Buildasoil craft blend?
Yes, all this liquid crap is a lot and also make sure if you use WOOD ASH that it never got wet before you used it. That will be a disaster in your grow medium,it needs to compost before you let it get wet.
Just so much easier to craft blend and water then no stress. People make stuff so complicated when it doesn't need to be. You can look at my plants if you want to see what dry amendments can do.

All of y’all’s plants are very impressive. I’m blown away lol. I’m definitely going to be trying again next year with some better seed and try to end up with a better outcome. I’m learning from my mistakes.

We’ll, it’s raining all day today. And more rain in the next few days. So looks like liquid isn’t gonna be the move at least for another week. I stopped by my local store and they have a lot of Buildasoil products. I got a 3lb bag of craft blend. Since I’m not gonna be watering for a few days I just threw that on the top layer for all of em.

Is that what I should use all the way through harvest or is there anything else I should throw in.
 
ok so when it’s time to water/feed.. use 2.5 ml per gallon of calmag and use 6/7 ml per gallon of bloom per gallon.. mix together in the same water.. got rain water to use, if so use that but your tap water will be fine..
but keep this journal going so i can follow and post daily updates..
alright here’s your update. Absolute torrential downpour last 2 days/nights. During the midst of it, I knew I wasn’t gonna be watering for a bit so I ran to local store and threw a bit of craft blend on the top of the soil so it would get fed at least a little bit in hopes of correcting the yellowing fan leaves. I didn’t notice any more yellowing leaves today. Maybe it was the rain water or the amendments, or just coincidence. Probably be able to tell if it’s helping better over the next few days. Anyways what do you think of these flowers do you think they’re going to get any bigger? I sure hope so I put a lot of work into these.

Last pic is the only seed that I know for sure is a different strain than the others. It’s been taking way longer to flower all the flowers are half the size of the other ones, which all came from the same bag.

yes i think you’ll be fine and the buds will get bigger..
it is outdoors so pest and mildew and mold can happen..

Yes a buddy of mine said he loses a lot of his because of mold. I guess I should study up on how to identify and/or prevent that.
 
that last picture.. the fan leaves look to have tiny white specks/marks?..
that might be the start of a pest issue.. though i’m not the best pest expert, hopefully someone else can chime in on that..
maybe post better pictures of the affected leaves?.

It’s strange, the entire plant has looked like that since veg, almost every leaf looks like that. I just assumed it was the genetics🤷🏻‍♂️

mmm things look fine..
probably just the picture..
I have a few plants drooping today. We had a major temp drop last night and today. Dropped into the 60s. Idk if that could have something to do with it. But the pots are still not completely dried out from the rain last weekend. So I don’t think it’s lack of water.

yep go for it
So the yellowing is still in full effect. I’ve fed them the recommended nutrients and the flowers are definitely increasing in size. Should I hit them with some N? Or just let them do their thing.

I got them top dressed with some craft blend, and I have botanicare bloom and calmag.

ok i’m guessing you used the right amount of build a soil, that has a bit more nitrogen in it than the botanicare.. hopefully it starts taking affect soon to stop/slow the yellowing..
how much bloom and calmag did i say to use last time?
