Hi, High ! OK, so for anyone who may want to join in this journal
I was already supplied the calculations for this grow; so I more or less have an answer key to check to see if my calculations are correct.
Over the past 2 weeks I've re-read all my journals to see what worked well & what didn't. So I'll be combining things that seemed to work well.... to see if they work well together. Got my fingers crossed that it does.
Anyway, I'm going to copy & paste a couple of posts from a previous journal just as a reminder to myself.......
Mr. S :
The plants are a healthy green and not showing any reason for an increase.
Don't get caught up that because it looks good it must be able to take more. The plant will take all you give it, however you are trying to balance out the ratios and not overwhelm the plant with too much N which will give you issues later down the road.
MC has everything the plant will need from seed to harvest, you just have to make sure that the plant can access all the good stuff throughout the grow.
Mr. S :
No, the package really isn't the best instructions to use. If you use their calculator you'll see that you are at the correct amount for seedlings and small plants, which is 2g/gal.
You'll have to treat MC as a different than usual nute line too.
The Sauga Ends Here
MC will let you know when the plants need more food. For the first little while keep an eye on the older growth's green color. If it loses it green compared to the tops then that's a sign to increase. Another sign you will see if you are feeding light is the start of an Mg def. Here you're looking for the lower fans to be lightening up between the veins which is a subtle change at first.
Listen to the plants when feeding MC and you'll be fine.
Mr. S. :
Try not to get hung up on it being a hot soil, or that there's enough food in it for a month. If you don't feed any plant in FFOF for a month I can assure you your plant will show signs that it's hungry.
I go from tap root direct into FFOF or Miracle Grow Organic and never had a cooked seed yet. I think people drown their seeds and blame the FFOF. I just wanted to clarify that as it gives FFOF a bad rap for no reason when planting seeds.
Any good soil is rich in nutrients. Many prefer to use a seedling mix which I'm sure is another marketing ploy to buy the stuff
There's no harm in feeding MC after the second node of growth at 2g/gal in FFOF. They don't drink much but they sure do like it.
