Re: Going organic
I reckon you should be getting quicker growth than that though. Didn't you get wet feet though? ...then you let them dry out?
I think it may be worth your while sharing the exact mix you have done to see if it can be tweaked? I'm getting explosive growth with mine so if you want my exact mix then please feel free to ask.
Maybe get them re potted soon let them stretch their feet out a little.

Re: Going organic
But good on for sorting the wet feet, whenever it happens to me they end up dying 
They've got a lovely green colour now.

Re: Going organic
Cheers mate yeah the first 3 just died off on me :( these are another two I potted using the base 3 and the amendment pack. These ones I played on the 10th so 8 days old.DIY.Rik wrote:I reckon you should be getting quicker growth than that though. Didn't you get wet feet though? ...then you let them dry out?

The soil in the two 50L pots is
Worm castings
Sphagnum peat
Buckwheat hulls
Amendment pack
MBP

Re: Going organic
I will share my mix with you, but if you adopt any of it I haven't got exact ratio's or weight etc..... I just tend to go with the flow mixing up.
Then I use a similar watering regime to what you have adopted. I am mostly always giving them something extra every other day.
One day plain water, next day added extra. Fulvic (usually on top of a top dress or Frass/MBP 50/50) aloe vera, coconut water occaisionally but this has a high potassium so better in late flower, humic soluble. MMmmm think that's about it.
- Green Compost(I used merlins magic)
- Spagnum peat moss
- Buck weat hulls
- Worm castings
- Bokashi
- Amendment mix
- Bio Char
- Extra Neem
- Barley Powder and Frass (ecothrive charge)
- Alf Alfa

Then I would start listening to the Cannabis Cultivation and Science podcast by Tad Hussey. Shaping fire has a wicked episode from Chris T. Start with the old Podcasts. Cheap Home Grown too....... I'll see you in a week or two

Re: Going organic
That's unless you haven't listened to those already
I found them all really useful and as I learned more, I go back and listen again a 2nd time, bits I didn't quite grasp the 1st time made sense then

Re: Going organic
I also forgot to mention you may also want to start giving tepid water, so you don't shck the roots. Captain Beefheart told me that and I think that's made a massive difference in this grow I've done.
