You're OK with that mix. Plants just want good soil and good nutrition, and they don't care about brand names. Many people will add perlite to the Happy Frog to increase drainage.
Good luck, have fun, and don't stress.
Good on 'Ya. We all learn with each grow, so put this in the memory bank and your next one will please you even more. You're the only one that needs to be happy here.
That's the idea. Longer cycle is easier on the plant, and with all of the media moist, the roots have more space to spread. They won't grow out into dry soil.
A detail or two would help, but in general, enough to saturate the media, then let it get fairly dry before doing it again. Don't fixate. These things are tough!
Yes, they chew inside and depending on the amount of damage they do, you'll see outer parts die off. Even with just a week or so to go, I'd spray because they are big eaters and you don't know how many more there may be. Aside from the chewing, their waste can cause mold. Get 'em quick.
Did you change their light schedule? They are the same age as the mother, so unless you give them more hours and reveg, they'll bloom and finish just like Mom.
"leafy" is parked. You mean leafly.com? They just redirect to Arizer and you can do much better on the price elsewhere. Watch out for Chinese fakes. The bottom of the real ones from Canada look like this:
Fakes are much different.
Excellent little cooker, but if portability is a priority for you I strongly suggest you handle one before buying if at all possible. It's thick and heavy. If you just look at price vs performance, it is very tough to beat this one.
Loss of volume. Loss of potency. Altered "profile", meaning effect, taste, smell.
What strains? Indoor or outdoor? In a now deleted post you said everyone told you to chop yesterday. Do you mean people here? If so, put them all on your ignore list!
Show some close shots of the buds themselves so we can better judge, but they both look young. Bottom one looks WAY early. Can't go by the shape of the plant, though. That's got nothing to do with it.
I love my fat marker Solo, but if you bring plug-ins to the discussion it really isn't the same discussion. And yes, very few, if any true pens can do flower well. That's just the reason I chose the Arizer.
