Keeping it simple

[freedom4all]

Splendid good sir and I can let it cook for 2 weeks I have good waiting skills just don't like to use them some times haha

And with what you showed with the pics looks like what I do make a mold out of the solo cup and fill with lesser mix I'm going to do some shopping with my lady friend tomorrow (aka the money maker haha) and see what I can't find

I do have some roots organics buddha grow and trinity reckon those would be good for seedlings as they are not super strong? Think the grow is like 2-.5-1.5

Thanks very much for your help

Also in talks of genetics I'm assuming dinafem emerald triangle and flash are pretty good?

yeah those generally are fiiiine genetics.ive grown both but not the flash genetics yet.I have em just aint gotten around to tinker with them but yeah should do ok.I like emerald triangle and the HSO too.and the bottle is for photos and take what ever that is cut it by half atleast for general feedings or even a little more to be honest till you know how it responds.for seedlings it sounds fine man i would use for example something like a teaspoon or even two for a gallon and add that and see how they respond.if they green up a lil and start pushing in a week thats great.if they seem slow and still off colored PH and/or increase the feed a little.a teaspoon per gallon at a time untill you find the right strength.id imagine theyll be fine with that though imo. the grow sounds just fine man.

as far as your soil goes i personally would get a good soil probe similar to an accurate 8 if ya can get it or order it. sit it n mix it completely getting the corners...the bottom ALL of it mixed each week.soil settles especially when moist and the weight will suffocate it in time if left alone. longer than you will im just saying that so ya know it'll die out if left lol. Id leave it for three weeks and check the PH with a probe.you can get a cheap'ish one if ya have to its just not accurate on the spot.it'll have to sit over night in a moist warm soil..atleast thats what works for me thus far lol...gives you a much more accurate reading if you cant afford a higher end probe for your soil.which youll wanna get. two weeks in a dark warm climate will be on the border if blending characteristics for a 2 week sitting.three weeks will give you that (OK its done and i know its ready piece of mind instaed of POSSIBLY mind you of having issues during the transition from plug to soil phase early in week 1-1.5 or even 2 in some case) true beak down of the stuffs added and should be ready to lightly feed plants through till harvest with a limited feed(s) of any heavy strength imo. not 100% familair with all the stuffs, but know of them n all that.

no sweat bro i hope that just about covers it..? lol glad i could help.:Sharing One:

Hmm I wonder if I was feeding to much because with the roots organics grow and trinity I was feeding 30ml and 50ml respectively never got any burn or anything just idk my plants seemed to be really slow but then again I probably messed up with the soil mix

Pretty sure you have gotten me on the right track mate Thank you very much

One last question with the pot of gold soil 555 fertilizer and the kelp and alfalfa and the lime and such sounds great for veging and early flowering stages when and what would cover the rest of flowering I'm assuming once I see good preflower would be a good time to add in some 572 fertilizer? How would you administer that? Just sprinkle a bit on top of the soil and water it in? Or should the mix get me through flowering with the short life of an auto?

Just for reference

Here is one of my lemon haze plants at day 6 day 16 and day 23 with the black gold plug and dr earths pot of gold soil I was feeding every other watering about 20ml of the buddha grow and 30 ml of the trinity at day 22 I fed fish emulsion and dr earths 333 in addition to 50 ml of the grow and 40 ml of the trinity I was told I have a hella bad cal mag problem so I'm going to get some molasses and epsom salts today what do you think of this grow thus far though looks way small don't it?

 

[Eyes on Fire]

well again Im not 100% familiar with those products.im aware of them and when dealing with heavier chleated feeds like that kid gloves should always be employed until you know how it'll effect your plants.less is more man,trust me when dealing within organics.this type of souping it up aint the best but it will do really really nicely for your quality.

i couldnt find that product but it its for bloom and its granular id prolly not use it personally.but if you want to Id take a cpl or three teaspoons and sprinkle evenly aroud the rims of the pots and turn n fluff into the topping and keep moist and it should start helping you bloom a bit better IF your lacking.and depending on the feeding characteristics of your plants and media n so forth.but give it at the true transition phase upon pre flower.a week prior to the time it should stop stretching and by the time flowering hit full on it should be working.but this again is why you need lime,they exude salts and they'll build up over time. ya really wanna buffer that some if ya can. but somewhat PHing your water is ok.not ideal but doable with a slight buffering agent like Baking soda possibly,vinegar or even veeery lightly a drop or so of lemon juice just to buffer it out some.n dont forget cal mag for your heavier veg n flower too. general organic and humboldts are two i typically use myself. or even a Honey ES if they have it or even some molasses.no sulfur though.

 

[Eyes on Fire]

yeah thats s cal mag and a PH thing.too much feed if it dont burn your plant since thyre mellow from what your saying but will dip your PH down quickly and yellow out your plant right quickly thats one reason you need lime but yeah too much feeding.;with a decent soil it should only need a starter feed and one here n there betweeen waterings at best generally speaking but day three looks fine a wwek er so from a starter feed but the rest are exhibits or what im saying.. look decent otherwise they wanna grow as ya can see.just gotta provide them with a little more of a balanced feeding system thats all bro.

I had a problem seed n took a cpl pics of my seedlings I got in less than 24 hours of hitting the soil and all of 24 hours old.one been was stuck with the husk on it as well as the other for a 24 hour old seedling is quite literally perfect lol

 

[freedom4all]

Gotcha. So no epsom salt in or on the current plants to try and save them? I'm really close to just scrubbing this grow and starting over lol the thought has crossed my mind a couple times

 

[freedom4all]

Ahh ok yeah that's good shit right there man so what would you recommend I do to save my current plants if anything at all can be done for them I can't get any cal mag local

 

[Eyes on Fire]

oh yeah you can totally save them.use some epsom buuut more salts are eventually going to create issues if your lime and PH aint buffered on some level.you can try doing your water if you dont already and use a lil epsom.sur ehtatll help.but uncertain if it'll be all that awesome.it may finish if you baby it till it fixes but its not going to give you what your looking for.once shocked n stunted it'll remain that way no matter how awesome a grow ya have.itll be smaller and taste slightly off too.but im a living organics guy and i personally can taste if a plant aint been grown right..lol weird i know but its true lol!

molasses i what id use with a small touch of epsom in all honesty.if thats all ya got..lol

 

[freedom4all]

And I'm for sure getting lime man seemed like that caused a lot of my problems
