Day 26 Flower Hey all. My updates are a little behind mainly cause I haven't had time to sit down and type anything up. The photos you see are from Day 26 Flower, however, I'm including information from previous days. About a week ago I topped off the pots with an additional 1-2inches of my...

Sup Everybody! Today I decided to begin the flowering process!!! :) I turned off the lights and giving them 24hrs of darkness before switching them over to the 12/12 light cycle. Super excited to see how these girls flower :D

Yeah I agree good worm castings can a game changer that's why I started my own worm composting bin. It's only been active for a little under two months so I'm still building up the worm population but I plan on adding in my dry amendments to the worm bin so the EWC that come out of it are...

Day 49 Veg Hey everybody! Hope you guys are enjoying your Labor Day! I was asking around various forums about my hard soil issue and the most likely cause of this phenomenon is the peat moss going hydrophobic. I must've let the soil dry out too much so when it came time for me to water, it...

I believe the culprit was the peat moss returning to its hydrophobic state due to drying out too much. Next I'm going to shorten the time between waterings and see if that helps.

I watered them the same day i transplanted. As soon as they were in the new container I gave it a thorough watering.

What you were saying about the Peat Moss going hydrophobic on me makes perfect sense. How do I combat this? Increase the frequency in which im watering so the peat moss doesn't dry out as much? I'm using a layer of straw to help maintain the moisture in the top soil, it seems to be working well.

Hey guys, question for you. So I went with Coot's style mix: Base Soil: I mixed up enough for 21 gallons. (~3cuft) 1/3 Sphagnum Peat Moss (7gal) 1/3 EWC (compost) (7gal) 1/3 Perlite (Aeration) (7gal) I then amended the base soil with the following dry amendments: 1/2 cup per cubic foot (1cuft...

Hey guys, figured I'd post a quick update here. The twins are alive and well. Big sister is growing like a madman after being topped, side-branching like a mofo. The little one is still alive and I would say thriving. It's still tiny compared to the big girl at 10" tall but zero signs of...

Day 42 Veg Plants are thickening up nicely. Every since they recovered from the transplant/topping they have been side-branching like crazy and the middle of the plants are thick with growth. I'm super relieved that the deficiency issues seem to have gone away. Some of the discolored leaves are...

Day 37 Veg Hi everybody! I can finally report back with some good news. Since transplanting into the Coots supersoil and into the 5gal fabric pots the plants have been exploding in growth! More importantly, the new growth looks very healthy, lush green leaves. The tips are slightly burned but...

Today I transplanted two of the remaining three plants. Given I only had 21gal of super soil on hand I decided to just use 5gal fabric pots instead of 7gal pots. I have enough remaining super soil to top dress all the pots several times so I figure I should be alright. With the 5gal pots being...

Should I remove the discolored leaves since they are sickly or whatever? Or do they still contribute to the plant and are worth keeping?

Yeah I decided to take your advice and get the plant some fresh soil. I transplanted from the 1gal --> 5gal fabric pot filled with coots style super soil. Hoping this remedies the issues. I will be transplanting the other plants later today as well.
