Fast Buds Fastbuds Tent Takeover

I need to make up a new pot this week and I'll give that a try.

I tell you I tried it too. I had two plants going Mephisto 24carat. One plant looks great and on day 62. The other plant is not 24 carat and was probably too big for a 3 gal and it ran out of food about day 30. The plant ended up with a lot of nutrient deficiencies. If anything I think that the feeding needs to be figured out better. I am going to use it next run, as well as some plants with green gro and probably Nectar as well.
Trying to get to water only or a little extra here and there. I am running mostly 5 gal pots and 3000ml is needed twice a day on some. It is hard for me in the morning to keep up with it.

wow that's a ton of watering. Thankfully I only have to water mine every other day with 1500ml (1.5L). Any more than that and it all runs out the bottom. I'm only in 3g pots however. I really feel the deficiencies around the first week of flower. It hits like a Semi truck and stops about 1 week later leaving the damaged leaves behind for me to look at the rest of the grow.

The water only style grow is really the dream for me though and I'll keep working it. No more fussing with mixing nutes and if the wife and I want to travel we can just have friends or family pop in every other day and water the plants without worrying about anything getting messed up.

I'm sure you'll figure it out. I've gotten this far on just water and one tea which I'm almost 100% sure I screwed up and did nothing. I do have some purple stems but I'll rebrew with some guano this weekend for that.

I was looking over your grow early today and it looked like you did pretty well with that 1tbs/gal. I was looking over that list of amendments you have at the start of your journal. Is that just what's in the Giagreen or is some of that additional stuff you are putting in ? I was thinking about tryin some of their rock dust to address some of the deficiencies I get hit with at the start of flower that I think might be calcium and mag issues.

I have the rock dust but forgot it and things seem fine with just the top dress besides the purple stems which I'm not sure if it's even phosphorus issues.

That's a list of stuff that apparently is in the bags of soil that my local hydro store mixed together. 3 out of 4 plants have that soil, the 4th I mixed myself and honestly that plant has less deficiencies than the rest so I think its full of crap. All I did was mix organic pro mix, perlite, mushroom compost, worm castings, and the Gaia green stuff and its even been a easier soil to work with. As I said above I'm going to brew another tea this weekend with some guano to try and see if thats my red stem issue. I tried to cut the Gaia green stuff to less than half dose, the YouTube guy that pushes that full dose mostly grows photos it seems and when he did do autos they burnt a bit by the end.

I will admit that the premixed stuff from the hydro store does have potworms in it somehow, but those plants aren't miles ahead of the stuff I mixed for my first time so I'll be tweaking my own for next time.

Started with nectar #4 and pasteurized worm castings and the Gaia. Then have been using photosynthesis plus and Slf100.
I have been using Nectars guano tea and their carbon ( sugar-phosphate product ) in bloom. Been using Cutting edge solutions Mag and Nectar Calcium as needed. Everything has just been a little here and there, besides the basic plain waterings.

Never even heard of half of that but I'd definitely be willing to try them haha

Nectar for the gods nutrient line, #4 is one of their soils SLF 100 is and enzyme product, Photo. plus is a Bacteria, microbes product, like a microbial tea in a bottle. Hard to keep track of everything out there. I have been using the Nectar line and have plants going on that as well. It was easy just to add a little of this or that.

Oh that's interesting, for microbial I was going to try some organic fish fertilizer. Not the fish sh!t stuff but an off brand. I was also planning to add some of that Humboldt secret golden tree I used in my last grow that my plants seemed to like. I'll take a look at that stuff your talking about, maybe I'll try it too.
