What's up! A Friend of mine just finished a cookies kush plant indoors. Has a really nice flavor! I my self have a cookies kush clone and a critical kush clone growing in a greenhouse, so might get to see in my own journal in the future! Anyhow, my recommendation for you is this! Ground cover! First, get a couple bags of compost, and worm castings. Spread the compost and wormcastings concentrated at the base of your plants perhaps an inch or two thick. Then spread a few pounds of dry organic soil amendments into the layer of compost. Kelp meal, crab meal, neem meal, alfalfa meal. Your choice. Then what you need to find is 'seeding mulch' it's essentially straw without seed. With this mulch, cover all soil that is exposed to the air and sun. You may also want to Turn the raw ground into a 'living mulch'. To do this simply spread seeds of a typical 'cover crop' under the seeding mulch and keep moist for a few days. The mulch and compost will go far in reducing your watering needs and will help maintain the biology in the soil thereby increasing the vigor and health and yield of your plants.

Nice! Looks like some of the stuff I grew in my greenhouse last year. Mine originated from bagseed but was pure lemon when it finished.

Anyone know the problem I'm experiencing here?

Anyone know?

posting pics and some details bout this years outdoor and greenhouse grows. Plants, for the most part, were started under lights in the second week of april, and got planted in their permanent home on june 1st, with the exception of some clones and some late started seeds to replace unwanted males. greenhouse plants were started in 5 gallon buckets in fox farm ocean forest soil mix. Bottoms of buckets were cut off and placed over the natural soil to allow roots to expand into the dirt. during transplant a hand full of bat guano 9-3-1 was placed at the rootball of all plants, greenhouse and outdoor. Outdoor plants were placed in 15 gallon boxes 2 plants per box, filled with fox farm happy frog as opposed to ocean forest with the exception of one box using just a plain pro mix without mycorizae or added ferts. 6 boxes to start and these also had no bottoms so as to allow the roots to expand into the natural soil. 5 other outdoor plants were grown individually in 15 gallon holes dug into the natural soil and each hole was filled with one 2 cubic foot bag of happy frog starter soil. Watering is done with the rain and stanky well water high in sulfur content, whos ph is unknown. Raw amounts of dirt and fertilizer used for this entire grow without regard to individual plant dosages were. 60 gallons ocean forest, 165 gallons happy frog, and 15 gallons plain pro mix. Fertz used were 2 pounds down to earth 9-3-1 bat guano, 4lb bag of fax farm 8-2-6 premium lawn, 4 lb bag of fox farm 5-5-5 all purpose, 4lb bag of fox farm 5-8-4 fruit and flower, 4lb bag of fox farm 3-8-8 bulb food, 4lb bag of fox farm 4-4-5 rose food, few cups of down to earth azomite, about 4 lbs of down to earth bone meal 3-15-0, 5lb bag of down to earth crab meal 4-3-0, a 5lb bag of down to earth kelp meal 1-0.1-2 and some small dosages of fox farm grow big 8-4-4 liquid fertz and a few small doses of 2-11-11 awesome blossoms liquid fertz and 1 feeding of about 150ml of black strap unsulphured molasses 15ml per gallon (didn't like how plants reacted) early in flower. Feedings were done about every two weeks by top dressing into my buckets/boxes/holes, and occasionally additional fertz were thrown around the outside of the boxes/buckets onto the soil below them. on avg. each plant was given about half cup to a cup when fed, depending on size and by my personal judgement of what the plant needed. the general order in which i fertilized was a transplant feeding of bat guano 9-3-1 1/4cup, bout two weeks after were given fox farm premium lawn 8-2-6 1/4 cup. Another two weeks and used the rest of the premium lawn and leftover bat guano. another two weeks go by and i decided to fertilize with about a half to 3/4 cup crab meal 4-3-0. Feeding needs started increasing and during late july-august while still in veg they were given feedings of additional leftover crab meal approx. 1/4 cup. Also, fox farm 5-5-5 bout 1 cup early august and fox farm 5-8-4 1 cup. right before transition in middle august. Each plant was additionally given a few tablespoons of azomite for trace elements around this time. Also, greenhouse plants were given a ground cover of 1 whole bag of fox farm rose food 4-4-5 in a planting area approximately 70 sqft. to enrich soil under my buckets. to start flowering phase I mixed parts of fruit and flower 5-8-4, bone meal 3-15-0, azomite, fire place ashes (k2O), crab meal 4-3-0, and bulb food 3-8-8 together in a custom mix. Each plant was given 2 feedings of this mix approx 3/4 cup each feeding. First week of september and I used leftover bone meal as ground cover around greenhouse buckets and outdoor boxes, approx. 2-3 handfulls ber bucket/box. A little left over bulb food 3-8-8 was also added to each plant no more than a few tablespoons each. 2nd week september early yellowing was noticed on a few plants (pro mix plant was the worst one) and so a few plants were dosed with fox farm grow big liquid fert 8-4-4 10-15 ml/gal and given 2 gallons each. Today, september 21, purchased kelp meal 1-0.1-2 and was perfect because early yellowing extended to a few more plants and slight potassium deficiency was noticed on my greencrack and east coast cookies. Another reason for the kelp was i read potassium should be higher than phosphorous in late flower and because overall potassium was low throughout the grow, especially when compared to amounts of phosporous. I also read it contains good growth enzymes which im hoping will help fatten up my buds here in the last few weeks. Greenhouse plants were given 1 cup kelp, outdoor bucket plants were given 3/4 cup per plant and individual plants got 1/2 cup. Plants will recieve no more fertilizer for the rest of there life cycle. 3-4 weeks depending strain and weather.

