LUI Day 19

LUI Day 19

The critical time for plants is in bloom, as for interrupting the light cycle that’s something that is pretty commonly misunderstood. . . . Cannabis reacts to extended periods ofdarkness and if blooming plants nighttime is interrupted. . . . it can cause problems. . . . but vegging plants are certainly more forgiving. . . and even with blooming plants having the lights turned off for an hour or two one day isn’t going to cause problems. . . . the rule of thumb is not to interrupt your cannabis girls beauty rest at night while they are blooming. . . but an interruption in the day cycle isn’t such a big thing. the 12 hours of darkness for bloom are the ticket! . . . we currently use our vegging lights around the clock so letting our plants have an hour or two of darkness once every great while is not any big thing.

we’re very happy with these plant’s progress but will give credit where it’s due and also say that these have been easy plants to grow so far. .. . another question has
come to us via PM that we’d like to address publically and that querry concerns epsom salts and the organic grower. . . epsom salts is actually magnesium sulfate so the basic question was how such a chemical salt can qualify as “organic”. . . . the simple answer is to say that there are many definitions of the term organic and one definition includes pure mined minerals which have not been chemically processed. . . .a couple of examples would be soft rock phosphate and greensand which are considered organic supliments in some circles. . . .a more common example would be the dolomite lime that is a part of many many soil reciepes. . . . we use a “natural” minedsource of epsom salts (when we have to use it). . . .http://www.epsogrow.com/ is the website of the product. . . and again in keeping with our practice of
providing manufacturer’s “ad copy” we’ll do the same for the epsogrow.

The secret of the European garden:
Europeans have been using Epsom Salt on their gardens for generations to improve plant growth. Finally there is an all natural source available here in the U.S. that’s the EpsoGrow advertising department talking. . . not the 3LB. but this is a good choice for Epsom salts if they are needed. . . . we’re not going to say we are big advocates of regular use of epsom salts. . . .in general we believe that dolomite lime is a better source of magnesium since it also contributes to pH balance. some organic ferts like Age Old Organics are short on Magnesium. . . . and it’s also absent in some common salt fertilizers like Miracle Grow. . . magnesium is an absolutely essential element for healthy rapidly growing cannabis. . . so epsom salts are a good
tool to have available in the gardener’s arsenal of resources.. . .

we’re actually in the pleasurable position where these girls are ahead of our expected schedule. . . . it’s hard to believe that they are not quite 3 weeks old yet. . . . but the real easy part is behind us. . . we’re going to be top cloning them soon so we’ve got to make room for clones. . . and these girls are quite ready to be transplanted up to larger containers as well. . . .so we will actually be having to do some real work with this grow soon!
