ItsNatural's SolarEclipse Organic Auto Grow

I would throw that out man i dont think it would be good to eat anymore.. i could be wrong but i wouldnt do it personally lol you sure its a problem with the plant and they arent just fading out from getting closer to finishing? I believe my plants started to change colors around six weeks or so. I thought they were having problems too but its just them telling me they are about ready to have me taste those yummy buds!
 
Hey natural. Maybe you should ph your nute solution? Ive been doing it with Earth juice natural down and it has been succesful for me. When i wasnt phing my nutes i was getting lockouts as well its all on my journal.
Much love . Smoke1

you need to PH ur EJ nutes down? Is that after you bubble them or something. Because EJ has a very low ph. But either way I agree. problem is I dont have nor can I afford it right now. And even if I did by the time it got here I wouldnt need it. I do plan to get some before my next "real" grow. But as of right now Im without but am on a mission to raise and balance my ph without it. I plan to raise to 7 and then add a little grow to drop it back down to 6.5 or 6.
 
UPDATE:


I did a little defoliating. Removing any big fan leafs that were blocking bud sights.

I also made my nute mix for tomorrow. Its currently bubbling. I didnt add the mammoth in it yet. I will let it bubble without it for today. And then tonight I will add 1/4 tsp to it so it can bubble over night. Then Sunday morning I will feed them. I made 3 gallons of mix that contained:


10tsp BLOOM
2tsp BIG BLOOMIN GUANO
4tsp GROW
1 1/2tsp META-K
3tsp CATALYST
3tsp HI-BRIX
4tsp CALMAG
1/8tsp BIOZEUS
1/4tsp MAMMOTH P
will add after bubbling
3tsp MICROBLAST
5tsp TERPENEZ
3tsp PRO-TEKT
1 1/4tsp MAMMOTH P




Not really much else to add. Temps are too high. Rh is fine. NL is still curing.

Oh yeah because i add the nutes to the water the day before and so the next day im at work so i cant really keep checking the ph all the time cause im at work so i never catch it when it is automatically where i want it so when i get home from work its usually been approx 24hrs of bubbling and has a ph of around 7.0-7.5
And i use earth juice lines' natural down

And i usually ph it to like 6.5-6.4

But i found like 6.4 seems to be perfect in my experience. I think the soil ph starts to rise in between waterings because i would get lockouts after watering at like 6.8 after a week or and my plants at the time were in a bigger pot then they needed so it would be like 2 and a half weeks in between waterings. So PW told me to give it like 6.2 but i went with 6.4 and its been perfect for a week till next water no lockouts.

But just this last feed i used everything i always use from ej line but i wanted to add silica this feed to help with the stems so i added this

But i added it before i added all my ej nutes because it says to add first on the bottle, it says in the directions for use

And when i made the mix i thought it was gunna be like ph 4 but it was 6.4 right after mixing it so i didnt even bubble it i just fed it to my plants like that.
 
Yea Im for sure going to get some EJ PH up and down before my next grow. I actually have some ph up and down but its synthetic or what ever and from what I read it will harm the microbs. So Iv just been using the tester it came with. Its the liquid kind so Im not getting the most accurate number. Just a ball park. But Ill be honest, Not having to ph was basically the only thing keeping me organic. If Im gonna have to worry about Ph anyway. I might as well go the easier route. I mean I read that organic taste better and bla bla but I dont have a comparison so I dont know that to be true. Maybe I should test it next grow. IDK but it seems synthetics are just easier. I could be wrong. But seems to me its just a matter of measuring, mixing, phing, and then flushing. Where as with organics, You cant really even flush them. Or maybe you can but thats my point. Everything is blurry with organics. How can you flush organics when the soil itself is alive. I know you can slow down the soil, stop feeding the soil for a week or so. But it just all seems more trouble than its worth. And if your plant has a problem,,,there really isnt any quick fixes. You have to keep feeding you soil.....and hope in a week or so it gets better. Where as synthetics, I can fix right then because Im actually feeding the plant. And like Cali Phing to an exact 6.4 make NO SENSE TO ME!!!! I just dont get it. If the your feeing the soil....and the microbes are feeding the plant. and in doing so the microbes balance the PH...I can kinda understande if your PH is WAY off, maybe the microbes wont be able to fully balance it. But if you are within a point of so. Be it from 5.5 - 7.5. I would think the microbes would be able to balance this out. At the very least, be able to balance a half point. I mean , it either does....or it doesnt...I hate to because I have quite a bit of EJ stuff. But Im thinking of going Fox Farm route. Maybe getting the dirty dozen or something. IDK. What do you all think?



