Do u really use it with every watering ....and it says 1/4 to 1/2 tsp with every watering so do I need to start with half a 1/4 tsp
 
#23
I used it years ago. I used it according to instructions. I know that it will have salt build up issues, so flushing regularly is very much recommended.
I used the full line, including the foliar and it worked really well. You must Ph it before using so get Ph tester drops and ph up and down. Best of luck.

Dyna gro just arrived...the girls have been flushed 3 times hopefully removing all that bad shit....I know there's prob better nutes out there but I like simplicity so we'll see what happens
 
#26
Well....mixed 1/2 of a 1/4 tsp in a gallon and gave both girls a gallon worth of goodness...I hope...so now I'll just water twice before feeding again maybe once ...and see what happens

Also did more reading on the interweb and came across something sounded good so I fimed the one taller plant...but I didn't pinch her I cut the new growth and left just a Lil behind so we'll see

OK I flushed then fed with dyna gro few times everything seems OK I guess...I wanted to veg couple months but was wondering if it would be OK to flower now...the one I planted sprouted bout may 1st and is now 23" tall and the clone I got is now about 16" tall....I know they stretch in flower but don't really want tall girls...I topped the tall one about a week ago...so all in all I been veggin about 5 weeks and I know there's a thousand different answers but I'll take the advise....thanx fam...heres both of em...couple yellow leaves on bottom of the one i planted
 
#29
Flower them when ever you are ready,yeild will be your final desision decider,good luck bud,Peace.

OK finally got a pH test kit...where I live I can't just run to the store lol...I tested my water which is well water and found it read like 7.5...dammit....tested some rain water I collected and it read 6-6.5...so I think I know where my problems have came from...just weird the only plant affected was the one I planted not the clone...so I'll use the rain water as much as I can...if not I'll just have to pH down my tap....
 
#31
Question though...say I water/feed each one with 2 gallons...they are in 5gal pots...do I add nutes to each gallon and test pH of that gallon or mix it all up and test whole thing?
 
#32
mr skunk if your well water is 7.5 your plants will love it but note after adding nutes that your Ph will generally drop a couple points so mix your big batch then Ph the whole batch and you might consider running an air stone in your big batch just to mix/add o2 to it(maybe mix 5-10 gallons at a time Ph*d ready with air stones)Peace.
 
#33
Thanx oregonmellow...how long will the mixed batch be OK for before I can't give to my girls?.... Like is there a time period before it stales
 
#36
Alright well....I've done everything in my power and finances but I'm still getting yellowing leaves on the plant I started from seed not the clone...I figured if it was something I was doing both would show problems...so fuck it I threw em into flower bout a week ago...gonna just ride it out see what happens...it's a learning curve I guess
 
#37
mr skunk,do you still have them in with the red colored wall? Flat white all the way around is good for reflection sorry just a side note,it*s really not going to hurt anything flowering them at this point,don*t get too bent with yourself,I learn stuff every grow and I have been doing it a long time(late 70*s) so all the new tech and genetics pretty exciting but can be very frustrating,I learned to pick a couple strains, and learn them so I can grow them well,been working with a couple of my own crosses for 7 months,think I finally got it dialed in,good vibes bud,Peace
 
#38
One more thing mr skunk can the water run out the bottom of your pots or does it sit in a tray until it evaporates,no soaking your plants feet they don*t like it wich might explain the yellowing and only fair growth,ph your run off/tray water then dump it, just two more cents bud,Peace.
 
#39
Yea I can't paint the wall itself...I'm renting...the rest inside is flat white...yes the water completely drains...I have em on a tray so they can drain and to get airflow threw the bottom as well...I'm researching everyday and yes there's a lot of science people put it but I'm not smart enough for all that lol...I just want something simple and kinda a hobby to take my mind off the bs of life...I'm literally in the middle of nowhere so I can't just run to town for crap so I'm just gonna keep going and learn and maybe next one will be bigger and better...oh and yes the ph is good in and out so far
 
#40
strip all those leafs that are close to the soil.....i usually get at least 6-8 inches of trunk with nothing growing on it.....next time LST those things into little bushes instead of letting em get so tall......Check out scrogging really cool method that i feel allows more yield and smaller plants :) Looks good though.... have fun;)
