Lve2toke: Soil, First Grow Journal 2020

[Lve2toke]

I havent fed them yet....only sprayed them. They weren't asking to be fed because of the soil I'm using. Also been using distilled water which is ph of 5.8-6.0

Rust spots could be a calcium deficiency. Your using distilled so no minerals. I'd be adding a calcium supplement and really you should be starting to at least doing half feedings.

She sprayed with alcohol solution with the lights on. That’s where the spotting comes from.

just gonna quote this because yes !

yes and happiness to both .. and to @Lve2toke as well for the drive by.
you deserve better in the thread ...

 

[Lve2toke]

I've topped 3 more of the girls...they seem to be doing well since I accidentally burned them slightly with the HP. The girl I topped last week needed some defoliating so I took a few clippings...bigger than my hand lol

 

[Kriaze]

Looking at the picture of the leaf being eaten through and the spots (where the pests have been feeding) along with the picture of the culprit I would suggest that you may have a case of Thrips. There are plenty of threads on here which will discuss the solution, tobacco juice mixed with soap, alcohol, CNC30, Neem oil etc etc. If you are aiming for organic I would suggest the tobacco or Neem solution along with a dash of soap. I've had them myself and left alone they can ravage the plants although you will still gain some form of harvest, but they are also really easy to clear so long as you are methodical and don't mind respraying all over (undersides of leaves and stalks too) on a two or three days cycle for a week or so, this breaks the lifecycle of their eggs too. Don't be alarmed, you just got lucky that you have a challenge on your first grow

 

[Lve2toke]

Neems and proteckt will be here today. I sprayed them w hp...and burned them because I sprayed with lights on. First grow and I'm def learning !

 

[Lve2toke]

They need watered but here we are today. Will only be running 4 girls after this....hoping to get another light and tent get a perpetual going sooner than later. Put the last solo in her pot today...she has a mutation/deformation looks like to me...thoughts

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

I've only had one weird seedling and I called mine a zombie. She grew into one nice big plant!

 

[Lve2toke]

Ok I sprayed with the neems a couple nights ago right before lights out...smelly lol. They seem to have taken to it fine so how often should I spray them? Also does adding dish liquid to water help plants in any way I've been skin reading some stuff but havent found an answer so hoping y'all could help out lol

 

[Pennywise]

Spray every 3 days, a drop of liquid soap will help the neem stick to the plant.

 

[Lve2toke]

I have the proteckt for that....or no? I thought I read it helps your soil absorb the water?!?

 

[Pennywise]

Soap acts as a wetting agent, Protekt is calcium Silicate to strengthen branches.

 

[Lve2toke]

All the stuff I've read said to use the proteckt as the wetting agent lol...guessing adding some soap to the mix wont hurt anything....what a tsp a gallon? Pic is of the soap I bought to use...

 

[Pennywise]

Just a drop or 2 per gallon is all you need.

 

[Lve2toke]

I have now defoliated them all...and they are all topped. [Except the smaller girl]
Wasn't thinking when I popped the last bean about flipping them all and etc. Welp there isn't much I can do now so forward we must go.....wont flup to flower until the baby is ready so the other girls will get a couple more weeks of veg. Learning alot this grow and it's my first so that's the process and I'm just super glad that they are all still thriving with minor issues.
Here they are today... I just watered them.

 

[Pennywise]

They’re looking good for now, keep doing what you’re doing.
