Nute burn? Organic soil

[Olderfart]

Noting all this for the next run… Sounds like I overestimated what a buildaflower top dress could do. It was more like a 1-2 inch top dress.

Thanks for the insight on buddha bloom. The leaf issue has started to really progress in the last 2-3 days. I will give the buildaflower tea a go since that’s what I have on hand. How much bubbled per gal of water would be a good amount?

Good luck with it mate, sorry I could not be of any help, but it seems you have some stellar advice from the experts.

When you topdress, you really need a mulch to cover it or else it loses its effectiveness drastically from drying out too much.
An additional top dress asap is what ide do. Your less mature plant will benefit the most from it, but the others should too if you let them finish all the way out to lots of amber..Ide probably use 2 cups of the baf in a nylon or paint strainer or something and dump it all on top then cover that with a couple inches of baf and cover THAT with barley straw then just dont let it dry out... when it dries out the microbial life suffers. This has been my personal experience at least

ffof cant go that long in "3 gallon" pots without deficiencies popping up. you would need to add build a flower directly into the ffof with additional aeration and additional top dressings a few weeks in to avoid issues and even then i wouldnt recommend it (3 gallon pots) imo
save yourself some grief .. if your tap water is over 150 ppm, use ro water instead

Dang...I have the same soil and top dress kit on its way and I was planning to just use tap water(ph 7.5/8 180/200ppm) and not ph the water down.I will be using 5 gallon pots.If I may ask in this thread....how much top dress would you mix in with the soil?Now I am curious.Just how long does the top dress take to kick in?I thought a week(?)maybe two.So I thought by maybe week 4-5 maybe 6ish when you might see it needs to be fed you might want to topdress a week/week and a half in advance?

Thanks.Not trying to hijack.

180-200 is workable..just bubble it or let it sit for 24 hours before you use it.. I like to water with organic blackstrap molasses every other watering @ 2tsp to 1 tbsp per gallon. I also like to start adding some powdered seaweed or kelp at week 2 or so. #5 cloth pots are closer to 3.5 gallons and #7 pots are closer to 5.. I like to add around 15 -20% baf and I mix in some lighter mix like roots micro greens to soften/lighten it up and probably some additional aeration. Depends on if im using new soil or something ive recycled a few times (the worms are always producing castings) and what I have on hand at the time lol. When you top dress is sort of dependent on strain.. Usually I like to top dress right before or at the beginning of rapid vegetative growth and again as soon as they enter the preflower/crowning stage.. (and again as many as three more times after that) I do that so I dont get any deficiencies and slowdowns in early flower. Some plants dont get too big so top dressing as early as possible isnt as important in that scenario.

I also like to use craft blend as a top dress occasionally..if need be.

Plants are now around 62 days. I’ve stopped using citric acid as PH down and started feeding with 5-10-10 nutes. Two plants seem to be pulling through on the final stretch, but one is looking really bad… any idea what’s happening?

Let them go as far as you can. When the leaf issues start getting into the bud leaves, its time to consider the chop. All of them are going to be decent for sure. Looks like some fade along with some previous deficiency / ph issues that will always be present anyways after youve had problems.

GL! Lots of buds!!

My last grow looked alot like that as well,and hopefully you figure it out. Dont worry too much, I did what Tom said above and still ended up with some pretty good flower.

An update on these plants at day 83. One of them suffered much worse. Looks like I’ll have to chop it early when the other two are ready. Probably within the week!

Lots of lessons learned on this first grow…

Oh, I'd say you have managed to pull quite a nice harvest of great looking bud. Sometimes the girls produce even when they look pretty sad. Now how would I know that?

Looks like a lockout to me. Over fertilised. This is a real bastard to deal with in soil.
