amazing buds <3

Finally got the mistakes out of my first coco grow. Ph in balance. Heat just right. Never had a plant pre flower this way that’s not an auto.

Here’s my silver super haze. She’s rebounded drastically. She was so small for the first 4 weeks. Now at 6 weeks she’s. Grown 8 inches and starting to send out secondary shoots. Can’t wait.

That is a fair amount of pre flower!? LOL what strain is it?

Girl Scout cookies. Second time growing it. First time I didn’t get any pre-flowering. It was out side to. Maybe, just maybe she’s up and running 100%. When it was outside it was in my garden in the soil. Could be the nutrient switch, coco just about anything. Hopefully not a auto. That accident made into the seeds I bought.

Now look at her. I think she’s an auto. Full flowering. Kinda sucks, I treated it like a photo. Trimmed, took clones. No wonder why the won’t root. Topped it of. Lots of LST. Look at her just in a few days.

Now next time you hear the bro-science about autos like don't top, don't transplant, don't do this and that you'll know better!

So I'm watching Mike and co. starting their outdoor vegetable Garden indoors

https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/appeasing-the-children.110961/

and it dawned on me that all those tomato seeds I bought I'm probably not going to be able to start?

Was going to start them the first of the month but I have very little promix and I'm not going to Home Depot to get more and I'm not paying Amazon's price for it

so what I'm going to do is up-pot what I have up next this weekend, and then see if theres enuff left

might just freeze them and try next year, hopefully things will be more normal

I think I'm going to get 5, 3 gallon pots from the rest of the promix, I'll make sure I do (I have lots of perlite) LOL

I don't like Pro mix so much, still don't know when it wants to be fed I'm feeding it all the friggin time now, an I have to watch the plants more, I think I like soil better

I've heard good things about doctor Earth but I'm given to jobe's spikes because of the great success I had with that romberry, and job's has a slow-release formula too

I read that threat Spike grow thread earlier when somebody was asking about tomato spikes LOL too much coffee and rambling LOL I'm so fucking bored but I'm not going up to New Hampshire, I'm staying put right here!

Both plants topped, transplanted from solos. Both autos.

Almost forgot the clones, they will be small only around 20 gs dried but I was goin to throw them away! So instead a little root tone and soil, pop em outside for a month so yeah mayb not worthy of tent space but doable

Those look doable for sure! that first one looks like it's going to grow into a hedge!

Nah I appreciate them everyday bro LOL

Here's another one I like in the morning
(I was at this show)

So I'm having problems with this Pro mix

Been running this Indian bubble gum for a while and this is the first time I've had any problem at all with it and it's also the first time it's been in 100% promix (has 30% perlite too)

right now my hydro store is closed and I'm not paying twice the price for a bag of ffof from Amazon

so my next run has to be in what I have on hand, so maybe I'll get a chance to figure it out, but I'm not going to use it going forward

I also have a bag of worm castings and I'm thinking of using:

• 1/3 promix
• 1/3 worm castings
• 1/3 perlite

actually I think that's going to be a better option because it will make it act more like soil, I don't like the way Pro mix acts by itself, I guess I'm just a dirt farmer after all lol

I was thinking of starting a thread to get Pro mix tips but if I'm honest I'm not going to use it after life gets back to.. whatever normal is going forward, so I probably won't do that

The issue I'm seeing is no matter how many times I pour in 1000 PPM nutrients the freaking PPM of the runoff is around 500 and the plants looks calcium starved, and I'm showing what I believe to be calcium deficient mottling mostly on the upper leaves

they're within a couple weeks of being done and they're still holding all their leaves, they're not even yellowing, they're just getting calcium spots

Forgot pics this morning after all the schlepping of those God awful grow bags! that's another thing that's out of my garden believe me but that's a separate rant (I already had that rant a few pages back)

I'll get a few pictures up and maybe somebody will have some other ideas and I'd be glad to hear them, but that's what I'm seeing

1000ppm is quite high in my opinion. And when i see that much nutes absorbed it is a signal that there is too much salt in the medium. Salt attracts salt. And when roots start to get blocked calcium is the first to not make it up.

Is your runoff ph low as well?

thanks for the input, I'm flushing them well, my runoff is always around 500 and the pH is always 6.4-6.6

I'm flushing copious amounts of plain pH water through and then I'm finishing up with a 875 - 1000 PPM feeding

Not seeing any evidence of a salt buildup in my runoff in fact the PPM of a big plant was 475 today, so I'm not exactly sure what the hell is happening to all the nutrients I'm pouring in?

Kind of think the plant is using it and in fact needs more?

although now they're finishing up in a couple weeks I'm going to be bringing ppm down so I'm not going to go higher with this set

Right now I'm feeding nutrients every watering, and every third watering I'm doing a full flush and feed which I never do this often in soil, so that's another thing I don't like I'm not using promix anymore anyway but I am curious

These are fairly large plants, 2 dif strains, both showing the same what I believe to be Calcium deficiency mottling on the upper leaves

Of the last three feedings, 2 were either 875 or 1000 PPM and one was 600 PPM

Every third feeding their flushed well and fed which is what I did today

One plant read 475 and the other red 675 PPM, both pH were perfect

These readings are representative of every reading I've taken from these two plants

So I don't really feel it is a salt buildup and I don't feel that that PPM is excessively High, I commonly work between 800 -875 max, but I've been boosting these to 1000 PPM for the reasons I've mentioned above

Edit: one thing I'm considering is that I may be under watering, I'm not exactly sure how wet promix wants to be but I run a freaking desert in there and I don't think promix likes it as dry as I keep it?

I think the best way to use promix is to amend it like @Jimster does but if I'm going to do all that I'm just going to buy ffof & maybe put a third Pro mix in just for filler like I've done for a year now, but I don't like it at all by itself
