Help needed.... Repeated issues

Can't help but admire the dedication!

Or should I say defacation haha

You've got to see where he lives...... ...there is little to no natural soil...and not a garden centre in sight......

@trailanimal ...I can See the headlines now....this guy on AFN says crap in your plant pots and now when I put the light on in the grow room none of the neighbours complain about the smell of cannabis anymore...........




@Garysmells21 ....get a bag of Seedling compost...grow a plant up to sex with nothing but water.......then look at it to see if it is your water...or all the amendments you are adding.

Yeah good shout... My water is super clean though, probably too clean. It's borderline RO out the tap

Yeah dry amendments can be tricky timing is key might want to look into brewing some teas and feeding those they are available to plant a lot faster.

Have you heard of or tried bio tabs? I can’t get them in the states but have seen other growers here that are overseas use them with great success

Yeah this my first go with them, I think I was a bit slow off the mark with earlier feeds and with the soil so compact not sure the top dress gets in quick... Last feed I did brew into a tea so think I'll do that for the remaining feeds tbh... I'll limp them home as I am so used to doing.. I always get decent meds even when the plants looks sick as fuck, but I'm sure yield is harmed hugely

Yes those tabs are on my list to try.

Weed luvs fast drainage. Mine is 45% drainage. I use perlite and expanded clay balls. In the cloth bags I have to water every 48hrs. I give each girl around a gallon ea time (7 gal bags). @Garysmells21 your girls will go to the finish. Pick the dead leaves off and let them go. I had a lot of experience with organic growing and still had a 2 or 3 year learning curve growing weed. I feel like I still have things to learn about it. This is a great place to gather knowledge.

Yeah man for sure... One thing I have learned is an sickly plant can still produce nice end results... But I'm smaller quantities than one would like!

And of course the grower's psyche suffers. Who want's to stand watch over plants that are suffering. Learning to grow autos is more than just about a plant. Understanding connectivity...

Well, we all gotta do it. On the frontier, out of necessity, resources are used to their fullest potential. Where waste becomes an asset and the 'junk' pile is probably a 'fix' in potential.
