I also got some nutes the other day that are organic I believe. and it comes as little pebbles? lol it is 5-10-10. Is that okay? or should I stop using it? Can get back to you with specific brand if needed.
Also. I figured I'd list my plants. Right now I've got: Bell Peppers, Broccoli, Savoy & Head Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Fennel, Garlic, Onion, Tomatoes, Strawberries, (Heart Of Gold) Squash, and Zucchini.![]()
All are doing pretty good except the Squash was getting really yellow. After I added the bloodmeal the squash plants are getting greener already.![]()
A couple bell pepper plants are in question too because they've had some bad leaves.
Planning on adding Potatoes also, but they will be in a growbag or a garbage can or something where I can keep adding soil and get alot of taters. x3

^^^ Wait until your plants start producing pre-flowers or mini fruits to apply and your plants will love you for it! A 5-10-10 is good for fruits and veggies but only when they are starting to produce and have a bit of age. Top dress with it and you can also just put a tablespoon in your teas from time to time. Just be sure that your plants are alternating between nutes and plain water

That's one of the things I've been pounding into my head, alternate nutes & flushing.![]()
Started a small 2gal or so batch of compost tea with nulife compost, it has some of most kinds of compost, and i threw in a handful of mushroom compost aswell. 2 handfulls of nulife n 1 handful of mushroom compost. 2 days and i'll use my first compost tea!![]()
is my compost tea also good for my Cannabis?
Thanks again TexRx, You've been a ton of help!
^^^ NP! Compost tea is good for cannabis, yes. The same applies. It helps treat & prevent disease plus it rejuvenates the soil. The bacteria and fungi feed and it breaks down some soil into parts that are easily absorbed by the plant. Plus, these benefitial bacteria & fungi will fight against the bad bugs. It's kinda like the compost tea becomes full of benefitial insects. You can add nutes to your teas and if your MJ plant gets to a decent size (like 2 ft) it can start to handle some pretty heavy feedings..BUT, you need the right Ph, which is around 6.8. I strongly recommend adding some granulated sulpher into your cannabis soil mixes. You can also add some apple cider vinegar to your teas to add some acidity + some micro-nutes

my tomato plants leaves are canoeing, what's wrong with it?
^^^ Post a pic.....it could be too much food or its outdoor conditions...Also, how did you plant your tomatoes? Because whenever I plant anything, I take the existing soil and mix it with 50% compost or landscape mix and then I add some of the kind of plant food the plant will want- tomatoes want high phosphorous nutes+ the last number should be higher than a 3. I'm not sure I like what you are using for mulch. Cedar mulch is best. It can act as a bug repellant....and lastly, it could be some kind of problem in the root system
If you are still new to gardening, relax....cuz you are going to make some mistakes

I will tell you what my secret weapon is, Reppinhigh,....It's these below. This is a soil moisture meter. It can go 12" into the soil and tell when to water. Some will also tell you light and Ph
This is the most important gardening tool I have and they are like $10-$15......I guarantee it wil help you get your waterings just right. Very, very, important
Choose your supplies wisely to conserve money. A lot of gardening is learned by trial & error. I've made numerous mistakes and I've had to re-plant a 35 square ft garden cuz I got it wrong

I used my compost tea for the first time today, can't wait to see the results.
I forgot to take a pic of the tomato plant to show the canoeing, sorry.
Yeah I'm gonna have to find a fancy meter with ph, moisture and temp.
garden pics tomorrow probably.
