    Humic Acid Application

    No misinformation at all, i believe that your suggestion of watering with it is good. Top dressing although difficult is not impossible...maybe it can be mixed with another amendment and better spread that way! Or mix it with some soil and top dress with the soil mix plus the humic powder.

    Humic Acid Application

    I have Pow Humus by Humitech, and application for soil is: 0.1 - 0.5 kg/m³. Problem with top dressing is that you must use a very little quantity so it's difficult to spread it all across the soil.

    Humic Acid Application

    Peat and EWC are rich in humic substances as far as i know. So the powdered humic acid is most used as a bio stimulant with some spaced applications during lifespan of the plant. I mean, if you are concerned about those substances in your soil, they should already be there and let the soil do...

    Humic Acid Application

    I use humic acid powder in little doses every 2-4 weeks. Foliar and/or irrigation. Not sure about the need of mixing it in the soil

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Well, things ain't going as good as they could. But it was stated that we not only show our good grows here, but also our mistakes. Day 42 Flower i opened my tent and immediately spotted a forming seed in one of the Gorilla Zkittlez buds. Inspected both plants and only found 1 male flower in...

    Replacing Blood meal with Alfalfa meal in a soil mix

    Done the same few days ago. Much easier to use in that form. Alfalfa is and can get very hot at first! Be sure to let it cook. Normal ratios for nutrients are 1-3 cups per cu ft of base soil.

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    This is the other tent i mounted. Not the best scenario, both for canopy management and the quality of the tent itself. But sometimes it's enjoyable to just go with what you have or can get at the moment. Plants are Sour Compassion (15-20% THC and 1-4% CBD) by a local breeder in the back, and a...

    From indoor to outdoor season: how to avoid accidental reveg?

    Hello RIU. Last year i had a bad surprise when my outdoor-from-indoor plants started first to flower and then they revegged. I think that main problem with what i did, is that i did it with really mature plants. So they were really used to the 18/6 indoor schedule, and once outside there were...

    Never been sure about defoliating (with pics) 4x4 bed

    I had to take down my plant since it hermied, but here are some pics that show how much leaves were there by day 30 of flower or so.

    Never been sure about defoliating (with pics) 4x4 bed

    I'm also still learning about it. Nowadays i remove some leaves during veg when airflow is compromised. Leaves on top of each other creating humidity spots. Etc. I also remove them sometimes for more "subjective" reasons: maybe i take out a leaf because it's on the way of my watering bottle, or...

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Forgot to mention that Afrodite and Mataro Blue will go outside for outdoor season here in South America; but i still have 2 Afrodite seeds that i surely will grow indoors.

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    To new beginnings... On the back i have the regular plant i germinated weeks ago, which it's a female (bad leaves are from wind damage). Want to take some clones from her. The other half gallon pot is a Jedi Kush clone i bought and for my (bad) surprise, it came with thrip damage. In the solo...

    When to start using silica

    My tap water is about 180ppm, mostly Calcium Carbonate...BUT it does seem useless for the plant: i did DWC once and soluble Calcium was needed. Now i do add gypsum in both my soil mix and as a top dressing. I also have amendments rich in Ca. So, not to go against what others said, just to share...

    Mold on top of my soil

    Green mycelum is trichoderma. The thing growing could be something from the EWC/compost if you didn't add any seed or cover crop.

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Had to take down my Power Plant. Ended up being a hermie and i had it next to another tent which has been flipped 10 days ago. Didn't want to take more risks and end with two pollinated tents. By day 35 seeds were clearly formed, didn't check before for male flowers because i just wasn't waiting...

    No use for Cal Mag during late Flower?

    Guess that more context is needed. Not every calmag supplement is made the same or from the same ingredients. My hydro nutes lack Ca and Mg, so i add them from another bottle. Wouldn't try to do hydro without Ca and Mg. On my organic grow, i just use dry amendments or home made fermented ferts...

    Seed or pollen sack in bud?

    Thanks for the answer. Today when lights come on, will check better the plant to see if it has any nanners. Meanwhile, i'm still wondering where did the pollen come from.

    Seed or pollen sack in bud?

    Hello RIU. For my surprise, i found these things on my flowering Power Plant. Day 35 of flower. Not sure if they are forming seeds or if the plant has hermied and those are pollen sacks. I remember seeing some brown pistils that were a surprise because it was the first weeks of flower. I...

    Grow-A-Long with Dick
