Biggest Challenge to Date

No, they’ve all been treated the same, minor difference in ppms, it’s always been running cooler by about 400 compared to the others,
I guess my real question would be, is there a way to break down the ppms into their parts? Know exactly how much of each is in the total. Where’s that gadget girl…lol
Was always smaller too

Yes the NPK ratios and ingredients on your bottles show the concentrations.
There is N in pretty much all the GH products if those are what you use.

I get what you mean, but after a few days, and you check ppms.
How can you then determine what it’s low on, or over on
Changing the bucket out, is what you should do, but…

You can’t see what’s left, that’s why reading the plant and preempting what it’s using and will need is important. The plant can’t really choose everything it uptakes, if the nitrates are in the water it will absorb them. When you see a toxicity you just have to stop feeding more until it improves, I’d stop giving any N to it now and just finish on a low dose of PK.

:+1: yessir, my conclusion as well, we’ve flushed it for 4 days, changed the bucket out 3 times, it’s running 400ppm of Flora bloom at 6.0
Anything else you think I should do?
Funny thing is, this one, and the Skunk :skunk: are the only two we have swapped, the other two are too big to move… Interesting :thinking:

.The biggest challenge for outdoor is getting the plants to finish. Here the start of October is it, I need to harvest before or soon after the first week as it gets cold and wet. I am constantly working with new strains trying to get the fast finishers. Of course I have still had really good results with many strains but have usually hoped for a week or two more of warm-dry weather.

Yeah, we sometimes get some early cold too, not uncommon to trick or treat with a winter coat.
Lost a beautiful dark purply colored blue dream. Mother nature :folded_hands:

Continuing thinking and style change comparing to challenges: Reading so very much about losses from bud rot and bugs. Then there’s my soil in raised beds growing 7’ tall ever producing tomatoes. I don’t need cannabis trees there! I have some photo award winning plants in my first grow and they’re green, terping right now (stinky) and beautiful in every way. My pride and joy in retirement for medical and relaxing fun. I will not allow Bud rot, ever.
So, decided to plant in large buckets 2’ X 3’, two in each controlling height and width outdoors watching close the weather (do that anyway) bringing them into a 8’ shed at flowering during heavy cold rain. Only thing I can be comfortable with. I’d love your thoughts for my first grow! Thank you all!

I busted my limit last year by 2x. Together, we can have 12, 6 each. So I did 24,

Yeah so you’re growing 12 in total right now​:wink::rofl: thats what i read at least lol. So backwards here in Illinois cause like i said before you have to be med and can only grow 5 per household and has to be inside or under lock and key. So under law med patients living in the house can still only have 5. Ridiculous

My biggest challenge so far was trying to grow knowing very little about cannabis cultivation and relying on a friend who grew back in the day (Late 80’s and 90’s) for all my information. Turns out that despite being a dear friend and just a great person he sucked at growing weed. Bwck then you could sell just about anything so he made money so I thought he knew his stuff…

Solution?

You guessed it…the internet.

I found so much info that once I had tuned my BS detector (that’s BroScience) I found everything I needed to make diagnoses of illnesses, deficiencies and pests as well as proper ph, when your plants need these nutes and not those, etc.

Freinds are wonderful. But don’t always heed their advice when your weed is on the line. Even if they were OG.
