Day 58
Something weird has happened this last week. I haven't changed anything that I've been doing, yet the BB and BBK are definitely upset. The other plants aren't affected as much, but something's up. Fan leaves yellowed up quickly and quite a few were lost. Won't know for sure what's going on til I can water and check the runoff next. Or it could be that the compost is so compacted that it's a watering issue. It's a bummer, but I ain't shook. Just gotta help them finish out. I'm already starting my next grow which will use Sunshine Advanced #4, a soilless medium.
Seriously though, don't trust a sweaty country boy on a tractor when it comes to indoor potting soil. Even if he decides to sell it to you at half price so he doesn't have to put the bag back up (*facepalm*). Dr. Earth Pot O Gold potting soil may be nice for some potted tomatoes outside, but I've had gnats, pH swings, compaction, and nitrogen-thieving woodchips in my experience. This is with either General Organics or Advanced Nutrients in bloom, at reduced strength, every other watering. Very similar to my first try with their Homegrowm mix (guess I believe in second chances).
My order of Root Pouches came in today. 25 x 1gal fabric pots for about $19 shipped on amazon.
And finally, here's what's going on in my neck of the woods.
Got a Tangie and Gigabud going and just popped a Kosher Tangie and Blue OG.
Awesome!
