Just started first soil grow, just asking for opinions.

TheSnake · Apr 28, 2014

Well for starters, separate each plant you have in that bucket now. They will choke each other. Put each plant in a separate pot.

dave and Em · Apr 28, 2014

I absolutely understand that, but that's what has to be done at this point."broke". I've done hydro, never soil. Do they at least look healthy at this point?

and how much damage will I do whilst trying to separate?

TheSnake · Apr 28, 2014

They look healthy, the damage to be done while separating is necessary, they will fuck each other up forever while joined. Either cause some root's to be severed and go in with a scooper... OR submerge that whole thing in water, and as the soil drifts away and separates, gently tug them away from each other. There roots are already tangled i bet, so be gentle, if some break off, its whatever... Its just shock, they can take it. Your better off putting them in solo cups forever than you are keeping them with the other girls, TRUST that. Do this as soon as you can, as the bigger they get, the more roots, its more of a mess and causes more shock the longer you wait to do it.

Is it 8 plants in there? I think my count was 8. oh wait, 9... separate them ASAP. When i first looked at the pic i thought it was one plant that was bushy / trained, then i noticed the growth pattern was that of a seedling just in multiples. lol

I get that your broke, many of us are. Is this outdoor or indoor?

Snake your awesome bub. I'll do it tonight. I appreciate you brother man

Just like with dro, ph is also important with soil... 6.5 not the 5.5 your used to. Also what soil are you running, how long does the bag say it feeds for?

TheSnake · Apr 28, 2014

If the soil is only good for a month or so, you'll need to add something later. If its like miracle grow and feeds up to 6 months all you will have to do is add your ph'ed water.

ProHuman · Apr 28, 2014

You have never done soil before..
... What Soil did you opt to use?

dave and Em · Apr 28, 2014

Rite now I opted for black gold, ph is st a solid 6.6. And this is an outdoor. Unless weather is too bad

And I'm using gh go box for soil

Had to google that, so a general hydro go box with essentials. You rocking this guerrilla style or someplace close by? It's going to be a bitch in a half to cart water if your doing it ape style. Just like with dro, you ph adjust after you mix nutes. Soil is very forgiving though, since you are used to dro, you got it on easy street... You probably could have saved money and not even bought liquid nutes. I looked up black gold and it seems they have several varieties, which probably have different feeding times, For soil, I would recommend making sure the nutes in the soil are gone before a heavy feed of that juice your rolling with.

From your screen name I'm guessing you account for two growers? You really have it easy if that's the case, two brains are better than one.

Your biggest problems will be wildlife, and insects / bacteria. Then maybe the strain if its a toss up, make sure to scan for hermie's, even outdoors (if you can get to it, i know most guerrillas cant get to it everyday like us indoor folk, or people who otherwise have it close by). I recommend killing an animal and putting the carcase a few yards / meters away from the garden, and leaving it to rot. It will deter many vegetarian animals from venturing near by (the predators of marijuana grown outdoors, ESPECIALLY DEER) . The bigger the better, if it stinks too bad, put vicks or some vapor rub on your upper lip before tending to the garden, it works for the morgue, so it works for that too, lol. Also because it is outside, and subject to pests daily, I would spray them once every week, or two with something to irritate bugs, and kill on contact. Alcohol + soap + water is a good one. It fries a lot of larvae and smaller insects (at least indoors i know for sure.)

Hope some of this helps friends.

It is indeed very close. I'm open to any suggestions. I'll first start by separating of course. I'll be back tomorrow for update. Big thanks guys
