Hey so I've been growing these about 8 weeks now...they're Easy Sativa, and technically should have been done by now. However, have had a couple of hiccups on the way - first pot was too small, and then I had to move out of my condo for almost a week because of all the shite that was happening in Bangkok (protests, civilian unrest, etc) and so they didn't get any water. By the time I got back most of the lower leaves were brown, so had to prune them.
Then after getting back, I was of course over-enthusiastic and over-fertilized, causing some burn. Looks like it's finally coming around now. The medium is soil + worm castings (20% or so)...on my balcony, direct sunlight from about 2pm till 6pm (west-facing). Looks like it's pre-flowering?
These are growing in 11" pots, on the balcony of my condo.
A couple of other questions since I'm posting anyways:
1. Rain - most rain in cities nowadays is acid rain, so I'm guessing exposure to this = bad for my plants, yes?
2. Air-conditioner - there's an air-conditioner outlet blowing slightly on the plants, warm air basically. Is this a stressor to be worried about?
3. Soil - sometimes when the top part of the soil gets dry it cakes, and so I till it with a fork to open it up. Not too close to the stem since I'm afraid of hitting the roots, but should this be happening, or is my medium too tight?
4. Fertilizing - is foliar feeding only for quick fixes or can it be used as a regular method? I'm using orchid fertilizer, seems pretty complete with all micronutrients etc, and using one of those pump bottles to atomize/spray. Should I just be mixing in the water and pouring into the soil?
Thanks!
