Outdoor Season 3: Year of the Widow's Blues Dutch vs Holland growoff photos and autos

the challenge is to get a relatively concentrated source, well chelated in there,... I'd use some humic-fulvics along with whatever you use,.. What does the label say, any breakdown of what's specifically in there at the elemental level? kelp likely has B in it, but how much is what I can't find out,.... as for the other lines, I dunno, I don't have their line-up in my head for what's what,... what I like about the Microblast is it's nothing but micro's, most in sulfate form- ,... so, read up what you can on what you have, and try it,.. No doubt some of those lines have a specialty supp' for micro's,... kelp is likely the best, so go foliar and soil with it! Coat leaf bottoms well especially ( more stomata there than upper surface),... best done when lights-on and active, stomata open and transpiring away,...
dood, your OD auto's,..

Just had a look on the Green Planet site, but they dont show a pic of the back label where all of the usefull info is..grrr...searching around. Of all the companies listed all i see that has potential is the Green Planet ocean grow....will have to get to the shop asap and get some. Unfortuntely lots of nute choices in this area are limited.
I have no idea where i would get boric acid or borax soap??

OH yeah...thanks for the auto compliment bud!! Ain't they beauts! Getting psyched!!

simply amazing colors

20 mule team borax, laundry detergent!

Good luck buddy

....I think I saw a contact lens cleaner at the drug store, basically boric acid,... I see powders too, cheap-$5... borax,... google it mate, boric acid eye wash, and all kinds of stuff comes up,.. likely, some drug store will have some,... my book here says give 1tsp boric acid/gal, same for borax as a soil drench,.. I'd 1/2 that at least for foliar,...

Again thanks bud...i was telling my wife about the Boron def and borax works as a foliar and soil feed...i knew i recognized Borax, as soon as my wife said "oh i have 2 boxes of that in the cubbard!" Hahahaha i am such a stoner!
Getting out there tomorrow morning for a foliar feed...will go a little less than 1/2 tsp per gallon. Wish me luck! Will let you know what happens.

Ahh during research i found a possible culprit...apparently if you use too much LIme in your soil it can deplete boron...possibly the issue??....and the only thing i can come up with why this is the only plant with any nute problems at all, maybe i went a bit heavy on the lime

:smoking: I'm very curious too GS, B defc. is so rare, and what few times (including you) I've felt comfortable even suggesting it, I didn't get feedback on results anyway,... yeah, I saw a couple info bits here and there about how Ca can interfere with B uptake,.. but as a general reference, so who can say how much Ca it takes for that to happen? A distinct possibility though! And the plants themselves can be bitchy,.. I had a Fairybreath last year that went Fe/Zn defc. for weeks, node after node, I barely got older leaves fixed, new stuff always came out symptomatic,... oddly, she grew well enough- - but it wasn't until I used the Transport and MicroBlast together that I finally quelled it!

Well you will certainly get some feedback from me about it!! Starting tomorrow...how often should i apply do you think...is it a good idea to stick with foliar only, or perhaps the first shot be both foliar(1/2tsp per gallon) and soil drench(1tsp per gallon), and see what that does?

Thanks again bud..i am not sure if i would have been able to put it together that it was a boron deficiency.

well, from what I read, B is very immobile, so soil and foliar would be wise,... once it's set in tissues, it's really set i guess! Initial uptake is the only way,... this will give you now and later B availability,.... it is a true micronute, so much isn't needed,... IF it is that! ... it fit best all things considered,.. is it progressing still?

Yes seems to be progressing still but slowly..growth has slowed quite a bit versus the other 3 plants in the same location(inches grown instead of a foot in the last week)
