Continued string of failure Harvest after harvest.

yeah HD, I have definitely lightened up on my feeding schedule. For most of the time I've been growing the last year-and-a-half I had been using the Botanicare nutrients pretty much full strength. Now they're all getting a little over half strength, and from what I've read here, autos take even less, so with them its like 1/2 strength.
 
Well you could change where you get your seeds. Just put in an order with Crop King Seeds - I know their selection is limited but the smoke is top shelf. And they produce their own seeds - not like some of these other middle men we have all dealt with. After they deposit my etransfer mailman should be delivering them early next week.
 
Greenpassion, I know how you must feel, it's really frustrating. Have you considered setting up a hydroponic grow? If it isn't possible in your grow room environment, then never mind.

And I totally agree with Furley about the importance of flushing during a grow. And I agree that it's a good idea to use a flushing agent to really get those salts out. The plants really love the break from nutes and then getting fed again. At least in hydro they do...
 
I like to use less and watch the plants. First i'd gain some confidence with 1-2 plants keep it really simple. I admire great growers and there pics. But I beat to my own drummer, do what I've found works for me. So much learned from GWE lots of different grow mediums, nutes to use. You can do it :)
 
So I don't really know what I'm talking about compared to most of you guys...but I do know that after reading and reading and trying to do it by the book so to speak my plants were struggling...I put them in kinda raised beds/tubes and use the hp promix and promix bio something. Hardly gave them nutes after that. Just feed them water like crazy and let nature do it's thing. Have had a few bug issues but tried to stay on top of them and it's not so bad. So basically the less I tried the better they grew lol....first year growing here. All Critical Kush. Here are some pics. By no means are they monsters and haven't harvested them yet but like I said just let mother nature do it's thing. My grow area should be cleaner think that would cut down on the bugs

Yes those are marigolds....is that not a good thing? I had done some reading for trying to prevent bugs. Marigolds was suggested to help prevent against bugs. Also said when they died it released some good stuff into the soil. Basil, Dill, Sunflowers, Lavender were some other suggestions for being near your plants.... thoughts?
 
Grow too natural isn't really best because it supplying resources evey leaf and bud site etc.will get many little green buds. Learn to train them and feed them will be better.
 
You're good, I believe what you've created is called "guild planting"(on a light scale). Marigolds do release..I'm not sure if it's an oil or what..but it is released into the soil and does deter critters. Basil is beneficial because it is said to increase oil production in nearby plants.

A bud from way back works at the local nursery, he gave me this resource recently, as he knows I employ companion planting+ladybugs. It is not marijuana specific, but helpful.

Anyway I really do appreciate the help from you guys in the comments. The time and attention. I will keep you posted in the next couple months after I've done the soil flush, the repot, and the move into the move into 12 /12.
 
Yea, I pushed it along without realizing, 🤦‍♂️. Forgive me on that. I did go through your older posts to get an idea from pictures what was going on. I wish that I could explain it, had you foliar fed at any point? Nutrients every other watering? You had mentioned that reducing nutrients seemed to help, did you cut them out entirely at any point?
 
Oh no....there good.... I planted them with my tomatoes and the release a compound that keeps a bunch of bugs away. I grew basil too and it really really grew well.
Just couldn’t make it out in the pictures
 
Greenpassion I've heard misery loves company, so I thought I'd share some data on my first few "harvests":

Harvest #1: Lost all three plants to some weird brown mystery goop on their roots. - 0g harvest
Harvest #2: NebulaHaze gets drunk and falls on my only plant while checking it out. It somehow splits down the middle all the way to the roots- 0g harvest
Harvest #3: Lost 2 plants to more mystery brown stuff on the roots; learn what root rot is. - 0g harvest

If my math is correct, that's just about 0g/watt for all 3 grows😂
 
Side note: There was a string of comments that got heated when someone started lobbing insults. That person has been removed from the forum(along with the comment string), but I just want to add that I really appreciate that everyone here was able to keep cool despite what was going on. 👍
