The richness of the soil does not matter. Your plant isn’t up taking nutrients directly from the soil. Instead, the microbes eat the organic matter and shit out the mineral form of the nutrients. The mineral form is then attracted to colloids in your soil and the roots feed off of the colloids...

If you use any bottled nutrients you’ll have to ph and that’ll kill your microbiology. If you want to do organics, I recommend not using anything bottled. Buy a bag of dry amendments. 4-4-4 all purpose for veg and 2-8-4 for bloom. I use Dr earth all purpose and dr earth flower girl!

Looks amazing!

Lookin good! You’ll get over a p for sure!

Looking good! How tall do they stand?

FFOF has enough organic matter in it. If I were you, I would go buy some organic worm castings and organic compost to mix into some soil. That’ll provide more food and nutrients to be broken down and absorbed by your plants

Don’t ph if you’re growing organics. Organic means NO BOTTLED NUTRIENTS! You pretty much feed the bacteria in your soil(water) and they go to work breaking down all the organic matter(poop, bark, moss, etc.) in your soil. You can mix in some molasses to your RO water to help feed the microbes...

This doesn’t explain the science of it, but it does give you an idea of what’s going on. https://www.growweedeasy.com/compost-soil-organic-cannabis#mix-own-organic-soil-recipe even has a good soil mix that you can replicate!

Exactly why you shouldn’t PH if you’re growing organics. Again, my plant has been grown seed to just before harvest with only watering RO water. No ph, no bottled nutes, just watering my soil when dry. And my occasional molasses, fish and kelp fert that I have. But that is just microbe food lol

Well... with my growing application I added a lot of fertilizer to my soil when I mixed it. I made sure it would be enough for my plant. I mixed FFOF as my base soil with Perlite, Malibu compost, EWC, and dr earth 4-4-4 and 3-9-4. I can’t Vogue for the OP, but if you’re adding the food, the...

That’s earth juice... they have their own product that they sell.. not knocking them, but if you’re making your own tea and you’re not feeding a bottled nutrient, don’t ph. Ph is not needed if you’re doing organics right. My single plant has been growing for about 6 months now, and I added not...

My plants smell when the lights are off and humidity is above 50%. Smells of sweet candy. I do sometimes have to squeeze a bud lightly to bring out the smell though. I’ll tell you what... you’re just nose blind and are probably walking around EVERYWHERE smelling like some fire :D I know from...

Do some research on cationic exchange. If you’re growing organically, then the microbes are what is breaking down the organic matter into mineral form. These minerals are attracted to colloids in your soil that feed your plant! Sure, you can ph your water. It is not needed and the chemicals can...

If you’re using compost teas, don’t PH. You’re not worried about your roots up taking nutrient water, instead you’re worried about the cationic exchange going on in your soil! I grow 100% organic and only watered with plain RO water, no PH. If you PH your water, it can kill the microbes in your...

Maybe next time I’ll run more plants. This is a single plant run!

Lol just train your plants!! That’s all I did haha. All my work was done when I mixed my soil!

You should be fine. As long as it’s not an every day thing you changing the lights on them. Just make sure it doesn’t happen again if you can!

Thanks!

Meh I didn’t go picking around much after that lol

Sweet :blsmoke: hopefully she finishes strong
