Organic growing advice

thanks for getting back to me my friend.
I will definitely try that method next time.
the thing is though, the canna terra pro already has enough npk to see it through the first 4 / 5 weeks so adding to it might be way too hot as its hot enough as standard.
maybe like you said, making my own soil with different amendments might be the best option. I think i’ll leave the palm tree ashes out next time though as npk 0.1.30 might be way too much.
Maybe some kelp meal might be a better alternative.
Ive always given it ewc tea with molasses and epsom salts just before going into flower.
Ive now only got 2 weeks left until chop and many people have recommended to stop using molasses for last 2 weeks of flower as it can have negative effect on the bud quality.
I dont know what to believe as many different pro’s have different opinions.
Id imagine there’s enough charge left in my soil to see me out this last 2 weeks so im just using plain tap water ( i use vitamin c to extract any chloramine and chlorine ) and i try and ph the water to about 6.3 using lemon juice. Although since this issue with the plants ive suspected that its from ph raise about 7 so now phing to 5 / 5.5 to see if it balances the ph out in the soil.

just thought id update you on the grow as its near end. 8 weeks flower for white widow and hifi 4g and 9 weeks for blueberry.
But trichomes still look clear on all plants so i was wondering whether i should chop now or give one more week ? Will the trichomes still develop and turn cloudy / amber even after the chop with the drying / curing process ?
ive attched pics of 3 buds, 1st pic is blueberry, 2nd pic white widow and 3rd pic hifi 4g.
Any feedback is much appreciated and thanks for all the advice over the last month or so

Give it a couple more weeks. They will fatten up and pack on more weight if you let them.

Thanks my friend.
The only thing is the blueberry is already completely yellow. Can the yellowing spread into or damage the buds ?
You're the best judge since you're looking at them in person. But it sounds like they're just cannibalizing themselves a little for the extra needed nutrients. They look good though.

I'd say let it ride, smoke a bowl, and check again in another week, lol.

Lol thanks very much brother. Thats what im going to do
From your experience, would you say its just as easy to harvest prematurely as it is to harvest late ? Ive read some articles and some people say to harvest when 50% trichs are cloudy and 50% clear because the trichomes will still mature even after chop. I dont know what to make of this info and whether its a load of crap to be honest lol

yeah they are eating their reserve
dont wait to chop every day they spend yellowing they also lose in taste/power
more they yellow more they will taste like yay

The problem is that the trichs are still clear even though the blueberries are yellowing like mad. I think i will chop next weekend.

Hi guys,
Ive harvested now and was just wondering what ideal temp and humidity would be please ?
Im in uk so humidity is generally around the 50% mark but my plants are hung up in tent, the temp is 22•c and 40% rh.
Ive put a humidifier in the room ( not the tent ) to bring it up a little so i can get to 50 - 55% rh.
also ive opted for the dry trim as Most of the research ive done points towards dry trim as most pro’s do it and apparently has better smoke so ive left fan leaves and sugar leaves on until dry.
Any feedback And advice would be much appreciated and this is the last time i will be hassling anyone for anymore info lol. Thanks guys.

hi mate, hope all is good with you
im currently on my second grow and was wondering if you could give me some advice if you’re not too busy please ? All info is below...


Just a question regarding organics.
I started my second ever grow from seed just over a month ago. I started in 1l pots and let the seedlings roots fill the pot before transplanted straight into 7gallon / 30l fabric pots in canna terra pro which im aware is already charged and will take you through the first 5 weeks of growth without having to feed. however, i also decided to premix dry amendments to each pot as id read that organic dry amendments can take up to 4 weeks to actually be usable for the plant. So i figured by adding it before transplanting, by the time the 4 / 5 week came, the canna terra pro nutrients would have been used and now the amendments i added will start to be used by the plant. for the first week or so i watered very carefully, knowing that the new seedlings root zone wouldnt be developed enough to use up all the water in a 7gallon fabric pot, so watered bit by bit until the plants got bigger and more established.
Its been about 3 weeks since then and the plants are getting bigger and I've now started watering right through, watering approximately 2 gallons water through each fabric pot ( 7gallons ) and that seems to be perfect, leaving me with about 10 % run off which the plants drink up within 30mins / 1 hour after watering anyway. When watering i firstly neutralise the tap water by using an organic pure vitamin c product called ecothrive neutralise, which instantly removed chlorine and chloramine from tap water. i fill up a 5 gallon bucket and mix 1 tbsp molasses, 1/2 tbsp epsom salts and i ph with bio bizz organic ph down to a ph of 6.5.

Ive noticed what i believe to be nutrient burn on the tips of some of my leaves on the new growth and was wondering if any of you organic experts could give me some advice please. Do you think it could be any of the amendments i added that are having a bad effect on my plants and if so will my plant grow out of it ? Im still in veg but want to flip to flower after 1 more week.

The dry amendments used and mixed into the canna terra pro 7 gallon pots were as follows......

60ml bat guano ( guanokalong ) 1.10.1
60ml seaweed powder ( guanokalong ) 1.0.1
60ml ecothrive charge ( insect frass ) 3.2.3
Lavaworm volcanic rock ( guanokalong ) no npk.

light used is a lumatek zeus pro 600w led.
ive got it hanging at 50cm from canopy at 50% power. I keep the temps at roughly 25 / 26•c and rh at approx 65 / 70% rh in veg. Although you’ll notice my temps dropped to 21.5•c in the pic as im based in uk and had a really cold day today.

ive attached pictures and any feedback would be very much appreciated thanks guys

Your plants look ok,If anything you may need some Mg as you can slightly see some yellowing starting.Foiler spray with epsom will do a treat.
