Thanks for the responses. Yeah, I guess I'll go with "soil". Worm castings can be considered a biological component of soil. There are worms in soil, right? Compost is organic matter, full of organisms and even though it may be only 5% of soil makeup, we all know its benefits. I have plenty of...

Hi, I'm not new to growing, but new to this mix. I want to make sure i get the pH right, so should i consider this soil or soilless? Medium is roughly Compost 30%, Promix 20%, Earthworm castings 20%, perlite 30%. Thanks!

yes, hard to overwater, so i've read. Thinking about letting pots go to the dry side for 3-4 days, just give them less water and let the roots stretch and harden as they search for water. The I'll start bumping up the watering frequency until at least twice per day, keeping the medium fairly wet...

thnx, pl. yes, first flood occurs soon after lights come on. The second flood came on a couple hrs before lights out. I skipped flooding the second time this last 24hrs. I'm going to see how it goes flooding just once per day. Hope I'm not losing opportunity to feed the plants better by cutting...

one of my biggest fears is root rot, after that, fungus knats...

right, hydroton doesn't hold water much...

Hi, Have a couple decent grows under the belt but first time for ebb and flow. Have 50 clones in one gallon pots in 4x6 tray under 2 1k's. 70/30 coco/perlite. The first day I watered twice, early and late in the light period. Moisture content was still sky high on the second watering and I worry...

Sorry, "repeat with promix"? keeping it simple, agree, but GH's feeding schedule shows 6 products plus 2 optional. That's a lot of stuff. I know many of the nute companies suggest a "big three" regimen, like FF's Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom, which I've been using. But then again, they...

ah, i see. wow. no, very useful, appreciate the info they'd get too big for the room, yes? that's what i need, more space. so, if you don't mind my asking, what is your basic nute regimen, without giving up any state secrets. : )

oof! hmm. really nice there, ricky. that make sense and worth remembering you only top once? yeah, i'm good at finesse bending and if i can get away without tying, so much the better. I don't know whether to do 2 plants in my 4x6 (have 2 1000w) or 4. only reason i wonder about 4 is hedging...

So, that's a factor I'm trying to figure out. Six pots, 5, 7 or 10 gal would all fit in the space. Two things about that,(1) time necessary to veg plants to take full advantage of pot size and (2) would plants get too big for the 4x6 space (height is not an issue).

GC is known for being fast, 49 days and def could have cut them then, but let go to day 53 for trichs to show the way i wanted. Wow, 15 day flower? Did you figure out why? thnx!

I have one grow under the belt. It was successful, but failed to impress. Indoor, SCROG, 4x6 area, veg with T5’s, flower with 2 1000w HPS. Battled modest spider mite invasion and won. Nipped powdery mildew in the bud. No obvious nute lockout, nor burning. Humidity well controlled, got the...

I know : ( The part I do have familiarity with is when to cut, trichs, clear, milky, amber, percentages of, etc. It's still early, they're crystal clear...

Thanks, Gramaw. I think I got it under control with the Revive. It kinda looked like N deficiency or Mag, except that the veins went yellow and it took time for the rest of the leaf to do the same, opposite what all the pics show. The buds and their leaves look fine and I removed a lot of fan...

Yeah, I can work the room in the dark, no prob... thnx, bl4ze

thnx, what kind of foliar would you recommend?

18/6? Yes, all during veg they got 10-10-5 and did great. Started bloom fert at beginning of 12/12 which is 4-10-7, a significant drop in N, so not certain there's been an excess.

Scrog, soil pots, Green Crack, sativa dominant, 50 day flower time: Day 21 flower. This all may be fine, but I’m a nervous first-timer. It probably started last week, but really didn’t notice till now. A few of the leaves are starting to turn yellow. And not the usual yellow leaves/green...

I've always had an interest in sog, the idea of stand alone colas was intriguing, may still try it sometime. But, can't you still get a comparable yield with a 12 plant scrog?
