Big plant small pot 5g. Nutrients started to ran out in mid flower. Then something I over fed burnt the plant.
So you mean this beautiful plant failed? I can assure you the pot size matters but Ive seen many nice plants grown in small containers.
A plant can do well in small containers but it takes daily feedings and usually coco is used. 11 days into flower and your plant failed. That's a long way to go with no results. Have you come up with what went wrong? Something that awful must have some sort of lockout involved.
A plant can do well in small containers but it takes daily feedings and usually coco is used. >>How small? 1g & 5g both are small. Are you sure can do well in organic? Maybe what you saw is hydro. Not, organics. Two different worlds. Got burnt on 29th day. Before that still good but too many leaves were dropping everyday. The pros here said the semi organic fertilizer I added is chemical and it caused nitrogen toxicity. It was granules. I grinded it into powder. Powder is stronger. I also grinded all the organic fertilizers that were in granules into powder. This made them stronger. Maybe the compost I added was bad compost. Maybe 60 grams of blood and bone meal was too much. Maybe one or a combination of these burned the plant.
5 gal should have been plenty as far as media. This is one of the issues I have with organic and amended soils for beginners. I'm assuming you don't have a ton of harvests under your belt. Most of the newbs I help seem to think that an amended/water only soil will go all the way to harvest. Most of these soils will last, at most 6 weeks, before they need to be amended again. What seems to almost always happen is the soil depletes and their first sign is when the plant goes deficient. Probably not the best way to figure out it's time to start feeding them more than just water. Beginners, IMO, should start out with cannabis centric soil media and synthetic ferts. Plants can't tell the difference between organic or synthetically produced nutrient ions. The only difference is in how they were derived and how they present to the plant. Synthetics are readily available the moment they are in the soil whereas organics need a few more steps before they are available to the plants. Also, most synthetic nutes nowadays are compatible with beneficial bacteria and fungi so the argument that they "kill" your microbes is a myth for the most part. Once they've mastered soil then move onto higher maintenance media like coco then into water based media.
Thank you for your opinion friend. Yes are you right, I don't have tons. Actually zero, this is my 1st grow using fertilizers. 1st time seeing the bud form, 1st time everything. But I completed flower week 4 on my first try of everything, with very little experience. I can't switch my gameplan now. I have to improvise from the mistakes I did before, stick to it and see what happens and take it from there and hope it will be much better than the last one. How else? This is the only way to learn and improve.
My suggestion would be for you to start in a cannabis centric soil like Fox Farm, Happy Frog or Roots Original. Trying to make a mix when you are inexperienced is gambling. Better to go with the tried and true for now until you are experienced enough to know what you need to amend and in what amounts. I use Roots Original. It is lightly amended and I can go for around 4 weeks without any nutrients but I start feeding nutrient after a couple of weeks in early veg so that whatever soil nutrition from the original soil mix is still left can be used as a back up for any deficiencies I may run into or that the plant is wanting in higher ratio in that time period that I'm not giving it. Feeding earlier will also allow the natural breakdown of nutrient ions in the soil to build up while the synthetic nutrients are feeding the plant. Synthetic nutrients are chelated to be immediately available to the plant so the bacteria and other microbes that present the nutrient ions to the plant will use those first as they are readily available along with the naturally derived ions that have been naturally chelated to be available. The pics above look like a 2 x 2 space. Are you growing in the same space?
I can't get those things you mentioned in my region. So yes, I will gamble and see. You are seeing a 3.5ft x 3.5 ft trellis net in the photo.
