Only using one container...
So I hear many mention they're always re-potting.
Originally when I decided to give mj a try, I thought the less the plant was moved around and messed with, the less stress would be created and the plant would be healthier. But it made me view drainage as even more important if indeed I was to germinate in a large container and keep it there until harvest.
So I gave it a shot; used deep containers to allow for serious root development, provided a decent layer of gravel on the bottom and used a perlite ratio of about 60%. Rest of the soil was a mix of cheap organic soil and peat moss.
Things started off great, using only organic nutes (and at low to medium concentrations as well) and keeping the air moving seemed to be the ticket. After the girls were sexed, I gave them a mediocre flush with plain water and set about intertwining them into some hawt scrog action.
Now everything except the buds is a disturbing shade of yellow. My pH is fine, things aren't too damp or dry, no molds or diseases, and the thrips I encountered earlier are more or less gone (gotta love pyrethrin!)
I'm worried this batch is screwed, which pisses me off extra as after this I'll only be growing good ol veggies for the foreseeable future. Really wanted one good run at it you know?
Flushing now is almost out of the question due to the container arrangement and use of scrog. Anyone have any thoughts?
I guess I could move a trash bag under each container and give it a shot, and just siphon run off out with a turkey baster or something. Would this be a good time to invest in FloraKleen or ClearEx? If you use a flushing additive like those, can you use less water overrall? Might there be a homemade equivalent of these too?
I'm afraid to post pics of my girls, it might ruin Ms. Stinky's day or some thing
(really, they look depressing...)
