soil

Hey dudes! Recently switched to an RO filter as my local water is very poor quality, and all my plants seem to be freaking out. I’ve been adding the fox farms “flower kiss” to raise the ppm and adjust ph for every water, with a full synthetic nutrient regiment once a week which I’ve done for a...

using miracle grow organic natures care soil. Growing mostly auto flowers. Growing under a phlizon 450w. But I only use the Cobb lights at around 250w for seedlings. Ph in at 6.5. I did a slurry test yesterday and it read 5.9. Using house and garden nutrients. I’ve barely fed anything. My tap...

Hey guys! I've been so interested in growing I finally went out and bought a 2x2 tent with ventilation and lights included. Went to my local smoke shop and grabbed feminized chocolope seeds. Want to go get the medium tomorrow but don't really know what im looking for when it comes to...

I’m currently using 70% Vermont compost fort vee to 30% nectar of the gods #8. I have the dragonfly earth medicine radiant green super brew blend I plant to feed my plants throughout. I plan to use rove beetles and let them establish themselves in my soil prior to use, lady bugs during along...

Hello first year grower here. I have a Mephisto forum stomper auto flower in botanicare true earth soil in a 5 gallon fabric pot. The plant is being fed the technaflora recipe for success nutrients everything third watering. Water is ph’ed to around 6-6.5. The vegetative growth was flawless and...

The title says it all. Reason I ask is because the price difference is insane! Cal-mag that's currently in stock, 1L bottle is 100$+ and, I haven't looked at them yet, but, I've heard dolomite lime is better for your plants/soil and like 10-50$ depending on how much you want.

I'm growing OG Runtz in soil for the first time. Small personal grow. I had two plants, put one in to flower earlier since I wanted the second to veg a bit more, this one just finished. It started yellowing a bit early, but not as bad as the second still in flower. The first one has been...

The plan is simple enough. Pop a few seeds and see what happens. Hopefully get some healthy mothers going and cut clones for some sort of SOG or perpetual grow. If things go well, get a few clones nice and bushy and send them outside come spring 2022. I'd also like to collect some pollen and...

So I put some clones in some roots 707 soil with EWC the other day. I watered till some runoff came off today, The runoff smells pretty bad and the ph was around 7.5 the ec got super high and made my meter just say OH. Not sure what I should do to fix this issue. I really don't wanna lose these...

I recently moved to Illinois from California. In California I didn't have any way to grow my own. This place I bought actually had a crude grow-room already. I am wanting to trick it out. I do have disability so it was easy to get Medical and with Medical I can grow five plants. Likes: Way up...

The soil in this pot is very acidic around the rootball/stalk area, like a 4 on the scale, but the soil on the outside of the pot is all testing within normal ranges. My plants seem to be showing signs of nutrient burn and/or lockout. I believe I overfed my plants with liquid nutrients that...

Why does it say to use flowers kiss after 3rd week all the way thru, but on bottle says stop after u see buds developing? Im getting mixed messages.

Hi There, I tried posting this in the plant problems forum, but it was recommended that I try here because i'm using Earth Juice organic nutrients. I keep having issues in flower. Every day my plants are looking worse and worse. I’m using Earth Juice Big 5 nutrients in a 2x4 tent. I have a...

Hey can someone please help me diagnose what’s going on with one of my plants? I woke up this morning and there was some tan coloring on a few of the fan leaves. I’m not sure what’s going maybe light burn? Any help would be appreciated. Two weeks into flower, using soil, with earth juice big 5...

Hi! As many people here, I watched Bruce Bugbee's educational videos, where he suggests using a medium made of 50% peat and 50% vermiculite and says that vermiculite has lots of silica for the plant. While researching about this, I found this site which says that vermiculite doesn't work as a...

Hi! I am new in this lovely site, so feel free to move this topic if required... Also, I'm from Argentina so please be patient with my English xD. I am going to start my third grow some weeks from now and I want to change my nutrients/soil plan (I don't like the nutrients brand I'm using...

Hi there, Third time grower here this time going for a sea of green autos. As weeks have gone by, the soil has sunk a bit (must have been very airy and soft in day 1), and I was wondering if I should add more soil for the plants and cover up the main steam? I could add one inch of soil...

Hi. I’ve got a few girls in 5 gallon buckets outdoors with soil. They are doing great. I was wondering if I could put clay pebbles, like hydraton, on top of the soil to prevent squirrels from burying stuff in in the buckets . Every morning and evening I find myself filling holes they have dug in...
