Awesome idea thanks for the suggestion on keeping the mix covered. Sounds like a really good idea once the plant starts drinking quick. I am using fabric pots so unfortunately i cant get any soil from there. Maybe i will just see what happens and buy some dolomite lime to top dress. Even if it...

I just did a little watering cause the plants were on the light side. I noticed the top of the mix is hard and crusty i am pretty sure because of the gaia green and me going overboard with adding them. The water pools on the top and takes a little to absorb in even when i watered in intervals. I...

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that but i need to get some distilled water first. I will update with the results. In the meantime if anyone has any more suggestions i would love to read em.

it just sat for a long time in the open bag. I didnt add any dolomite lime and i planted as soon as i watered so no cook time. I also just changed the light out from the 315 watt cmh to 630 watt which i think has increased the problem but i dont want to switch it back so i will see how things...

Another thing is we got really good tap water where i live and it says that we got .042 part per million of copper in our water so maybe it isnt enough.

All of my plants tthis far have had yellowing and my nugs arent as tight as my friends and was reading a copper deficiency causes problems with nug formation so i just want to try and get rid of this problem. Maybe i will try a couple different approaches. Try the kelp and use less worm...

Hey i am curious. Do you think using some liquid kelp would help? Maybe the problem is because i added gaia green bloom and this kinda got worse the day after but that seems quick for a dry amendment

Hey, i was wondering if you guys know what the problem is with these plants? From pictures i have seen online it looks like a copper deficiency. I am growing all organic pro mix hp with gaia green dry amendments and worm castings plus effective microorganisms and biochar with bokashi bran for...

Thanks for the quick reply. I believe i splashed the lower leaves but with the effective microorganism mix as i am not using synthetic nutrients. I think lots of the old growth was affected by underwatering and bad transplant job. Also i didnt add the 4/4/4 gaia green until after the transplant...

Hey, i got some plants going and lots seem to be having problems with brown leaves. I am pretty sure they were rootbound when only a week or so old. I am pretty sure they were underwatered when young before transplant because leaves started to turn brown when the mix was really dry. I was pretty...

Thanks for the advice. I planted it shallow so it wouldnt grow big. It was just a plant that was for fun. I never really thought about it but being so shallow it is probably not getting much airflow. I will hold off on watering till it is really dry or wilting.

Just took a pic of the outdoor plant. After being out in the direct sun and 32 celsius for more than 24 hours. First pic is yesterday the other 2 r today. It seems to be drying but really slowly for pro mix hp i feel.

Hey, here is a picture of the promix hp after sitting out loosely lying on the table. It is starting to dry on top but it seems to be taking a long time with it lying fluffed up on the table. There is also a picture with the measuring cup with the mix in it. I poured a bit of water through it...

Thanks for the advice. I just put 8 seeds (seedsman freebies instead of bomb seeds to try and not waste my good seeds as i have been chucking em) into a cup to start up another grow so i will probably try a couple with coco as i have some on hand and 6 of em with pro mix with different watering...

Wow. This problem seems to be unsolvable or not experienced by people as growers that have grown for years have no advice. I feel as if i am watering a potting mix that retains water for a long time. Once the plant is established it is good but takes so long because the mix seems screwed...

Here are some pictures. This plant is a few weeks old I believe. It has been sitting out in the sun and has been out there since its head popped out of the mix with 32 celsius weather for a week. The top will not dry out and has been outside in the sun for a few days. Here are some pictures of...

I am curious can soil be too loose for a plant to root out the medium. I am thinking it may be too loose at the top causing the roots to not spread out at the top of the soilless mix. The bottom has more compaction due to the water causing it to weigh down. I am also finding the mix to be weird...

Hey, I am still having problems with pro mix and maybe someone will be able to help now. The last grow ended up working out and I got good product but it took a long time to grow and have no idea why. Lets start by saying the pro mix has been sitting for at least a year and is bone dry in the...

The only thing that worries me is that they don't seem to be jumping at all. Just squirming in and out of the mix and walking around. Hope it is these springtail things though. Will have to watch a little more as I didn't pay that much attention.

awesome. Kinda what I was trying to do as I want to do organics. Just wasn't looking to get bugs quite yet. Only my 3rd grow lol.
