Was from getting hit by so many snails when I put it outside maybe root rot from to much rain? Or maybe the nutrients I used were to strong? I made my own concoction of subcools super soil layered it mostly on the bottom with top being roots organics soil and when I pulled them out roots barley were pushed through the rapid rooter and i started them a month ago. . It's a sad day indeed. . Anybody know of any super tolerant autos? I gotta grow outdoor and don't have much time now already lost a month and gotta order some autos please help I won't give up!

They were doing absolutely gorgeous before the snail attack this picture does them no justice but this is what they looked like yesterday even worse today I just ripped them out

If your worried about snails n slugs like I am put a strip of duct tape all around the pot and slather tanglefoot on it that way when the little fuckers start climbing they get stuck or choose to go back. After that the only thing you need to worry about is the jumping snails.

don't think the main problem was snails

snail could eat near all the leaves on the plant and it would look better than that

don't know if you have seen a plant being re vegged after flower, there may be two half green leaves left on the hole plant,

but over a few weeks the plant pulls through

imo the plants not getting enough light ( not a sunny spot) and your overwating, put somthing down to kill the slugs

and next time I would use larger pots

I'm not saying slugs are the main problem just a side thing that can be taken care of.

root rot .......cause is over water along with micros in the soil out of balance

1 reduce the amount of water u are given them ........u need to slowly increase the amount of water as the plant gets bigger to it maximum retention
looking at your plants at most it should be getting 1/2 gallon every 3 days

2 u need to rebalance the micros in the soil

3 of those are micros for the soil the budcandy is just a stacker

just trying to give some advice for your next grow, growing weed is no different to growing any other plants

just need good qualty soil, large pots, sunny spot and watering when the soil starts to dry out, just be carefull not get pull into buying loads of diffent nutes as its a load of rubbish, because you can make a lot money selling weed, there is loads of different nutes you need, lol no other plant needs it

just use basic grow , bloom nutes

snails like shaded, damp place in the garden
so water first thing in the morning

no that is not it

u want to mimic the best of what nature has to offer as offen as u can for the length of the plant's life
each thing offer on the market is part of it......it is up to u to find the right combos for your plants/strains

the system is really simple once u learn the basics
Organic feeds are King for the reason they keep the micro/fungi in the soil happy ......inreturn they keep the soil prefect for maximum intake of food
Chemical Feeds are the Power House of feeds ......they offer the plant pure chemicals for intake ........the down side is this leaves residue in the soil killing micros/fungi and limiting the intake of food

feeding the plant is a art ....u want to give the plant as much as it wants but u want to keep everything in balance ........takes a few grows and mistakes but u will get there

in theory most of what you are saying is right but in practice most people will never able to do it

find the right combos for your plants/strains

every strain has different plants, so to find the right combo for a plant would take a lot of clones from a same mother plant and years of experience
don't know many people that can read a plant well enough to know what's wrong with it

just keeping a grow simple from start to finish can give you amazing results and avoid most problems

u want to give the plant as much as it wants but u want to keep everything in balance

all plants need to same N,P,K, calcium, magnesium and some trace nutes

bio fish mix and bio bloom cover most things a plant needs, only thing extra I need is some little Epson salts in early flower as my tape water low magnesium

always kept my plants healthy and yielded a lot of bud :)

a first time grower should keep it as simple as he can and play round with his plants after he done a few successful grows

if i am able to do then others can .....i am nothing special just a stoner that reads and thinks

and not all the plants need the same .......that idea is just wrong if that was true then getting the prefect plant every time would be fallowing a simple laid out plan that u would do for any plant

each plant is different due to the strain and the root structure micro/fungi lvls in the soil and the type of feed u use

and if u read my last part ......i say it takes a few grows to get it (took me 3 grows to figure out how to max out my first strain ...... i just finished a strain that was listed for 40/70 grams indoor i pulled 176 grams first try applying what i learned about tweaking feed )

the main diffence between bottle of nutes is the ratio and strength of the npk used for veg and flower

at different stages in flower your could use diffent nutes but as every plant needs diffent amounts at diffent times in veg and flower its very hard to guess

you can buy plant food that can be used on
all plants, not saying your going to get the best results but it does work and has done for a very long time

plants store food in the leaves and redirect it when they need it, often wait till this happens as it make the roots grow quicker as it need to find food in the soil

and then I start feeding the plant and remove the lower yellow fan leaves (lolpoping)

just say thing are easy when you keep it simple

imo getting the best yeild from a plant is down to keep a plant heathy and getting the canopy level and full
