New Grower

[grustman]

Hello colleagues, I am glad that you register in your forum, I come from Bulgaria, I have the following problem, which I will describe, I grow Sweet Tooth Barney 6 pieces in 11 liter pots. the plants are already 60 days old from seed and 25 days from the 12/12 regime, they are fed exclusively with biobizz and every three to four days they are watered with the following things Biogrow 3.6ml Biobloom 4ml Bioheaven 5ml
Cal mag 1.5ml Alg-a mic 4ml Topmax 4ml Molasses 3ml per liter as the previous three waterings were with cal mag 2.0ml my lamp is a vipaspectra 240w LED today I raised it higher it was 27-8cm 85% of the top of one of the plants at the moment is about 36-40 cm. Thank you greeting from

I forgot to add the PH of the water is 6.4 6.6

Welcome to the forum.

Your plants look ok overall.

My guess is the yellow/brown patches are a result of overfertilization. I would cut down on the Bio-Grow especially.

 

[grustman]

Thanks for the quick response. How many ml per liter do you plan to add biogrow?! I'm working on the table that was given to me by biobiz, it's clearly not correct, if that's how I'm supposed to understand it

Fertilizer company suggestions are often way too strong. Usually I start with half of what they suggest and then either increase or decrease the amount based on how the plants look.

You are about halfway through flowering and based on the tight structure the plants don't seem to be stretching much so they won't need a lot of the nitrogen rich grow fertilizer. I would maybe go with 0-1ml/l. But a sensible approach might also be to slowly taper down until the problem stops progressing. The already damaged parts will not heal so don't expect that.

Thanks for the honest answer to understand it should be about 1ml per liter of biogrow water!? if it stops, it will not be good for the plant, after all, it requires minimal nitrogen in the flowering phase, right?

Yes, or even no Bio-Grow at all. You can always increase the amount if you start seeing signs of a nitrogen deficiency (entire leaves yellowing starting from the bottom of the plant).

But I doubt that will happen. Bio-Bloom also has nitrogen in it, 2% or so. Should say what the NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) content is on the bottle.

This is biobloom,there is no problem to add black strap molasses, isn't it, with every watering or during one, I water every three days with a liter, don't you think it's good, the pots make it easier, I'm guided by that

 

[goingrey]

Seems the NPK is 2-6.49-4.36. Sounds ok for your current situation.

I have never used molasses myself but from what I've heard it should be good.

My method for watering soil is to wait until it is dry at the top, then water slowly until a little bit of runoff comes out of the bottom. How often that is changes. Sometimes they drink more sometimes they drink less. But if your current method works for you stick to it, everyone has their own style.

I also wait for it to dry and check with my finger and lift the pot, I know how full and empty it was with one liter of watering, nothing leaks from below, I water slowly to absorb and not leak. At the moment they started to smell like pineapple hahaha how much do you think it will take a few more days for them to develop ready for picking, the only thing that worries me is not to lose them, the humidity is 40-55%, everything I strictly monitor the temperature 25-28 degrees.Thank you

I added a touch of molasses and my buds came alive. I was very suspicious at first but the results spoke for itself.

How much ml/1L molasse

You are doing a good job with those plants. I don't see anything wrong with your plants. Those bronze spots are from your pH swinging down, but that could have been weeks ago. Just keep going like you going and you will do fine. You only got 25 or 30 days left just watch your pH.

If you catch some of the runoff out the bottom and test it in the beginning and at the end of your gardens you would know exactly how much fertilizer is needed.

 

[grustman]

Thank you, I was worried about losing them, I want to ask after I water with a liter and the water is absorbed, nothing leaks down under the pot, I want to know if you have the table with the appropriate EC values, today I will get a TDS EC Meter Thanks

 

[grustman]

Today I received an EC meter, what should be the values of the solution, do you have a table and the water hard and soft parameters. If it is hard how is it downgraded to soft and when is soft to hard

 

[goingrey]

Some people say that when using BioBizz organic nutes EC meters don't really give accurate readings.

But maybe it can still be put to good use. Accurate or not, you want the runoff EC to be lower than when going in.

Of course, thanks, but with one liter of watering, nothing leaks under the pot

 

[grustman]

I don't know if I'm going crazy, I'll photograph them to track them personally, those that show a deficiency, I see that the damaged leaves are crunchy when I touch them on the orange

 

[Creeperpark]

No, your plants are outgrowing their containers. Its time to up pot into a larger container. Be sure to use the same soil and your plants will double in size over the next two weeks.

Getting a new EC meter is important to find all the answers to your questions by testing everything. Every liquid going in and coming out should be tested if you want to get experience in horticulture and know what you're doing. As time goes by you won't need to test much because you will have learned what's what. Anytime you have a question "test it".
