[The Aspie Toker]

The soil is Verve with dolomite added months prior. Mixed in some Ecothrive when filling the pots.

They've only had the following...
Water.
House & Garden Amino Treatment (early on)
Bio Silicon
1ml of Oldtimers grow. (shared between 3 plants)

Last few days...
Foliar feed of calmag and later on, seaweed
Seaweed (soil fed)
OldTimers NPK 2/4/8

Iron is and Mag are the other two possibles that will do the curly dried out leaf thing.

The problem is coming fron the light guys I am 100% sure...they look exactly like mine. They have been fried by the intensity of the led panel. Turn it right down, maximim distance from plants. Feed wise i can't say for sure in soil BUT if they were mine I'd give them one full strength feed, rhizotonic and calmag

Hi mate,

The lights are already down to the minimum (around 94.2w)

What's the minimum amount of time to let water to rest?
I normally leave it a good 24 hours, but I don't have time on my side. I won't do it tonight, so it will be a minimum of 12 hours resting water... or will that not be long enough?

I have at my disposal...
OT grow and bloom.
OT PK
Maxicrop seaweed
rhizotonic
cal-mag (for foliar only)

I've not long come back from the polytunnel where I keep some well rotted horse compost. I've mixed it with some ecothrive and can top up the plants with that before I flush them. What do you think?

What ml and feed do you think I should go with, mate?

[Bulls]

I wouldn't personally flush them.
I'd top up with ecothrive,
Mix feed with:
0.5 ml per L calmag
3 ml per L rhizotonic
Full strength recommended dose OT Grow

The above mix feed through thr soil and also fill a spray bottle with the same mix and and give them a proper foliar feed.

I've been watering my plants with water straight from the tap and thet are perfectly good so your water staying for 12 hrs is perfectly fine

Thank you for that. One question though. I've never soil fed my plants with calmag, only foliar fed, as it's not organic.

Strange one this Aspie as you say your light is on low setting. My immediate thought was light being to intense. With that ruled out and looking at the new pictures i would say they are locked out due to a ph issue. Then being sort of organic and looking at your feeding watering it would be unusual.
Personally i would flush 3 x the pot size. Once done i would add your normal strength nutrients.
Oh just another question does the seaweed have a NPK Ratio on the bottle?

Hi mate,

It is a strange one. I've never had plants this bad before... and taking so long to start flowering.

NPK is 5-2-5 but I used it after the issues started.

I did the worst one last night. Not a flush as I felt the water hadn't rested long enough. I already had approx 14 litres of water resting (more than 24 hours) so used that - 3 litres worth. I also added some compost of top (well rotted horse manure) mixed with ecothrive.

I am fretting over it as I don't have enough as it is to last me till this crop is done, and by the look of it, this future crop won't last me till the following one. I can't handle being without.

I dont understand why its organic to follier, but not to use in medium?

It doesn't hurt the microbes in the soil.
