Indoor 1st Grow! Dutch Passion Think Different & Big Buddha Cheese. LED/CFL. Soil.

Gonzo, thanks! I checked the soil bag and it is just compost. You think I should wait a day or so until she is a bit drier and water/feed again. Since I did a 1/4 strength last time, maybe at 1/2 this time? The PH of the soil may be a bit low as well. It tested today at 6.2. Thanks for your help. Your grow journal is amazing! How is the TD to smoke?

The TD smoke is a great high! Especially for the day time! I wouldn't recommend a flush right now either, but I would recommend you jump over to the Live Help Thread. They respond quickly, and they are pretty quick on diagnosing the issue. I really don't want to steer you wrong, so I am gonna refer you to the experts.

Consider Coco

Sawbones,
Consider coco noir/peat for your next grow. An inert medium which is fairly easy to control...adjust PH, keep EC (ppm) low...and watch 'em explode! Inexpensive method and YOU have total control. It's termed 'soilless', in essence, hydroponic. Coco has little or no inherent nutrients. Pick a set of nutrients/company and stick with that company for all your additives ensuring compatibility. I use General Hydroponics (GenHydro). I'm also on my first grow and having the TIME OF MY LIFE! I've made it to day 31. Preflower.

A seed has enough nutrients encased within itself to carry it through for about 3 weeks without needing anything but water. I screwed up my first 4 seeds by feeding 'em too much, too soon. Growweedeasy.com has a TREMENDOUS amount of good info, especially dealing with coco.

I've been gardening/farming for over 40 years. Some of the most beautiful soil you can imagine where I first started. Soil SO beautiful, thick and rich you almost wanted to eat it (geophagist)! Coco is like that. When I took the chance and bought some, rehydrated it, I was like, OMG, I could grow a BRICK in this shit!

Again, good luck!

I do not know how compost releases, probably very slow, the question is, how much water with nutrients has been available to plants so far. If little, then N defficiency is very likely. If enough, then you deal with something else. Have in mind that whatever of food was put anywhere else than around little baby has not been available so far.

Plants that you see in my grow were started at PH 6,2, had done extremely well first month and had not finished as good as expected because of acidity in the second part of growth. But I had finished a little bit bellow 150g per plant.

1/4 is fine, do not go with 1/2 yet. If ph goes down use some dolomite lime.

TD is just wonderfull. But you have to cure it exactly 2 months to get the right thing out of it.

The idea of asking AFN in their special thread is very good. Just describe everything about soil, preparation, watering and feeding and PH managemnt, as well as some good pictures in sunlight.

I hope for you that you deal with a little bit of N defficiency, anything else will not be as easily solved as N def., I think.

Good Luck!

Glad to hear about the TD high! I wanted something peppy for the daytime and when I'm working late at night!

I did not flush, fed and watered at 1/2 strength instead. Here they are today:

Thelma: Big Buddah Cheese - Indica

And Louise - Think Different

Louise is a little droopy. I think it's because she is righ in front of the computer fan and gets dry quicker than Thelma.
