Grow Timeline (7 updates)
Finishing the third week, I see that the larger plant in the 8L pot has lost a lot of nutrients. This week I bought a concentrated MPK fertilizer and a calcium, boron, and magnesium mix, both minerals, and I'll add a little BioGrow to supply the nitrogen it needs, even if it's just a little. I started it on organic feed and will finish flowering on mineral feed, haha, which will arrive next week. The poor thing needs to feed soon; it's making a huge fuss! Jah bless!
These plants went through a mexican soap opera this week. I had to flush them because of a salt buildup, and then a violent proliferation of red spider mites started. The day before yesterday I had to do emergency pruning because manually removing them wasn't working, and now i'm afraid of spreading mold using Beauveria foliar spray. I removed some premature buds and I'm drying them out. In the end, they're doing well, Jah Rastafariii
Dam sound like hell that why hydroponic way to go
Isn't it a bit early for that advanced fade? Regardless I hope the rest of your grow goes smoothly for ya
Yes, it was difficult to get this grow going, especially this early fade. I'll let it finish using up all the nutrients it has left.
Hahahaha, hydroponics is the best there is, it's a shame I don't have the means to do it yet.
Week eight was a crazy rush, lots of problems with spidermints. I ended up harvesting the larger plant two days ago, did a bud wash on it, and now I'm drying them in my closet with indirect ventilation. Anyway, the smaller ones are following their cycle. The fatter one I'm only watering because I want to harvest it when the larger plant dries out and goes into curing. The other one I'm feeding with magnesium, MPK, and WCA+boron. Jah live!
Let's go for the tenth week! I'll harvest the plant on the right next Friday; I flushed it today. I'll leave the one on the left for another week or two to fatten up. The photos clearly show the damage caused by the spidermints; I'm having to remove them by hand, but we'll manage. I'm excited, guys! heheheh
Only suppose to feed every 2 weeks or 17 days. An don't water until almost fully dry. half or less of what they say on directions for nutes. But looks like way to much water tbh
She needs magnesium sulfate. And like Lynchcorp said donβt over water. Water as they need it, not a schedule. π
To much watering
How are the other plants doing? Is she a photo or auto(looks like an auto). I feed my photo about every 4 days, then 4 days later I just water or give it tea. She looks very damp like the others are saying. If she is an auto, you may want to back off the nutes a bit as those do not need as much attention. Before you water or feed the top inch of soil should be dry, and under that it should be barely moist. She could also be experiencing a nute lockout of some kind.
Ook, thnkx my friend ill change my routine
I will give less water to see how she looks later, thanx bro
Yea i think too
No problem ninja
Ooh sorry i didn't explain very well, she is a photo in a galon of 8L in organic soil from my garden. I'll post some more photos of her later to clear the ideas
Root bound, the wetness is probably due to a tight rootball. 5 gallon minimum for photos, I am using 10 gallon.
Oh shit, in the middle are more dense indeed, how i could fix this problem?
I'm not sure, but transplanting in flower might be counter productive, on one hand, but in the other hand, what could it hurt. If you do be super gentle with the root system. Usually you want to loosen the root ball a little, and do that but maybe just a little less because it's in flower. Add a few inches of dirt to a new pot, 5 gallon if you can. Loosen the root ball from the smaller pot, loosen out side of the root system and repot. Add soil more loose than tight around the outside, and fill your pot above current soil line on the plant.
I think it would be too risky to do that transplant, and I don't have a replacement pot. I thought about making some holes in the soil to at least remove the stagnant moisture in the center, but thank you very much for your help. I'll post some photos throughout the week.
Good luck!!! We have lessons and more lessons. Next one will be better.
