Fair enough. I'll give it a small dose tonight with a very light watering. Agreed on the front left girl (Strawberry Nuggets), she has been weird from Day 1, almost pulled her after a week or two and started another but just figured I'd run her for the heck of it. Last couple of weeks though she's definitely plumped up a bit but still definitely the runt of the litter here.
I'll give it a shot, appreciate the advice. Not that I'm blaming CoM by any means, but this is almost identical to how my issues started in
OF with the Trio nutes, just slight yellowing, clawing, then it just got worse and worse until I finally harvested. Hoping this is just minor and doesn't continue that same trajectory. Appreciate the advice! Make some
I have a feeling that some may be in this 'additive state of mind'. Kinda like,' the more different additives I can use, the better' thought process.
It's real easy to fall into. I think a lot of guys coming from chem grows are more likely fall into that state of mind.
The one thing that is a constant in any organic or living soil grow...................Bigger is always better! .....referring to pot size.
Your girl has a bigger bank to draw from before she beggs ya for more.
Out of the bag mix should take you fully into early flower with no problems. If it doesn't, increase pot size. Depending on the auto strain, I would start adding flower nutes around week 3 for it to be available by mid-flower. And that's depending on what you're using for flower nutes.
One flower feeding technique I came up with to feed liquid nutes in an EarthBox, without washing any nutes into the rez. It can easily be adapted to regular pots. I was using my homemade
This same technique can be used with regular pots with one simple change. Make the exact same slurry, Blue Gold Flower on BAS can sub for
On my first compost tea application, I usually add a SST(Sprouted Seed Tea) to help encourage root growth, it does other things, but that's the effect I'm after. With all the hormones in the SST, it helps the roots to grow more to utilize more of the nutes ya just added.
For sure, I def think that was part of my problem on my last 2 grows (first two ever) with
OF and the trio, was "excited" to use nutes/max light/cal mag/etc. to get them as best as can be, and quickly learned that's a counterintuitive idea.With these girls, I've pretty much left them alone for the most part - watered every 4-5 days or so whenever they need it, done the two feedings so far, and aside from a bit of Epsom salt last watering, nothing else at all.
I'm using 5 gallon pots (up from 3 gallon) for the same logic you had above. However I've never done any fermented juice or teas etc. just yet. Maybe something to look into for next grow if this continues with issues here.
