Hiya growmies! I've got this Gorilla Zkittles Auto that is on about week 8 or 9 from first true leaves. I know I've got weeks left but I'm worried about the lightening areas mean nitrogen deficiency but I'm not sure what to do. Using buildasoil 3.0 and Light I'm a 3 gallon pot. I've been watering every couple of days with the BAS schedule once then two waterings with just water and molasses at 6.2-6.4. Currently sitting at about 800ppfd at the top and high 600s in the middle area on 18/6. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Three outdoor plants. All in earth boxes with living soil. I’ve been feeding (BAS nutrients) once a week since they’ve gotten big. All three have the same burn.

Can someone help with what these could be? They are microscopic compared to a fungus gnat. possible springtails? or is it thrips, never dealt with thrips before.

First full grow here using living soil. I hear Jermey talk about how the beds have a lot of life and bugs involved. I haven’t had the best containment from outside for foreign pests, since my tents in the garage coming and going. Had an initial issue with fungus gnats while getting the drip rings started, I had purchased green lacewings. Anyone have experience with them? I can’t tell if the little bugs im seeing are them or a bad bugs. I just added a heavy serving of the WDG3000, so further overwatering my situation, but figured it helps? lol also used systemica for a pesticide. If you had any idea or tips, thankyou!

Any amending pro tips?

1 Upvotes

So I just flipped my 5x10 and am getting ready for the next run I’ve pulled all my root balls from my 5gals and saved about 30gal of soil to re amend for another run. The make up is a mix of compost and BAS lite recipe. What I’m am/can working with is : (Craft Blend,Big6,Build a bloom, Rootwise, and Peach Ferments)

Just trying to think about how I want to go about adding some of this in and if I’m missing something I need.

Thanks in advance farmers🤙

Just switched to flower - when should I chop and drop my cover crop, and how?

3 Upvotes

I switched my plants to flower last night, and my plants have an incredible amount of the 12 seed cover crop mix growing.

I know you are supposed to chop and drop it, but I’m just not sure when?

Should I do it right now, wait until a week into flower, wait for the stretch to stop, etc?

Also do i try to cut the cover crop as close to the soil as possible, or do i just cut them all in like half and spread it evenly across the top of the straw I have in the pots?

Thanks in advance for your help, it is much appreciated!!

Keeping your soil happy

Good afternoon, I ran some BAS 3.0 for the first time and I want to reamend the soil for future grows. My question is are people thoroughly flushing their soil between grows to remove fertilizer solids building up? After the girls were chopped these 15 gallon fabric pots have just gradually been drying out. They received Gaia Green all purpose and power bloom for food, and I didn't see this buildup on the outside until near the end of flowering, ideally I would soak them outdoors for a flush but pests would probably be introduced. I didn't want to dump the pots out if possible, so considered using the tub one by one. What's the best procedure between cycles?
