Lve2toke: Soil, First Grow Journal 2020

[Lve2toke]

Sprayed them again with the neems lastnight... the smell wooo!! My next question is I've seen some people feeding molasses....
So tsp a gallon every few days ??

 

[Fredwak]

G'mornin Lve I'm only a noob but if you are using distilled water maybe getting some Calmag would be something to think about. I'm growing in coco and I know it's really important for my gardens. Your girls are looking good!

 

[Lve2toke]

I've been giving them small amounts of calmag when I feed.....
Can I feed the molasses when I water and or when I feed....... Thanks guys

Molasses is for feeding microbes in the soil. It has no effect on the plant directly.

 

[Lve2toke]

I have microbes so that will help them. Also the research I've done said it does more than that lol something about helping with salt deposits and helping with flavor. I'm just gonna feed it to them every few waterings/feedings at a tsp a gallon

 

[Pennywise]

If you have microbes breaking the soil it’ll help boost the critters.

[Lve2toke]

This a deficiency?

 

[Pennywise]

I worries for now it could be genetic

 

[Lve2toke]

[Pennywise]

Looks good, use those leaves in a salad.

It might be stagnant water ? So for me ..no but if there is a river flowing into it , that's different.
Also i was nosing in on your journal and you were talking about molasses.
I use it in every feed once I start giving neuts.
It gives it a sweet taste even after a flush.

Happy growing

I use it every couple to three feedings they seem to like it fine. I'm going to the lake and I'm gonna ph the water and see what it comes up too

I'd be interested to know what the reading is. I've got a lake near me I might be able to draw water from.
Thanks for that. Every day is a school day.
