McLoadie's Third Grow Journal

[BigIrishDoode]

another reason u cut the calmag is to much mag will have your weed burn like a road flare! man nice desk unit i can build some shit but damn nothing like that im more of a scavenge and refurb to better than new, i suck at blueprints ,not half bad at fabrication, you must have some sweet tools, if you say you made that with a skillsaw and sander your a god among men!

IDK king john, I've heard various things, but I have no experience with the devices.

Gophers, Traps, nice wood work and Cal/mag!!! Lots to talk about! Didn't know that about the cal/mag.. 3 weeks before harvest..? I like to add a tsp to each gallon every time I feed nutes. Seems to keep me outa trouble!

 

[mcloadie]

I got one big male mouse just after lights off! I watered today with 2 gallons water, two tsp. calmag, and a sock with 1 tbsp. dr. earth flower girl in a sock bubbled for 48 hrs. and 1 tbsp. molasses....all's pretty well, but I can see a nitrogen deficiency starting. I'm going to add piss next watering and the water goes to 8 cups per plant.......I wanna see a little runoff now......and for shits and giggles I'm going to Ph the runoff and see what's up.........I've never used these nutes before and I am giving them at full dose. I'm using fox farms three part flower regimen if anyone has any tips or suggestions.....good weed everyone and happy weedend!

well I like fox farm nutes very much. that is what I started with and never had any problems other than my 2046. that was my fault and didnt study up on sativa growing. I never used more than 1 cap full of each to a gallon of water. as a matter of fact I need a new bottle of GrwoBig. make sure you wipe the mouth of the bottles off after use or you will get the lid cemented on from dried flacky stuff

LOL fishy, I have little sample bags, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon, one dose a week. I am a little concerned about the N, so I'll hit em with the urine treatment so the numbers don't get outta whack.............my brain doesn't work normally fishy....somehow I get a number thing going on to achieve a balance that somehow I've decided might work.....LOL, and I had a good shot of the mexikush this morning....at 60 days in the jar it will be exotic! It's not a skunky greenbud kinda trip.....it's like a spicy Colombian with a hint of mint and pine....today!

 

[fish cake]

sounds tasty!
didnt know FF came in sample bags LOL

My local friendly grow store owner hooked me up with them, and my reasoning is; if I put out a sample of anything I wanted to sell....I would make sure it was the best.......you know, cover the hook with bait.....then WHAM!, right in the kisser!

 

[fish cake]

well IMHO its good stuff

 

[Barney]

Pow!

Tiger Bloom and Grow Big, are not 100% organic. I have been adding plain water first, then the FF flower nutes to prevent root burning. I always need to PH mine UP. I think the cal/mag and molasses with bring the PH up but not sure how much.

From the FF website:

Two of our liquid fertilizers, Tiger Bloom® and Grow Big®, are also not 100% organic. Our soluble products, like Open Sesame®, Beastie Bloomz® and Cha Ching®, also contain inorganic ingredients. If you use too much, you can burn your plants. Remember when you use these extra strength, time release fertilizers: Less is More!

Also, a helpful hint when feeding: always make sure that you water first, so that the soil is moist, then feed. This will help prevent possible burning with any fertilizer you use.

I'm still seeing a nitrogen deficiency so instead of pee I gave em a pretty good shot of triple sixteen, if I don't see improvement by tomorrow I'll start workin on lockout. I have never grown these plants this big before and they're acting a little different. Usually the sativas don't want as much nutrient as the indicas, but I'm seeing the opposite and right now I'm trying to determine whether they are hungry or locked out. I'm using different flowering nutes this run and every time I do this I have to learn em all over....they are all different, just as much as they are all the same. Buds are growing nicely, chlorotic leaves are showing at the tops of the plants on the fans, and I have seen these plants wanna drop the big fans at this point in flower. Another mystery to be solved, but I believe this is the best budset I've ever had. We have trichomes on all the plants except the mexikush, which is no surprise........they always show up right on time, but later than the indicas. The Yeti is a lovely plant, a classic sativa form, but it seems to have more trichs than sativas usually do....the buds are almost as fuzzy as the indicas.

Congrats on your grow so far.
