I was basing my call on the leaf burn pattern (looks like a cal/mg deficiency) and your comment about your ph being high. Dolomite will lower your ph and add cal/mg into your grow on an indoor grow. Use hydrated lime for your outdoor grows...or as a topping on your compost pile. :peace: cof

Im pretty sure lime is a soil sweetener raising the ph. A great source of Ca but if Mg is needed I go with epsom salts.

You can't flush soil so please don't even try. All you'll do is eliminate your needed microbes. Just top dress the dolomite lime and water as needed. DOG pr0n coming up shortly. :peace: cof

He is using a blend of synthetic nutes building up salt so that would be the only reason for a wee flush imo.



Deephouser,
Just me, but I would leave it be, chill with the nutes for a bit and flush out some of that crud while your at it, and start adjusting the ph of your water. She will be ready for nutes again in a week. Also, I suggest using 1/2 the recommended dose by FF.


edit: also, I think that lower stuff is dying off from age/lack of light/crowded conditions.

You know you're working hard when your legs are tired.

Have a good weekend peeps. I'm taking the day off too... my legs are tired too. (seriously)

Smoking on Chernobyl and Sour D today. :) Good to see you drgrowshit.

Thanks, whodat. I do know it is pretty crowded down there. Fortunately I have pretty good air flow, or it would be worse I'm sure. I've been thinking about supplementing with a couple compact CFLs down there. I think I'll do it. Would Epsom salts provide both the calcium and magnesium that I need? Also, is that blended into the water as I feed? It seemed like dolomite lime was something that I put on top of the soil.

Dolomite works best worked into the soil, IMO you don't need liming. All that little larf on the inside is something I would have gotten rid of from the start, that lil shiz ain't gonna be nothing but hash material.

the epsom salt is a Mg source, not saying you needed it, just saying. I mix it in the soil when I make the batch, but Mg deficiencies are generally fixed with a foliar application.

Yeah, I've read about a lot of people removing that lower growth. It's been hard for me to make up my mind on that. Being my first grow, I kind of decided to just let it go natural (as natural as can be after a FIM attempt and later a topping). It's probably too late to be worthwhile removing it. And I was kind of expecting using it as hash material, so it won't be that bad if that's what it ends up being. Just learning a lot - thanks for the feedback.

I know, its difficult removing any precious growth you've worked so hart to get :-) when trimming comes your mind may change lol

Yeah, I think that will be a chore. Although for a first time grower, it will probably be a pleasant chore. For you more experienced growers...maybe not so much :) I've still got another 6 weeks of 12/12, I think. Maybe more, maybe less. No idea...but that's my baseline target.

I am a popcorn fan!!! Nice snappers for bowls and great hash material! Something that you will learn growing over and over again is trying different things to see what suits your personal preference and goals for growing. Growing is a constant learning curve, one thing for sure deephouser, you are in the right place to learn!

Peace
