Follow up with my last post

So on my last post I mentioned how much big bloom I put in my gallon of water. I was told by some helpful people on here to half that.

For better calcification, the big plant sprouted some time at the end of April towards beginning of May, the small plant sprouted mid May. They have been in compacted soil so I transplanted both plants. Big girl was transplanted in same container just new soil (foxfarms happy frog). The younger plant was transplanted this morning into a 1 gallon pot. We also used the happy frog soil. So many people and different research have said different things on how to feed in the veg state.

Since this is considered my first week of feeding for both plants, should I do 3 teaspoons per gallon or 4

With that soil… You won’t need to feed for weeks… If you transplant again… Extend that.

You may not need nutes yet… They look good.

Have you tested the runoff for ppms?

I switched from fox farms to Jack’s 321 nutes… Here’s my custom schedule… I really didn’t need the first four weeks of nutes… I vegged for 8 weeks transplanting multiple times until reaching 7 gallon fabric pots… Usually started adding nutes about flowering time. I use Roots Organics Original soil. Great stuff.

The Tribus as well as reCharge were used on light water only days… About 2 cups around the plant base…helps the plants take in nutes.

Do not use the bottom three boosters… You will most likely get nute lockout and chase issues.

Also don’t use their flush liquid… No flushing necessary unless you’ve got salt build up or nute lockout. Plus there’s debate on how to correctly use it… People including myself… Get different answers from different people at Fox Farms Customer service.

I concur my man. I concur. The soil should be set to feed for a few weeks. So any transplant adds more time to ‘water only’. I also love the microbes mentioned. Not sure how well they vibe with FF nutrients but if you use it consistently, it’ll work til they die, then reapply :joy:.

This is the way…. I give a ton of advice about but no experience using the FF trio with my own hands. I think I used it on veggies or something back in the day but definitely not to grow pot. One thing I’ve seen often is the need to flush with it. Maybe not 3 times a grow like the schedule but at least once or twice… but again get those different answers. If it works, by all means keep it working!

No, I haven’t tested the runoff yet. To be honest I don’t know how too yet, I’m learning as I go!

I’m not gonna sit here and act like I know a lot about cannabis, I just have a green thumb. I’ve grown before and I let them do their thing, and it truned out well. At the time I was living somewhere that had great soil straight from the ground, granted I sprinkled 13-13-13 around the outside of the plant. I started my girls the same way here where I’m at now. The soil here seemed like the soil back home… I was wrong, it would become compact moist dirt after watering. So now I definitely see what people mean by these plants are so picky

I mean she looks healthy. No glaring issues. They are picky, but they are also a weed. Toss some seeds out a window and you may grow some weed without looking. Now growing some good meds? That’s were it gets tougher, but it’s only as tough as you make it.

Thank you Man! I’m so glad to hear they look great. My bigger plants have some brownish discoloring to the to biggest shade leaves.

Thought it was root rot
Nope roots were white

Thought it was nutrition burn
It wasn’t that either

Maybe it was from root bound or the heat waves we’ve had here.

Think I saw that earlier n set it to watch… it looked like magnesium deficiency just from the inside working out? Like yellowing boxes that die?

Drop the pics. I’m still awake and here now :rofl:

Yea no idea. Could be the heat tho. Not what I was thinking about seeing earlier tho

It was worse a week or so ago on the lower shade leaves but I pruned them because of lack of light on lower branches. My wife an I thought it also could have been over watered, the plants didn’t wilt or anything and like I said roots were fine

The big plant is not flowering yet but correct me if I’m wrong but is this early signs of female preflower

@PurpNGold74 there ya go! I had to wait 16 hours lol to reply
