Thank you so much for the honest criticsm. I appreciate all the ppeople who follow along and say 'nice job' but I like to know what I'm doing wrong better so I can improve my technique. I wish I could take credit for trying some kind of special feeding technique, but truth is I'm just kinda winging it. I water-water-feed but I added some 4-3-2 chicken compost to the soil and I wasn't making adjustments in the fertilizers. I grew the plants 12/12 from seed too for the first time which also threw me off. I couldn't figure out how important N was in a 12/12 from seed program so I think I over-did it a little. I've heard from a few people that nothing is wrong with the plants, but I'm pretty sure the leaves aren't supposed to be all twisted and clawed.yeah i'm in agreement with that. a high saline medium will block the passage of K, causing the plant to become K deficient. hence the necrosis on the leaves. obvioulsy a K deficient plant will then have trouble taking certain micro's... etc, etc.
seems to me like you do it right right up till the mid-point of flower and then are just going too far when you need the K. by the time you get to mid-flower there is such a build-up of salts that K is slowed and this is losing you out on yield. critical feeding is a dangerous game, i know because i've played it many times. get it right and it's a bumper harvest, even slightly wrong though and it has consequences. i actually still play that game, LOL... growing is meant to be fun too.
Don't get stuck in the bullshit that says you need to up your feeds each time... fuck, i can't remember what medium you use now... but if in soil, then you can feed intermittent plain water feeds, slightly alkaline. this will help balance out the medium. proper medium management is important... it's about the soil. i got to take my kids to school... i''ll get back to this later.
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me. I have to as kitty to change the thread name. I have a little rodent running loose somewhere in the house and it actually ate my three nev's haze seedlings. You believe that shit?The plants are fine m8. Just power through. Ive yet to do a grow where something hasn't went right. I just kinda skimmed the last 35 pages. Where is your Nevs Haze? Great plant to grow but takes forever
No, your totally right. For some reason I continue to fertilize even after I enrich my soil. The chicken manure was 4-3-2 npk and the soil is enriched to last 1-2 months alone so yeah I'm probably over ferting it. The funny thing that I am running completely organic, but I'm just now getting acquainted with it so I'm making stupid mistakes. I'm just gonna give them plain water and EJ catalyst for a few weeks.beanz a you could also just stop feeding and go all organic, just use beneficial microbes and maybe molasses, the fert in the soil would break down and feed the plant at an almost perfect rate if you do it right, then you can let the plant choose when it wants food. only saying that cuz you got mg and chicken fertz just mg is supposedly supposed to have nuff to go through a gro that + mixed in fertz could mean over fertilization but i make my soil never had to do Mg before so i could be wrong .
I'm actually planning to use the plushberry to learn hydroponics better and do that for a while. I love organics but I need money badly and I anit makin any growing only for head. I'm gonna let them veg under the T5 for like 6 weeks and then take clones from them all and run a ebb and flow SOG setup. I wanna stick 30+ plants in 4" rockwool cubes under a 1000 watts (1x600w & 1x400w) in a 4'x5' space. Things are coming together now for it too happen in the next few weeks.i think you might find organic kinda fun but mistakes cost you more been wanting to go n buy some chem nutes and start some plants up to see the diff ,

I'm planning to go chemical infused with organic teas. Consider that Plushberry can be a 55-63 day strain, there's room to make some cash. My family is struggling and I got bill collectors calling all the time. Moms is getting old too and she didn't plan for her future soI gotta do something so that she doesn't live in squalor when she retires. I know I sound greedy wanting commercial to make money, but my intentions are pure.
I'll probably do an update today so keep a look out
Some people look down on commercial growers because they don't cure the weed before they sell it and don't flush. They figure they all cut corners to make as much money as possible, but I won't be like that. I'm gonna actually dry and cure the bud right and I'll be flushing too.get that eye of the tiger man^^
lol who the fuck would think you are greedy? trying to take care of my moms is the main reason i am gettign into it. Fuck that..i wanna have a good life man, and working a 9-5 aint fr everybody. When you crop out i know some heads that will buy off you...shit you might even know some of them already hahah since we all lived so close.
thanks man.nice update beansly lad
