How long does silica take to start working? How often should someone add silica? Whats the most efficient use of silica, in other words whats minimum dosage to be effective? Is it bad to add silica every watering and feed?

Hey, So its been just under 4 weeks since I received my clones from a friend and they are growing lovely. I am now looking to start using nutrients as I've just been using bottled water up until now. My question was, I have a 5 gallon bucket with a pump I wanted to use as a reservoir for feed...

K so lately I've been trying to really science up my grow skills and I'm running into a ph problem in my res and I'm not even doing true hydro! I've got raised soil beds that I'm hand watering with a pump and wand and I've been noticing something I'll mix my res (proper order to minimize...

Im on my second grow. using LED. Still trying to figure out the whole nutrient situation. Do I feed only once a week? People always say feed every other watering... I don't know what that means?!? how often should I use cal-mag, little during Veg, increase during Flower?

Basically this type of mix doesn't come with any nutrients or fertilizer right? If you use RO water with this type of soil would you use a lower dose of liquid fertilizer every time you water? Or would you use it like the directions say every 1 2 3 etc. weeks? Just starting to think about...

Hey guys, I did my first attempt at cloning in water, and think I have a problem. I had the stems pretty far in the water so I have roots growing pretty high up the stem. Is it possible to cut part of the lower stem off so I don't have to plant the clone so deep in the soil. I have a picture of...

Dumb question coming right up. To those of you who scrog, how do you keep your tent clean after watering? Since you can't take the plants out, do you have them elevated in someway with a tray underneath that can be taken out and cleaned?

6 week flower -> ~20% amber, ~3 days ago fed light (1tsp big bloom, 1 Epsom and 1 gypsum) realized it was frosting- flushed it a few times in an hr, now soil is dry. Wanted to flush for 1~2 weeks but its ripe already, how should I go about prioritizing; amber%, salt buildups, and dryness of soil...

I ran out of water while trying to transplant two small plants from a solo cup to a 3 gallon container. I only had enough water to transplant one plant. Do I still need to give my plants chlorine free tap water (water sitting at room temp for 24 hours)? Or can i just give them straight ph...

What would be a good way to make sure my soil doesn't dry out too much, during the hot summers, if I have to be away for more than three days at a time? This is the main problem with where I chose to grow, I can only check on my plants once every three days. Is it even possible to grow outdoors...

I have previous "experience" growing organic in soil and I am about to switch to Hempy/Hydro with Perlite, Vermiculite or Coco. As most will usually do when they grow, they leave tap water out for at least 24hrs to let the chlorine evaporate. In an organic grow, I can see the chlorine really...

Hey guys, I'm new here and decided that maybe everyone could post some REALLY GOOD TIPS for first time growing. And I figure other people looking for tips as well could find this. So to start out and keep this brief, one day I got the cool idea to take some seeds from the last of my reggie and...

Hello all, I have been using distilled water throughout my whole grow so far just to be safe at least while my plants were still young. I found on a previous grow (my first, one plant, turned out male) that the plant didn't seem to like my tap water that much. And I know that it is actually...

Hey guys, so I'm in desperate need of some help. This is my first grow and maybe I'm overthinking it but I'm really worried I might mess up the only seeds and soil I have. So instead of germinating in a solo cup or paper towel, etc. I was stupid and planted directly into my 3 gallon Smart...
