No nutes newbie

ANC said:

Heck, you can go out and collect kelp and dry it yourself.

You could look at the BIOBIZ line of nutes too, they are organic.
Their nitrogen base is basically a fish emulsion.

If you are doing soil, learn to steap 24 hour earthworm casting tea, and only feed that to your plants.

Thanks. I will look into making that tea. is it possible for me to also add some kelp, dried fish bones to the same tea? I also have chicken, cow, goat manure.

Thankful and grateful to all the members so far in replying. Never thought I'll receive replies with information and advise. This is a great forum and I wish I had come here earlier. But better late than never I'm open for all your expertise and advise.

I would honestly just buy a fish hydrolysate. Making anything with fish is not worth the stink unless you have a big yard.

oh, I don't think I can find that over here. But I just took a stroll in my garden now and noticed so much of worm castings. So I will take your advice and will top my girl and will make the tea. I can't really tell if these are earthworm castings but they most certainly are some worms in the lawn.

No, you will either need to make a worm farm and get red wrigglers (ordinary earthworms don't like worm farms), or go pick some up from a local nursery.
It is cheap, it is just what is left after worms go through stuff that needs composting. Of course, vermicompost is only as good as the input, but so far I have been lucky.
You can order Biobiz fish mix online.

Understood. Thanks again. I will keep you posted.

If you choose to use whole fertilizer material as opposed to liquid, make sure you use a "brown fertilizer" not a "green one". For example using mushroom compost instead of manure. Both are cow shit just that the mushroom compost is fully composted. Outside green fertilizers are fantastic because of how teaming they are with bacteria, and the way they breakdown overtime. Although indoors is a very different story. The fertilizer ferments,breaks down and releases gases. It not only smells like "shit" but creates a ton of heat in your pot and will turn anerobic real fast. Peace and happy growing dude your plant looks pretty healthy.

Thanks dude some useful info.

Hey guys.

Just to give you an update and also to get some advise. So I did find an organic seaweed fertilizer which I started using after topping her and I see new growth and she drinks up quiet alot. I also believe this can be because of the humidity which is a bit high. But I have an issues of old leaves yellowing and eventually dying. I have started removing them and I fear it would have an impact to the plants life and health over all. As to what it is? Im not sure as accodring to researching it seems like a overhaeat problem or a nute burn problem but I'm wrong I guess. But before I started my nutes I did notice it coming. I have removed around 3-4 dead fans leaves over the course of two weeks. Attached pic is from day 65 and you can notice the yellowing. Any advise will be appreciated.

Do you know your ph?
Do you know your ppm?
Nobody has any clue without that info.
Stop pulling your crap leaves off aswell. Its making it spread faster.
Check your soil.

This is the pic. The pH seems fine around 6.7 but how it turns yellow is exactly how it is in the pic and then the entire leaf dies. The next leaves are ok.

Hi thanks for your response. I manage to finally upload a pic. Let me know what you think. Soil seems ok a little dry since I have not watered in a few days.

Hi Guys.

So just a quick update. I'm now in my 3rd week of flowering and while I do battle some deficiencies, I'm hoping I have something to look forward to. Again my ph seems to be the hardest to keep track of without a proper ph pen nor availability. But I did take @ANC advice and topped her. I also found an organic seaweed foliar feed and she did react well to it taking her own time. Humidity seems to be high due to the climate at the moment. I have added some dried banana peel in the soil and I regularly spray with some Epsom salt. Water when the soil is dry every 2-3 days usually. Plan to stop feeding her the seaweed foliar feed after one more round.
I have attached some latest pics and I'm curious to know what you guys think and your expertise on how I should continue or what I shouldn't do.

Please see attached.

Check your local pet shop for a pH test, make sure of the range the test covers, only some of them cover a useful pH range.

I did check no luck but I'll keep trying. Overall what do you think so far based on what you see?

Its small but it is a girl.

So where does that leave me, sorry for asking?

Anyways I can improve bud growth?
Is 12 hours of light absolutely necessary vs 12 hours of darkness? I could never have found an answer. I understand 12 hours of darkness is necessary although I'm not certain if a few hours of darkness in addition to the 12 will be beneficial?

What do you guys think too? @Smok3yMcChok3y @Tim1987 @blake9999

.. looks hungry, the Chinese guy next door used urine in his garden, they peed in buckets in the house all winter apparently and then they poured all over his 150 square foot garden, then it would stink for days. Finally enough people complained and started using Miracle Grow (that's civilization for you), you could look into using urine but I don't know the mixture ratio?
-good luck
