So long story short, I adopted these plants 2 Weeks ago. They where root bound badly, had some type of insect infestation, where nutrient deficient. When I got them they where also 1 1/2 to 2 weeks back into Vegging hours, after an unknown time flowering outside..
I thought these plants had a nitrogen and calcium problem, and being root bound where the only problems besides the insects..
1 of the plants had ugly looking outside dirt/soil being used, and the other had decent looking soil mix with some perlite in it. My friend said the junk looking soil was good because it was from his compost pile then thrown into a red worm bin.
When I replanted them I used my friends "Dirt"/Soil Lol for the plant that already had it and my quick Soil mix I started 2 weeks prior for the other. Black and Gold Potting Soil Nitro-0.13%,Phos-0.04%, soluble potash-0.14% mainly contains 50% Sphagnum PEAT Moss,Comp Pine Bark, and worm castings and I put perlite. I also added only 1 Tblspn of molasses into some water before covering the soil up and putting it outside.
I also added in some bat guano to give them some nitrogen.
I made A Onion/molasses/cinnamon stick Foliar Spray to combat the pest. So far I think there's been black spider mites, a little bit of red ants because the plants where outside, A black/dark purple looking small bug that looks like it flies but doesn't, and A bug that looks like a lady bug but it attaches itself to the main stalk only where nodes are and will literally chew a hole through. There hard to get off unless u have something the shape of a knife. It looks like a bunch of microscopic hairs lining the inside of this dome thing but it's actually a shit ton of small bugs.
There's no more red ants and less of everything else but there still there so it's hard for me to completely diagnos the problems..
I have the plants under 21/3 lighting. Water every other day with plain tap water and once a week a mix of water/molasses mix I have brewing.
I have a new Log thread a mod moved into not the right sub forum that has some pics of when I first got the plants. I'll be putting the link I my signature when I get home to my computer.
I'll post pics of them currently in the next post but wanted to post this incase something messes up. The reason for all the above info is so you understand what these plants have been going through. I notice a lot of people ask questions and expect everyone to be magical Gurus and solve their problems with out info.
I'll get to the pics now, thanks guys.