I went out there and fed them this morning. Buds look super frosty and everything. But the fan leafs and what not are REALLY starting to look like shit. Im almost certain I have a lockout. I guess Its gonna take a while to balance back. But I have water and fed them the last 4 times with solution that has been a respectable ph. Maybe a little high, about 7. Except today. Today was almost perfect. I checked the ph and it was about 7...But I planned ahead and left out 3tsp of bloom so I could add it after bubble to lower the ph a little. It worked pretty good. I dont have a digital Ph reader so Idk for certain. But I had almost a yellow color. Which is 6.5. If those worthless ass microbes cant balance it from there....well.....IDK....Anyway. I would have thought they would have bounced back by now. I know i prolly should have gave them a semi flush. Maybe floating a good gallon and a half per plant of some PHed water. Buuuut I dont have any natural ph up or down and dont want to kill what life I do have in my soil. Plus, Im not able to just give them as much water as I want any time I want. There is no water in my building. So I have to carry milk jugs and fill them up. I have saved up over 20 jugs so I can just fill them up all at once. But I have to watch when I do it so know one sees me. Anyway....its a pain. Anyway. I didnt take any pictures because I didnt have my camera on me. It was pretty early and I had just woke up. I actually just went out there to add some Mammoth P to make sure the Ph rose. But when I went out there, I seen it had foam, which is a good sign. So I checked and it was ready so I went ahead and fed them. Im guessing the ph arose on its own due to a weaker mix than I had been using. Thats another thing that might be going on. I am dosing them like they were one of my photos. But these ladies are MUCH smaller and probably require alot less nutes. I just put that together...........DAMN....I need to just water them for a couple times. then cut my mix in half......DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!


Iv also noticed that the lower buds... as usual...are pretty airy and immature looking. Like lower buds get. But these arent feet below the canopy...these are not that far below. I would expect better penetration from a freaking $1000 light..But Im going to hold off judgement and reserve my opinion on this light until my next grow.. SO. Ill try and take some pictures later. I want you all to look at something anyway. It might be an Auto thing or something else. But it looks like it hermied on me or something. Im not sure. It could be swollen whatcha call its. But there is alot of them. not really all bundles up together but all over. They all have hairs coming out of them tho. Ill get some pics as soon as light comes on.
 
Then in that case get the ph perfect nuted. U never have to ph with those.. and i think its complicated using ej we arent fully organic were kinda halfways cus i believe with ej were half feedin the plant and half microbez.. full organic would be like super soil when people only use plain water..
But id say expiremiment even go hydro or coco where u can fix problems super fast
 
can anyone tell me if those are pollen sacks or not? I thought I took better pics of them but if you look closely you can see what I am talking about.

Im assuming they are something else. I forget the name. But they have alot of them. I dont think they are nanners but there was so many of them I got a little worried. LOL

The 1st three are coming to an end. Like most autos, they say they are ready anywhere from 55-70 days. I dont think they are quite ready right now but are ready enough I will only give water from now on. I am currently trying to decide on exact drying method. It being hot and humid, I dont think I am gonna hang the plants as a whole. I think I am going to cut the larger colas off the plant. Trim and hang in my other tent. I am going to take the small exhaust fan I had in my little tent and put it in my empty big tent. To move a bit of air. I think I am gonna leave the smaller less developed buds on the plant and lower the light. Let them have a week of pure light for themselves. I mean if Im not gonna hang the plant as a whole, why not? I am going to dry for 3-4 days or until they are slightly crispy. And then destem, and jar with B-62 packs. I will still open once a day for a few days and then once a week. And when I feel safe, Ill leave them be for a month or so. THATS THE PLAN ANYWAY!! :rofl: We will see how much of that plan holds.


I will water them tonight. Ill give them a real good semi flush. Giving each a gallon a piece. Ill give them half a gallon. Let it soak for 15 mins. And then give them the rest getting lots of runoff. My water mix will contain per gallon


1/2tsp MAMMOTH P
1tsp TERPENEZ
1tsp CATALYST
1/2tsp HI-BRIX



Any thoughts or suggestions? On my mix? or Drying/curing tech?


Keep in mind I have no climate control
 
I was told to leave my buds to dry for 10 days.. the first few buds i didnt and they weren't dried enough. Once i left the tops out for eight days until the stems snap and dont just bend, they had more of a potent smell and there was no hay smell at all. If you dont dry your buds long enough you lose a lot of the smell and taste from them. The tops ive been smoking leave a nice fuely weed taste in my mouth for a while after i smoke. When i get angry i focus on that taste and it calms me down. Random and weird i know but the terpenes are kickass when you leave them to dry longer.
 
Yea i didnt think they were but was 100 percent sure.

Iv noticed that over a certain temp you start losing smell and taste. And unfortunately Im guessing Im over that temp. Average temp in my tent at the hottest is about 95F And theres not a damn thing I can do about it. I have been trying to think of a way to dry in my A/C house without stinking up the whole house. My room is fine but I dont think I can contain it to just my room. And I cant have my whole house smelling like weed. But it would be nice to be able to dry it in a controlled environment. Instead of outside in the heat. Any thoughts on that? Other wise Ima have to just hang it in my tent. Ill have circulation but it will still get hot during the day. IDK. I know I am really wanting some taste smelly herb. But may have to wait until winter.


I watered them this morning. I didnt give them the gallon a piece like I wanted to. Mainly because I just didnt feel like it. I know....I know...shitty.....But I just woke up and was low on water.
