    Reusing soil

    Using Subcools recipe, you would start out in a perlite/wc/peat, then transplant to roots organic before transplanting to 1/2 super soil and 1/2 base soil.

    Any idea when the latest dates are to plant outside? I always here as long as it is after the last frost but, is there a point when it is to late? Would April-May still be ok?

    Super Soil

    Is there an alternative to super soil that will allow me to just add water instead of nutrients ? I was looking into subcools recipe but, was wondering if there was something on the market that was either pre-packaged or only had to be mixed minimally like FF+ something else.

    How Much Light?

    Is the space being used only part of the equation when growing or are the number of plants also a factor? I have seen 1000w lights with hoods that have an area cover of 5x5. If your grow room is 5x5 and covered in reflective material can you put as many plants as you want, given you have enough...

    Bad Genetics?

    What could be the issue? Do some strains grow "prettier" than others or is it possible I got a bad bunch of seeds? I am growing 5 purple kush and 2 critical the critical look great but, the purple kush all look weird. Some leaves are droopy, others clawing, or yellowing and no matter what some...

    Flushing.

    I just started to feed my plants nutes but, fear over feeding so, I have not gotten a lot of run off. Since, this may cause build up should I not feed nutes every few days and just over water a bit until I get a decent amount of runoff? I am growing in coco.

    Curling and Cupping.

    Any idea what the problem could be? Some leaves or curling/cupping up. I thought it was being under watered but, the soil is moist. I have also raised the lights but, the rest (5 plants) are good so I do not know if that can be the problem. They have gotten a bit worse since yesterday.

    First Coco Grow

    I have a thread going but, I was unable to upload the new pics. How are they looking? The 3rd pic concerns me it is droopy but, not sure if it is over/underwatering or something else. Any advice on the rest or are they looking ok? I watered them yesterday with 1/2 strength (2ml per liter)...

    Watering Coco

    Is there something you should look for like moisture to know when to water again? For example grabbing a small handful and squeezing it? I just put my sprouts under lights so, I may have to water larger amounts due to heat.

    Transferring Sprouts

    Probably not a big difference but, would it be better to fill the pots with coco+perlite and let them drain for a few hours before transferring the sprouts so, I can water with PH'ed water or just do it immediately and water tomorrow?

    Is There a Problem?

    Is this yellowing? If so, what should I do? I can not get the rest of the pics to load. Another one looks similar but, has what seems like a red/brown spot under one leaf and the other still has the seed attached to it.
