this is actually a great idea Pirate... they love loose soil, along with the drainage. if you aren't mixing in a decent amount of perlite or vermaculite (20-45%) try it out. with the amount of nute def that seems to be going on in some of your plants, i think your roots are having a problem effectively using the nutes they're being given. check the PPM and PH of your runoff, see if it is where it should be for what you've got set up.

i apologize if someone already suggested it, but i would think overwatering right away. i was told when i had a similar problem that any apparent nute def, you should first take steps to make sure your root system is healthy before dumping more nutes in that won't be used anyway if there is a root problem. if not overwatering now, maybe a touch of root rot left over from a previous time... the hydro store has enzymes that eat the dead roots and turn it into food for the live ones, setting them free so to speak. i'm sure you could find it online if any of that sounds like it might be true.

OG's, what do you think?

anyway you are still kicking some ass brother! grow on

 

[Pirate138]

i do have perlite in my mix, my plants look over watered? i water until i see a little run off thats it. grownow: i never called you a name, your confusing me with someone else. i will be changing them to bloom nutes next week.

 

[Guest]

how often do you water?? ...i wrote ya a pm ..is it really your first grow ...? looking good for that ...i can remember my first grow ..lol

 

[Pirate138]

every 3-4 days could still be overwatering if your root system is small and the pots are big. but if you tip the pot before watering and it feels light, almost like there is only new soil in it, you are good.

i don't know brother, that's all i had! good luck though, you'll get it figured out and they'll pull through.

update: watered my 2 girls today with my last gallon of veg nutes. In 4 days i will be watering them with cal-mag, PBP bloom for soil, guano tea bloom. I wish i had a growth enhancer but im on a limited budget.

 

[Pirate138]

I did a little pruning of a couple lower baby budsites, i didnt take alot cause i didnt wana cause stress to my girls and i didnt take any large budsites that the plant spent alot of time developing. so is this wise? ive heard that if you get rid of those popcorn budsites then the top budsites will be bigger. what yall think? if so then im gona prune again a little here and there in the future of a few other very low small budsites.

 

[Dr Dog]

Yeah that is the theory, that you remove those lower budsites, allows plant to concentrate on what is left.
I have a hard time deciding which budsites to remove, especially later into flower once the pistils and calyxs start to form, but it is something you get with practice

 

[D Rock]

Pirate I hope you turn out with mostly females, and I hope you get your heat issues under control. Best of luck to you.

 

[Pirate138]

thanx Dr. dog, i will get the hang of it one day im surem it just feels so wrong to cut on my girls.

D rock: i got 2 females outta 4, im on about day 9 of flowering.

 

[BlksailzBastard]

Sup, hope I get to see those up close soon

 

[XyZ]

Hey....not a bad start fo the first solo grow! good luck & enjoy the flowers of yore

 

[Pirate138]

My girls were watered today with flower nutes for the first time. In 1 gal. i added 2tbsp. of budswell flower forumula dry tea, 15ml PBP bloom soil formula, 3ml cal-mag. Sound good? I fed light for safety, maybe in a week or so i will up my budswell to 3tbsp and eventually 30ml of PBP bloom. I know i need liquid karma but im broke. Check back in a few days for pic updates.

Pirate, just came to check out how your first grow is going.

It looks like your getting alot of good help from some real good members here.

Your doing fine and always remember that most good things in life are achieved through a series of mistakes. Hang in there my friend and keep up the good work!

Day 14 of Flower:

BB Cheese: a few leaves have brown spots, dont know if i should be concerned.




New England Bagseed: the bud sites are kinda yellow, but im using 3ml of cal-mag plus so i dont know what the prob is.

 

[Pirate138]

Ok well i have overfed my girls, apparently you only feed once a week not every watering. Im dumb. Plus my pots are being upgraded to 1.5 gallon. I will be flushing my girls in a few days and will also be transplanting. I hope its not gona shock em to bad, check back after X-mas for updates.
