Clearly preflowers there in the second pic. They are fine.
That 2nd pic looks like she is showing some little hairs. I imagine it's about go time.
All I've done is follow instructions on the bottles. *shrug* I water deep when the soil is dry to 2 inches and every other water, I feed them. I have applied neem once for aphid control and smothered them with lady bugs after. The ladybugs that grew up as babies on the plants stayed as adults and they're managing the aphids pretty good. I haven't touched them, no pruning at all, I just let them do their thing. I sowed the seeds in bagged potted plant soil mix and didn't feed them anything until they had at least 8 leaves.
Yes! Even a couple weeks into flower you can take cuttings. There's currently 14.5 hours of daylight so you're not there quite yet.
I've been mulling on this and I've decided I want to know more. What are common failures with Fox Farm and what's a better nutrient system? Maybe I just got lucky. What if my plants could've been even more exceptional on a different meal plan?
I usually use living soil. Plants get too big and it's dirt cheap.
A lot of new growers just use too much food in hopes of a bonanza jackpot grow out of the gate, and Fox Farms has long been positioned as a beginners regimen. Most of those beginners are new to growing anything and are usually growing in pots, where you really need to pay attention to food and water. If I grew outdoors, I would grow in my raised bed mix which is equal parts peat, compost and vermiculite. I usually use General Hydroponics nutrients both for cannabis and veg. Maxibloom is cheap. Pretty much the opposite of living soil which is a fascinating discipline
Another fan of living soil! We have composted our kitchen scraps in an old bath tub , filled with red worms, for years. And continually amended our garden with this compost. We also don't till and mulch heavily with bails of hay I get from my neighbor. And we collect rainwater for indoor plants and the occasional outdoor cannabis plant that I grow in a 30 gallon container. I prefer cannabis grown this way over most hydro weed I have ever smoked.
I love leaves but hardly have enough so yeah I supplement with hay. I even bought a bale spear for my tractor to move round bales (free hay). Cardboard and hay is great mulch.
Also the same as rain water you can find on findaspring.org for sale or to collect.
I also use our well water, for outdoor in the ground plants. It is hard water but the living soil does a good job of buffering its PH.
Nice, the water you can get off this site is drinkable and might be near by it’s about a 30 minute drive for me to get to the farm where they have really good water I drink it personally there’s always someone there when I am getting drinking water. I’m gonna try it in the garden it’s living water so it’s good for the body and your body soaks it up and you end up a lot drinking more (like gallons in a day easily it flows right down through the body) so I might try watering with it, it has micro nutrients
I only water to keep plants alive. Make those roots reach.
