I run an older model Timber 200W 3500K LED light, and by no means am I an expert - but I received exceptional guidance from the guys at Timber regarding adjusting their light through my first few grows. First off, my ballast is dimmable and I found that in my setup, at my basic skill level, it...

You can't post that photo and not come back to explain how it smoked...

Just wanted to let you all know that based on the comments above, I mixed up a fresh batch at 7:2:1 of Promix, Castings, Pumice. Sent it to Logan and here are the results: I think this gives me a much more balanced base to begin adding goodies. No compost in this mix at all (maybe trace...

Update: Spoke to the lab today, Organic Matter was tested using an alternative method and came out to 33%. Not that this changes everything, but makes more sense based on my inputs.

Thanks for the input. I tried to keep the recipe simple but I might have been heavy handed on the compost and dry amendment mix (along with my Ocean Forest "add-on") as well. I thought it my OM% seemed very low, so I asked the lab to re-run the test because with 20% EWC/Compost on a peat-based...

I recently completed my first organic soil grow and was generally happy with the results. I learned a lot but there were a few times when I ran into deficiencies and found myself guessing at solutions way too often which I think made things worse. I was using pre-mixed soil and wasn't 100% sure...

Good info about the trichomes continuing to "ripen" during drying/cure. I was letting them dry out because I read something on the forums talking about trying to time the harvest date so it lands at the end of a dry cycle. Seems needlessly complicated and won't be doing that again.

Chopped, dried and trimmed. I chopped the plant at day 59. I was letting the pot dry fully between waterings as I neared the end, but I think I might have pushed it too far.. Day 58, plant looked great, but when I woke up on Day 59, all the fan leaves were completely wilted and shriveled. I...

Day 54 - I think we're getting close... About ten days ago I completed a gentle flush (few gallons of plain H2O for the 3 gal pot) and she seems to have stabilized. Leaves are slowly yellowing, which I think is a good thing at this phase, but no additional burnt tips or chlorosis (everything...

Thanks! Learned so much this first grow, mostly to relax and let the plant do it's thing. Looking forward to my next shot at this. Thanks MT. I laughed reading your post (esp. the part about humidity, temperatures, etc. Have you been in my head?) I tried so hard not to react to small changes...

Day 47 - Still learning... went too aggressive on the nutes... Around day 25 I noticed some interveinal chlorosis and light tip burn (wrote about this in my previous posts). Most farmers suggested I was likely seeing a magnesium or calcium deficiency. I was watering with distilled and feeding...

I have to look into one of these units. Let me know if you have one you'd recommend. I'm growing in 3 gallon root-maker pots. I do have houseplants and a little garden, so maybe I should just do five gallons of tea and use it on the garden (and yeah, I also have extra soil laying around that...

Lots of good information in there, thanks for the post. - Agree about the LED keeping the plant compact and bushy. I can't believe how stout this plant grew.. it's incredible. - I'd like to get an RO unit just to eliminate variables but the current location of my grow vice the kitchen sink make...

I didn't mention this in my long post above, but I did foliar at lights out with epsom and noticed greening within 24 hours - that's what tipped me off to try the cal-mag. Thanks!

Day 38 - Great smells, challenging leaves... Good news first: Full-on, extra-strong, GRAPE BUBBLEGUM SMELL is here!! I've read all those grow reports where people describe the smell of their plants as granola, bubble gum, spice, etc. but until now all the weed I've ever touched smelled like...

Agree on the Mag deficiency. Thanks. Will address in my next post. Agree. Thanks for the heads-up! Chronic - I think you're right. I'll talk about the cal and mag issues that I tried to address. Thanks!

Thanks. I'm going to send off a few samples for the K3 test and send you the results with the mix recipes - if you'd like you can add them to the database. P.S. How do you get Cal so high? Ag Cal or Dolomite? Or is it from the EWC/Compost?

Could you share? I'm always wondering what the appropriate levels are...

Bulldog, Do we know the appropriate or optimum levels of those elements for cannabis? Have these levels been established or are we guessing just as much with a report as we are when we just toss a mix together? I've heard that 50% Organic Matter is optimum, then 10%, 5%, etc... L

Day 31 - Bulking up, but yellowing fan leaves mid-plant: Buds seem to be fattening up now that we are four weeks into flower, but the past seven days has seen some significant color changes in my tent. Almost every large fan leaf in the middle of the plant (not the ones on the bottom or very...
