I use gaia sometimes too, but it's a fraction of the total process, there are a ton of equal or better replacements for it as well. Its an amendment mix with proprietary amounts. Most people on the farm grow straightGAIA GREEN VEG & BLOOM
That is a super outdated bookDON'T USE OCEAN FORREST, ITS TO HOT, ORDER MARIJUANA GROW BIBLE
Very sound advice, we all have a million pictures of our different growsWelcome to the cannabis internet.There will always be competing opinions. My advice is to find people who are growing gardens you'd want, and listen to them.
There are a lot of ways to grow. Everything can work. It's just a matter of using each tool or resource correctly. I've grown a whole lot of really nice bud in Ocean Forest. Do I pop seeds in it? No. It's hotter than I like for that. But it works great for late veg and flower.
Sorry I was mostly responding to Wonka, didn't meant to confuse you. If you start a grow thread on here people will help you get set up . Don't plant a new seed right away, figure things out, have a thread going and then restart once you fewl confident. It will do wonders for your growingI'm sorry, I read it all I just don't understand. Organic vs salt? I have no idea what that means? I just put the ocean forest fox farm soil in the pots and sprayed with fertilizer. Obviously, this is way more complex than I understand. Thanks for the input!!
This sort of Info is why you need a grow thread my friend. This is very well said saint1Fox Farm Ocean Forest is "hotter" than Fox Farm Happy Frog. I have used Both with great success. On both of them - I never feed until at least week 4-5 maybe into week 6 depending on strain and when I'm looking to flip. They both have enough Nutrients (supplements) to last that long. THEN you can add (insert Nute Brand Here) whatever line you want to use but do it very sparingly until to SEE and figure out how it affects your plants. New growers haven't learned to "read" the plants... trial and error as well.....is a great way to learn.... look at what you have going on now... do things different as it didn't work. In the beginning, do things... simple/basic for the first few grows.. once you get the feel of farming.... sky HIGH, pun intended.... have fun - there are ALOT of great people here with LOADS of experience. LESS IS MORE. period.

Organic and salt describe different methods of feeding plants.I'm sorry, I read it all I just don't understand. Organic vs salt? I have no idea what that means? I just put the ocean forest fox farm soil in the pots and sprayed with fertilizer. Obviously, this is way more complex than I understand. Thanks for the input!!
I only skimmed the thread, but I think I know how this dilemma happens. People just have different purposes and intents. I like to save plants when I can because I consider it a way to learn and discover what went wrong. It can take a long time, though. I once grew two plants for almost a year. It was a long time, but I learned a lot and the weed turned out to be my wife's all-time favorite. I call that a win.I just don't understand the difference in opinions here. Some people say to keep going and I can save them, others are saying to trash! So confused!! Thank you for your input though!!
not saying other problems are not present ie. overwatering and overfeeding but this is what pulled the trigger imo. i had almost identical burn from essential oil sprays when i first started growing. never again.I also sprayed them with a neem, mint essential oil pesticide in case of mites.
Thank you! Won't apply that again!! Appreciate the helpful tip!!not saying other problems are not present ie. overwatering and overfeeding but this is what pulled the trigger imo. i had almost identical burn from essential oil sprays when i first started growing. never again.
the oil just clogs the stomata and burns the plants to a crisp. it will only get better with the new growth assuming you will correct your watering and feeding habits.
Thank you!! Love your comment!! I agree. Several people said kill it and I just don't garden like that.Welcome to the cannabis internet.There will always be competing opinions. My advice is to find people who are growing gardens you'd want, and listen to them.
Thank you so much!!I feel like it was probably a watering issue. Roots just haven’t been able to search deep and the nutrients have been piling on the top of few inches of soil.
Hope you can fix them, and good luck!! Maybe even consider heavily topping the plants, transplanting into slightly larger pots that are uniform in size. Then hydrate the soil evenly just outside where the transplanted soil meets the new soil.
It might allow the plants to grow/heal, shifting more energy into repairing and allowing you to possible even out the canopy, keep the plants, and have them just veg out longer. I usually water feed every 3-4 days, close to 4 litres of water in a five gallon pot at my current stage.
My tip, but I’m a beginner grower, would be to heavily top though. Cut the plants down to 5 or 6 nodes, and have them just heal up. Might be a good option. Not sure though, fingers crossed
Thank you!! Do you mind explaining what too hot means for the soil? I've seen that a couple of times and don't know what that means? Is it a high ph? Thank you!!There are a lot of ways to grow. Everything can work. It's just a matter of using each tool or resource correctly. I've grown a whole lot of really nice bud in Ocean Forest. Do I pop seeds in it? No. It's hotter than I like for that. But it works great for late veg and flower.
