  1. Aweh bruh.

    Those white spots look like thrip or spidermite damage. 

    Those leaves also look like somethings going on, seems like maybe Ca or P issue.

    There are a lot of forum members here that can help, but they'll need more info.

    1.What medium you using?

    2.Any extra amendments or changes?

    3.What nutrients you using, schedule and dosage?

  2. Multigrow I use at 1-3ml/lt with biobizz bloom. Never had N tox with them.

    I think mixing biobizz and a maintenace 1g/lt dose of calmag should be ok.

    Use molasses quite often during flower and late stages.

    Not 100% sure about silica. I remember a discussion regarding silica swinging ph and needing correction. Never needed to use silica as the sand in our soil seems to do the trick.

    I dont use RO water on my plants. Have nothing against RO, many people use it with great success.  

    But, every 'waterbar' has their own filtration setup and remineralization process, you never know the actual quality and mineral content of the water unless its tested every time. Actually did test a couple a while back and the results were shocking, the tap water was cleaner and more balanced..... Worst case I'd go with dechlorinated tap water.

  3. We grow organic and use Seagrow molasses Ecobuzz and Biobizz bloom,

    grow, fishmix.

    The npk ratios on Ecobuzz multigrow lean towards the bloom side.

    Only ph our rain water, due to the amended organic soil that does the buffering. 

    Dont like mixing organic and synthetics.

    Stuff like calmag and epsom will precipitate out if mixed.

    Keep it simple. 

    I try to keep my grow and bloom scheduled feedings seperate from say deficiency corrections and wouldn't do them on the same day. 

    SST and AACT's are fed seperately from scheduled feeds, normally 2 to 3 days apart.

    In veg use your 'grow' nutes as per recomended dosage.(1-4ml/lt) You could add some molasses or a maintenance dose of calmag to that if you want.

    You could mix grow and bloom together, but don't exceed the max dosage of both.

    2ml bloom+2ml grow=4ml. If you then add 5ml Ecobuzz and 20ml Seagrow and calmag on top of that you're starting to look for trouble.

    Just my opinion.

  4. If I may ask as well, how did the transplant go? Sometimes you get the plant into the new pot with almost zero disturbance(best case), sometimes it goes rough and the roots take a knock.(bad stunting) My plants usually perk up after a week or 2.

    With AACT's you need plenty air and movement. One fishtank pump might be too little. Tried it and it didnt work, I now run a dual air pump and fountain pump together(for air and agitation) in a 25lt bucket for only 18-24hrs, longer than that I get funky smells, the good aerobic bacteria deplete the food supply and die off, then the anearobic bacteria take over.

    Not saying that is what happened but there may be a risk.

    Pep bags are crap, dont go that route. Also doubt those pvc bags will last outdoors due to sun's uv. The woolies material bags are a better 'budget' growbag option, ours are 2 years now and still going, but the handles are weak and dont last. Also have some proper growbags and they are the best option.

    If you are growing 4-6 plants and can afford it, get proper grow bags, much stronger and the handles last.  

    Everyone has to watch their bottom line, otherwise your grow can get expensive real quick. It depends on your setup.

    20 bucks a pop for a woolies bag, that lasts 2 years, its good value for us in our situation. We do a lot of phenohunting and testing throughout the year and required a budget option due to the numbers. 

    For summer outdoors we prefer to plant in the earth or in 75lt tubs.

  7. I've also heard of the mango connection with cannabis. But only ever read about it never tried for myself... yet.

    Consuming chocolate, especially dark chocolate also seems to improve/boost the effects of cannabis. This effect was personally observed so I believe there is truth in it.

    Thats awesome man, be sure to test that Blueberry in a blunt! 

    Here some of my Blueberry Kush #4 cut, scuze the trimjob, jar smells like full on grape koolaid.

    Grape koolaid.....now you talking😜

    That sounds delicious, would love a go at that.

    Just put some Blue Cheese clones out to flower, hope they bring the olfactory approval.

  9. Best to use pollen fresh. Had better success drying or dehumidifying my pollen before freezing, stays fluffy/powdery, but prefer rice above flour though. Plants have a pollination window when the tips of the pistils are just starting to brown, but its best to chuck more than once to increase your chances.

  10. Hell yeahhh....but it can become a deep rabbithole real quick if you arent carefull hahaha.... For the most part I meticulously plan my pollenations and sometimes I look at my plants and I get this idea...like this very fruity White Widow female could do with this Mango Kush male pollen and viola....

    Then comes the work, hunting for the best ones for the next gen. Still hunting some crosses from last year and allready have 2x more to explore this winter....

    Believe its different for every grower, selection criteria wise.....terpenes, potency, growth structure, bud to leaf ratio, pest/mold resistance to name a few.

    If you do the legwork you will find a good pheno and sometimes, just sometimes you find an epic one....

  11. Aweh gromies,

    The crux of the outdoor season is upon us.

    Plenty of chopping and trimming allready going on.

    1-3. Pineapple express lady getting nice and heavy.

    4-6. WWxCheese also getting very lekker.

    7-8. Sativa leaning pheno Fruitpunch lady bringing the goods, nice dense pungent nugs.

    9-10. Verrryy Fruity bagseed clone cut from a revegged mother from last year. Strong haze genes.

    11-12. One of the Bubblegum girls getting into the fade. Not a heavy yielder, but lots of flavour.

    13. The Blue Cheese clones in our guerilla outdoor setup under the lights.

  12. Have some other options, but its not for everybody.

    1.Tomato leaf alkaloids.

    If you have access to tomato leaves. 

    Roughly chopped, add enough water to cover the leaves and then blitz with food processor, leave overnight to draw, filter solids and spray. Additional-veg oil and soft soap(wetting agent) optional. 

    Active compound should deteriorate in 2-4days if exposed to sunlight and UV.

    Worked on spidermites, aphids and thrips.

    (Soft bodied insects)

     

    2.Garlic chilli onion-diy pepperspray

    4 cloves garlic, handfull of hot peppers(habanero) and half an onion. Rough chop, cover with 2lt water, blitz with processor, steep overnight, filter and spray. (5ml oil and soap optional)

    Stand upwind when you spray, or you will be sorry....

    Works on spidermites and aphids, busy checking efficacy on whitefly.

    Smell should dissipitate after 2 days.

    These are organic remedies found on the interweb that have been used with success.
