I mixed up a large amount of super soil to last me for the year & put it in big plastic bins with the lid on. I turned it once after the first week of baking. Do I need to keep turning it every few weeks or is it ok to leave as is? I'm afraid of it going anaerobic

Hi, I've been keeping this mother in veg for about 3 months now. She's in a 5-gallon fabric pot filled with 1/3 super soil (subcools recipe) & 2/3 FFOF + FFLW. She's been fairly healthy until 2 weeks ago where she started to show signs of a nitrogen deficiency (oldest leaves started to yellow)...

Is it normal for a healthy mother to produce a few yellow leaves? I would assume the oldest leaves should eventually reach maturity & start dying off even if the plant isn't put into flower (natural cycle for leaves to start dying). Does anybody know if this is normal?

I'm fairly new to growing cannabis, and I'm having trouble understanding how to water my plants. Many people say with super soil, you don't want to water until you get runoff, but even if I put 1/4 a gallon in my 5 gallon pot, I will IMMEDIATELY get run off. If I left that runoff sit, it will...

I'm seeing some phosphorous deficiencies in my soil, and I'm wondering what's the organic approach to fixing this? I know I can water in or top dress some amendments, but it would take a long time before that material is broken down & available. I've thought about making an AACT with some high...

I have some Afghan in a 5 gallon with 1/3 super soil at the bottom (subcools recipe) & FFOF + FFLW on the top. My plant has been otherwise healthy so far, but is now starting to show some signs of rust. I've been feeding it half tap water & half RO water (tap water here is too heavy in...

I'm keeping my mother in subcools super soil recipe. She's been healthy for a while now but is starting to show some CalMag deficiencies + nitrogen deficiencies. What's the best way to get her more nutrients? I was thinking of mixing in 1/4th the original amendments she had in the super soil...

I'm having a real tough time germinating seeds. I soak my rapid rooters in RO water overnight, drop the seeds in and place in a humidity dome under a seedling mat. I can always get them to sprout, but can't keep their roots healthy beyond that. I was told to wait until they had a few roots...

I'm noticing light green growth on all my new plants. The odd thing is that they're all in different mediums. I have one in coco soil & I'm only feeding GH nutrients and 2 in different super soil mixes. For the coco & super soil mix #1, I've been feeding it a mix of RO water + dechlorinated tap...

I have 2 600w HPS currently in my 5x5, but I want to switch to LED because my energy bill is crazy. I've been looking at a few different lights, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the options out there. My current top choice is the Mars TS 3000W, but wanted to see if anybody had any better...

I'm a pretty nooby grower & I started noticing my plants sometimes twist upwards after feeding. The twisting goes down after a few hours, but it does look odd. Is this normal? This is in a 1 gallon FFOF being fed RO water Before After Feed

I have some young plants in a solo cup filled with FFOF. I've been feeding it RO water only & I believe I'm starting to see a CalMag deficiency. Does FFOF need a CalMag amendment if you're only feeding RO water? I was thinking of adding a little bit of powdered dolamite lime, but wasn't sure if...

I have some Afghan in solo cups filled with FFOF & it looks healthy to me; however, it's 2 most bottom leaves are yellowing & looking like they will fall off some time. Could this be a nitrogen deficiency, despite them constantly praying & not really looking pale. I thought FFOF was more than...

I have some Afghan in a 1-gallon pot sitting on a bottom 1/3 Subcool Super Soil & a top layer of FFOF & FFLW as my base soil. I didn't let the super soil bake, instead I inoculated it with some compost tea & then transplanted out of my solo cup into my 1 gallon. She hasn't been happy since the...

I mixed up about 15 gallons of subcools soil recipe, sprayed it down with some aerated compost tea, then put it in a plastic storage bin with the top slightly cracked. What's the best way to store this? Can I leave this in my garage as is, or do I really need to keep mixing it every week?

Hey, I have this one in a 1-gallon fabric pot with coco soil. 6 days ago I fed it GH nutrients using the instructions on the bottle for seedlings (1 tsp of each in a 1 gallon) PH'd to 5.8. She started growing rapidly after this feed but also started to develop white spots that eventually...

Any recommendations for cleaning & storing my compost tea brewer? Whenever I brew compost tea, I scrub the bucket, air stones, and tubing with hot water & dish soap, rinse heavily with water to remove all soap, then fill up 5-gallon bucket with hot water + 2 tsp of bleach. I let this sit...

Does anybody know what could be causing these dark purple/pink edges on my fan leaves?

Which strain had the widest fan leaves you've ever seen? I've seen some Afghan strains with leaves that are almost 3 fingers wide. Anybody know of any strain with fatter fan leaves?

Fairly new grower here. I put together my own soil mix consisting of compost, blood meal, bone meal, azomite, worm castings, neem seed, bat guano, and rice hulls. I potted it 30 days ago and have been watering it once a week to keep it damp while it cooks. I may have put a little too much water...
