ok cheers, one question though,

i got seaweed pellets and manure. i can only get chick,horse and cow manure.

bat and worm stuff i dont think i can find

i want it as a water fert. can i pour near boiling water over poo and seaweed pellet and leave for >?? then pour liquid on plant. will this work. i wanna go organic. as chems seem to burn my plant whatever dosage.

thanx.

All your manure needs to be composted first!
Then you may make compost tea, but poop tea?
No.

Seaweed pellet tea- yes, that would work. Dilute it after you brew to guard against burning. Do you have an N-P-K ratio off the label?

yea i used manure and seaweed tea but stupidly but the solids leftover on the soil afterwards. now both plants are dying QUICK. i already flushed yesterday. its very hot lately so should i remove the top inch of soil and flush more straight away. itrs got quite alot of perlite. thanx.

Umm... and after I recommended no poop tea, and to dilute the seaweed tea??

Yes replace the top soil as best you can without tearing roots, and flush more.

no by poo tea i meant composted animal manure. sorry.
and yea i'd already gave them both some.

i was actually worrying the tea wouldnt do anything. i heard that organics couldnt burn your plant so i did it straight away then asked if it would help my plant.

never would i dream thats its practically killed my only 2 babies. one trained was like 2 foot and a fat indica. they were my 1st and now im really upset. as natural light is going to 12/12 soon so i cant do more outside. and have no good lights.

i think the big one may survive with a few leaves on top quite like the palm tree by your name lol. oh well. how long between flushes should i leave it. it is a perlite/vermiculite and i guess around 60-80% soil mix. im unsure.

Hi NewB, it sounds to me as if there is another or a different problem along with the nutrients. Having quick, drastic results like that usually means there is more than one thing going wrong.

What are the specifics of your grow? (i.e. how often do you water, what has the weather been like, are they in the ground or in pots, noticed any animal/insect activity, etc?

weather has been good. really good. in greenhouse. gets moved outside on the hot days as greenhouse can get to 35 maybe 40C. but they never sit in it when its that hot. it doesnt get less then 15 C. water was applied when quite dry and always till dripping out bottom. whitefly are about. mites i thik i got. the 2ft one was in at least a gallon maybe 2. and perlite/vermicuite was there too. the reason i think it was the seaweed/manure and the commercial fert b4 that was because it occured straight after application. nxt day. etc. and proceeded up the plant. but the top is unharmed. as it was flushed a hela lot. oh well. better get some indoor lights. lol.
