I'm sure this isn't an option for some, but if you can find the right container, I would put it in a grow space. Perfect conditions. Temp controlled, light source, etc. Working well for me currently. I mixed up a batch on Saturday, didn't water it yet, checked just now and the container is...

Actually I appreciate all the detail and time that took. Those symptoms are all very familiar. They didn't stretch AT ALL. Smallest flowered plants I've had.I think I will cool it on the tea a little. So that soil formla doesn't look low on N? I didn't have a great source of nitrogen. So I'm top...

I cant tell whether or not im having a ph issue or a P or K deficiency. I also cant figure out should I be ph'ing my tap water or not? i'll test it again but it comes out of my tap around 8.5 give or take. that seems very high. I did buy some Natural ph down from earth juice at the hydro store...

Soil cooked for about 8-10 weeks. I'll try top dressing

I would agree completely, except these plants have been in these pots for at least 4 weeks. Wouldnt I of seen it sooner?

Started showing this deficiency a week or two ago. Right before flipping to flower. The middle leaves get spots, then eventually yellow out and die. My soil mix 1 bag FFOF 1bag FFHF 1bag GO ancient forest Alaskan humus 30% perlite 12 cups EWC 2 cups kelp meal 2 cups 0-11-1 bat guano 2 cups...

When you break down what the person did to create their "Super soil" and what they spent, you would find that you are paying some of the highest margins out there for this soil. Get yourself a couple bags of your favorite brands soil, add compost, aeration, and maybe 5-6 solid amendments. Boom...

ok. would it be harmful to stick a few of those distributors into my soil? my plants are probably 3 feet tall and quite bushy about now. vegging longer than I'd for about 6 weeks now after some weird funk. Also, is one of their 5 gallon reservoirs going to be enough to water my (4) five gallon...

I hear good things about them. How many heads would you recommend for each 5 gallon fabric pot? Would you recommend the tropf or the maxi? I'm trying to go organic but how do you feed with this system if you needed to use liquid nutrients or compost tea? what is a good amount of moisture to dial...

So what are most folks primary source of N? Is it usually EWC? I was rolling over the idea of getting my own worm bin for fresh castings.

I was reading up on perfecting my water technique when I found these. I was always skeptical of auto drip systems, but I read that they are great for the living soil in organics. Does anyone here use them? There are a lot of things about them I dont quite understand.

I personally felt like 2cups wasn't a large amount, but what I feel doesn't really matter when I've never done this before LOL. But by ratio it didn't seem like a large amount. I was more worried about not amendingenpugh N because castings are only 1-0-0

It is at least 4 cu ft. 1 bag of happy frog is 2. 1bag of ocean forest is 1.5. The Alaskan humus is .5 which is 4.so its at least 5 then. Plus all my chunky perlite

Ok. What pump would you recommend for 5 gallon fabrics, one with a hose and separate sprayer? or a smaller bottle style?

Thanks for the tips, I'll get a pump sprayer soon. Hopefully it wont take forever to water my plants? Would you suggest I go from fabric to just plain plastic pots for side draining or is the pump going to fix my issue entirely?
