It works great; check my journal. Its pH is the same as just about every commercial potting soil: 6.5 or very close. Why? Because just about every plant in the world thrives at that pH and obviously, they want their product to succeed in as many cases as possible.

Miracle Grow stuff works well. You have to key the right products to the right plant stages, though -- the normal potting soils are too hot with nutrients for young plants. If you're starting off with clones, may not be important. The last set of seedling I ran, I put them in 30/30/20 mix of...

Actually, it's supposed to be 75% indica but, as you clearly saw, I got a sativa pheno. And this plant was partially scrogged - she would've been even more sativa-ish otherwise. I did have a couple males that were more indica.

Coming along; still needs a good 2-3 weeks though.

First, a few more bud shots a little closer in. This is one glandular bitch.. Seeing the pics helps my patience, though - she clearly needs a little time yet. One thing I'd really hoped to do was to keep my fan leaves green late into the grow. Well, I fell a little short on that with the Queen...

Okay, someone said more pics, so... The first couple is the top cola today, and from four days ago. The perspective isn't the same; makes it look like she's added more than she has, but she's still added quite a bit. The next two are from the second tier of colas. The last two are of the...

Thanks folks, for the comments. I'm pretty stoked; my main challenge right now is avoiding the early-harvest temptation. Some of those second level colas would make real nice smoke right now; trying to hang at least one more week or two on them. The little snip I took the other day gave that...

I would make it 1ml bloom to 4ml grow, if it were mine. Thanks for the NPK info, too - that helps.

Way to go, Bigman... stuff is looking nice. Cab looks nice and clean. I looked at the pics before I read and said damn, is that a little seedling showing hairs? Hah - I love it! I'm thrilled with how my 12/12 from seed superskunks are coming along. Have a look at my page if you have the mind...

Big time N deficiency. And no, it's not natural at 5 weeks of flower. That girl needs some N quick. Allowing your foliage to fade prematurely is a major yield / bud hardness reducer. You want to stop that. You need a formula that provides it's N in the "nitrate" form - read your labels to make...

Awesome work, Drella.. those nugs look delicious. And you know me.. I just love skunks. I'll have to try that Hindu (whose strain is that anyway..?). I saw your short-veg sativa experiment a page or two ago -- I'll be very interested to see how that turns out. I'm pretty happy with what my...

Thanks, man... that was a head-scratcher for awhile but, hey, I'm always glad for learning new grow issues and how to deal with them. And again, here was something I've seen a million times in my outdoor gardens but, when seen in the indoor context, it didn't register. I'm pretty stoked for...

I don't know if the rest of you feel this way, but I feel like we are making some headway on this site. I see a lot more people signing on to the fact that stretching plants need N, that going to a 2-1-6 at 12/12 is a big mistake, etc. etc. I also see a lot of people promoting the concept of...

Finished my plan to deal with the fungus issue today. Put the pots up on shims to improve drainage, centered the skunks under the light for a day or two, and treated the worst leaves with immunox powder. Should kick it.. The Queen and one skunk got another watering / feed today. I've gone to...

These plants have "the curl" -- a classic condition that results when MJ plants are run thru the stretch phase on nutes that are too low in nitrogen, and often very high in P and K. When MJ is in stretch, it's adding way more leaf and stem material than bud. That means it still needs a lot of...

All those sizes will take more than a pint per watering - about a quart should do it.

You're welcome. Your identification of that change in plant status is good -- shows you're seeing what they're doing at any moment, which will serve you well. Good luck -- they look great!

Anything that torches your leaves -- too much light, nutes, pests, etc -- reduces your yield by some amount. The fact of almost every leaf damage issue is that, once it's done, you can never have that leafage back. So, all you can do is correct the original problem and accept the fact that...

Those look like 2-gallon (8-10 litre) pots or so? If so, it will take at least a quart of water to produce runoff - a pint is too little. If they feel light right now, I'd water now until you get runoff. I wouldn't go any lower than 25ml. It's a minor overfeed -- don't want to swing too hard...
