Okay this grow has turned into a soil grow:P The chiller didnt work and the plants were starting to shit themselves. So dismantled the system last night put into freedom farms soil, so will try again after this grow.

Phungus Gnat hunting.. Needless to say... Another one bites the dust..

I've selected the back left lady for pollination, will snap some pics of her this evening. Some light defoliation, I think a little more is in order. Impressed with the gene's, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the breeders work.

1,2,3 pics in order. Still only water with molasses every 4th watering now.

whats up man!! so at a glance, i would say you may have over done it a bit along the way. but lets dig in and see what we can find. That sounds strange as the soil is ready to use as i understand it? how much coco and worm castings did you use and what coco did you use? buffered or unbuffered? all at the same time? grow is for veg, the rest is for flower i believe? @Prom what is your opinion? You should also be lowering the dose A LOT if you are mixing them all together and you can go a bit higher with the PH for a soil grow. 6.8 is the go to for soil. what are you adjusting and measuring your Ph with? i would stop this - only foliar for a purpose... we dont need rain on the leaves ie, epsom spray or fulvic spray or pest management sprays and not just plain water...

Harves time eventually, I’m proud of my girl, real good buds Good luck to all

Good day people, This season I'm going to be running x5 of each strain Grapefruit Sourz F1 Tortoni F2 Chocolate Gelato F2

Hey growmies, Been quiet for a while working on improving my setup and craft. I started some Liberty Haze seeds from Barney's Farm 3 July and it's been a struggle from the start due to very low Temps. So excuse the stunted growth. I've ran into a bit of an issue this week and thought perhaps some of the experienced growers in this forum could advise. My medium pH seems to be high. I'm thinking it could be nute lock out and/or a build up in the soil because of the high pH. I'm using Jamie's living soil but I've amended it using coco, worm castings, humigrow and a bit of molasses. Been watering with aerated tap water pH 6.2 to 6.5 and feeding weekly using biobizz bloom, heaven, grow, top max and every second feed I add a bit of worm tea as well. I've also just been spraying foliage with plain aerated tap water daily. Lights - 130watt 3500k growopz + 75watt 3500k growopz. I'm also struggling with height so I'm considering adding some blue and red spectrum that I think may help with this.

Thankfully we got some decent rain, won't have to water anytime soon hopefully

Welcome back stranger [emoji91] , That soil is made to not feed basically , should/could last a while grow from veg to flower , might be to much stuff you added, just give plain water and a microbe inoculant Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk

I am thinking possibly leaching over time. Potting up and using just the plain soil I reckon will be an easy way to get her right again.

To be honest, I forgot to add cal mag to my mix. That was my bad. The worm castings I usually buy from hydroponic.co.za in brackenfel. I'm hoping after the flush she got yesterday that she's recovering but I'll be repotting into just plain Jamie's soil and I think that should help. Thanks for the advice bro. Much appreciated. I'll post an update in a week or so. Below was what she looked like last week.

okay, not terrible by far. you should have added a calcuim source aswell to the coco for your buff, but that likely isnt your issue in the ratio you used (1:1:4) - just a note for next time the worm castings should also be fine - where did you source them from? store bought? or home made? if store bought... you went in fairly heavy... but it shouldnt be an issue if it was store bought ... home made tends to be crazy high in nutes and could possibly be causing kak in the pot now. if the other plants are happy with less, i think you have your answer potting up to 30l with only the organic soil should help the most

There are many ways to LST a plant. As long as it ends with the results you want - which is often a flat canopy, then it is a success. Play around, try different things and see what works best for you or best in specific situations. LST is great to shuffle the apical dominance around between the different branches and gives some of the side branches more of a chance to catch up and to level the canopy.

So I think your issue lies with the amendments you did - the coco and/or worm castings. The coco in brick form needs to be buffered. So you would expand the coco then soak it in a solution of CalMag (higher strength as well - way more than a teaspoon. I recall you want an EC of at least 0.8 if not higher after adding the CalMag). Let the coco soak overnight to allow for the cation exchange to take place. If the coco is not buffered then it can leach calcium and magnesium from your feed & soil and leave a deficiency and the high amount of salts which get pushed out in the cation exchange will sit in your medium. At the same time, the worm castings could be throwing things out of whack in terms of nute levels or even PH and could be causing a lockout of some sort. I feel the fact that the other plants in the same soil with less / no amendments is happy and healthy. I am not 100% sure where exactly the issue lies though, is it with the coco or is it more with the worm castings? If it is the coco, then you would want to add calmag to your feed and pushing a bit of extra feed through to the pots to help get rid of the salts from the coco cation could be good too... This could also help dilute the strength of the worm castings a little in the soil mixture though. What colour are the stems of the unhappy plant?

Well Dam Dave. Looking mighty fine homie [emoji54][emoji54][emoji16][emoji16] Nicely recovered dude! Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Heck no, brother, it's all good, man I almost destroy plants on the regular (and sometimes do!). Fire up another seed or two and start over!!

Damn, that's cool. Just some regular LST? . This makes me feel like I did a proper shit job

No, that's a little more involved. I just tied the branches down a lot and defoliated a bunch. I like to try keep it simple.

Thanks hey. When you do an apprenticeship one's success depends on the tradesman guiding you. Thank you all, I think I might just have passed although I had to do a re-write of sorts. [emoji1690][emoji109] Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Wow!!!! These plants recovered so well and look really amazing. Good job dude.

They look tasty I must say.. Not the most potent smell but still appealing. Having the six outdoors now to see how they do with more root space.. Bud size is also acceptable for the 5L pots I have them in. The 6 weedlings are finding the soil I put them in a bit hot, I see.. They'll be potted up on the second node and all topped and trained heavily.. maybe I leave one as is.. All depends on the fem count though..

Great article, thanks. The amount I’ve learned I. The last year and a bit from everyone here is astounding. Big up everyone [emoji1739] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t worry, bout a thing. Good luck and thanks sooooo much for this place. The vibe is incredible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some nice temps per terpine and cannabinoids for vaporizing temp settings https://www.getmyster.com/blogs/blog/what-are-the-best-temperatures-for-vaping-weed

Well well. Put six seeds outdoors straight into soil 5 days ago.. Happy to report 5 showed face.. Time to try these babies outdoors.. The others girls are doing great. The seeded girl is stuck and looks the same as the previous photo..

Yes. Gave her some Chockolate Gelato pollin.. Could have a interesting hunt for mid summer..

Top row (green tag) - Chocolate gelato, all 5 germinated but one is taking its time popping up. Middle row (orange tag) - Tortoni, all 5 looking good Bottom row (purple tag) - Grapefruit Sourz, all 5 looking good

Blomme. Week - No idea. No effort being put in here. These here weeds are just growing themselves. Oscillating fans are hocus pocus, you just need correct FAE. I have 2 brand new in the box, black RAM fans for sale R300 each. Hit me up if you want them, courier for your pocket.

I just wanna kindly ask that you please keep the trolls away from here. If this thread turns into some shit show online wild west I'm gonna remove it. The forum isn't here for that. You have FB and IG for that
