Awesome, the Black Swallow website has a load of podcasts and funny enough the one I listened to yesterday featured Clackamus Coot and his techniques for building his living soil. Next stop the MO forum on GC. Do you use spikes and layering in your grow or strictly a well amended soil? Thanks.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the Rev is big on soil cover bark mulch and a couple guys I know are also growing cover crop like clover and barley right on top of thier soil. Then they trim it with scissors and it just falls into the mix?

Yes, I'm seeing too heavy on the bonemeal and too light on the OSF just to name a few. I have to admit that I approached my first organic grow half assed and used a paper napkin recipe provided my hydro store. Though since I planted I have been doing a lot of reading and realize my approach is...

ShLUbY, back at you and thanks to you and Wetdog for sticking with the newby in respect to indoor organics. Shit I still reference my Mel Frank,s Marijuana Growers Guide that bought back in 88! Anyhow in respect to your questions. 1. Not full wet dry cycle though generally bottom 15% still...

Sorry for the ping pong I originally posted in general and then was advised to post in Organics LOL. I will stick with this thread moving forward and thanks for the feedback

Just one other comment. A friend is growing with the same genetics/ same soil recipe but is using a 600 HPS with no issues. One suggested my more powerful LED cobs and high ppfd is part of my issue? You mentioned anthocyanin which I understand provide a process of light wave absorption. could...

My soil recipe consists of... 8 gallon organic soil mix 6 gal perlite 4 gal worm castings 1/2 cup Gaia Green 4-4-4 2 cups bonemeal 2 cups feathermeal 1/4 cup soft rock phosphate 1/4 cup oyster shell flower 3 cup alfalfa meal 2 cup kelp meal 1/2 cup gypsum When I transferred to my flowering pot...

Attached is a close up pic of the creep into the sugar leaves and new growth

Also I tested a mix of EM1 and it came in at 6.8. I have not added anything but checking PH values to see where I may have gone wrong earlier in the Grow.

ShLUbY, correct me if I'm wrong but if my ph @6.2 is in the lower range and I cal mag ...... General Organics CaMg+ at 2 tsp/ gallon of RO water comes in at 4.8. Am I not exaspering the issue of low PH?

Soil ph tested @ 6.2

Soil ph comes in 6.2

Thanks to all of you for your input and advice. I do check my PH on a regular basis but done by testing my runoff, not the process you outlined shLUby. Wetdog, I believe soil testing has merit though some of the prices I have been quoted in Ontario are quite steep. What type of details were you...

Any option other than tap water at this point?

I hope dropped slightly from veg so on average 78, lights on, 68 lights of. I have experiences to lower light temp colour changes with my previous chem nutes grows but this looks different. Pales leaves that starts out with browning at the tips then progresses to the leaf base.

Yes Renfro, it has me perplexed. I'm noticing that it is creeping into the sugar leaves now and as with all things TLO, any changes likely won't correct this late into the flower. It has been suggested to CalMag (having a hard time with this) or feed the microbes e.g. Sugar load, EM1 which would...

This is my first organic grow using a well cooked globally amended mix. The only additions to my water only approach was some foliar feeding with kelp in the early vegetative stage, top Dressing with a worm casting, fish meal, kelp and alfalfa meal at week 3 of flowering and 4 balanced organic...

I was thinking General Organics CalMG + and EM1 for the next watering (today). Just not sure if I should continue through to finish or give the girls one last application and ride it out with RO for the remainder as I don't want to effect the taste taking it so close to cut down? Otherwise the...

A few weeks ago I prepared a top dress to be used into the first few weeks of flowering which consisted of worm castings, bokashi , kelp meal, bat guano, bone meal, glacial rock dust, and kelp meal. I mixed it up in a pail with a sealed lid and put it aside until plans to use next week. When I...
