Coffee Grounds(grinds) + Crushed Egg Shells For Nutrients ?

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Vpeezyyy[tiktok], Jul 21, 2021.

  1. Been reading / watching alot. Wondering if i should bother trying to use coffee grounds / crushed egg shells for nutrients etc. Growing in Happy Frog soil - Just transplanted about a week ago. Plant can be seen on my page on my other *1st Grow* post - i cant take new pics right now (no phone) Anyways, Im in Happy Frog soil - i look up alot of shit online & HF itself says you can just use this soil all the way through from seed to harvest. Also says "it has everything, no need for additional fertilizers etc." Personally i would prob still add nutes etc. but right now im poor as fuck & life sucks fuckin cock so i cant do shit right now lol. I can only work with what i have on hand which isnt much. So anyways - Coffee grounds & eggshells ? Worth it ? Not worth it ? Should i : just mix in the coffee grinds by hand into the top layer of soil then water ? Or should i try & mix the coffee with water & make a sort of "tea" & water the plant with that ? The eggshells by the way, im probably going to add that in seperatly either into the soil itself or really powder the fuck out of it & try & mix with water. Anyways bros, idk, its my 1st plant so yeah i would deff love to figure out a perfect regiment for me, some things that i would always practice / do to every plant i cultivate, so yeah max yields & max shmoke - deff trying to grow this plant to be the best it can be, quantity, quality & all that. But also not that worried about it, 1st grow so i just want to grow *something* so i can learn shit. At the same time tho i gotta try & perfect it too to the best of my current ability, she is a female, & probably a really good strain so i deff want to try & grow a decent amount of some danky danks. Also if anyone has any job openings at a cannabis facility in NJ let me the fuck know - i need to be a grow master one day.

  3. Happy frog has less of a nutrient charge then Ocean Forest and it damn sure won't last the life of a cannabis grow. 3 weeks is my take on FFOF 2 weeks on HF.
    They need FOOD. " Feed Me Seymour".

    Egg shells take way to long to do you any good NOW when you need it.
    Coffee Grounds = Ehhh You can try them.

    Mix some into the top layer. Make a mild tea.
    Caution Strong stuff. High Nitrogen. Best in veg.

  4. Im currently in week 5 ever since sprout in Happy Frog. Idk why tf everything on google when u search HF says its fine from seed to harvest. Lyin asses lol. If i can get my hands on that chicken shit tho, ur saying put some on top layer AND make a tea or just one or the other ? Have u ever done any indoor grows where u used natural materials in house ? I could try and get that bag & what not but like i said times are FUCKED & i cant even afford somethin if it was free.99 lol. Swear to fuck i better become a grow master soon at some nice place man fuck this broke boy shit, fuckin kill somebody for a dollar i swear lol. Anyways man yea im gonna have to do more research just in case. I would deff like to feed this thing something soon possibly before or after i top it in a few days. Gonna need a focus on Nitrogen asap, some Potassium / calcium. & then more Phosphurus during flower. Havent found any solid info on organic homemade materials that can be used for Phos, also, almost all of my leaves are clawed down at the very tips. Could be some wind burn from my fan earlier on, could be a lil overwatering at the beginning possibly ? They would say Nitrogen toxicity but i havent added anything & the HF isnt that wild. That & some slightly "burnt" tips at the very very very tip of some of the leaves. Besides all that next thing im hoping for is a stronger thicker stem - maybe that happens after i top it ?

    =================================
    The plants that like coffee grounds include roses, blueberries, azaleas, carrots, radishes, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, cabbage, lilies, and hollies. These are all acid-loving plants that grow best in acidic soil. You'll want to avoid using coffee grounds on plants like tomatoes, clovers, and alfalfa
    ====================================
    In most cases, the grounds are too acidic to be used directly on soil, even for acid-loving plants like blueberries, azaleas and hollies. Coffee grounds inhibit the growth of some plants, including geranium, asparagus fern, Chinese mustard and Italian ryegrass.
    =================================
    Stop web

    Generally after it's been composted it is fine to use on most anything. Straight from the coffee maker it's far to acidic for direct use on Cannabis.

    Your plant is still on the small side and won't have used up the precharge the happy frog has.

  12. True brotha. I’ve had the used Grounds after coffee was made. Storing it in a container in the cabinet for the past few days now. I definitely don’t have time to compost for THIS plant right now that’s for sure, Damn idk what i’m doin for nutes then unless my plug clutches up & buys me some shit. Was lookin at the Nukeheads line up veg & bloom. Right now i’ve got a few fungus gnats fuckin around. lately i’ve been personally killing them myself with my bare hands when i see em. Do the adults dig & go under the soil to lay their eggs ? or they just be chillin on top or under leaves laying eggs that drop on to the top layer of soil then the larvae burrow down ? i need to find some natural shit around the house to get them to fuck off. They say they naturally fuck off when the soil is dry… yea i’ve left the soil dry for a few days then these pussies come back soon as u water it again LOOOOOOL. I saw something say “1 part soap & a bunch of water, water the soil with that / foliage spray. Or fuckin peroxide and some water and water the soil with that. Lil sketchy tho i don’t want peroxide in my shit yo
