This is my first real grow!

[Eledin]

How much epsom salts do you guys recommend i give for a plant showing possible sulfur deficiencies? I looked around online and the recommendations are all over the place lol best idea i saw so far was to start at 1/4tsp per gallon and work up from there based on the plants reactions.

Yes iv basically accepted it probably isnt an iron deficiency, theres been so many experienced growers saying the same things so theres gotta be something there, but i guess i wont know for sure until i try things lol could still be a little light in iron, i honestly have no idea at this point lol

I only apply 2-3 times during all the grow and I use around 1 tablespoon in 2 gallons when theyre big mixed with 5ml per liter of my calcium solution.

Milk does kill powdery mildew but it wont get it all. You need a proper fungicide. I treated a plant succesfully with milk once but I catched it very early and I washed it after the treatment. If you let the milk sit around like that is only gonna make it worse, which is what happened.

 

[Eledin]

At that stage of flowering you only have one option: throw it away. If you still wanna take the risk to smoke that I suggest you give them a wash in several buckets with water and hydrogen peroxide because one bucket alone will not do... you will need to rinse them several times with that much PM. It will kill the spores which will save you from getting pneumonia and it will displace most of the fungus to the water if you keep it clean enough, but it wont kill all the fungus so its not gonna be pleasant nor healthy to smoke but Ive done it in the past.

So just to clarify, do you mix 1 tablespoon into 2 gallons if water every time you feed with it? Or is that just that 1 time for the whole grow?

This thread is fucking awesome!

I couldnt agree more dude! Hope youre getting as much out of it as i am

I feed it usually once during veg with my calcium, another time during flower with my calcium and a last time in late flower alone, helps get rid of any possible accumulated salts along with the enzymes I use. I like for the plant to suck everything out of the soil and even the leaves before I harvest even though sometimes theyre green all the way until the end because I misscalculate when to stop feeding them

 

[Eledin]

Yes, you can use epsom salts to flush your plants. Many growers do it and even some brands like AN with Flawless Finish which is nothing else thaaaan... magnessium and sulfur!

Haha nice! But i was actually asking how long that 2 gallons lasts lol like do you make a new mixture every time? Or do you just make 1 mix and use that for the lifetime of the plant?

 

[Eledin]

Aah okay I get it now, sorry. I mix it in the spot and use it in the spot. I use exactly 2,1 gallons (sorry working with liters here so cant give you a round number, 8 liters) to water my 4 plants with that mixture, so yes I use it all in one sitting. 2 gallons every time I water them, and those 3 times per grow I throw a tablespoon of epsom salts. The thing is, a tablespoon here is not the same as there let me put it into grams better... around 5 grams of epsom salts in the 2 gallons of water then everything for the plants. You see, when I say tablespoon I mean a spoon that is used for soup, thats what we call them here, and epsom salts are very light. A soup spoon that is not at its full capacity but flat will hold about that many grams of epsom salts, maybe less.

 

[Eledin]

Sorry about the mindfuckery about the tablespoons but I keep forgetting that for you guys is different, you actually have spoons designed to hold what a full tablespoon would hold more or less and its a unit of meassure, here its just a soup spoon hahahaha.

 

[PooToe]

Damn dude really? Holy shit! Thats insane, i had it at 70% for seedling and had it oretty close, then turned it up to 100% and moved it to the top over time, thats crazy. Im gonna try the epsom salts as well.

You guys have no idea how much i appreciate the info @Eledin @PooToe @Captspaulding @Newty @Mikedin

I take everything you guys say seriously and just give my thoughts back, its the best way for me to learn. I like to have conversations and really learn the smaller details, and i love learning when i thought wrong

Which is why you'll be teaching people how to grow weed on forums in not time!

Hahaha hell yea thanks dude! I give about a gallon of water per watering so il have to adjust accordingly, but i really appreciate the info! Im gonna pick up some stuff on my day off tomorrow, il let everyone know what i got :)

That would be pretty cool! Kinda the dream job for me, growing good weed i mean. If i can get good enough to grow true medicinal cannabis, that would be ideal. Thats half the reason i got into the industry in AZ, i wanted to work at a grow. Ended up in a pot shop, the grows out here are NOT the places i wanna learn from lol

Agreed. The milk should be rinsed off the plant after a few days after application then reapplied for any residual mildew that is still on the plant.

I've never used it but trusted sources have and tell me Banish will clear up advanced cases of PM.

Crushed volcanic rock from the Java island. Fucking gold as you said.

Just pure volcanic ash, nothing else. I think azomite is mined from a dessert volcano thats why the difference in color but we have known for centuries that land around volcanos are extremely fertile. Is not that people were stupid and like to get burned by a volcano, it was just perfect for farming. Still is, canary island plantains are world famous and the sole reason theyre so good is the ammount of volcanos around. Theyre islands formed by volcanos.

That’s dope af. Tractor supply?

Is this more pm or is this dried milk where I sprayed it with milk water I can't seem to tell and it's outa control if it's pm now bc it's on every cola now View attachment 2263245

One way to tell, taste it.

Lol I'ma post a video tomorrow if it I rly rly hope my only plant isn't ruined man I've done everything I can afford to try n save her

What do you mean by tractor supply? I dont know I buy it in one of my spanish grows of choice hahaha. Top Crop is a spanish brand and I think they dont sell outside the EU. Mine has a few chunks but because Im finishing the bucket so all the little rocks are there but its mostly dust, well crushed, and you can crush the small pieces too. Very competitive prices, I love Top Crop, not everything they have but many of their thingies. This is the 4kg bucket.

And here the 700gr bucket
