Why doesn't anybody talk about how the strain matters in all this? I'm confused as **** as usual. ya ya ya clear, cloudy, and amber... clear/cloudy vs cloudy/amber heady vs couchlock WHAT ABOUT THE SATIVA STRAINS, DAMGODDIT? Do you get couchlock if you wait for max (some amber) or are you...

Nitrogen again? I tried an alfafa top dressing but but nothing changed much. This new crop started out great but going downhill fast

I was wondering about that, no need to ruin the pots, far out, thanks.

Brain fart or plant killer? As usual, I'm in firefighter mode, my seedlings are ready but my soil isn't and it is too hot anyways, literally warm and steaming in that plastic tub. I presently have 5, soon another 4, in flower the bed is only half full, I need another batch, another 2 months...

SOIL is 5 weeks and smokin' holleeee, I can see why they call it cooking I thought my heating pad had been turned on by mistake... I swear I smelt burning plastic from the tub and steam (?) was rising off it I moved it all in to the new bed and still need as much again. temp probes all around...

I don't mean to upset folks here, I am fully aware any advice is a gift and I don't mean to look a gift horse in the mouth, just frustrated.

I've got Jeff Lowensomethings 3 books and just google stuff or ask here if i'm confused, and that happens a lot. It's great to have so much material at your fingertips but how do you weed out the bullshit? It's farming. Some have a knack, some don't. I don't.

Feathers may not be ruffled but your bill is still out of joint. That was a joke too. You can't go around with a moniker like duck and not expect somebody to take some shots at you, likely from a blind (oops, did it again) I came to this place bitching about the vagaries of growing pot and it...

UPDATE.... a month yesterday and still awfully brown looking :-( on the bright side, 7 of 8 sprouts look pretty good... If they outgrow the germ trays, I'll put them in 1 gal potting soil and drop them into the bed in about 3-4 weeks

Gee Duck, I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers

yer missing the necrotic spotting NITROGEN (N) Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week. POTASSIUM (K) Affected plants are usually tallest and appear to be...

not with that necrotic spotting... here's another pic Two strains, lost track. One strain hurting it seems, I'm going to try a kelp foliar at lights on tonight. Here's another pic rough looking bunch eh? they had a rough childhood dammit, I did that pot thing again, used "rough" twice see...

only couple days in to flower,.. I just watered (tea) with extra kelp 2 days ago should I wait? or try a foliar application with kelp again? same plant

No way I'm reading all that. My nightmares will start up again. I friggin' hate even thinking about hydro now :-) I remember THG telling me years ago when I went from soil to hydro that she had tried it and was happily back in soil. I should have listened. Good luck but I can't stay
