Your first pic looks like the beginnings of a Ca deficiency. Are you on tap water or R/O water? I had nasty CaMg deficiencies until I switched back to tap water from R/O.

I use 6 bags of Roots and 4 bags of Light Warrior as the base for my super soil. Two bags of Biobiz light mix is like, 3.7 cu ft. Four bags of LW is 4 cu ft. Close enough for me.

How long did you let it cook? What variety is this plant? Some plants just can't take the heat.

Awesome, good luck.

^ I agree absolutely. Don't forget that N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and all other elements the plant uses for growth are all technically not organic. They have no C in them. The only difference between liquid mineral ferts and organic soil is that the micro life in the soil breaks down the organic...

And if you want to keep it 100% "organic" I suggest citric acid or apple cider vinegar for pH down.

My water comes out of the tap @ 230ppm and pH 8.0-8.3. Pretty high. I bubble for at least 24 hrs to rid the water of chlorine and then add Gen Hydro pH down to 6.8. Doesn't hurt the micro herd at all, my plants are just finishing up beautifully in super soil and look like they will yield nicely...

As long as you have the same volume of container, it won't change much. I've heard people rave on and on about those Smart Pot style fabric bags, but I tried them and didn't notice much of a difference in soil. I think they make a bigger difference when growing in pure coco coir. The only...

I think people have different definitions of what flushing really is. I was always taught that "flushing" is an emergency method used to leach excess ferts from your medium and stabilize pH when you've over fed or are locked out. This isn't the same as cutting off liquid ferts two or three weeks...

The problem here is you're posting in the organics forum. Flushing is pointless in organics. And it's also pointless when you're using mineral ferts if you can resist the temptation to overfeed. All you gotta do is stop feeding them a couple weeks before chop and the plant will consume the...

I'm in 7gal pots and I water every fourth day at peak flowering. I just use the good ol' "lift the pot" method to tel when they're thirsty.

Super soil isn't really that low in K. Roots Organics has kelp meal in it already and has a lot of coco coir in it. One of the natural properties of coir is that is provides a significant amount of K. Which is why coco specific nutrients are formulated with less K in them.

You probably missed a stress nanner somewhere or maybe some leftover pollen from a previous crop. I think every pheno deserves a couple of runs unless she's a full-on lady boy. Then it's compost fodder. No light leaks?

The girls look like they're about a week out from chop. I have a buddy coming over to snap some nice pics sometime before harvey. Good luck with Ripper, brother. I've grown her out before and found the Pink Lemonade in a ten pack. It's amazing smoke and an incredible painkiller for a sativa dom.

Wow, way to be a douche. Facts are facts, drowning your plants with shitloads of water because you've overfed them makes you look stupid. And so does calling someone a moron and a prick, especially regarding a post that old. There is a difference between flushing and simply cutting off the feed...

He does make mention of adding pH down to his water to get it in the optimal range. I believe the video is on his YouTube page. It probably doesn't make a huge difference, but what the fuck? It's easy as pour, mix, and look at my tri-meter. So I just do it. Probably a residual habit from...

One batch finishes out two harvests for me. If you can't spend 200 bucks and some sweat every four months, something is wrong.

If you can swing it, drop the coin on a 1kw for veg. You're ladies will thank you buy exploding into big beautiful bushes. Hortilux Blue rocks. There's something very special about it too, because the girls veg amazingly fast under the blue, much more so than a regular MH.

I'm on municipal water, 220ppm @ 8.1 pH from the tap. I bubble it in a large trash can for 24 hrs to evaporate the chlorine and then I add Gen Hydro pH down to anywhere between 6.5-7.0. I have to turn off the bubbler for the pH to remain stable though. The pH down evaporates very easily if I...

That's a ridiculous price. I'm hesitant to tell you whether you'll be fine because I really have no idea. You can drive yourself nutty wondering, but there really is only one good way to find out. Grow in it. Just make sure you cook the stuff for a good month before use.
