Hello everyone! My plants are doing much better since my last post Thank you to everyone for being so helpful.
I’m back, looking for some more advice. I recently got a 2nd 300w mars hydro light. Currently have both hooked up and set to approx. 60%. I’ve given the plants some Fox Farms Grow Big and a little bit of Cal Mag today. Is there something else they need that I am not thinking of?? I do plan on topping them with fresh soil soon here. Also wondering if I should Defoliate them ASAP or wait a bit. I do plan on flowering them soon. I was just trying to get them a bit bigger first. (especially the Black Widows). Also can someone tell me what’s causing the spotting on the Black Widow? I was thinking it needed Cal-Mag but it’s still there after I’ve given them some so now idk.
The one with the rusty spots with always have them spots on them leaves … just watch the new growth on the tops and see if thoughs look better as they grow…
How long have you been feeding them the grow big?
What is your water type? Well water, city water, ro water? The soil you transplanted to should have enough nutrients in it to last a month and ahalf to 2 months…
I always go to PH on most issues. What’s your input and run off PH Growmie and how often are you watering or feeding? Are you using a drench to drought method for soil?
This is why i asked what water type he is using…
Well water tends to be alittle high sometimes and city water has chlorine in it… ro water tend to drift abit and needs supplemental cal/mag…
But with good soil it should naturally buffer the PH unless like you said the imputed water is way out…
The soil is Hoppy Frog soil, which they were transplanted into about 5 weeks ago (they were struggling before that). I Started giving them the Grow Big about 2 weeks ago. Been giving it took them once a week. My water is just town tap water. I let it sit in an open container for a minimum of 48 hours. Then PH’d to 6.2 - 6.6 with Apera PH Pen. its PH is usually pretty high after the chlorine dissipates.
should i defoliate? been thinking i should probably do that soon here
If photo can go ahead and defol. If auto a tad but wait till they flip to prune. They are a little thick. Some cleaning inside and bottom wont hurt a photo.
You are Gucci sailor. Send it. A little cleanup will make them expand. Inside. Bottom. Keep a solid canopy. Just understand that once you start defoliating photo and are healthy they will explode. Can get pretty big fast.
I do have the big bloom and the tiger bloom also. Just havent used them yet. I didnt know that, thank u very much for the chart. I need to follow it better next grow.
I plan on pruning them today after i get done with errands. Im thinking of giving them some of the big bloom after. They seemed to have perked up since the last feeding ive given them , but still look like theyre missing something. Idk maybe its just me. We’ll see how they look after trimming
