Should I just harvest early?

[RedhulkGrower]

Ya that should help a little. Top dressing with EWC would be good too. But those need more than just that probably. Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed is good too during times that that.

All I can say is those are starving. If you don't plan to reuse your soil you could use chemicals to get them nutes faster. I reuse mine, so I don't use chems.

If I buy some chemical flowering nutrients do you think it would help them enough to get through flower? Or are these girls pretty much toast?

So you think I should just chop say this weekend? It is what it is kinda deal?

I say don't chop. Feed Them. But that's just what I'd do.

try to keep em up for 1 or 2 more weeks but really might not add much tbh

Ya it will help whatever you do as long as they get some food soon. Chemicals are what you want if you're not gonna reuse your soil. They'll work almost instantly.

The plants are starving and stealing nutes from the leaves to give it all to the buds. The buds don't look bad. I would feed them and let it ride, even if it's just some Neptune's Harvest which is good shit but won't work as fast as chems.

I should mention I am on week 7 of flower(51days) to be exact, am I at the stage where the leaves kinda shade any way? But I will go ahead an buy a bottle of flowering nutrients

properly fed plants shouldn't fade til late late flower 70+

Get GH flora series. FLORA BLOOM and FLORA MICRO. cheap and super effective and easy to use.
Mix 1:1, id reccomend hitting them with 1250ppm or better soon as possible

 

[HydroKid239]

Yes I am on day 50 of flower

@kovidkough would any of that recharge still be active? Or would adding it now just be like starting from scratch?

I used Azos and Mycos for my microbacteria. Not sure how long it takes to grow a colony though. I would mix a good amount into the soil, and add more periodically to the feed.

assuming there is no bennies left its been along whole while, plus if you fed any tap water with chlorine or chlorinated anything you will hinder the population, pretty much have to be super careful in true organics because you can't see your living soil

 

[kovidkough]

I usually add recharge to soil a month before I planned to use it, I left it in a bin and added enough moisture to keep the beneficial bacteria alive. then when I need soil for starters or 1gal pots it is all ready to go.

 

[kovidkough]

to the OP, id research into the micro herd more and ways to keep them alive and well stocked. I prefer salt based for ease of use now. I no longer grow organically out of laziness honestly, its alot more work then just watering its constant preparation for the future

Yeah everytime I mix soil, I always let it sit for atleast a couple weeks in a bin to turn and grow.

Don't buy into that shading thing. I try to keep mine as green as possible until the end. I'm trying water only no-till so I starve mine too, but on accident.

Those are starving. Feed them.

The can fade a bit at the end, but most of what people think of as fade is just starving plants.

So based on all of this information, is it possible that these leaves were already too far gone when I added the tea? And that the bud sites might actually be getting enough nutrients to continue growing and that I'm just seeing the previously affect leaves continue to get worst?

You've definitely messed her up lol
Your yield will be compromised no doubt
But if you can get some synthetic nutes in there quick, you might be able to give it a little more life

yes, exactly.
The leaves were never going to recover, thats not what leaves do.
Just focus on the buds, are they growing?
If the buds look healthy then keep them growing until complete.

Mykos or mycorrhizae should be applied straight to the roots.

There's water soluble ones but if the fungi doesn't make contact with the roots it won't work.

That's why when most of us transplant in soil we add Mykos to the new hole and rootball.

With no-till you won't disturb the fungal hyphae network as much, and so it's not as important to add more.

But it's really not needed to grow plants since there's already fungi soil.

Right, mine had directions for soil feed, but I also layered it into my soil mix before I let it cook before the grows, then added some between transplants.

Who are the 4 of you that said to harvest in the poll?

Asking for a friend.
