New to ilgm, first grow advice?

And for nutrients, I see you are already using earth juice product and I have a suggestion (I do not use it, however i’m considering to try it) and here it is :

Or this one that @MacGyverStoner suggest me :

Hoping that’s helping you @Legalinmaine :innocent:

-50-30! I can’t be giving mine enough food… people use high concentration nutrients like that all the time and the plants thrive. I’m using a tenth of that thinking I could be over feeding. Unless I’m not reading the levels correctly.

How it looks today…

This is what concerns me the most. What are the most common deficiencies that would cause deformed growth and reddish new growth? I’ve read boron, iron, phosphorus, molybdenum, calcium, mg…basically a bunch of different things with the same symptoms. One key giveaway might be every time I added an LED, the reddish purple new growth appeared. I assume that would be due to the increase in light-making the plant grow faster and use up the nutes that are/were present, and I’m not replacing whatever it is fast enough.

Lol :grinning: you are reading well, it say on the amazon page that you have to be aware that a little goes a long way :relaxed: so, of course you have to be careful with this lol… You know, you’re under feeding them and it’s just a suggestion… I will agree with you and give full strength of the nutrients you have already seem to me the best way to begin with and see afterwards where it’s lead you with your babies :wink::innocent::+1::ok_hand::v:

Thanks! Someone said the tip yellowing could be a sign of deficiency… is that true? I though that was nute burn…?

Yellow leaf tips are over fertilization @Legalinmaine

So how can I have deficiency too? And I’ve always under fed them. Ya know? Water and soil is 6.5… I think I’m so close to a monster harvest but I know the plants not 100% yet.
I just need to figure this out, fast

A quarter to half strength seem to me that you’re under feeding them espacelly during flowering and without a running off reading , however I could be wrong @Majiktoker gone a be more specific and accurate then me :innocent:

I’m gone a step back on that one @Majiktoker because I realise that I bring more confusion then help :wink: :innocent: :v:Sorry to both of you :innocent:

In flower you should be feeding with a higher pk ratio some thing like 10-15-15, or 9-58-10 the further you get in flower your plant is going to need more phosphorus and potassium. Potassium will help there buds swell. In soil plants tend to run out supply of potassium within the soil first, therefore adding a little extra potassium in soil grows is a good thing

Ok thanks :+1:
Do you think I should use that earth juice for now as the concentration is so low? Like extra strong dose or even higher until I get a flower specific nutrient?

I can’t believe the replies from everyone! I’ve been on Grasscity for a while and I don’t get much help at all over there…I don’t have anyone locally that I can ask for help so thanks guys!

In my honnest opinion just give regular full strength dilution of what you have until you have specific nutrients for flowering and you should be fine until then, do not push over recommand dilution of your nutrients otherwise you risk causing other problems .:innocent::v:

Yea its my pleasure…personally im not going to recommend doing so, id get flower nutrients ASAP, if youd like to try it and see if it helps keep me updated, but again im not gonna recommend doing so buddy and that’s cause ilgm is 100x better than grasscity and people are far more friendly I haven’t been to that site since I found this one

Welcome to ILGM @Legalinmaine and best wishes on your monster grow from MA and a frequent visitor to the pine cone state. There is even a page on here about Maine politics and I’m pretty sure there are quite a few Mainer’s on the site

Thanks! I was reading up on the law last night. Someone told me that everyone needed to register and get a permit or license to grow, not just the medical growers, but also for personal growers that aren’t going to sell to dispensaries.
I didn’t see where’s it said that.
I’d also heard everyone that grew needed to sell the harvest to a dispensary, which I thought was crazy. So I’m assuming that was just a bad rumor because I saw no mention of that in the law either.

One surprising thing is if you grow outside on your property it has to be covered so it’s not visible from above. You have to tag the plant/s with your license number too. So maybe you do have to register to grow so the state gets money from permits. Idk, I’ll have to do more reading, maybe… I’m not to concerned.

I have found the best is to go and search for the term new Maine Marijuana laws. I would imagine all of the law verbatim should be published online by tomorrow I would think?

I did the same when MA went legal. Our law has some quirks in it. Grow areas have to be secured to prevent unauthorized access. Have to be hidden from view from the street and a few others.

I am doing some planning for the warmer months, some lattice and a padlock for the gate to my yard, which is a real pain in the butt. I think I’m only going to grow a few plants outdoors and keep an indoor grow going as in the long run it is easier to comply with the law.

Progress in the right direction for sure. I guess we will have a little race between us to see who opens the first over the counter pot sales store.

Bob31 Not sure how I quote yet, but I think the governor is going to push ours back(retail sale stores) so I’ll bet MA(where I was born) wins the race. If I can grow a couple plants legally I’m happy, and I think we can grow have 6 adult and a bunch of little ones. :+1:

Yeah it’s crazy. I’m thinking it will work out in the long run anyway.

To quote you just highlight the post you want to quote by pressing and holding mouse or pad or whatever then release and press reply.

To tag someone so it notifys them of your response just add the @ sign before their handle like @Legalinmaine

I’m happy here. Legal growing is pretty cool. Never thought I’d see the day…
