I know we're always trying to be optimistic. And I know you're not in it for an argument lol of course I don't know I have never worked at a seed bank to know! I'm just basing it off good 420 edicate is all...I could be wrong but I just know either way, the freebies have done me well-past prime or not. Merry Christmas you guys!!! At least we can be happy with the end results regardless and smoke some nice home grown over the holidays
Freebies, I would imagine, are great for newer growers like myself who can get some more practice and take a chance that you might have to pull the plant for one reason or another. But it may very well be a great plant that produces nice buds. It reminds me of when you go to a dog breeder for a puppy, and if the puppy is not show quality, the price is reduced dramatically, even though the puppy still will grow into a loving dog with the "wrong" colors.I know we're always trying to be optimistic.

Very well put RM!!
Haha..I hope clanger = good. If so, I'm ready for some clanger grows for sure! Merry Christmas to you and yours also @Trala
Look at how beautimousFlower day 19
2 days since water/feed
So as typical, I was impatient and did defol yesterday. I can't say if they look better or worse but it looks like there will definitely be more light that penetrates through. It looks like I have less buds than I thought because the plants look like they lost a ton of weight.
Hi RM!
Hey @MrSauga thank you for reaching out so quickly. I have only been giving them MC and 10ml of DIY Calmag per 1.5L of water. After I add the Calmag and then the MC, I have been adjusting pH to 6.4 -6.5 which is down from about 7.4. I have been feeding every water which is about 4 days or so.
Forgot to add that I am in soil. Happyfrog, Oceanforest and Perlite.Hey @MrSauga thank you for reaching out so quickly. I have only been giving them MC and 10ml of DIY Calmag per 1.5L of water.

OK, so do you know the Ca and Mg content of the DIY stuff? I'll need to know the percentages of N, Ca, and Mg to try and work something out.
OK, that's fine. With FFOF there is no need to adjust the pH. Save your money. The soil is buffered which corrects the pH for you. If you are feeding lots of ammoniacal N then you may run into issues after two or three uses of the soil, but if it's fresh you don't have to worry.
Your plants look like they are about three weeks into flower. Are the pots getting light before you water them?
This is the problem I have with that, is that I would not know how to calculate this. It was the cook the egg shell and let ferment for 3-4 weeks in apple cider vinegar method. I don't know if I am overdoing it or not.
I was struggling about 4 weeks in Veg and thought it was my pH was too high. My tap water is over 8. I got some pH down and it seemed to be doing better. Not sure what else to attribute it to. I think I'll continue to keep it at 6.5ish unless that is going to be a problem. I don't mind, since I have it already.
Yes, I am abouit 20 days into Flower. I usually wait until the leaves start to get droopy and then double check by lifting them and yes they are lighter. I could probably go an extra day, but they definitely do not feel heavy.
Not just you, but many others. If you have no idea what percentage of Ca and Mg you have then it's hard to find the correct diet. Ideally plants want a ratio of 2 to 1 of Ca to Mg. So if you plants were getting 50 ppm of Ca then they need 25 ppm of Mg. DIY is great for organic, but since I don't see really any reason to use it, my suggestion would be to purchase a bottle of a calmag supplement whenever you find you have the opportunity. IMHO.
No need to change. I was just pointing it out. Some feel comfortable adjusting it which is fine. Can't hurt anything.
Your plants look fine tbh. I wouldn't change anything until you adjust your watering frequency. During flower your plants should never dry out. They should never droop or sag and the pots should not feel light. Increase your feeding frequency and lets see what happens
No, in fact it's probably happy.
I'd suck it back up too if I was thirsty.
I will go get some today. How much should I add to my regular feedings per 1.5L of water? And should it be with every water?
hmmm.. ok, I'll up my MC to 6g / gal equivalent with some bottled Calmag for next feeding which will probably be in a couple of days.No, in fact it's probably happy.
I would hold off until you see what happens first with the increased watering.
Just to be clear. I don't think you need to add more food yet. You just need to reduce the amount of time between feedings. The plants will be using lots of water during this period. It's important to make sure you keep them well watered.
