I don’t consume that much. Currently have about 2oz in the cupboard. That will last me quite a while.
 
So the battle begins in earnest.
Even tho I have netting I found a few black spots on several leaves.
BUGS!
I looked around and didn’t see any critters but the signs are there - chewed leaves and droppings. I sprayed BT yesterday. Gonna alternate BT then a few days later Safer. Probably should have started BT a week ago. These flowers look too enticing.

Some thirsty plants in the group shot! In stretch and flower I wouldn't let them droop at all if they were mine.

:goodluck: with the bugs!

Yeah I did not water yesterday. Seems like every day is too much and every other day is not enough.
I’m mastering the art of stress-growing!
LOL!
 
If I don't give my soil plants a gallon a day they complain now. And I don't have your temps!

Interesting.
I've been giving a little less than one gallon each every other day. Every day if temps are over 94˚F.
I'm seeing curling leaf tips and wondering if they are thirsty.

Well that cranks it then. Let operation MORE WATER commence!

As always - appreciate your advice Shed!
 
I'm not getting hardly any runoff with a gallon of water in a 7 gallon pot other than what runs down the sides. Before I flip tomorrow night I'm going to water with 1.5g of stronger nutes and hope for runoff.

My last two grows I used half Ocean Forest and half Coco Loco. Thinking the Coco Loco helped retain water? This grow I used half OF and half Happy Frog. Also last time I followed FF feeding schedule. This time I have been giving more nutes than recommended - plus added CalMAg - and the plants seem to be in much better shape. More bud sites / colas.

If I could just get the watering right I think I'd be golden.

Hey, if it's working for you, you're doing it right enough!

Seems to be working ok. I’ll give more water just to see if the plants like it. They will tell me if they don’t.

I watered yesterday and again today. Some of the colas are fattening up, while other plant looks to be a week or two behind.
 
I’m a slow learner, apparently.
So I wanted to throw this out there before I do it.

I’m not real happy using FF Trio nutes. I mean the plants look ok, but mixing liquid is a pain in the ass. I like easy. GeoFlora nutes look REALLY easy. I’m going out of town for a week soon, and not sure I can get someone to mix up nutes for me. Water yeah, but mixing 5 different nutes in a bucket of water might be risky.

What if I changed now to Geoflora? Top dress before I leave and they should be good for two weeks. Just need water. When I return I may go back to FF Trio, or I may continue with GF thru harvest.

What do you think?

a. What, are you high? Don’t do that!
b. That may work, or your plants may shit the bed.
c. Sure give it a shot.
d. I’ve heard of others who did this with good results.

Thanks for your input!

My answer is "C."
I'm not a real big fan of GF, but it is pretty darn easy, and much better than just plain water for that week that you'll be gone.

What did you not like about GF?

Unless they are micronized, organic top dresses take around two weeks to become available to the plant.

Oh shoot. Did not think of that - thanks!
This may present a problem.

Is there a risk if I top dress with GF, but also continue feeding with FF for a week?
Appreciate your input!

This stuff is used up every two weeks so my guess is it is.

Organic to organic should be ok GB. I'm guessing yes. @Emilya will know for sure if fox farms trio can be replaced with geoflora. Edit: I looked the trio up and they are and aren't totally organic so I'm not sure. Help Em 😮 please.
