  • To get an accurate diagnosis of your plant we need as much information as possible.


    1) PICTURE OF PLANT *** VERY IMPORTANT ***
    Nirvana Blue Mystic
    2) Growing indoor or outdoors Indoors3) Watering schedule once a week I am not over watering if anything I maybe under watering.
    4) Growing Medium happy frog 1/4 FFOF 3/4
    5) What stage of growth 3 weeks flowering.

    These two are blue mystic clones from the above taken about 3 weeks ago.
    2) Growing indoor or outdoors Indoors
    3) Watering schedule once every week and a half.
    4) Growing Medium Happy frog 2/3 FFOF 1/3
    5) What stage of growth 3 weeks Vegetative.

    Humidity is about 40% temps at night 67f Temps during light 75F The light was a little close to the first blue mystic, does that look like heat stress to anyone? The little one looks like it maybe spill but I am using all organic medium and nutrient teas. Maybe not enough nutreints for either because I am not using a super soil?

    My tea is made from 1/3 cup guano, 2 tbsp humic acid, 1 1/2 cup EWC, Kelp Meal, and Black strap molasses. Any input would be greatly appreciated hell even criticism I just want to know what i should work on.​

I am thinking Nute burn on both of the plants. Someone on the plant problems forum suggested that. How could I rearranged some nutes or even feedings with FFOF? Is FFOF good for flowering has anyone used it all the way without any chemical ferts just organic?

FF is a little hot to start - so it's possible on the nute burn - but it doesn't have many long term amendments so it's not going to take you through flowering without adding anything. If you want to go water only organic, you need to look at some of the soil mixes meant for it (like subcool's or the Rev's or...quite a few others), collect some amendments and make your own.

If you have room in your pot, get some QUALITY earthworm castings and top dress with that - preferably from local vermicomposter...and learn to make your own. Also, make some teas with kelp and alfalfa meal - just a handful of of each to a gallon of water - aerate for a day or two. Dilute for a foliar spray or dilute and use as part of your watering. Add Aloe juice (unpreseved Lily of the Valley is fine) for a surfactant and dynagro protekt to the mix for some silica to help your plants grow strong cell wall structures. I use dyna gro at every watering and with every foliar...and either Aloe or Liquid Yucca Extract are usually added.

If you are underwatering, you aren't doing the microbes a lot of good. I just put my finger two inches down into the soil and if its not moist, it's time to water. The microbes need to be kept a little moist. 40% RH is fine for flowering although I wouldn't want it lower.

I've collected a few amendments all dry currently. I have high P and High N guanos, kelp meal, worm castings, humic acid. I mean I would definitely love to use alfalfa meal, aloe juice, and yucca extract. Really I want to make my own supersoil maybe follow subcool a bit and then eventually add my own amendments depending on genetics. I want to start vermicomposting too but i love in the north and it is kind of cold where my plants are. Would this have an effect on vermicomposting or even making supersoil? Also I have been using the teas and dropping them ontop of my plants afterward would that be kind of letting it sit to compost at all or would I have to let it sit for a week even after harvest?

Reallly I want to make this setup completely organic and 100% recyclable meaning using the clippings and such for mulch.
