pretty much i dont have much of a selection around here, but i want to do it properly this time. would like to maybe get some regular soil and flush all the nutes out? so i can go in clean? i think that might have been my problem before. would like to go completely organic too, not a fan of chems lol
i have looked for the worm castings but cant find them anywhere
Have you looked into online orders crusher? I know it will cost you xtra for the shipping but your obviously aware a change needs to come. Make the investment now so you can get to growing properly. I know the frustration of being inexperienced and ill prepared, let me tell you it feels good to have things running smoothly in the grow. I say search ebay for soils and do lots of homework. And don't be afraid to ask these guys anything they're awesome. If you gotta fork out another 30 bucks for shipping then eat peanutbutter and honey sandwiches instead of grabbing some on the go food. Thats what I do.
Looks like you and me have similar issues sourcing stuff bro. If you can't find ewc you can substitute with a good organic compost while you get your worm bins going for now. Ordering online will be hard with Aussie customs. I read up a bit and pretty much anything alive or organic gets stopped. Not a bad thing, it is a very sensitive ecology and they are doing what needs to be done. I will get onto my PC in an hour or so and come post some suggestions my thumbs struggle with the phone...
You can't import live worms from the USA to Australia mate. You can't have any organic stuff sent to the country from abroad, really. The reason is that Australia has one of the most sensitive ecologies on this planet. Anything foreign can cause a shitload of trouble when introduced. Pretty much everything that has been introduced from somewhere else has become a plague. Unfortunately ordering from US online stores is not an option for him.
Do you have room in your yard to start a compost bin/pile? If you want more info on this just say the word.
Do you dilute the teas? Can I see the exact amounts of the amendments per gallon? I know it's against the grain in organics but I get a rough ppm range for the dilution of my teas. I think you have overdone it with you teas. I use teas once every 2-3 weeks. Mine are always 1:1 max. It's just my way.Came to my organic guys for my problem. Some of my fan leaves are turning yellow, and getting some brown spots on them. I'm thinking it's some kind of potassium toxicity, or possibly a phosphorus deficiency. Just need some help IDing and solving.
Plant is 3-4 weeks into flower, the problem is located around the upper middle part of the plant.
I've been feeding it blooming teas, just a starter recipe including seabird guano, high P bat guano, ewc, molasses, and Maxicrop.
I feed every 3rd watering with tea.
Let me know if you need anymore information then that. Thanks
I never dilute my teas. The recipe is 2 cups of dry mix, (seabird, bat guano, ewc) with 5 tablespoon of maxicrop and molasses. I planned on making another batch today and when it's done in a couple days I can test the ppm.
The problem with teas is that people start to use them as they would conventional bottled ferts. I know I made the exact same mistake in my last run. I posted the pictures up about a week ago to discuss the problem I had and how I am handling things differently. Post #1232 on page 124.
Alright. I'll go back and get out the post. So a couple more plain waterings then feed with a diluted tea.
