At least that’s what I believe is happening. So, I’m taking from 1gallon and transplanting to a flowering soil (Bio365 Bioflower) watering initially, then adding teas (roots organic) around week 4. I was told the nutrients in the soil should be good enough for about 4 weeks in a 3 gallon. Even when using Sohum live soil I also noticed this. Right around week 5 I see yellowing leaves and they stay this way until harvest even if I try to remedy upon noticing.
I’m all about trying to keep things easy, but it seems like they’re always needing something
Is there anything I can add this far in to try and help?
I have had similar problems with sohum soil running out just after the veg cycle.
To me it looks like they are hungry for everything not just N. If you have any fast bioavailable npk I would give them some of that, if you have organic macro nutrients they can take 2 to 3 weeks for the bacteria to break them down and get into the system, which will be not long before they finish.
Teas and foliage feeding will be a lot quicker for you with a balanced npk ratio or a bloom stage like Jobes organic 3.7.5 ferts.
Yeah that will do, make a tea with it, add a table spoon of organic non sulphured molasses to get the bacteria up and running well, and it will get the nutrients available quickly. I would put anything left over on the bottom of the tea bucket on top of the soil in your pots as well. Water it in and if you have a sprayer mist it on the leaves just before lights out, provided you are not creating a too high humidity after lights out.
You might already know this but organic malted barley powder is good for speeding up your bacteria as well if you can find it. You don’t need much, a teaspoon on top of the soil in a 3 gal pot, or add it in your tea, it’s packed full of benificial enzymes and other good things. I get mine from a beer making store.
They can coarse grind the malted barley powder, make sure it’s organic or it may kill all your bacteria off, you will probably have to make it into a powder with a blender yourself. If you have an air bubbler in your tea bucket that will help also, don’t go past 36 hours making the tea from scratch it can go off quickly.
I use malted two row barley in my soil with my dry amendment and it makes huge plants its loaded with complex sugars and nutrients .You finish flower a bit faster with it mix it with Earthworm castings and use it as a top dress.The mycelium will explode
1TBS per gallon with a kelp kicker will do it. Big bloom is my “go too” for any plants that look sickly. Root drench with big bloom and kelp or fish ferts. Its what the doctor ordered. Always keep them on hand.
I had similar problems recently with deficiencies that were due to soil PH. Even after adjusting the ph the plants still were yellowing. Something that helped a lot was increasing the microbial life in the soil. I started adding additional LAB, FPJ (both with molasses), Microbial Mass and fish hydroslate. This helped the plants by making more nutrients available in the soil.
I need to be more careful with my advise. I feed this in 30 gallon outdoor pots of coco. Should always micro dose and build up when feeding. Start real low and bump in small doses each feeding until you see it. Like @Loggershands said. I always feed a microbe supplement every feeding. I use Bushdoctor Microbe. 1/2 tsp per gallon up to 3/4 tsp per gallon.
How much two row do you put in? I’ve just started using it with some SIP buckets but I don’t really know how much I’m supposed to put in? So fars it’s been 2 cups (one at first, one at reammend) for 11 gal soil mix
thanks bud. We happen to have a home brew shop nearby
