Oh man...they look hungry :(
Well at least you will still get something out of them tho! Sorry they are not bigger!
Even being that young? I germinated them and put them out about 6 weeks ago. I made sure they got some food tho for sure. I’m actually just very surprised They are even alive, they were tiny tiny when I put them out.

Lol this was my first out door grow and everything went wrong, the plants I was vegging turned out to be autos so that killed that plan so I had to throw these out last minute. I was actually impressed lol still am! I’m proud of these little fighters, they didn’t see rain for two weeks after I put them out. I was home doing rain dances and shit praying for them lol

I'm think Happy Frog Fruit & Flower Dry Fert. (4-9-3) will work best for my small, outdoor needs. Thanks for the tip. I'm on it tomorrow.
I used roots organic uprising bloom. A great mix of bloom ferts in there. They stopped making the happy frog bulb food that I was using for years that was a 3-8-8. I was so sad they DISCONTINUED it. After a lot of research I landed on what I bought.

Either way... I hope you have an amazing season and happy harvest!

Had to go out and spray some silica... will get pics tomorrow of all of them. View attachment 4600266
Beautiful plants! I have a question about spraying silica, How often do you spray it? Do you spray the full dose? I was thinking of spraying some on my outdoor plants to strengthen and try to prevent bud rot. This year the weather is really wet lately. Do you think it would be good to mix like a half dose of silica and some actinovate or Monterey disease control and preventatively spray every week or so? Thank you!

I follow the directions for foilar feeding. Every brand is different, so def look up your brand and find out for sure. I spray once a week.
Now as far as that and flower and rot.... here is the thing.... you dont want to spray silica in flower. Lots of ppl say it makes the bud taste funny. In fact I'm changing a lot this yr....my last foilar feed of it has already happened and from now on will only get root drench....plus on top of that adding high ph and actinovate together might actually harm the benificial bacteria. Never thought of that before until a member brought that up.

So from here on out I will only be spraying with the benificial bacteria.

Interesting. I've been doing 1 tsp. silica per gallon every 3 weeks or so (along with aloe vera) as foliar spray. Plus did a couple root drenches with same.

Makes sense not to spray on flower. Maybe I'll do one more foliar next week then call it quits for the year.

Yeah I've heard users saying it made their buds taste like plastic

What rates do you use for soil? I’ve got some Pro-tekt and can’t seem to find an accurate rate for it. Heard anywhere from 1.5-5 ml/gal. Does it actually help for bud rot?
Silica is super high In ph... this is why it's a good thing to spray during veg because it will help protect against pm and other fungal issues.
Bacteria and fungus needs a more acidic enviroment to thrive in. This is why I'm going to test out just using the fungicide for a bit to see how it all manages.

Hey there, I saw on another thread that you were using southern ag fingicide this year. Naturally I copy catted. Wondering if you’ll be using it directly on flowers as a precaution, or just in preflower (or is that not necessary?) Best

I already started... and yes I will be using the whole time. Even if we dont get rain ...the buds are soaked with dew every morning sooooo... might as well do what I cant to prevent.

Spotted some PM this morning on some leaves so I went to work with it this morning too. Good luck thank you
I foilar feed silica once a week to prevent PM. I did my last feed of it last week and started doing the fungicide....
Sorry you got that....hopefully you can get it under control!
