I ask because I use Rootwise Mycorrhiza Complete and it’s 80% diatomaceous earth. DE is known for retaining more moisture so I’m wondering if this has been messing with my failed grows recently…failed due to overwatering

budzbuddha have you ever heard of or experienced diatomaceous earth water-logging roots and essentially creating an overwatered plant?

Hey all, I’m curious if anyone here has used Rootwise Mycrobe Complete and experienced water retention issues in soil. I grow in organic soil and have had some overwatering issues in recent grows. I’m using Aeropots now and am watering sparingly but still having issues with a few plants early...

It's honestly great for focusing on work and/or socializing - it's one of the few strains I can enjoy socially (in moderation, of course). I've been reading the same thing about Cinex and Vortex - makes people social - so I'm going to try those in the fall.

Not as much euphoria as other strains but I still love having them in my arsenal. You can always do a blend - I tend to mix them with pure cbd in the vape but there’s nothing stopping you from throwing something else like Acapulco Gold in the mix to dial up the happiness factor.

I’ve grown their Malawi and Bangi Haze. Both very uplifting with little to no crash. Perfect daytime strains for productivity.

Interesting timing given the recent TDG episode with Ethos Genetics. They open the show with test results demonstrating how autos are out performing photos. It's a specific sample size, so take it with a grain of salt, but interesting nevertheless. The guy Colin had some solid points...autos...

Yeah I checked DTE since that’s what I use and they recommend more like 2 tbsp per gal.

Awesome - thanks for all the info!

Thanks this is super helpful! When you pre-amend with GG, how many tbsp/gal do you typically drop in?

Hi all, I’m switching to ProMix and looking for insights or suggestions. In past runs I’ve used FFOF with 20% perlite, 20% EWC, DynoMyco and Dolomite Lime and then top dressed with DTE 4-4-4 and 4-8-4 throughout the grow cycle. I’m tempted to run the same recipe simply swapping FFOF with ProMix...

Very cool. I assume the plant was in just the root riot for 3 weeks or so before you transplanted? Would you recommend Root Riots over peat pellets?

You also bring up the notion of growing big ass roots. I feel like no one talks about this and I never hear anything about a ‘root-growing strategy’. it feels like such a critical thing to me - equally (if not more) important as paying attention to what’s going on above the dirt.

Can’t remember now since I trashed the poor plant, but all the levels were being monitored and within proper ranges. It’s not my first run so I was just doing what I’ve done before…I think I got used to using fabric pots and didn’t realize plastic pots would retain so much moisture…so I honestly...

Thanks for sharing! Love to see other growers timelines like this. I’ve been wondering if I’m spending too long in the rooter (roughly 2 weeks) so good to see someone else doing the same
