So consider soil moisture when figuring out a problem when looking at the seedling above and look at this, what would you think??? So I WAIT!!

Yesterday I top dressed 1 3/4 c gypsum,11/3 cup potassium sulfate,11/3 feather meal, scratched in the soil surface a couple inches and watered in a gallon of water w/ lactobacillus 1 oz for fungal suppression, part of the reason for the High soil tension it really didn't raise it at all because i use a fine sprinkle not a SOAKER once it gets yo the right soil tension ill set my Blu mat carrots and dripper ring i have a30 gallon trash can hooked up in a gravity feed Blu Mat dripper system

All the water in that barrel about 15 maybe 20 gallons, I don't fill it and it's ph'd to 6.8 citric acid for down baking soda for up if needed

My philosophy and training works on vegetables anyways

 

[seaofgreen18]

A good way to increase ph slower than lime and add silica to your soil

 

[seaofgreen18]

WOLLASTONITE is a multipurpose soil amendment that will help your plants resist powdery mildew, supply available calcium and silicon and is proven to increase yields and plant integrity. Wollastonite neutralizes soil acidity and can be used as a substitute for agricultural limestone.

Wollastonite is a naturally occurring mineral that is a combination of calcium, silicon and oxygen. This amendment is made by crushing, drying and milling Wollanstonite ore.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

Application rates vary according to soil conditions and plant requirements. Apply Wollastonite according to your soil test results, taking into consideration the soil pH, as well as the calcium and magnesium requirements, and silicon supplementation.
A Better explanation than I can give

Dry amendment is good worm food to, alfalfa,kelp, Neem seed meal They REALLY like that!!

Will try to keep my tenants happy. Lol

 

[BudShark]

Bud shark don't forget the char charged char (Bio char)

I will revisit a YouTube video on how to make this product, I have seen it on the shelves of my local grow shop but price took all benefits away from it. Lol

Clones are still hanging in there and The ones in the pots got searchers coming out the bottom, I added a pinch of gypsum to the soil . The soil is a little dense Holds ALOT of water they stay wet a little to long for my liking if i would have planned better with the testing, amendments and such it wouldn't have taken this long!!
Im in the regrouping mode and big change/ learning curve mode with that light

Always helps to be observant and follow your intuitions, change is not always a bad thing.

It's REALLY TRYING not looking all that bad see the cut on the one leaf?? Deficiency no bug's in my room,so far anyways!

I personally think that deformations in plant leaves is caused by the process of Feminized seed making, not on first generation seeds, but this process as a snowball effect and in my personal opinion is not good for the plant itself.

The bed is still @ t50 mb's soil tension (WET) bottom end is 80 mb's ,100mb's is target for me 120mb imo is upper limit (dry) but after a flush it doesn't dry out that QUICK when you got 180 gal's of soil and you gotta flush 20% run off that's ALOT of water something like 40gals of runoff and that's not accounting for what the soil holds with the organic material and char!!! Learn from me "Sometimes, LESS is MORE!!" Dont just throw shit at tge plant! Consider that it may not be a deficiency…
If you are struggling with yellowing cannabis leaves you should always consider it a visible symptom of a bigger issue.

The problem is that, because yellow leaves are such a common symptom, you need to diagnose more than the leaf to understand what the underlying issue really is and it is not good practice to assume a cannabis deficiency.

Three are 8 common reasons your weed leaves are turning yellow and we have a complete article on all 8 of them that you can read here.

pH imbalance
Temperature issues
Light burns and leaf bleaching
Under and overwatering
Root rot
Mite infestations
Leaf Septoria
Over/Under Fertilization

I agree, allot of it relies on your confidence and experience with the methods you are using, this is a great asset in your method. The confidence in your soil, stemmed from your analysis reports gives you allot of direction in the way ahead. I think its good. Cheers

I am no expert, but if moisture is at around 50 pct, i think the soil as a good percentage of water and air, not drowning the plant but enabling it to function the way it is designed to do.

I also think its good to have flushed, I am thinking that the lower your roots go, they will have the same water moisture all around, in time the wicking affect of soil will take effect and help bring water to the areas that need it, therefore i like your drip method. no need for excess water on the top just enough to keep it moist.
