MY LITTLE GROW...or What not to do 101A

jangel

I am using Promix soil from Home depot plus adding bone meal and Dolimite Lime as well as half the recommended dose of FF American Pride to the mix. As well as adding aprox. 40% perlite to the soil.

Feeding with Fox Farm Big Bloom, Musky fish emulsion and super thrive a drop per gallon. I am so wary of over fertilizing now I add at the most 1/4 of the recommended liquid foods. I also add 1tbls. of molasses not every time, but more like every 2 time, or if they look like they are hungry.

I think my biggest problem was I was UNDERWATERING! Yes, underwatering. I was under the impression that they had to really really dry out before watering. Now I follow what I THINK and have read Not to let them totally dry out. I know I know. BUT it is working for me so that is fine.

As you can see the room is not finished yet. I have had a constant temp of 74 with no fan and 69 to 70 with the fan on. Once the weather warms up I think it will get warmer especailly with the other lights and plants added. I will see, and am prepared. I have a vortex vent fan that will do for the whole room I think. We were going to seperate the flower and veg part but now I think I will just put up a light proof wall with panda or such and leave it open to help with temps. There seem to be enough holes in the room to supply fresh air and me going in and out a 100 times a day is working with air exchange so far! LOL!

Please feel free to add comments and advice. I need all the help I can get! But I am thrilled to say THEY ARE ALL GOING TO LIVE!!!!!! THANK YOU GREEN PASSION!!!

Without all the good advice I got HERE they would of most likely died in a desert like atmosphere.

Okay, lets here from others!!!!

Hey Jangel, looking good! You do have me curious though about your using nutes with that soil mix you have there.

Maybe try only watering your plants for a bit, watching the upper leaves for signals that they are lacking anything. I think you are goiing to find you don't need any nutes at all.......ever.

You can always top feed the plants, by tossing on a bit more bone meal, prior to watering.

I know I did a simular recipe as yours, and I never needed any nutes at all.
Everything your plant needs is in the soil, you have a healthy (marijuana friendly) recipe there.
Peace

Okay, Videoman. I will for sure do that. I do not want them croaking on me now! It is amazing how quickly they are growing now. Looks like at least an inch or two per day. Do you think I should keep adding the molasses?

Oh also, my water is 6.3 and is osmosis water I am bringing in as my water is too high in ph and had a nightmare trying to mess with it. Just like green says "KISS"! keep it simple stupid!

Thanks for taking a look vidman. I value your opinion highly. Also, thanks toke for the PM.

These include more Northern Flame, more Dutch Treat X Northern Lights, some Lethal Purple, and last is Y2K which I will now upload. Now these are the last of 11 seeds I had. The other seeds did not germinate or else did not grow. I kept these 2 back and did them mrs.fred's way (papertowel method) and they are doing alright. BUT look at the leaves: they look deformed. No idea why as all the rest of the babies are fine. I will take more today and let you see how they look now. Look all to need potting up as there are roots coming out of the bottom. More pics to follow in a day or so. (geez louis, 3rd time I edited it! must be a stoner......)

Every time I sit down to do this I get company! and they won't leave! That is okay though.


Hey anyone have an idea about why these look like this PLEASE let me know. The new leaves look okay. Not sure what is up with them or if they will outgrow this.
