Fast Buds Fast Buds Mega Grow: Mexican Airlines!

Hey! Sorry its been a while, life has wreaked havoc upon me for a while, but I've got it under control now, for a while at least............
Went away for a week and of course, that's when things go wrong........

My ladies are experiencing a deficiency. This batch of soil was a rush job and didn't get time to cook as all the plants in this tent are having this issue. To try to restore them long enough to finish, I've started them on House and Garden Soil A and B. I measure it by ppm, I just find it easier to get consistent results. First feeding was 710 ppms cal/mag and nutrients with 150 ppms of cal mag.

The buds have been forming nicely so I really hope I can salvage these plants! If not I've got a couple more...........

Pic was taken last night. I'll post another in a couple days if the is any change, one way or the other.

all I can tell you is that was enough to revive a starved tomato plant that was a huge bush! 1 dose of blood meal about a teaspoon was all in took. I grew squash in a kiddie pool, about 60 gallons of soil. I used a 1/2 cup and the plants were almost N toxic! Blood meal is a potent N source, with both fast acting and slower release properties.


Hey pop, question for ya if I might.
Looking over the soil mix you posted at the start o' this thread and I wondered how 1 teaspoon of blood meal could have much of an impact on the other 5 gallons goodies.

Thankee

Weell I'll be sure to have a bit on hand then. Appreciation and looking to see these plants revived as well!
 
Update:
I think they are looking a bit better. i've been watering them with RO water with 175 ppms of cal/mag and a total ppm of 700 with the House and Garden Soil A and B added. Buds look good though so i'm not worrying. Guess I need to be more careful with the next soil mix!

Well, because of other issues in the growroom, I'm chopping my plants in this tent BEFORE they get spider mites and make the problem worse. And they are close to done anyway 73 days. I chopped the smaller one and will do tho larger plant later today.

Over all she looked good trichromes are about n75-80% milky now so she was close to done. The buds are fat and rock hard! The smell is mild, almost chocolate and berries. Really looking forward to smoking some! I'm going to guess about 15 grams dry. The other plant will probably double that. I'll weight it all up in a few days.