Day 40 flower. Some plants under lights, some getting fed and watered.

Perfect! You gave em a little bend! Now do it like 1 or 2 more times it'll fill right in. Maybe trim stuff that gets choked out from the light if it gets too dense. I like the bend method where you slowly bend it a little bit inbetween each node doing everything I can too not kink or rupture the stem which can cause undo stress and invite other problems. I will also do this to lower branches too. When you utilize tying topping and bending effectively you exponentially increase the surface area exposed to direct lighting. Which essentially means your plants are just going to grow bigger faster and with more budding sites. My theory is pretty much the earlier you start the better.

Hey man, thanks. the strain is East Coast Cookies and yes they're under t5 lighting. It's now day 40 things are doing okay. There are some spider mites but theyve been treated and haven't been seen for 2 days. They were never too bad. Well see what happens. One plant got taken outside to stay and the rest got bent out a bit more. I don't think there's gonna be room to get it back inside. W/e see what happens.

Quick update. It's coming down to the last few days till everything is cut. I'll try to get some nice pics before the cut since there's been tons of improvement since my last post. Some plants aren't fully finished and would benefit from another week or so. A MAJORITY is just about fully ready. 3 have already been cut, hung to dry, then placed in paper bags. Pics to come.

Were on the east coast over here haha. But I used a tiny bit of grow big fox farm but very little And a tiny bit of awesome blossoms liquid feet and no I don't really have a flush method per day just stopped feeding last week of September and let it rain and water with we'll water inbetween. I read organic grown stuff has very little salt index comparatively and that it builds up much slower outdoors. Azomite I do think has some salt content. And fire place ashes I think do but idk too much. They were used a while back. From what I've seen this year, I would recommend supplementing nitrogen to the plants, all the way through till middle September or even a bit later. Either crab meal, some nitrogen guano, or feather meal in moderate amounts. Plants that start to 'Yellow out' before September 20th I noticed produced much smaller buds, and seemed to need extra time to finish.

Strain is East Coast Cookies. East Coast sour deisel x Girl Scout Cookie

You say I targeted him like im aiming a gun at his back. No, he made a claim about my room. I simply say, he knows nothing about my room. He chimed in on the discussion, hes not an innocent bystander, he was not 'targeted'.

