My opinion doesn't mean much around here, but I agree with you. My parents have been growing with MG for probably 60 years. There is a reason for that. Of course it's not pot, but still. Actually, I put 2 pot plants on their back porch last summer to see how they did compared to 2 of the same on my porch. It was fun having my 79 and 80 year old parents growing cannabis lol. One turned out ok, the other was a bit slower and I forgot about it. Probably still there.
Thank you, I appreciate your contributions here.
I'd love to see pics of one of your coco grows
Wow! Quite the competitive nature instead of helping.I'd love to see pics of one of your coco grows
Any of his grows frankly.I'd love to see pics of one of your coco grows
Ok I'll try one more time to save you. You have a burnt and starved plant you have now moved to an inert medium. Think plastic, if you put your plant in a pot of ground up plastic could it take up any nutrients from the plastic? No the only nutrients would be from the water you gave it and what is included in your water.
Frankly after reading this I decided to try one more time to get the kid to listen. Ah well I shall take my 'trolling ways' elsewhereAny of his grows frankly.
Hits the ignore button..
That's a great song.
Yes, I think that must be it. I hope so anyway. I completely understand about the coco, I just thought it was better than leaving it in the old soil. It doesn't look any worse today after the transplant, maybe even a little better - but yes I know it has no nutrients. I am going to try to get some new soil tomorrow and will repot all the other photos, but I might just leave the one in coco and fertilize it to see what happens. I don't really want to traumatize it again anyway. I'm not sure about the autos, maybe I will transplant the young ones. It will probably stunt them but oh well, live and learn. Thank you for the suggestions.
In the UK there is a fertiliser called Tomorite. It is a general purpose plant food. Most gardening TV shows suggest it's use, for anything. If you go on the UK groups it is sneered at for Cannabis, same argument as Mr. MiracleGro up there. Yet I have been growing weed with it for years, when you call them out on it, they all fuck off, because, as with that idiot up there, they are just repeating shit they have read on the internet. I notice he hasn't been back with his expert chemical analysis.
You're not allowed to ignore me
it's in your TOS.
It really is
sort of the pleasant soundtrack of RIU.
You're expecting to see movement far too quickly even for hydro. As for transplanting I've not noticed any setback from that. Usually they droop for the afternoon after transplant but pick up the next day. However I've only been growing since 1996 so I may not have seen it yet
I'll keep observing.As I mentioned previously I have a friend with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry who can grow pot in anything (after his lifetime focus on plant physiology I'm not surprised). He's successfully used MG because he had it laying around. Cannabis is just a plant and not a particularly picky one. So use what works for you.
My mate is a Chemist. He found the concept of pre-mixed calmag hilarious. He considers a way of maintaining a healthy balance between the rich, stupid and/or lazy. He showed me how to mix my own using Epsom salt and calcium chloride. Then we worked out a schedule/ratio we could give it at, based on the PPM of my tap water. For about £12 ($10) I have enough CalMag to last for years. My plants are better for it too, we are encouraged to give way too much CalMag. I use Plant Magic Oldtimers Organic and they sell "Organic Magnesium" (aka Epsom Salt) at a silly price, they want you to give at the rate of 1g per litre with every feeding, it is no wonder people get salt build up.
