Sub'd Go, looks like you have a lot of work on your hands....I agree with Puffntuff, dont add shit till your plants tell you different. they will let you know when they want something....Learning how to read your plants is VERY IMPORTANT!

Peace

As for nutes go with dynagro foliage for veg and dynagro bloom for flower. Dynagro is cheap and has all the stuff you need. Dont fall for the snake oils. They just want to separate you and your money.

Alright finally after a year or reading and listening meeting and seeing the great site here and the Roll it up folks i am really stoked to post my own grow thread. The weathers been great and I am on my second year of being a patient and its been the best two years of my life. This grow will be in all my control unlike the failure of my last thread.

So heres a snap shot of some inspiration that came in my the mail with my order. I will be posting pictures of my soil clones and everything. Happy Growing To all More to come Real soon! Here is my little piece of California!



Good luck man :)

Looks good man, as far as your nute question is concerned... you already have a very great soil mixture, you don't really need much. I think you should give the first pages of this thread a read, extremely helpful, and taught me a shit ton about growing:
https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/24703-its-all-bullsh-t.html
On page four he shows what he uses to get huge ass trees... It's all you need.

So far it's looking good man. Biggest thing about growing is knowing when to grow and feed based on when the plant wants to be fed and watered. Being able to tell when the plant wants to be fed and watered really comes from experience. Happy Growing man!

Hahaha....I just wish I could buy clones where I live. Your clones are huge.

Hey there brother....You asked me to stop by your thread and offer advice on vegging nutes. You know what I would do is find someone who knows outdoor growing and has pics to prove their craft...read everything that these people blog about. I really dont know that much about outdoor growing. I do know that dolomite is hella cheap and useing peat based soil its gonna be acidic. I would be liberal with the pellitized dolomite. Nothing worse then a soil grow with low ph lockout. If it were me...I think I would make up something similer to supersoil and do it that way....way easier to not HAVE to feed them and just let the food in the soil do the guess work. Make some big giant 30 gallon aact teas and feed the micros in the soil. It may be to late to go that organic. You look like you have a good handle on it bro..if I can help somehow I will chime in your thread and will be watching your beauties grow up.

Much much excellence is being represented with your work kudos. The soil mix should last you for at least a month, I would feed water and occasionally molasses until I see new growth turning a slightly lighter green which means that more N should be fed at that point. But its never too late to go organic, idk if you have nutes picked out at this point but i've moved beyond buying bottles for the most part, I'm big into compost and alfalfa tea and the results speak for themselves.

It's basically running aquarium airstones through water mixed with a couple handfuls of compost, all the beneficial bacteria and microbes multiply because your providing them with an optimal environment. The poster above mentioned AACT or actively aerated compost tea and there right its by far the ultimate in organics. Drench the soil, apply it through foliar spray, use as much as you want its only increasing your soils health and helping your plant resist pests, diseases and pathogens. Alfalfa and kelp can be added for micronutrients and high phos guano can be brewed up as well to give a kick during flowering.

Either way the plants and everything look great I just thought id share what I find ultimately works best to keep the plant healthy and get the tastiest harvest

Hey thanks a lot everyone! I love this RIU family and the support behind everyone. Really makes me feel great about what i have done and how far I have gotten. Ohh and I cant wait till October. I need to do some watering today my step dad said my 5 gallon bucket is not nearly enough water lol. I am just like ughhh time to get another 5 gallon bucket since i am letting my water sit outside for 24 hours.

Also I need to work on getting the drain holes in today so I dont get any root rot so its very important I get that done as soon as possible. Yea i talked to a grower friend last night on the phone and they said the flora nova is so thick and not like water like the botanicare stuff. So i might run humboldts or advanced nutrients or the flora nova. Really hard for me to choose!

More pictures coming soon! Keep it up everyone! This year is going to be a great year!

Can't wait for pictures... I wish I could have mine in my backyard... but I have to do it guerrilla style because im still at my parents, even though I have my card. I just made a new thread for my grow that should be on the second page.. With a mediocre video to go along with it.. Good luck!...
Btw, how much are you trying to pull from your plants?

You said you were trying to prevent root rot, hygrozyme is an excellent product that keeps roots healthy its also used to prevent pithium in hydro systems. It basically speeds up the decay process of roots that have already died off therefore providing more nutrition to the plant. As far as organic nutes go I can attest to Blue mountain organics and General organics both being of high quality
