  • Hey, sorry what do you mean by synthetic or organics? I’m using a purchased “organic” super soil mix from bluesky and haven’t done anything other than possibly over water with tap water.

    • First let me say welcome to WP, I love organic soil, sativa strains and people that grow organically as I only use organic inputs when I use soil.

      I’ll probably talk your head off man an I’ll have a few questions but from what I see she’s got either a iron or nitrogen deficiency. If you have a ppm/Ec meter can I ask what ur tap water runs at.

      Also do you feed ur soil carbs/sugar or give compost teas? 

      And I should have asked this first but Do you plan to grow with organic inputs or are you willing to use synthetic nutes in ur soil.

      • Thanks for the welcome, I have been lurking for years on here and learning and reading from many of the posts and figure if anyone can help it’s the people on this site.

        As for what I have going, it’s all been off the top off my head. I have no readings or anything. At this time from replies I’ll be going to get a ph tester to check my tap water, because all I know about it is it keeps my teeth healthy and it doesn’t taste like shit. 

        For my soil I was mislead by the title of super soil and also a little uneducated in the terms of what it takes to bring a plant to full growth. 

        Ultimately I want to grow organically as I live in a place where marijuana is legal recreationally and many of the suppliers products are over done chemically and many hurt more than a cigarette to smoke. So I want a simple and clean product to smoke. 
         
        Any advice you can give would be wonderful, my current plant may be out the window for help but I would love to grow more as plants are one of my passions and the only freedom we may have is being able to do things for ourselves.

        • You done good with the super soil man. But the tap waters got to go, there are all kinds of minerals and chemicals in that shit. My best advice would be to get a small tarp and a 30–50 gallon trash can outside and collect rain and use that water, I promise you it will be the best water you have ever used except for maybe RO water that stuffs amazing.  

          but for this plant you could give some recharge or a compost tea and feed it something like a liquid organic fertilizer, don't use any dry kind cause that stuff takes to long to break down for where ur at in flower.
