It's peat, so not soil, but also not quite hydro. I've adjusted my target feed/water pH for it (down to 5.8-6.2) and I know that it doesn't have or hold nutrients. My setup is a little wonky right now because I'm using blumats, but generally I feed/water every other or feed/feed/water. I don't know that it qualifies as organic, but that may just be in the sourcing/harvesting. I'm not all that interested in jumping through organic hoops.
Hi
That tends to happen when the OPs question gets answered within the first few posts and the thread continues on.
I use to use 5 gallon fabric pots for my girls. I have noticed that with using microbes, my plans are often root bound, so I've actually moved up to 7 gallon pots
What do you define as root bound?
In a 5 gallon pot 3 gallons would be the root ball.
that sounds about right...i use 3 gallon hempy buckets, and i might get a gallon of coco back out of them when i reclaim it
Where does it go Rodger?
I am happy with the quality of buds I grow. But I never seem to get the weight that I'm looking for. Do you think using organic nutrients will increase the volume? I just started using nectar of the Gods 3 weeks ago.
Yeah, I try to keep my plants small and don't veg for extended periods since I have size limitations (also use limitations, we just don't go through a whole lot)...I'd be comfortable in 3g pots and know that the roots would really inhabit ALL the medium pretty compactly. Roots extend to the outsides of the 5g's but don't really have compact density that I'd associate with being root bound.
organics is a whole integrated thing, and to get the most benefit out of it, you have to do the whole thing.
oops, forgot the link somehow
