My First Grow Journal

[Backyardigan]

its a lot easier to update one journal every day or so than several... I suggest separating your journals out by grow, not by individual strain unless you have one that you really want to highlight because it is special somehow.

Like a triploid or Siamese Twins

@Sparkey224 hey give your 2 cents anytime they always look like they are growing the first 2 days after I water then they slow down so I'll try to give them less so I can water more

 

[Fastass419]

Hey guys please look at this it looks like nuke burn they only thing I have been giving them is floral spray. Do I need to stop

here is a pic of spray

 

[Fastass419]

I cut the top off this 4 days ago look at the growth

 

[Emilya Green]

I know I wasn't called in as an expert or anything, but I am curious if you have read my watering guide and my studies on the wet/dry cycle? It seems you are having some confusion about the proper way to water and I think I can help.

 

[MrSauga]

It looks to me like it's lacking food. You are starting to show defs becasue the plant is not getting what it wants.
Now having said that.. I have no idea what that floral spray does to a plant.

 

[Fastass419]

Well I gave it that real growers recharge tonight so maybe I'll see what happens in a couple days but I got food for it so if its food then I can feed it

 

[MrSauga]

Eventually you'll need to feed. Again, there's 30 days at best of food in that soil to keep the plant happy and I doubt it will take you to that.

Yes I have read it twice I thought I was doing it right. I think my big problem is I up potted to a 5 gallon and I should of went into a 1 gallon so when I water all my dirt and fill it like a sponge there isn't enough roots to drink it quick enough. It is taking 7 to 8 days to dry

 

[MrSauga]

Somebody else already posted they used that soil and the feed guide. Are you at the stage that it tells you to feed based on the chart?

Ya I was waiting on these signs so now I'll make up a feed. Not really sure what all I should put in it. I'll take pics of everything tomorrow that I have and if I'm missing something maybe you guys can let me know

I'm only 21days in but I have the liquid squad they say to feed it

 

[MrSauga]

Well hopefully the other guy can lead you becasue there's lots to do if you're going to go by the chart. I'm not sure I can help you with the nute lineup.

 

[MrSauga]

Keep an eye on it. Like you said, wait to see if the recharge does anything at all and make a decision after that.

yes, that is a problem, but easily solved. Every 3 days do a partial watering of just the top, trying to give just enough water to soak in only about 3-4 inches. You do not want extra water to have to drop to the bottom. Water this way out to 3x the diameter of the plant, and by the time that measurement hits the edges of the container, the roots should be strong enough to be draining that container in 5 days or less. Follow the 3 day rule until the top and bottom sync up and you can just water the entire container each time.
Doing this will keep the plant metabolism up, and it won't stagnate like you are seeing now. You should immediately experience more rapid growth.
Another minor thing... dirt comes from the ground, outside. Soil comes from a bag.

Morning all its 420 time to fire it up

 

[Sparkey224]

Good morning brother!

Hey @Fastass419 .you are doing great man!
Plants are looking great man compared to your pervious grows. @Emilya .write up on watering your plants is awesome.
I think once your watering is nailed down you will see more growth in veg and more buds in flower.
That recharge is going to help.
Great job brother

 

[Fastass419]

@Sparkey224 look at the pics @MrSauga says she is showing first nutrition diff you think i should start the liquid squad & plant feed. I have some turp tea to .

or anyone else I'm really in the dark when it comes to mixing up a feed

 

[PCaddict]

Hay Fastass part of what I Love about Doc Buds kit is there is no guessing what you need when, You don't even have to PH water. You just alternate the two drenches each watering and do foliar sprays every 10 to 14 days and get Great results. If you are going to stay with LOS MrSauga and Emilya are your best resources. I would read through their journals and any tutorials they have or recommend. Things are looking good so far.

 

[Fastass419]

I used the turp tea last grow and plants seemed to be ok but I want giant buds so I read throw all of it after I get of work
