Grow Timeline (25 updates)
I noticed clear signs that my plants soil wasn't draining well enough and it was also staying wet for way too long so I decided to go to the store and get what I needed to properly make a mix. this is what I made:
30% perlite
35% Peat Moss
20% Compost
15% Coarse sand
I amended the soil with ¾ recommended strength with:
Blood worms
Bone meal
Wormcastings
PS- couldn't get any vermiculite sold out
I saw that my plants were clearly under a lot of stress, yellowing, spots, curling, etc. I didn't like how the soil was draining already and I felt that if I waited till tomorrow to repot, my plants would be much worse off possibly dead so I started repotting late the night before and
ended up continuing throughout the night. I finished around 4:30.
Side note: Lost one plant. it hadn't grown at all since the last repot and looked lifeless. I set it outside and left it by the rainbarrels
I broke it
gotta start early or gently break the membrane in the stem to loosen before bending
I put it back together- it still had a ton of connective material. I wrapped it with triple thick(wide like [lll]) twist ties and the plant still seems to be thriving 😀
use tape when mending broken branches. I stay away from twist ties because they can cut into the plant. I only use rubberized ties when training.
I'll keep that in mind thanks
GH nutes are great I'm using them on 2 of my plants in a synthetic grow
