Coffee Tries To Grow Again

[ReservoirDog]

Yeah, for the DE you can `lay down a line`and or little piles. All they have to do is touch it. If the are bottom holes accessible they'll go in there too, little bastards, and you can dust these entrances. Do this on all your plants all the time and I`m convinced it has a major impact and is a good 1st prong in a multi-prong strategy. If you have bugs in the house dust around where you see them and open windowsills, everywhere, you`ll do them in too. Cant hurt you this stuff, unless you try really hard. About as dangerous as water I`d say.

You can make your own sticky traps with cardboard and duct tape, and I bet there's a recipe online using common household items.Put em on sticks in your coco, gnats will collect and other leapers slash fliers. Dont get those ear tips burned now! Have a great weekend. Was it Jean Baptiste recently...

 

[TwelveCoffee]

Sorry Twelve, I don`t want to steer you, I just know it`s possible béc I`ve done it, but I cant assess whether you have, thus, it could just send you down the wrong path. I would stay stick to your plan of laying off over the weekend and reassess, then maybe with a senior member we can look at the medium. Hardest job of all, do nothing!

I was asking about the filter béc I have a bag of activated carbon looking for home. I know you were thinking of DIY but then thought better of it. So if its not right don't feel obliged. But if you`re into it, I`ve seen some awesome 5 gal pail filters, I`m happy to send you the carbon gratis. I bought it at New Years and is packed up tight in orig packaging but wont be good forever and I wont be using.

I may have the issue figured out in terms of in line just need to wait for Julia to get home to figure it out but otherwise I’ll let you know tonight and thank you so much it is really appreciated

Oh ya we always try to make each other laugh at least once a day takes a lot of the bs out of the daily grind

 

[TwelveCoffee]

As much as this doesn’t help the current problems I feel like it’ll be useful later

Think it will need to calibrate to the tent

 

[TwelveCoffee]

So I’m thinking high humidity may be the problem

 

[TwelveCoffee]

@ReservoirDog got some DE off the zon

Make sure the little holes or slats in the plastic on the back have clear steady airflow. Many models skyrocket RH numbers when the unit has poor airflow. You`ll also notice testing it in different places around the tent that there`s a number of microclimates where temp and RH can be over 10% - 25%, or more, different. That`s normal. Humidity tends to settle and temperature tends to rise. Thus our fans.

Oh that’s good to know I also have to vacuum up a puddle from the water I spilled eariler trying to empty out the saucer those things are waaaaay to flimsy to be $6 each at Canadian Tire lmao. I think the other part of the issue I’m having is I need to dim the light down it’s at max right now

 

[InTheShed]

Can Diatomaceous be used in areas where there will be water? Like could I lay it down into the coco?

DE won't work when it's wet but will work again when it dries. Tough to keep it working on the surface of a plant you keep watering!

 

[ReservoirDog]

true dat. But surely we are clever enough to avoid even such tiny setbacks...

 

[TwelveCoffee]

So tap water ppm 131

Calmag 251

Nuts 500

Today is the last day for Grand Daddy’s drought will provide pictures tomorrow some good news and some bad. All plant update incoming tomorrow!

Warning Plant Gore​

So Grand Daddy’s drought is over and I think it was the nutes I was giving her that was causing a lot of the problems going to go back to a organic powder to see if it improves otherwise I might get rid of it unless @Melville Hobbes wants it.

More to come soon

The rest of the Fam
​

Happy Sunday everyone so other then sorting of Grand Daddy everyone else seems to be doing well!

Stretch - Coco Ph 5.8 Day 65 since sprout. After following Bills advice in reducing the part A of the two part nutrients and giving her Calmag she has recovered nicely

Little Death Bubba - Soil Day 52 she’s starting to come into her own need to get some more nutes for her and surprise

Surprise is just doing her thing no other signs of mites that I could see

Can we do a little summary of how things have gone with her and what you've used? I know it can be a little frustrating going over things again, but if it's all in one place we might see something we missed.

Sure thing Mel so originally all the plants were getting Gaia Green 4,4,4 with Calmag. I decided to try the grow portion of the advanced nutrients coco blah blah blah that had the exploded seal and slowly things went wrong then I ran out of Calmag and it kept getting worse. So after 3 days with barely any water and no grow nutes it’s starting to recover but I need to figure out a drainage system for it it’s holding to much water. The picture from today was 3 days with maybe a liter if that you in total for water

 

[Melville Hobbes]

And now you're switching back to the GG, and you're going to give her some time to try to recover, gotcha.
No bug sprays or anything, that's just outdoors.
Okay, your plan sounds good to me. Since she's in coco you should see improvement faster than you would in soil.
I really hope she perks up.
