First full organic progress

Looking good finally even if this is reameneded roots and not my mix just yet. I do have some plants in veg in my mix tho.

I too dressed a few weeks in a row leading to flower. Normally everything would turn lime green right away from lack of N. So I'm quite happy this time around. My tangie photo up front finished stretch and kept good color no fading at bottom either. Though I think I should have removed more lower growth (my first attempt to mainline).
The 2 stunted autos in back and doing ok for being stunted the domina on left not as well as ww cbd on right. The jack auto up front I didn't feed enough pre flip so she yellowed up quick before food caught up. She'll come down within a week.

Looks good.

FWIW, I didn't have the best time with organics and cloth pots. Too dry around the circumference for organic soil for me anyway.

I know what you mean on that, I've used cloth from almost the get go and had better results and enjoy the fact that root bound doesn't be one an issue as I tend to veg long anyway with photos.

I had already looked into blumats for the next step once I dial this all in a bit more. Which should help with that plus I won't have to ask anyone to water my plants while I'm gone on vakays.Man I can't even think about that before when using liquid nutes hah.

The tangie haze mainline is drinking like a fish. Feeding 2x a day she's also only in 2 gal of soil so yeah

I agree. I am about to start my second cycle ( I think most in here enjoy steep learning curves )and I feel like now that I'm harvesting I've jumped the shark. I had spider mites, I caught em and I killed em. I figure once I figure out my schedules, feeding, watering, foliars, ect. then I'll be cycle 2-2.5. I figure I'll have some idea of water consumption Vs Soil moisture level. Then I will get a Blumat, one that has a resiviour. Also , I ran five girls in a 4x4' tent. That was too tight, couldn't get to the back of the tent. I decided that I'll just keep the two 15 gal pots that won't be in use, I'll just plant cover and rotate them in and our. (I'd like to get a second tent). . .

Haha on steep learning curve. For sure that's been my patch. I was a chef and I also work with my local farmers in my job still, so this is all education I get to apply and understand what some of my farmers are doing with food.

My 4x4 is great I had a 3x3 before and that was madness with 4 plants. I veg in a spare closet so I can do perpetual grows.

Sadly I have to battle spider mites almost always thru each grow (thanks to my job and being around fresh produce from various types of fields and growing conditions I can only imagine what hitch hikes home with me daily. I use 2 diff systemic style sprays (one is citric acid based the other rosemary based) in rotation when I have issues and it'll clear it up just a battle I have to deal with.

Just of what I thought I was on cruise control I noticed this very next day so this is two days deep noticing and obviously it's worse today the rust spotting on pretty much majority of the leaves as far as I can tell magnesium? Or maybe manganese. Didn't think I needed to top dress any extra dolomite. This is just the roots org stiff reameneded. Do I need to consider more rock mineral addition other than like, humic, langbeinite?

Two things jump out at me. One: How far into flowering are you? Two: You do have a deficientcy, but how long have your leaves been looking frowny?

Just in week 3. Flipped on the 18th.

I top dressed last week, and last night fed tea and sprayed her down with it too. This morning I checked before lights out. It seems I slowed it down a bit maybe as I don't think it got worse since last night's feed.
2 days with brown blotches, maybe 3 on frowny leaves (thought I overwatered bit cut back already)

Manganese is what I find in the interwebs for issue. Seems to look just like the leaf charts the yellowing slightly and the blotches. Are you inoculating with bene's and fungi? I'm thinking some type of lockout.

I don't remember if this got mycos I want to say yes, as for bennies it's been getting teas weekly since veg. I don't have any added bennies in powder forms or anything.

Lacto/labs, Kefir, Bokashi, Kombucha, or Kvass? These are probiotic soil treatments that will help with breakdown and nutrient availability. You can't just give nutes, you have to be able to break 'em down too.

More brown rusting showing up where you could see it begin, I can see edges yellowing a bit, and lots of tips looking burnt basically. The more fucked up leaves tips browned and curled. It's the entire plant not just old or newer growth.
Threw another top dress on mixed with ewc and compost per usual. I'll run another ewc tea this weekend.

You could always dilute some Kefir (organic) with some water for a shot of Ca if you want. You have something that is not agreeing with that plant.

See if you can find some green sand

Not a problem, I had asked in another thread when I was bulding my mix if I needed more than humic and lang. A few said I would be good with my list (I've added neem to it as well). The plant is way worse now. I gave some low strength of gen org liquids 2 nights in a row (one mixed with tea,last nite I added fish hydrosolate which I just got).

Was top dressed 2 weeks in a row once I saw problem. Granted it's my fault and I'm in too all of a container to not constant feed /top dress. I do like having a better understanding of how they feed thru stages. My next plant in my newly cooked soil from scratch is a maui I mainlined and I have a CPL clones in it now too I'm just doing some supercropping with a d I'll see how it performs when I'm not butchering the plant to main line lol

Pretty sure home depot has and I can just amazon it too worse case

Good progress since the deficiencies disaster (that plant is still kicking and flowering away amazingly enough with basically no fan leaves)

3 ladies going into final pots today. G13 and the maui will go into 7s and I'll run the tangie in a 5.
They have only been fed RO water and a weekly tea.

Nice colas starting to finish on my ww cbd auto and blueberry domina auto. Everything next is photo.

Upon a friend's suggestion, I have kept a valley vixen f2 that showed male preflower and tossed it in a box to force flower and keep it out of my tent . I'll move it to opposite side of house shortly. Told me to collect pollen from it and cross it with the g13. While I haven't done this before figure wtf why not.

Mixed a new batch of soil today, going to use same amounts for now (this will have greensand and neem cooked into it, I even screened out some lava rock from first soil build and replaced with perlite.. he's that was a poor choice at home the rocks.

My maui I mainline that took forever to recover from last topping finally shows some actually growth, so I'll probably flip her within the week. I top dressed and tea last night which I'll have todo weekly through stretch to avoid last times issue since she's staying in a 3 gal. The autos are in 5s bit really 4 in soil and they've had some fish juice, otherwise water and weekly tea only they are the most gorgeous plants I've grown so I'm stoked to see how these next ones do

New update
Anxiously awaiting trichomes to turn as I'm in week 12 since broke ground.

Veg all looking good.. I'm so worried to water them and over do it so I've barely water and done every cpl if days reallyu aside from trying to wet the top layer no top dressing as of yet, flip will happen in 2 weeks most likely, maybe sooner
