This is the 1 sold by me
Not cut like most of the shit on the market.
I'll be watering with it tonight if u want I can record it? I wouldn't steal u wrong tho
It helps w photosynthesis by the waxy protective layer.

Thanks!!
I’ll look into that oil

We’ll maybe they’ll stay right where they are I thought fox farm was top of the line when I first started this endeavor, now the more I read the less it seems people love it. Seems to sound hot and they’re schedule has you feeding EVERYTHING like a lot of nutrients. Next grow I think I’ll go more towards a living soil plus it’ll be indoors. For now I’m just TRYING to get through this learning more everyday.
I gave everyone a half feeding of grow big today and 2/3 feeding of cal mag we’ll see what they look like tomorrow and the next couple days.
Worried they’re over fed instead of under fed
Wondering if some sort of bug comes at night and is getting after these girls would have to be something that likes young new fresh growth but leaves when the sun comes up

Dnt get me wrong bro fox farm works.
I like the grow big especially. I noticed tons of salts when I was using it tho.
I used the whole line & it just didn't seem like the plants where at their best. As I started to switch through the nutes on their program just tons more salt on the pots. Thick build up on plastic 5gals.
Suspect manganese issue,
And no cal mag in their line up eithr.
There are some really good trial kits available just have to find 1 that fits ur needs. You want to follow a complete schedule tho. Additives too!!!
Mainly why I went with humboldt county full line this year. I use the hell outta their additives, Snow Storm Ultra %100 of the grow

If ya want reliable and easy - promix mix HP soil and botanicare pure blend pro grow and possibly calmag depending on your water source . Super simple once dialed in

You add to your nutes? Or foliage spray? Curious how late into flower you use it - I personally dislike the stuff . Convince otherwise?

 

[SmokinJo421]

Is that all your feeding with?
You can water the plant w neem in flower
Only foliar during veg
I use it as an all natural preventative
1night
Snow storm 1night
Calmag 1 night
Another preventative w 2 dif Castille soaps peppermint & tea tree, %70 alch & %1peroxide 1 night preventative I'm
I'm feeding w
Humboldt county's own full line

Nice job popping the seeds.
Don't water daily.
Wait till pot feels lite and is dry.
Seedlings do not need any light over 50% if it is a decent light .
Don't worry about spot on first leave, it will not matter soon.
What soil are you in and be careful mixing coco with soil..
What light are you using ?

hey could you explain what you mean by “be careful mixing coco with soil” ? , I grow in special mix , I think it’s mostly peat, but I’ve picked up some coco coir and was planning to add it to my mix on my next run, I’ve never used it before so would appreciate any advice.

Growers choice in my humble opinion is not a good bank, in fact they sold me trash then replaced it with more trash so I never recommend this bank, cheap seeds don't make good plants, if your growing autoflowers you just made your first mistake you do not transplant them, so they sent me blueberry autoflowers and again something is wrong with the batch, first one refused to flower plant was large and by cutting the cycle was able to induce flowering, then I'm now running another, no were near as large and again no flower, however it is clearly female so now I have to cut the cycle again with no garente plant will ever flower. Go to a reputable breeder or bank, DC seed exchange, if growing autoflowers I would urge you to try Methisto Genetics open every Monday at 3pm est make shure your logged in bc they sell out in minutes, Sin City seeds, Cali Conection, Mass Medical, Nirvana and Original are good places to start, never skimp on your medium or your Genetics, a tip only run one strain at a time to save aggravation, Pic growers choice blueberry autoflower that won't flower, hope you have better luck.

You're right Ed, can't skimp on the seed or the media or nothing good will happen.

I just re read & realized you sell nutes?
And they "your own"?
I'm trying to steer sum of these news guys into using complete programs. I really think the whole "organic " growing is adding too much water to an already muddy puddle.
And scaring these guys from wanting to put "stuff " in their plants.
If I could make a suggestion to you about the neem oil that may change your mind?
Only using "pure neem" too
Use it on 1 plant to water with as directed.
For a comparison to 1 that didn't get it.
I think you'll like the results. Nice waxy protective layer that helps take in the light w no burn.

I forgot to mention
"Ket to life"
I really really like what I'm seeing from the CO. I have not used it myself

I do not sell nutes yet they will not be my own and the farm will be the first to know

Oil on leaves clogs stomatas shut and and that can actually reduce carbon fixation

How could you or would u tell?

 

[N1ghtL1ght]

How could you or would u tell?

non-emulsified oil is highly hydrophobic but creates bubbles and still sticks to leaves. if it covers a stomata which is so small you can't see it with the eyes, there's no more water vapour flow through possible.

there are products like Biobizz Leafcoat that state the waxy layer won't hinder that, but it's not pure oil in this product

Update:
Girls are getting to be a lot Hahaha they’re drinking sooooooo much. Every other day they’re getting at least 5 gallons.
Noticed a little purpling on one plant in a few spots so everyone got a tablespoon of epsom salt in a gallon of water yesterday. They’re getting a tablespoon of calmag and 5 teaspoons of grow big right now though all the plants have a few internal fan leaves (pictures below) I THINK are showing nitrogen deficiency, thoughts? Maybe I need to up my feeding?
The first two pictures are one day apart you can see the yellow progressing

looks like going through a stretch so she needs a bit more nitrogen..
