Railing cal mag like coke....lol.... this years motto is Cal mag is the enemy...lol...i got one lady that give me the middle finger if i even show her the bottle let alone give it to her.....J/k ...but i'm really not...all other plants love that stuff but i got one that dont
Every strain is different. Idk after a while the plant "tells" you what it needs the first time around. Then the feeding for that strain becomes second nature. I'm not going to bore you with MORE plant pics for examples. But there is a BIG difference between the first Pineapple Muffin I did and the two that came after it. I've been growing White Widow forever. It's like my danky stanky staple must have a gallon jar of those buds at all times or life ends. It definitely has its unique needs. I don't think there is really a one size fits all nute approach that works. I mix different formulas and have different schedules for all of it. Tons of them have a lot in common, but for a plant to be the best it can be? It's not always the same. My big widow that I'm working on now has the main cola at over a foot long and it is filling in VERY nicely. It's getting DELUGED with cal mag. But that's because it is in a 5 gallon grow bag instead of a 10 gallon. Soil is depleted. And it's WAAAAAAAAY too late to rebag her. So that dirt is more like coco fiber at this point with absolutely no viable nute value. The Pineapple Muffin plants were supposed to be TALL. Yeah bullshit. I've got two 2.5 ft tall indicas that a) auto flowered when they shouldn't have. b) are in 5 gallon bags too BUT their soil is solid. c) weren't topped because of the supposed height I was going to get out of them. I was looking for 4 feet. So the way they are fed is MUCH different than what the widow is getting. But the first PM? Hah! That thing is topped, trained, and just started flowering. But the soil in that bag is probably 50% to 60% as that plant has been vegging for 12 weeks now. So even though it is Pineapple Muffin, its nutrient needs are much different than the single cola, younger PMs. I guess what I'm trying to say is they are ALL different and there are fluctuations within the strain depending on its environment, soil, light.
Ya probly cause i up-potted a couple of days before i started bloom so her natural light feeding tendencies are good for now with the nutrients i have in there already is my guess....but like the little kid in me i just had to give her some with the rest of the ladies thinking hmmm...it's the 3-4th week of flower...shes getting it whether she wants it or not.....i didnt get any real nute burn that i can see but she defoliated herself a little inside the canopy....80% or more was the oldest growth much of which was scarred by mites early on...combined with being damp longer than normal...thats my feeling but everything is magnified with this particular girl... named her Ms Picky....Buds still growing and never stopped so a guy cant complain to much i guess ...i actually like the lighter soils that needed to be watered more frequently but with the hot sun and only a 3.4 gal. pot i added about 30% sand rich quality black light castings aged and fermented with bone meal with a 30% perlite mix so the soil is heavier to counteract the fact that i read the SSH strain prefers a larger pot size to express her full potential....trying my best for perfection in the long run as the more i learn on this site the more i realize it was an Honer to receive the seed stock that i have... came in the mail as a B day presnt last year from a friend who i havent seen in 34 years... he bought the mr nice version as an f1 and worked it for a number of seasons on the west coast to get them where they are F2 and very potent...I'm like a kid with a new toy .... they are capable of growing ...Quote un Quote "Big azz Donkey dick sized buds with potency you never dreamed you could grow" he tells me....i just wont be able to do it in my natural climate without thinking outside the box...also sent me some purple urkles seeds....but my cat ate them seedling..lol little beastard..
Interesting thread. I’m keeping my eye on this. I may have to try this 420!
