New Grower CBD Auto-grow Journal v1.02

[Mañ'O'Green]

Actually, I haven't backed off until today's watering, still in progress. And with a coir pH of 6.5, P, B, & Mg may be in short supply according to the Nutrient/pH chart. From what I have seen on the net, it looks like the beginning stages of Boron def. My action, in my opinion might be to fertigate to minimum of 20% runoff with a pH of 5.5. Am I making any sense here?

Images of Mg def seem to look more like this...

Is that a picture of your plant?

No...just the three I posted earlier.

Would either of these be the correct way to test pH of runoff??

Jeez there is a million ideas out there. I do not think there is a correct or wrong way. You are worrying your grow to death chasing this stuff in a circle. You have the PH probe; it is accurate enough to keep you in tolerance where it counts in the root zone. You did buy the one that @Waira recommended right?

I believe it was the one you gave me the amazon link to. ...and I get you message on "micro-management" of my grow. Glad you brought it up, thanks for being honest.

We absolutely do need to manage every aspect of the plants environment. Once the basic environmental factors have been met then we need to back off a little and let the plant grow. If you start playing "Whack-a-Mole" the plant will suffer for it. It is like oversteering your car on an icy road; it just does not end well.

To quote a rastafarian that just bought an abandoned prison to start a pot farm " Don't worry - Be Happy".

If I am correct it was done by Bobby McFerrin back in the late 80's, the original I believe.
Being my first grow and having lost several seeds, I have been torn between two similar entities; fast fixes and the desire to understand. Symptoms seem to crop up so fast that I am responding too fast thinking the plants will crash and burn by the next day an I will have not gotten a single buzz!

Blue Mystic Trained canopy - 18in, untrained...aprox. 32in, width 20in
King's Kush CBD Trained - 15in, untrained...aprox. 30in, width 20in
Blue Cheese - Trained prior to transition - 18in, width 20in

No matter how much experience you have you will lose plants especially seeds. It is called human error. Then add a healthy dose of cannabis and the error factor goes up. I just drowned 5 expensive seeds. I overfilled the tray under my A-ok starter cubes and did not notice they were wicking up the water until 9 days later. Two did make it but the others rotted. I replanted and 4 out of five are up in just 3 days. Oh well. I will just eat another piece of rosin chocolate and all will be well in my world.

Fertigated King's Kush CBD @ 65% Wk9 to 20% runoff (3.0 gal) - June 13
Final gal with 1tsp Earth Juice

Despite KK CBD's later planting, this plant has been more nutrient resilient than the Blue Mystic and seems likely to complete sooner. She is sticky, sticky...

Every grow I do has plants that like their dinner more than others. I have the situation with my setup that they all get the same rations so the decision has to be made to over or under feed the oddball plant. I can hand feed and have but mostly I am too lazy to do that.
