Soon I'll have to rig something up or just poor the extra water in a saucer like you said. I'll be gone for 2 days at a wedding. Hopefully letting her sit in feed for that long will be fine. We'll see! Or I could just bring her along for the ride lmao.

I'll definitely have to take a page out of your book and use some desert techniques. No way I can let her go into drought mode while I'm away. :smoking:

i had to lollipop the solo.. it was as losing fucking battle trying to keep the bottom growth healthy because of lack of light the fucking sink is just out of control with such a little root system. hah.. so i lollipop her so now i have a chance to save her. so just clipped the petiole at the epidermises layer of the stem. hah, man it sounds so stupid to use big words to get ones point across. hah.


yeah man i cut the leafs off at the stock.
i do not think i have a chance keeping her alive as she gets taller.. but maybe with more light, she will surprise me. still fucking with feeding.. i can say iv never over feed a plant yet.. about the only fuck up iv not done.




maybe showing sex i cant see good enough, eyes still healing or at least i hope so.


rock on.

i did this last week iguess.


also if you UV burn your tips, you waste 3 nodes of leafs. laughs :(

no clue how iv kept it alive this long to be frank ! laughs,
bowl up friends hope you all are having a splendid day. im doing good my self.

Thank you for the encouragement! but this contest is FAR over my friend. The Dr is right! I just happened to be on the ball and popped an auto flower seed at the very beginning so although it may seem I'm ahead it really doesn't matter in the long run until the vote happens. I'm sure there are going to be plenty of awesome girls flowering soon especially with the various training methods I've been seeing.

That being said I am super excited how she is coming along. This is my second auto and they are pretty damn fun I must say.

I use it but not so much for my coco plants. I forget are you running soil? If so you should do it!

Yes soil. Question, my buddy grows in coco, should he use compost tea often? Maybe stop with nutes and keep his coco filled with active compost products?Teas and mykos and some calcarb

I'm of the school of thought that compost teas are not necessary in coco as far as nutrient availability goes however I do believe that they can potentially keep the root zone healthy and efficient therefore keeping them able to suck up all the super available hydroponic nutrients.

Do I use compost tea in coco? I don't, but I certainly could without ill effects. If I were to use it I would maybe be only once a week as kind of a health tonic you could say, and I wouldn't even consider stopping the nutrients until flush time. Coco needs constant nutrients to maintain a consistent pH/EC and to keep it full of calcium and magnesium.

One can't replace nutrients with compost tea in coco, because there are no organic inputs that the beneficial bacteria/fungi can break down into nutrition for the plant.

My plants love when I give them tea in coco, 1 cup worm castings or compost blended in a smoothie maker, 30ml of GH vegan blend with kelp alfalfa etc, 5 tsp of unsulphered molasses, and a scoop of great white in a 5 gallon bucket of water bubbled overnight. When you use it you can notice a growth spurt in a few days and the plants really green up and look happy.
I try to feed a tea every few weeks in veg and once near the end of stretch.

Our local hydro store makescompost tea 24-7. Ten buck$ for 5 gallons, bring your own bucket, with lid. I use tea as much as possible.

My local hydro store is 150 or so miles away, and they have never had everything I needed when I went. They would probably laugh in my face if I asked if they had compost tea, or just stare blankly...
