I don’t know if it was this thread or another, but someone strongly discouraged top fish bone meal in flower, because of the high amount of phosphorus. They said cannabis never goes deficient in that, and it will lock up the calcium. I’m suspicious of that reasoning but curious. What do you top dress your SIP’s in flowering?
First three Rounds I used Gaia 444 up until about week 3 of flower ,then I mixed 50/50 with bloom 284. First two rounds was always fighting a Nitrogen deficiency hence the 444 and more of it. Third round I saw what I think was a potassium deficiency so this round I’m mixing in a bowl 2 cups kelp 1 cup alfalfa 1 cup frass and 1 cup 444. Mix that and feed weekly 4-6 tablespoons ea sip.

I’ve never used fish bone meal.

Yup. It’s been 10-12 days now their rooted and I still haven’t had to water. I will this weekend though.
Rockwool has always worked for me so I’ve stuck with it. Holds water a long time.
Sorry I lied lol. I watered the first tray a couple days ago. They were all rooted.
 
You ain’t fucking around with your traps. Lol
Maybe add a surface spray Insecticide. Soaking your sand with it. Like spinosad or something.

I just am starting a run testing the sns systemic 209 I think it is. Use five times in veg. Then 5 times 2-3weeks later. Watered in through the Rez, would work with your sips I’m sure as well
Try some Lost Coast Plant Therapy for gnats and mold/mildew. Works pretty well and is fully organic.

Day 16 today. Stretching hopefully is getting close to finished. Buds are forming up ,sips are drinking. Tucking leaves and removing a few. Will have to raise the lights above the Scrogg girls. Getting a little too close. I have about 8 more inches to raise them. Will start bending them away if stretch continues.
They all seem happy with the food so far. I’ll keep adding every week. Some pics. Going to start running my dehumidifier at night. RH is up to 60% at night with only about 65f as the low. 28E207C3-0E30-4A48-90E7-684C747FCAFC.jpegA02F2BE1-E900-4998-BCE9-87216EEAFFB1.jpegAAF5449C-2329-439D-9555-7762FF5A1EC3.jpeg

Been removing a lot of leaves here and their. Humidity starting to creep up even with the dehumidifier running at night. First grow with it this high. Use to freak out if it got above 50% but plants seem to like the 60+%. I’ll leave it for now. Added in some floor fans to keep the air moving.

Plants are hungry. I noticed this one started to fade. Also a clear sign of a phosphorus deficiency. Gave her some fish stuff @ 2-3-1 a few times and can see a little more green working in. Also did a topdress of more Gaia bloom.09F9E22D-8525-47CF-97AF-448565718515.jpegF9E59A23-2FA4-40D2-96B9-05CE730E117F.jpeg

Back when I filled these sips I had ran out of cooked dirt so one got mostly filled with dirt from last grow. The one with the deficiency’s surprise surprise. Gnats were on the rise again guess where there coming from. That same tote:wall: my bad for not catching on sooner. Dumped a bunch of sand on it a couple days ago and what a difference.Not near as many fliers now.77CD62E2-266B-418D-86BD-877EDD24344C.jpeg
