Im using trichoderma for the first time this run. I must say I do notice a big difference. My roots are all fuzzy and they don't need as much food. I just buy my potting mix or bagged. I do add stuff to it tho....trying to get a good all round mix.
My bike is an RVF 400. She's just had a complete make over. Been up jetted as it's got a quad exhaust system on her now.
My son is 22 and I STILL run round ragged after him lol. When do they grow up :banghead: lol

Not too bad. Got some issues with a pure indica I'm growing. The other strains are fine. Think its N+ leaves are breaking their backs bending over. All part of the learning curve lol. What you got growing ?

Iv just flipped em for flower 10 days ago but no flowers yet. They aren't even showing sex yet. I mean the leaves are literally breaking their spines to fold over. Not just the tip. It started with a clawing tip. It's just one if the three afghani#1 strain I have going. I have 5 other strains doing very well. They haven't been fed as yet except for cal and mag given separately. Mag I foliar sprayed. I have fed the other strains but these have been super dark green since about a week old. The other 2 ain't great bit they are ok compared.
Omg thats a mouthful all them strains lol but they sound good. Sorry I'm a girl I like nice sounding names. I was interested in growing cherry pie...I can just about get that one lol. Any good? So does that mean that the strains you are testing aren't yet available? Sorry if I'm being dumb.
One pic is the rest of some of my grow at about 3 weeks old from seed other 2 are pics of the leaves in question. Sorry they are a bit shit.

I would say,although im no expert,that they have an excess of nitrogen.like you suspected.i have a plant doing the exact same and im just holding back the grow nutes.thats really all i really can do.
yes testers means theyr not available to buy yet and may never be depending on how the strain does in tests.however there are some lets say less than totally reputable seed co,s(i say seed co coz theyr not breeders imo) that release strains while tests are still going or before theyv even happened which defeats the purpose.some seed co,s dont even do tests atall!the point me saying all this is really to point out it wasnt a dumb question.imo a new grower cant ask a dumb question.your trying to learn so asking "dumb questions" is one of the ways we learn.i gotta say though you seem to have atleast a decent understanding of plants.on my first grow id have had no clue what a clawing leaf would mean.infact i wouldnt have thought it meant anything atall!lol.

It's my second grow lol my last one....well it ended up great but god damn what a stress it was. I made sure I educated myself. I want to do the best I can for my ladies. I don't know if you've heard of Mandala seeds but don't go near em. The seeds I have this run off them not only have some kind if virus but the growth is awful. They did get some cal and I think they have took up extra N because of it like they do after cal but just a bit too much. I'm not feeding at the minute and I think some of the new growth is getting better.
Well I'm glad to have that info about seed testing and some co's not testing. Thanks for that.
Have you got a current grow diary up? Iv not bothered this time.
I flipped em about 11 days ago. But they aren't even showing sex on the regular seeds. The fem seeds are tho.

I have FG's. Well I won't have once iv put my BTi on em. It's a N+ prob due to the heavy cal feed I gave. Only this indica has gone like this. If you look at the leaf it's grown kinda sideways it's that bad. No lil claw for me lol. New growth is finally coming thru straight but still a lil bit dark. I'm not feeding at all yet. I changed the soil recipe this time around and I think it's a bit hot for the indica.
You should have snapped a pic of your crawly thing. The stuff iv bought is called snake killer as it kills all worms pillars and maggots. I'm full organic and don't want any chemicals near my grow unless it's desperate times. I hope you get em sorted. It doesn't sound good your losing roots like that.
