Hello all i'm back for a bit of help

Having a small prob with fan leaves yellowing. Biggest problem is that i can't get any decent compost here(in Nz) and as for maxicrop or allmix or j innes-no chance. Epsom salts? Not in any garden centres i can find. Seeds are v illegal here and growing is a prisonable offence. I have managed to get some earth juice grow & bloom but the dosage rates on bottle make no sense whatsoever-anyone use this stuff, or know how to use it???

Pic's of my plants are attached. Any help from the wise(Bish, etc) would be greatly recieved.

They are Nl, outside, in 15 litre pots(re-potted 5 days ago, up from 9ltr) the water here is from the sky(no mains water where i am) & contains very little phosphate, nitrate or minerals whatsoever. PH is bang on 7. They recieve full sun all day.

That has to be totally crap compost, you are short of nitrogen is all. EJ grow once off at 6ml per litre.

I could be wrong peppi but Epsom Salt (ES)is also commonly used by some (not me tbh) for Mg deficiency (Whats that ?) in composts known by growers to be lacking in Magnesim (Mg) sad.gif

If you have trouble getting Eaerth Juice (EJ) you cold also use "osmocote - Plus" (controlled release plant food) NPK = 15:5.2:10. It's not as ideal as EJ as osm is a 'slow release'.

Cannafish .......... a garden center is what you need or supermarket like Coles or K-mark - check with the sales people on the "NPK" (Nitrogen/Phosphorousrious/Potasium) content.

I'd rather stick wasps up my arse than use osmocote on my plants mate but thanks.

Sorry for my abrupt reply nitramthing(no offence meant but i can't remember full name) but you didn't read my thread correctly as i CAN get earth juice and as for my comments i feel it was fairly obvio that i am an organic grower. I also say this perfectly friendly, no malice intended. I respect your reply & genuine offer of help. All straight now i hope.

ANYWAY, OT1 advised to dose @6ml per litre(with EJ grow) so i did, 4-5 days later she was responding fantastically. I now am feeding daily @3ml per LTR & once in bigger pot feel i could up the dose rates once summer's really kicked in. My male has had his head cut off and is filling out nicely. Today i noticed some bananas starting to develop so i'll keep my eye on those and lop them as required. I am keeping a male as i only have 5 seeds now and my stock in uk is... in uk and i'm not or ever likely to be again. So i will pollenate a bud and see how the next batch go.

Tranquility has been restored to the garden. Cosmic. yinyang.gif
How do i deal with the oncoming flowering period-thats more tricky. I have EJ grow & bloom but am unsure on the dosage rates as the bottle directions are based on hydro growing(i understand why you hydro growers do it now-everything ganga based is hydro-aimed).

I enclose some pic's of recovered girly.

I've had a minor disaster-some timber got blown over & stripped half of Female plant, lots of limbs removed, many broken sad.gif
On a good note some bagweed seed has sexed-2 girls! 1 boy. Unfortunately they are in NZ shite compost so suffering from lack of nutes. I'm running out & it's v expensive here & a 3hr drive to get more, 3 hrs back. A whole day pretty much.

My male plant is growing like a monster regardless. I need him for seeds as they are a rare comodity here in NZ. Apparently some clones of white russian are available every now and then but thats it.
