fRIEDfRED Second Attempt - 2020 JournaL

May 6, photo updates.
Jack Herer plants are doing well and no sign of fertilizer deficiencies. So far I’ve been able to keep the spotted cucumber beetles in check by inspection and squishing them when I find them.lol

Didn’t really notice this until I saw the pics the closest GGa is looking a little yellow. I’ll check it again in the morning and probly give it a little nitrogen boost. Any opinions???

Small taste of Epsom salt or worm castings should do the trick.
What do you think Prof @Warkat?

A compost tea or castings top dress as enlightened420 suggested should do the trick.

Also, dropped the scrog net. Only reason I’m doing this is vertical height in the greenhouse is limited. Never done it b4 and not sure :thinking: How to begin or what to do next. Should I start trimming some of the lower branches??? Time to top again??? Grateful for any of your opinions.


It’s been a long day, time to relax and take a few tokes.IMG_0415

Thanx AAA, Enlightened, just did a very mild top dressing with blood Meal and worm castings and watered it in. Meanwhile I have a mild compost tea with worm castings brewing if needed later on.

:eyes: :eye::eye: :speak_no_evil: Shhh, this is a secret, don’t tell anyone…
When I am feeling lazy, or it’s an emergency, and don’t want to go to the trouble/time of brewing a tea, I put a couple of teaspoons of Worm castings into a clean milk bottle and whatever else it needs. Then I shake the bejeebus out of it, let it sit a while, shake again and strain into my watering bottle, check ppm/ph and adjust accordingly.
Then water as normal.
Don’t tell anyone they will get cranky at me :speak_no_evil: :joy:

Have you got true living organics book yet? My teas come directly from his pages he recommends 3 diff teas for 3 diff stages. In fact his tea blends work so well for me I have based the nutes I am charging my Biochar with the ingredients in his teas. My hope is that by have all the ingredients balanced in the amount of soil I’m adding to the char I won’t need to add any nutes at all during the grow. Ifv you don’t have it I can post his veg recipe for ya no worries.

Thanx Oldtimer, so glad :grin: I’m free of the salt based chemical fertilizers. What a difference. Last year I was torturing my little Autos and didn’t know it. Now, outside of watering once and awhile I pretty much leave them alone and so far they are thanking me. :seedling:
