You should water her with a pH range from 6.2 to 6.6 more or less, no need to trim those leaves, they are like solar panels to help with photosynthesis…
Oh wow, didn’t know that. I thought some lower pH helps with access to nutrients. Considering I bought my pH drops and meter only a week ago, I was watering with tap water left overnight, I thought soil pH might went up a bit. Anyway. Good to know that. Guess I was wrong.
I watched on YouTube they trim the bottom leaves, so that the plant will concentrate on top parts of it. And helps with air circulation… whats your opinion on that?
Yup, normal.
H2O2 is water with an extra oxygen along. That oxygen is weakly attached, it’s looking for the right opportunity to ‘jump ship’. So no surprise they pair up and enough of them will make a bubble.
That’s how the stuff is useful, that atomic oxygen is a strong oxidizer and live organics are easy prey but the germinating bean is not harmed (ish, maybe…)
So it’s not a cure-all but it tips the Balance in our favour.
Quick update @Gpaw , you were right. H2O2 helped. Taproots are white as a ghost. Got 3 out of 5. But I keep my seeds in an open space on the wardrobe… So I assume blame on me.
Just found out that my fertilizer had mixed of every npk. So I am buying potassium rich fertilizer right now. The seller said to dilute 1 gr of fertilizer to 2 litres of water and feed every 20 days.
But of course she doesn’t know what I am growing, so I assume this instruction may not be for me.
I asked her what will happen if I feed every 10 days instead of 20, to which she answered that I may burn the roots out.
I wonder what do you guys think? Should I take it easy with potassium? Do these plants want much potassium?
As a rule, I expect the fertilizer manufacturers to recommend the maximum amount (just short of toxicity).
So, with an unknown product, I start at 50% recommended dosage and ‘ease my way into it’ until I have some experience with the product.
In the old days the preferred answer was “I’m growing Tomatoes” … because if it worked for tomatoes it worked for weed…
Day 45 for a big lady.
I cant believe how generous she is. Today is the first day of me feeding her with potassium. I sprayed it all over her, and poored much into the soil. From there it went into the tray, and I let the water sit there for good 10 minutes to make sure that absorbed enough.
Day 14 for small ones.
My only guess here is some insect or mosquitos right?
Day49
I noticed yesterday that pistils started turning brownish. Is it the sign of maturity? I have seen no sticky trichomes so far. Dry buds, but very smelly.
