Soil Issues

well you might of burnt those babies id suggest a flush then a test for ph then adjust the soil as necessary

Hey White Ryno.... I was just wondering, are you growing white rhino? The reason I ask is because that's the only strain I grow. I love everything about it. Explosive growth during veg, and huge colas when flowering! Tri-chome production like you wouldn't believe. Sticky and stinky. It's flat out super-ganja! heheh

haha no i'm not. to be honest i don't know what strains they are. i have just saved seeds for a little while from the goodies i get here and there...not much to the name other than my nickname is ryno

thank you all for your help...all the new growth on the plants is looking very healthy. i've run into a couple more issues though....

first off is the pesky species known to us as goddamgnat motherfuckerus (saw that in a high times and it made me chuckle). anyways, i used some non-toxic spray (advertised to kill fungus gnats among others) and hung some sticky fly traps to control the problem. I also put some of the spray in some water (very diluted) to treat the soil for possible larvae. ideally I would have used something with BTI in it but, because all the stores around me are seasonal, it wasn't available.

next...the reason i started this forum was because some mold began growing on top of some compost I was using. Well, I removed the top layer of mold, the soil has dried out, and no more mold has grown since. however, it appears that a tiny bit of mold may be growing in the containers of my babies. here is a couple pictures of one sample. i chose this plant because it is far behind in growth from the others so i was going to toss it anyways. the mold is similar on others...let me know if you think it is cause for concern or possibly just nutrients (should be noted that i used a sulfur mix to correct pH about two weeks ago)

try a little more nitrogen i use a good bit of blood meal in my soil mix especial for durable strains for this kind of nonsense. id go for some N. and if you have room i wouldnt toss that plant it may be behind but ive had plants like that and sometimes they hit a growth spurt and catch up, or exhibit different growth traits, i had a reall miserable looking plant start with a leaf mutation that i ended up using as a mother because it took topping really well and was some great smoke. so give it a week or 2 and see. if you dont have room toss it though

should i make a sprayable solution or sprinkle on the surface of the soil? i have a miracle gro organic bloodmeal supplement that is a granulated consistency (12-0-0). if i should sprinkle, how much per plant. containers are typical sized styrofoam cups (10-12 oz)

um i typically mix it with the soil but im thinking you could put a small amount on top before you water and use the water to sink it into the soil
