The Lab

Interesting week. All three plants were showing some serious signs of deficiencies (maybe they still do) so we flushed vigorously with some home brewed worm castings tea. Early in the week I noticed purplish brown spots on lower leaves of the Gelato and Do Si Dos. It got worse by the next day. The sour diesel also showing signs of deficiencies with yellowing lower leaves with some brown dots. After some online research, the best conclusion reached is phosphorus deficiency. The brew recipe consisted of 5 gallons H2O, 5 cups of worm castings tied in a pillow case (like a tea bag) and 5 tbs of Neptunes Harvest (2-3-1). This was left for 24 hours The brew was then mixed with plain H2O in a 1:1 mix. The mix pH was 6.5 and 990 ppm. Each plant was flushed with approx 3.5 gallons. After the plants received this, the only plant that showed improvements was do si dos. The Gelato seems to be over taken by purpling leaves, which makes me believe this is a genetic phenotype. Sour diesel buds continue to grow, and those lower leaves are still slowly dying. The good news is that all buds are getting bigger and bigger by the day. We react immediately on any signs of issues because we want the best outcome we can possibly achieve. It was fun making this home brew and switching up the fertilizers. Hopefully I am doing my best!
