Screwed up my batch of Super Soil...Help

CaptainAhab_420 said:

Definitely reason enough; is as just curious if there was more to it. I top dressed with pure worm castings and kelpmeal at first sign of flower a few weeks back.

As for container size; she's in the ground and the hole was roughly 3'x4'. Soil is 50% Super Soil and 50% FFOF cut with clean coco and perlite.

the soil at the bottom drain well?
3 by 4 is pleeeeenty of soil for the plant to take from.
they look pretty good man.
that's a lot of flower for this time of year, probably a sensitive lady huh?
All mine that are outside are still vegin, but i'm in california, so I may be getting a longer day

Yea it does; the native soil is Sandy/clay. I'm 215 in cali too; but I'm in the southern half. She flipped when the days started getting shorter a few weeks ago. I'm honestly pretty happy she flipped early since their forcasting a pretty wet and humid fall for us :-/

Thanks, I have been adding kelp to my tea because I read a couple similar statements during my research.

Why be careful with high P fert? Is there a reason other than lockout or nute burn?

Too much P is easy to do and reduces yields faster then not enough.....The yellowing from the bottom up. Starting early in bloom says too much P too early!

Fast N for outdoors......Stinging nettles work good too.....nettles and comfrey,,,,top dressed can be kinda slow but, work well.
Use them in your tea for more N fast...

UPDATE: Week 7 of Flower; Potassium deficiency??

ahh now that.. is interesting, I bet a good watering with some Epsom salts would help that a lil.
Or a possible overfeeding with potassium (too much molasses can do that)
At first glimpse it cold be nitrogen, but I don't think so, typically that won't do the greener veins and rust spots.

I gave her a little epsom in a tea 2 weeks ago, is it too soon to add more?

I use an Epsom/water solution as an organic weed killer.... Dont wanna accidentally OD her on that shit hahahah

no it's not too soon, but that rules out that as a possible remedy.
How does Epsom work as a weed killer?
Possible nitrogen def, super soil runs out of that quickly, but I've never seen a simple nitrogen def create rust spots
I would lean more towards a toxicity issue possibly, really hard to tell for sure, without being there to get my hands dirty

I've been adding nitrogen in the form of teas and top dressed with 40lbs of earthworm castings since she was planted. And I can't remember off the top of my head why the Epsom salts work for weeds; I just know if you add 2 cups per gallon and spray LIBERALLY on the leaves it kills them.

Toxicity issue could be ruled out by flooding with a weak well rounded tea and waiting a day or two right?

not really...a toxicity can be caused by a bunch of things, some are readily fixable, some aren't.
When I was experimenting with BSM as a nutrient a ways back, I experienced a toxicity with too much potassium. That pretty much didn't get better even when I fed solely water for the last three weeks.
Sometimes feeding too often in an organic soil can drive the ph a lil acidic, especially with teas.
It's much harder to fix a toxicity rather than a deficiency, sorta like the cooking saying "you can always add more salt, but never take it away"

Gotcha... Damn, Well hopefully she will live out the next 2 weeks without too much damage to her flowers.
