My very first grow!!

[naomi]

thanx a lot celtic!! its always nice to receive compliment!! =)
As for #3 well...i know! hehehehe

So my plant are now about a month old! they seem to recover pretty well from the pest ive been watching them really closely and im pretty sure they are back on track!

this week my plant #1 and #2 have start losing the 2 round leaves ((cant remember the name in english sorry ))
so im gonna start feeding them!

ive read a lot and kinda understood that for veg. its better to use a fert higher with nitrate (first number)

i think my plants growth has slowed because of these leaves turning yellow and getting ready to fall. So the fert might help them a lot with that problem.

HIGH All, yes naomi...Also feed them at least 1/4 of what the recommended dose is and then at each feeding bump it up a little more. You never know about your Mutant it might give you the Biggest Buds out of All of them.

What were you useing to get rid of the Thrips?

[naomi]

couldnt find any neem oil or spray or organic stuff. And i was working at a hardware store so i made research at furnishing and nobody ever heard of it. Since i had to act fast i used some raid (spray)for flying insect. Since these pest have to be destroyed by a contact poison! i ve been very carefull on the leaves and tried it out on some other plant i have to see how the leafs react.
i also disinfect the whole room (not only the closet) and the whole room been treated with the raid also.

i read that its almost impossible to get rid of all thrips so i still watch very closely but have not seen any otherfor the moment

at first the leaf did not seem to react well lots of brown spots on the leaves but i havent seen any new spots for 3 days and they are turning yellow so i guess thats the healing process or something. all the new leaves are small and not really growing for the moment but there is no mark at all on them, healthy green and strong stem! i think its positive since thrips like the new grown leaves.

since im gonna transplant in a few days i was wondering if these pots could do fine..

they say its self watering pot . you just put water in the hole



and the band at the bottom of the pot does the work




anyone heard or tryed them???

[unoit]

HIGH All, yup heard of them and used them...just not for our sacred herb. It's the lazy man's or women's way *LOL* of growing. Best if leafing somewhere for a couple of days and don't have to worry about watering.
Wouldn't hurt naomi.

[naomi]

hehehe

thanx a lot unoit!! i try to follow everything you say! youre like a god here ;p

The plants are looking really good Naomi grats! You have worked very hard to keep them going, it seems that's what it takes sometimes.

I was going to suggest repotting soon as that might be some of the reason the growth is slowing down. Not sure but can only help I hope. Keep up the good work . . .

Gg

[naomi]

thanx a lot goonagrow!! glad to see youre back!
cant wait to see how girly turns out!

im planning on repotting this week, probably tomorrow and ill start feeding also. i think those two might be enough for my plant to grow.
the temp is about 26 celcius and humidity around 50%
i should start checking ph maybe...

HIGH All, *LOL* far from it my friend *LOL*...just someone who loves to help people grow our sacred herb. It's people like you who makes me want to help. Thanks for the kind words.

[naomi]

so i went to the store today and bought some new soil since im repoting and also bought ferts since im gonna start feeding it.

couldnt find any sunmix #4 so i bought promix seeding mix wich i think will be better than the old one.

fert: no nutrilife of stuff like that so i bought bioGro green plant fertilizer seaweed-based 3-2-1

is it good??

[celticweedlover]

Drink it and find out! lol
3:2:1 sounds alright to me anyway with the high N for veg!
Good luck!

[naomi]

i surely wont drink that it smells aweful!!!

but i did repot them...in the lazy-o-pot hehehhe
but i dont think im gonna use it
i have a hard time figuring out how to fert them if i aint really watering them.. so ill use the good old way!!

i have use 1/4 of the fert dosage and i think repoting went fine.
ill try to post some new pic tomorrow!

Good to hear, promix is very acceptable as a soil base, it would be my second choice to Sun Shine Mix #4 if I were on a budget. Good stuff. As for your fertilizer, it sounds alright, a little on the weak side but it's all good. Can't wait to see the pictures. Keep up the good fight.

[naomi]

what is wrong with my plants now

leaf margin is dry, curlin in, crispy, browning.
isnt it like overt fert!!

on the bottle it says 30ml/L
i put 3ml/500ml was that too much?
not to forget that my fert is low its 3-1-2

or is it the pest problem again... no new silver spots on leaves but maybe its like a secondary effect or something!?!..

second strange fact! my mutant is the most affected by that new problem but its the one thats been the less (almost not) affected by pest.
