As promised, an update if problems arise with the nutrients. The red stems started creeping up again after my last post, prompting me to get a proper Ph pen. After mixing Mantis nutrients with my tap water (Ph 7.8~) the final Ph was about 5.5. A little low but still in range for coco. Maybe an...

3 weeks into flower. I've just been adding mantis nutrients to room temp tap water as per their directions, no fuss over Ph or any of that. The red stems didn't continue after switching it Mantis, so their Ph buffer is clearly working. They're each drinking about 1L of water per day. I'll only...

Moooving on, the Mantis Nutrients have been making a huge difference. Anyone wondering if its snake oil, not during veg at least. The plants have just finished a 36h dark period and have been flipped to a 12/12 light cycle, so I will update later whether the nutrients can feed a flowering plant...

That's totally valid, you aren't wrong and in fact I will happily recognize that they were very diplomatic in their replies. No pissing match needed, I even expressed in my reply that I would be willing to learn from them when I'm growing in the same conditions they are. Though, the original...

I was called retarded and diagnosed with ADHD in the very first comment, why expect anything else Mick? Its the internet, I won't be a door mat when someone wants to act like an expert without understanding the situation. However my poor attitude was in no way directed at you, your comment about...

If you know the properties of vermiculite and read the original post before sharing your opinion; your comment wouldn't have been along the lines of "your coco is too dry". I have no doubt that you are the leading expert on all things 100% coco, but this isn't 100% coco is it? I've already over...

To those who commented just to let me know I had problems already outlined in the main post, thank you for reminding me how illiterate the internet populace is. Yes not only did I know my plants were starving, I had also already resolved the issue! Old growth just doesn't recover and new...

With legalization in Canada, I've begun to grow again and have returned to the forums after a 5 year hiatus. Looking forward to learning from everyone and maybe entertaining a few of you with my journey, its bound to be a disaster in the first act!

Intro Hey, With the legalization in Canada, I've recently started growing again and quickly realized I had forgotten most of what I knew 5 years ago. With legalization I've been able to track down some proper stuff. I used to grow (believe it or not) with Miracle Grow nutes, Walmart energy...

If you're also trying to deal with humidity, they have humidifiers that release a "cool mist". That could be one possibility. Of course the best solution would be to get more air flow, and get rid of that hot air. Also, if its really hot in the middle of the day, but cool in the morning, and...

Sorry for such a late reply. Was in the process of moving :P Personally I have never ordered seeds online, though I know a few people who worship online seed banks. Although I believe most of them state that its not their fault if your country takes the seeds over legal reasons. Look into it...

Everything looks great. I wouldn't worry about a water sensor. After a couple grows you'll never over or under water. General rule of thumb here though, if the soil is damp less then an inch down but dry on top, you still don't need to water quite yet. you'll get a feel for it. Ph in your...

That soil is now a worm family's home. I got new dirt, and did not add anything as it was already enriched. It says 0.30 0.12 0.12 On the bag, 0.07 of each as a slow release. so that's much better. More reasonable anyways. My old soil was somewhere around 0.6 0.1 0.1 when I tested it. I...

Alright. If my soil has way too much Nitrogen in it (I know high nitrogen is good, but not this high), but the right levels of Phosphorus and Potash... Is it fixable, or should I just transplant my baby into fresh and proper soil? 1 month into Veg stage. I know the issue was probably caused by...

Well... Figured out my issue... Time to hit the boards and see if someone has a solution xD

Yeah Barnbuster, that is an issue with most inexpensive humidifiers. Although if you leave your water sitting for 24 hours before filling the humidifier, a lot of that disappears. Another solution is to use distilled water if you're growing money trees beside your pot xD although if money isn't...

She's gorgeous! She's loaded with trichomes. Yeah, its been a long time since I've grown anything, so I feel myself technically a noob, though an experienced noob (if such a thing exists)

While it may be true that our favourite plant grows fine in most conditions, giving it what it wants will always result in a slightly better grow. Of course 90% of it comes down to strain and genetics, keeping a proper temp/humidity can increase the potency of your bud a bit. Its the sole...

Thank you all! :D I am feeling a lot more relieved now, and will deffinately be looking forward to reap the rewards.

Well here's my situation. I have 1 plant. a month into veg. Its in a 3' x 3' room that is covered in plastic to keep moisture in. The room is very sensative to climate change, seeing as its so small. For the last month I've had a "Warm Mist" humidifier going in there, but with the plant...
