New Grower Finally after 5 year of waiting, decided it's time for a new Grow.

Hey m8.. just found your thread.. probably not for the first time lol anyway.. subbed.. what size pots and how much are you feeding how often?? My first thought is they are a wee bit overwatered. I seen a post where you said about feeding half then half later (sorry if i resd that wrong).. depending how much later that could be the issue imo.. I'd buck the whole lot in in one go. Plants look great other than a little sluggish atm.
Hi hope2grow, 2 are in 8 litre pots and 2 are in 3.8 litre pots. They are on a water, water, water, feed schedule, what do you think?
I think I might up this on the Godzilla Cookies as she is pale and slow in growing, also do you mean to water in one go?
Thanks for stopping by :d5:
 
Order yourself some Boom Boom Spray and the PK Booster Compost Tee. You don't need much of both, but they will make sure the buds swell up nicely :thumbsup:
And, please tag me when you start your very own BioTabs thread brother :cheers:
I think I'm going to leave the PK booster Compost Tea time as it seems too much of a hassle, and quite expensive to set up as I need a pump and air stone combo. Do you think I'll regret this?
:yeahthat: and tag me too please !
Next grow I too will use their PK Booster Compost Tea, and yes the boomboom spray is spectacular.
I also use it on other plants with great benefit ^^
Thanks snerval, I'll get the Boom Boom spray then :d5:

I feed every time in soil m8 although your girls look healthy enough other than a bit of an issue with 1?

I meant how often are you feeding them.. and how much liquid per feed.. from the possible overwatering standpoint.. your 3.8L pots will take about 1L/1.5L to get run off I guess and your 8Ls maybe 2L maybe a bit more? So I would guess that your smaller pots would dry out in around a day and a half/2 days at the minute.. and your 8Ls I would expect to go 2/3 days between feedings to dry out a bit?? What sort of schedule are they on that way?
 
Yeah, I know. You do need an airpump and who am I to say where you need to spend your money on, but you only need to buy the pump once. ;)
The PK Booster Compost Tee is not only a feed, but it also contains loads of beneficial bacteria which make the P&K more available. Which after you treated the plants with the Boom Boom Spray is very welcome as the plants will go in overdrive...And we all want big buds :cheers: :)

Hi hope, you were bang on with the number of days for watering.
It's difficult to gauge how much liquid per feed, as i 1/2 all measurements and then have to dilute it further by adding 3 litres of water to get my EC in range .eg. On the feed schedule they say 3ml of grow on week 3 per litre which I half and then I dilute by 3 times, which give me an EC of around 0.85, they are getting fed once per week as of now, only one plant looks dodgy, but not burnt. The other 3 look OK, though 1 has a couple of spots coming through and 1 dodgy leaf :crying:
I think the last plants I grew, got burnt with feed as I was using a cheap EC meter, which gave wrong readings.
The smoke was terrible, no flavour and no effect, don't want the same to happen this time.
Thanks for showing an interest mate, it means a lot and :cheers:

I'll look into it Bob, you seem to be convincing me :crying:

Told you, you'd convince me, no I've gone and done it pump, airstones and lines ordered along with PK booster Compost Tea and Boom Boom Spray £159 roughly for the lot :coffee:

What's your tap water EC m8? Assuming you are using water out the tap of course? What nutes are u using? Do u mix in large batches? Sorry for all the questions just looking for anything obvious that might be causing their little period of sadness!

I hate spending doe on grow stuff lol but when I think of the rewards at the end it's always well worth it.. not sure the better half agrees :thumbsup: :naughtystep:

Plant Magic range.
Grow, bloom, PK booster, catalyst, a seaweed extract. magnesium and root stimulant. Not all at once mind.
EC of tap water is 0.345 or something similar, around that.
I don't mix in batches as they don't seem to need feeding all at once.
