My sunshine daydream has been starting to yellow but the 2 Purple punch in the back isn’t. The yellowing doesnt seem drastic, but I also think its starting to speed up a bit. The SSDD was in the 7gal for about a month before I flipped to flower so she probably used up a lot of the amendments I had in there. The punch was transplanted up from 3 gal about a week into flowering so they have fresher soil than the SSDD.
Been trying to give her some Epsom salts, gave her recharge last night. Even gave her a week shot of fox farm grow big about a week ago thinking it was N deficiency. Dont want to overload nutes now, just want to slow the yellowing for a couple weeks so she isnt totally spent a week before harvest.
I’m using the @reikox soil mix, fed fox farm grow big during veg, top dressed w neem, alfalfa, and the build a soil craft nutrient mix before flowering and a little during
Using recharge, and twice fed barley teas, coconut tea. Waiting to get some aloe powder in. Basically went from bottled nutes in veg to using amendments and teas during flower.
Lights on temps run at 81F, lights off are more like 66. Humidity is about 40-55%.
I sometimes use a eucalyptus wetting agent that has some nitrogen in it.
I don’t always add as can add too much with feeding schedules but I would break it out in this case if that helps?
Yeah, I’m not expecting to have to keep feeding being 5+ weeks in. A quick shot would be ideal but not always possible when trying to stay organic in flower.
Beware of feeding very much N.
5 eeeks in floeer i would if i thought the were not getting enough N to carry them through, i wold only feed like 600ppm of a 10-30/15.
I am a soil grower…lol
Have fun and b happy.
Thanks all, top dressed w store bought EWC, gave it a light feeding of foxfarm grow big as well. My worms have been in a cold garage all winter so no fresh casting out of the bin available yet.
Hi @newb2.0 Be careful of too much N in flower
Like @Bigun said a 10/30/20 would do just fine
I learned the hard way the wrong ratios of NPK can screw up your grow
Weeks 3 throu 5 your should be feeding a 10/30/20 feed
Weed 6 , 7 increase k to same level as the p like @Jetdro schedule to a 1/3/3
It’s all about the ratios I see a great difference this grow
Peace
Thanks. Unfortunately, with all the organic amendmnets I have, I didn’t have a bottled bloom fert on hand. The fox farm grow big is 6-4-4, so I gave it a 1/2 strength feeding of it this morning along w the ewc top dress. I’ll just stick the organic teas and top dresses out at this point. It may yellow a little early, but I think what I’m doing will help slow it a bit. Next run I’ll have to make sure to keep N higher w the SSDD going into bloom.
When you say you screwed up a grow by too much N in flower, what happened? Think 1/2 strength of 6-4-4 will make much difference?
From what resources Iv read here and their you probably have a good source of P right in your cupboard already . Think I read also used coffee grounds is a good source but I’d watch quantities if using these.
You were totally right! Had just bought 1000 worms that I dropped in there a week ago. Took the 10 gal fabric pot, separated the bedding and left over food, grabbed about a gallon of castings (w a ton of worms!), and split the worm bin into the 10 gal and 2, 5 gal fabric pots because of the amount of worms and food that I had to give them. So tonight, when lights come back on I’ll split the castings and worms among my flowering plants!
