Humboldt seeds auto blue dream

I’m showing some deficiencies w my blue dream. I’m using organic soil. Soil ph is right at 7 based off my ph meter. I’m thinking the ph to my water is high. Maybe 7.5ish but I was under the impression soil buffered ph. Under a “600w” vipar in 3 gal pot. And only given blackstrap molasses and 1/4 strength fox farm grow big and big bloom once.

That plant is over watered and over fed. Yes good soil does buffer itself. There's really no reason to be giving molasses.Youd be better off top dressing some EWC a few times to keep the soil live and happy. Also Big Bloom is the only full organic of the Fox Farms trio, you can actually give the Big Bloom at full strength. What soil are you in exactly.

Back off on watering and space out your feedings. If your in Fox Farms ocean forest soil get some cal mag or epsom salt, you'll need it.

I figured it was a little over watered. I tried real hard for that not to happen but if u dont Mess up you’re not trying right? I think the brand of soil is Whitney farms organic soil. Can’t remember exactly and I’m at work til the sun comes up so I’ll check for sure when I get home. On the bag it shows the normal NPK rating plus one for calcium so I assume just some epsom salt would suffice added to the water?. I’ll give it a few more days to dry out and give less plain water next couple of waterings. If using a good organic soil should I really worry abt to ph of my water that much?

Also excuse my ignorance but what is EWC?

If your soil has nutes in it already ((NPK)) you need to share those numbers and do not add any more food until that's figured out. Most likely it's not an extended release fertilizer, but I'm not familiar with that soil. Just remember you are better off to have wilting from under watering than the droop seen above from overwatering. I could tell they were over fed a bit as well. I was puzzled to see how much liquid nutes you were using to feed that heavy.....Now it makes sense that the soil has food in it to. Don't give them any more liquid nutes.....Try to get as much info on that soil as you can ....what's the NPK is it extended release etc etc. biggest thing is to let it dry out really good between waterings and no more nutes added.

Feel free to give that info and we will help you accordingly.

EWC earth worm castings.

I've grown their photo Blue Dream. They like lite nutes.

Nah there isn’t any extended release. I’ll get the info on it when I get home. And that’s odd. I found a few journals on grow diaries and a few of them said they like heavy feed. Input received though. I’ll keep you guys updated. Thanks for the advice! Also, has anyone ever put earthworms in their soil while the plant is growing? In theory should make the soil better but what do I know.

Well what do ya know. A simple google search found the NPK. it’s .09/.08/.09 and .02 calcium

My Blue Dreams were fed half what i normally red others and was nice. The fact that she is auto as well means they are lighter feeders. Also soil usually has enough nutrients for 3-4 weeks. You shouldn't be adding anything to them. In soil(ill never grow that way) dont wayer untill the pot is lite and as long as you stick youre finger first knuckle deep and its still wet dont water. Your also wrong. Doing more isnt a sign youre trying. Less ias ALWAYS more. More is hurting the plant.

stop killing with kindness, trying to help to much, not good, at such a age
