. So I would like to know if there is an already made up organic kind with the guano and castings and what not that you guys think works well. If so could somebody tell me all the types I would need, give me some directions and tell me the best place to buy it and about how much it should cost? I have no hydro shops around so it's either Lowes or internet. If you think I would be better off with something else let me know.

You can get any good organic soil and add espoma tomato tone and there you go. simple organics.

All of the expensive nutes use worm castings as a base, it will not burn the roots, the plants thrive. For a Tea, get a 5 gal bucket, pair of wifes panty hose, fill bucket w/water, put 2 cups worm casting in hose and tie in a knot. Place in water soaking overnight with 5 gal aquarium pump to aerate. Makes 5 gal Worm Casting Tea, results are amazing, you can use it every other water.

High P guano is like Sunleaves Jamaican Bat Guano, not a mix. Like said before, great organic source for P during flowering but in high amounts can cause problems. I was suggest to put some only around the plants stalk then watering if you plant on top dressing with it. Teas are different.

with worm castings, water, aeration, and molasses, you can make a great microbe tea, but your plant still needs feeding. Like people feed with bottles nutes, it still needs other teas/brews for other needs like your N,P,K, ect.

Can any one tell me what's wrong with my plant has crispy brown tips, also the stem is purple?

[AllDayToker]

What size pots are they in? They almost look root-bound.

 

[Daniel710]

There in about 1.8gal

 

[AllDayToker]

Well pot size shouldn't be an issue then. Depending on how old the plant is and how often it's watered.

There is a number of things from over/under watering, over/under fed, the medium being used, ect. that could be causing the problem.

We need more information on the situation the plant is in and how it's cared for before we can find figure out what's going on here.

My plant is 22days old I'm using super soil with Mexican bat guano and organic garden lime! I've watered it every time the soil drys out on the top about once a day! Then temp stays be tween 79-84f with humidity about 31-50%! I've only fed it twice now with the bat guano mixed in to water only 1/8 tsp to 17fl of water I recently added some of the lime in to the mix thinking it was low on nutrients!

 

[AllDayToker]

If you are using a super soil or a soil mix as you described, you shouldn't have to feed for at least the first 4-6 weeks. I'm guessing the feeding as some play in this, only feed when the plant looks like it needs fed, if it looks happy and healthy let it be.

I think your main problem is over watering. Firstly, you shouldn't be watering every day with a plant that young, with those temps, and with that size of pot. Second, do not water the plant when just the top is dry. A good rule of them is if the top 4-5 inches of soil is dry, you want to water. And easier method that I use is just lifting the pots.

Lift your pot after you water, feel how heavy it is. Then next time before you water, lift it. If it feels light, it needs watered, if it still feels heavy, let it go another day.

 

[Daniel710]

It's call super soil potting soil, is that okay or is there anything i was supposed too mix in with the potting soil? Or is this soil okay to use as is! And thanks for the advice first time grower so running in to these mistakes!

 

[Daniel710]

One more thing have you ever had little mushrooms sprout up from the soil? Good or bad? I've read something about its my humidity any suggestions?

 

[AllDayToker]

No problem, here to help.

I thought you made your own super soil, soil mixed with organic materials so no feeding is required just water and grow.

Your potting soil should be fine, like I said before, just water until it looks like it needs fed then feed. Don't feed if it already looks healthy.
