    Loamy soil

    Hello, I'm currently growing with soil from my backyard. It's a very loamy (not entirely sure if this is the correct word; the soil contains clay) soil and becomes very compact, the roots having a hard time growing in it. I was thinking of mixing pearlite with it but don't know how much to...

    Can plants still become hermaphrodites due to environmental stress after flowers have already started developing on the plants? Plants were grown from feminized seeds. 16 days have passed since the switch to 12/12 has been made.

    Soil vs Hydro - Which method offers a higher yield?

    Preferably, answers from growers that have grown using both methods. NOT interested to know about taste or potency or difficulty of method. The majority of opinions seem to say that hydro produces more faster. Approximately how much more? 30%? 50%? And how much faster? 60 days? 90 days?

    Fighting pythium

    Hi guys, I wanted to ask you, what would you recommend on using to fight pythium (besides keeping everything top-notch clean) when the plants are very young (1-2-3 weeks old)? I've read that hydrogen peroxide isn't an option for seedlings because it can damage their young and fragile roots...

    Enzymes and Hydrogen Peroxide

    Hi guys, I'm going to start another grow soon and I was planning on using a product with beneficial enzymes this time because on my last grow I had some problems with pythium. The issue is that this product can't be used with hydrogen peroxide. At least that's what it says on the label...

    Pythium?

    Hi guys, I've just finished harvesting my second grow. My problem with it is that the plants produced a lot of tiny tiny buds. I suspect that the issue was at root level. The roots didn't grew that much, about 15-20 cm compared to the 80-90 cm from the first grow (I use an aeroponics system)...

    Hi guys. I have an aeroponic system and I've used rockwool cubes as a growing medium. My problem with them is that the roots, especially when I put the germinated seeds in them, aren't always growing or are growing very slowly. Many times seeds aren't sprouting at all from the rockwool. And...

    Some regeneration questions

    I'm looking to get some opinions on the below questions, preferably from growers that used the regeneration technique. 1. So, from what I understand regenerating a marijuana plant goes something like this: you chop the top 2/3 or 3/4 of the plant and leave the rest untouched, flip the lights...
