I have the nutes I need now.

Could use some Bat Guano though, for a nitrogen boost later.

I have Dr Earth Pump and Grow 1-1-1
Dr Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4
Eb organics sure start 4-6-2
Purpinator 0-2-4
Superthrive 0.5-0-0

I will be adding 1/4 strength of the normal dry fertilizer Saturday.

I added liquid fertilizer at 1/4 strength the other day, I am noticing a little new green growth just today.

Today she was finally dry to the touch and in the soil 2 inches down, so I gave her a tiny amount of water.

Dr earth pump and grow mode despite having the best all purpose npk ratio for a plant in veg within your nutrients has a very random mode of application.
"two pump then water" make that the ratio of nutrient given is in no way correlated with the amount of water you give ...

3-9-4
4-6-2
0-2-4 are more npk ratio for flower than for veg ...

you don't have really anything for veg higher in N... may be you could use eb organics in veg even if not the best ...

 

[HerbalEdu]

you did not really answered the question about how/where you source your soil and nutrient?

i really think there is some better option outhere

I'm going to buy some bat guano next month. The sure start is just for the beginning of the plants as it has Magnesium, calcium, beneficial microbes etc.

On my last girl I used EB Organics throughout the life of the plant and it did pretty good but definitely going to get some bat guano

I get most of my stuff from Amazon but I've gotten a few things at Lowe's.

seem to me like your messing a lot of things regarding what the plant need for each stage of growth.

i would be curious to hear the story behind how you come with that nutrient mix.

basically in veg plant need more N then in flowering it need more PK

eb organics sure start has a npk ratio more for flowering than for veg but could still be used in veg.
it combine well with purpinator to give an equal ratio of higher PK than N in flowering

flower girl is more for flowering rather equivalent for flowering than eb organics. but not real good for veg too high in P related to N

 

[HerbalEdu]

with amazon or growshop on line or nearby there's some better option available for soil next time.

actually you miss some nutrient dedicated for veg.

and well bat guano come with different npk ratio, so that might depend...

that would be good for veg, and giving some extra N along flowering if the plant need.

 

[HerbalEdu]

I'm going to buy some bat guano next month

it's more in veg or in the early stage with a not enriched soil, now and next weeks that the plant would need it, not next month.

 

[HerbalEdu]

and well, actually i have that feeling that your using and mixing different nutrients without really knowing and understanding what the plant need for each stage of growth.

On my last girl I used EB Organics throughout the life of the plant and it did pretty good

as i explained eb organics has a npk ratio close enough to all purpose for being suitable for the whole plant life cycle even if being more suitable for flowering than veg. Also has other beneficial things for the plants.

dr earth pump is garbage to me due to it's mode of application i just wouldn't use

eb organics and dr earth flower girl are rather the same for flowering there's no need to mix the two.

purpinator is some kind of booster that supposedly help plant expressing colour, with little PK, not something i would use either

and bat guano is something you usually use when building soil or top dressing later to bring specifically some N, doesn't have anything else in it but litlle PK so you usually use it along side others things to bring the others nutrient and beneficial things the plant need.
there is some others option for bringing enough N along side other nutrients and beneficial things.

both down to earth or doctor earth have a large range of products and are widely used per cannabis grower

if you have easily access to those nutrients a good idea would be to start a thread asking what products from them people use commonly for each stage of growth.

using few products from one or the other brand should be enough with eventually very few additive and booster (superthrive, purpinator)
there's no real need mixing the two brand and for exemple dr earth also have some 7-3-1 bat guano.

aside the theory i m personnally not familiar with such dry amendment products we don't have much equivalent in the EU

some of their products may be prefered for building soil before starting the grow and some other prefered to top feed along the grow.

Actually my neighbor watered the plant while I was gone. I gave her a specific schedule to water.

You are right though, I've been over watering again.

This is only my second time growing.

I need to study what I'm doing and see what amounts of water works best and how often to water.

You should look into sub irrigated planters.
You water through a tube that goes straight to the bottom of the pot, theres a water line with a drain hole to prevent overwatering. I’m sure you could find some info online if you are interested, might be a small version for seedlings too.

 

[HerbalEdu]

there is some others option for bringing enough N along side other nutrients and beneficial things....

... with a single product.

some of their products may be prefered for building soil before starting the grow and some other prefered to top feed along the grow...

... and some of their products are more designed to adjust each single nutrient and beneficial thing while some other of their products are more all in one depending growing stage and kind of plant.

Well since my plant is stunted
I have to adjust my feeding schedule.

Was going to start with liquid fertilizer one week, dry the next.

I'll be using the Sure Start for just a few weeks of growth, it's designed to help get a plant going.

Then I'll use Bat Guano 7-3-1 one week then, next week

A combination of Liquid Gold 1-1-1
Purpinator 0-2-4

Alternating between nutrient types each week will be more beneficial to the plant.

Dr. Earth recommends a schedule and I'm only slightly modyfing it, adding the bat guano.

I thought about buying 4--4-4 Dr Earth and I EVENTUALLY will when I run out of the 4-6-2 formula.

We'll see how this all turns out.

I've never used Purpinator before, that's an experiment to see how well it can increase Terpenes and color profile which it claims it can do and others have used it on purple buds.

Definitely have taken all your advice and suggestions to heart.

Won't be using dr Earth Bloom food till much much later.

The Dr Earth Pump and Grow actually has a water based formula on the bottle, so I use that when measuring and mixing the liquid based nutrients.

It's in smaller print but it's there.

 

[HerbalEdu]

Alternating between nutrient types each week will be more beneficial to the plant.

( not really, what's more beneficial for the plant is to bring nutrients in proper npk ratio and amount when they are effectively needed.)

DAY 25

SUSIE HAS COME BACK TO LIFE!

She's very yellow, , but the green growth in the middle is a good sign.

She may yet thrive!

 

[HerbalEdu]

SUSIE HAS COME BACK TO LIFE!

sorry to say this but actually she's more getting worse than recovering.

She's very yellow, , but the green growth in the middle is a good sign.

yeah she losing her green,

yellowing bottom to top is usually a sign of N deficiency, but that could also be a few others things like unproper ph or unproper watering pratice i think.

might be a mix of both also ...

She may yet thrive!

good article on the topic could be a few things.

you're the only one knowing what you've been doing exactly with your plant so reading it should help you diagnose your issue(s) more precisely.

DAY 26

I have given Susie 1/2 strength of normal of the dry fertilizer Sure Start 4-6-2

This is the 1st time I've used IT on this plant in this stage so we will see.

Also gave her 1 cup of water 6.3 pH

Additionally I decided to give her Superthrive and Purpinator and Liquid Gold, because she needs more readily available nutrients.

Not going to water at all for a few days.

Praying for progress.
