    Buffering coir in nutrient solution?

    So I'm going to be starting my first grow in coco coir using Canna Coco A + B. I'm using a cheap coco coir brand and I have read the need to wash and buffer prior to use. I understand most people use a solution of Calmag. I don't have any Calmag at my disposal, so I was wondering if soaking...

    Deficiency, watering issue or other?

    Thanks guys. Yesterday I watered 1.5L with a sprinkle of sodium carbonate to raise the pH to 7.1, also some Epsom salt and Molasses. I also topdressed with 444 and aragonite sand. She's perked right up and had a growth spurt overnight! Hurrah. But now the new leaf edges look light burnt...

    Deficiency, watering issue or other?

    My soil pH is at 5.5. I will try to raise at the next watering in a day or 2

    Deficiency, watering issue or other?

    Ahh, would it be a good idea to transplant her into a new mix with coco coir rather than the peatmoss? I am doing a soil pH test now and will follow up with the result. Yes 500ml only twice, the soil seems to retain alot of moisture. Its an 11L fabric pot. No dolomite lime, and added a very...

    Deficiency, watering issue or other?

    1:1:1 peatmoss, compost and perlite with Dr Forest 444 and 284. I've not had runoff to try prevent overwatering at this stage. No additional fertilisers used so far. I have soft water <30ppm, and I use some Epsom Salt as I've read its hard to over do it?

    Deficiency, watering issue or other?

    I'm on day 29 with this photoperiod Gorilla Zkittlez and these issues seem to be getting worse each day. Planted in a soil substrate with dry ammendments, watered with dechlorinated tap water with Epsom Salt. I've watered her twice, 500ml once the soil is dry to 2 inches below the surface...

    3rd time is the charm? No.

    I didn't do any flushes on the soil, but being organic I figured reusing would actually be beneficial with the established mycosphere. I have just purchased a soil pH test kit so when I get round to that I'll update with the results! With autos I like the idea of running several grows in...

    3rd time is the charm? No.

    Setup is as follows 50x50x100cm Grow Tent 120w Samsung LM301b LED Quantum Board 11L fabric pot. Soil has been recycled from the Lemon Haze run, which consists of 1/3 compost, 1/3 peatmoss, 1/3 perlite, 6tbsp 4-4-4 Veg and 6tbsp 2-8-4 bloom organic fertiliser. The largest chunks removed and...

    3rd time is the charm? No.

    My first grow, Silver Leaf's Lemon Haze Auto, produced airy yet potent bud. My second grow, Dr Ray's Northern Lights Auto, is currently on day 43 and is on the verge of failure; but is developing denser buds than my first run. And now it's time for my 3rd run, Silver Leaf's Blueberry...

    Day 38 Northern Lights Autoflower yellowing leaves and brown spots

    Update: She is completely yellow I'm now questioning if she is really over watered, or of I have a poor watering technique. I'm going to try and raise the pot off the floor to allow better aeration of the root zone and faster drying of the deep medium. When watering I've never even seen...

    Day 38 Northern Lights Autoflower yellowing leaves and brown spots

    Soil moisture is at 8% and she is looking much perkier but is really lacking. I'm not sure what. Currently I'm brewing a compost tea to just bomb her with nutes and hope it fixes the problem once she's ready for it. The brown spots seem to have resided, however she is developing really...

    Day 38 Northern Lights Autoflower yellowing leaves and brown spots

    This Northern Lights Auto from Silver Leaf is on day 38 and its giving me a headache. I noticed Calmag deficiencies early on in the grow and have been trying to combat this by giving Epsom Salt with every watering, along with Molasses as standard. This seemed to temporarily resolve the issue at...

    Early deficiency? Yellow tips and patches

    It was an earthy smell, I've cleaned the airfilter and it's gone Yeah I can go overboard with the monitoring, it spills over from other hobbies. Being a new grower I'm making alot of mistakes and I've gone crazy with the monitoring That sounds like a crazy story with your friend! Day 38...

    Early deficiency? Yellow tips and patches

    The chart looks very useful, is this for hydro grows? Your girls look to be thriving! Good job. There's so much conflicting information regards defoliation, I think I'm going to tuck as many as I can and avoid pissing her off - she has had enough stress from me. I'm using a digital soil...

    Early deficiency? Yellow tips and patches

    On their page it says up to 3 teaspoons (15ml) per gallon (3.7L). Is this a molasses type product? What I'm currently doing is adding 1/6th tbsp per 500ml watering (currently every 2 days), with also tbsp. 2-8-4, 4-4-4, a dash of mycorrhiza. Seems to be working okay at this point, although the...

    Early deficiency? Yellow tips and patches

    I was kinda hoping nobody would suggest that. I've wanted to be that guy "I don't ph my water and look at my yield". I note that my last water, when I over watered, I used molasses. After watering I noticed this yellowing. I hear molasses with Sulphur can lower the ph of the water, and mine...

    Early deficiency? Yellow tips and patches

    Day 25 and flowering has begun. I have truly abused her after the DIY prefilter for the extraction system clogged for 3 days, with me desperately trying to adjust the temperature and humidity of a sealed environment. She saw temperatures of 22c and 37c with the relative humidity ranging between...

    Early deficiency? Yellow tips and patches

    Thanks for the thought, I hope it is slightly hot soil and not something more sinister. She doesn't seem too bothered by it anyway
