Interesting timing given the recent TDG episode with Ethos Genetics. They open the show with test results demonstrating how autos are out performing photos. It's a specific sample size, so take it with a grain of salt, but interesting nevertheless. The guy Colin had some solid points...autos...

Yeah I checked DTE since that’s what I use and they recommend more like 2 tbsp per gal.

Awesome - thanks for all the info!

Thanks this is super helpful! When you pre-amend with GG, how many tbsp/gal do you typically drop in?

Hi all, I’m switching to ProMix and looking for insights or suggestions. In past runs I’ve used FFOF with 20% perlite, 20% EWC, DynoMyco and Dolomite Lime and then top dressed with DTE 4-4-4 and 4-8-4 throughout the grow cycle. I’m tempted to run the same recipe simply swapping FFOF with ProMix...

Very cool. I assume the plant was in just the root riot for 3 weeks or so before you transplanted? Would you recommend Root Riots over peat pellets?

You also bring up the notion of growing big ass roots. I feel like no one talks about this and I never hear anything about a ‘root-growing strategy’. it feels like such a critical thing to me - equally (if not more) important as paying attention to what’s going on above the dirt.

Can’t remember now since I trashed the poor plant, but all the levels were being monitored and within proper ranges. It’s not my first run so I was just doing what I’ve done before…I think I got used to using fabric pots and didn’t realize plastic pots would retain so much moisture…so I honestly...

Thanks for sharing! Love to see other growers timelines like this. I’ve been wondering if I’m spending too long in the rooter (roughly 2 weeks) so good to see someone else doing the same

I’m in soil. Gave up on this plant (and two others that had the same issue since January). The older ones kept cycling small new growth that would brown and dry out starting at the tips. This more recent one just stopped new growth altogether so after a week I said fuck it. Learning lessons...

True this strategy might be better suited to Auto grows than up-potting photos.

This is as good a guide as I have yet to come across - thanks for sharing. One thing I am learning that this article doesn’t really get into is a strategy for developing roots. I’ve recently been watering around the root zone during the first 3 weeks or so (basically the seedling stage) and...

Ahh no they were not. So you suggest mixing those additives in and letting it sit for a month?

Ah interesting. This bag has actually been sitting in my garage for almost a year now, but I’m almost done with it and I think I’m going to try ProMix HP next based on recommendations from other growers.

What do you mean by undercooked?