Awe are you one of those special snowflakes? I didnt violate the rules. I called you a turkey. Relax. And ya I said jankahar must not know anything, because he's telling me I wont yeild what I already know I will yeild. Hes acting like he knows something about which, he knows nothing. Thats not an attack or an insult or a violation of any rule, either. Hes not my omnipotent elder just because he has 500 green plus signs by his name.

Dude, looking at buddies pictures hes got 8 plants which maybe, maybe, will produce 8 ozs. Were gonna find out in the next 45 days whos right. I guaruntee there will be 12-16ozs from my cfl grow. In my picture is a space 4x4ft. In that space there are 9 plants. Each plant has 12-16 budding sites or more, think what you want.... Haha, Im Sal, its interesting, you say I talked down to the grower. No, I made a sound suggestion to help him increase his yeild. Buddy said my canopy is empty. Hes clearly blind. And now he says i wont yeild 12-16ozs he clearly knows nothing. Quite honestly it matters not what I know about mapito, your plants could have been trained to produce more budding sites and thats just a simple fact. Im not saying you must veg for 30 days im saying a few extra days in veg to allow the plants to branch out wont hurt you. I told him he sound like a little kid cause he acted like a kid. He critisized my plants. I never assumed he just "threw them in there." and i never spoke down to the grower, you turkey, I spoke down to the person who spoke down to me first. And what the hell are you talking about? delusional self superiotity? After readig my comments on this anf other threads? What the hellbare you talking about. Youre delusional

These plants had about 30 day veg and in the pic is day 25 flowering. Room is expected to yield 12-16oz

uhmmm yeah I want to see it. I wanna grow and smoke it too.

No i didnt prepareveg and bloom soil like i said my feedings were done by top dressing. Simply afded the nutes to the top of my soil and watered them in.

Emailed my info

Also, when making super soil, consider biomimicery. Blood meal (animal blood) by product is not naturally found in high concentrations in natural soil. Earthworm castings, however, are found abubdantly in healthy soils. Personally I used fox farm happy frog with mycorrizae as a base medium. I transplanted with a handful of bat guano 9-3-1. (extra phosphorpus is good for making healthy roots in young plants) My first fertilizing was done with a pre mixed bag of organic soil amendments. It was Fox Farm Premium Lawn 8-2-6. (potassium boosts hardiness, sturdyness, and plant immune system) My next fertilizing was done with Down to Earth Crab Meal 4-3-0 (also high in calcium). Transition feedings were Fox Farm All purpose 5-5-5 and FoX Farm Fruit & Flower 5-8-4. For full flower feedings Ive given them feedings of Fox Farm Bulb Food 3-8-8, bone meal 3-15-0, a custom mixture of crab meal, bone meal, azomite, fire place ashes, FF Bulb Food, and FF Fruit&flower which was mixed to be 3.1-7.5-5.4 and most recently were given kelp meal 1-0.1-2 after noticing early yellowing (nitrogen deficient) and early purpling (potassium deficient)

Yeah, you have way too much nitrogen and not enough of everything else. Blood meal is 11-0-0, the bat guano im used to is 9-3-1 or 10-1-1 earthworm castings are 1-0-0. kelp meal is 1-0-2. If you suspect potassium deficiecy ita probably a nutrient lockout or actually deficiency. cann twrra bloom is 2.1-1.7-3.4...next time replace blood meal with crab meal. and replace canna rerra with bone meal, for a more diverse and less potent vegetative mixture. Id also find a source for abundant potassium. Search Subcool supersoil for a more complete and properly ratiod mixture. For future reference, when making a soil shoot for a veg micro ratio of 3-1-2 and a bloom micro ratio of 1-3-2. You can read my outdoor grow journal in the ourdoor grow journal section Titled Dank Cali Bagseed NY Outdoor. I used a phlethora of similar soil amendments throughout my grow mainly through top dressing and have had great results. Theres a few paragraphs explaining exactly how and when my plants got fed along with plenty of pictures to demonstartae current results.

I mean what ratios and how much of each amendment did you use? The burnt tips might be caused by high nitrogen. if your bird guano bat guano and blood meal were all high in nitrogen id suspect that is your problem.
