    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    I water every other day. This is the 3rd watering with it doing this and is actually getting worse every time. I wanted to go bigger but limited on space, but i just bought some 7gal Air Pots which are same diameter just taller so shouldn’t be a prob. Vegging for 3 months was a bit much but is...

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    I use a gal per 5 gal pot, but now i cant even add enough water for it to make it past 1/2 way down. I mean they look healthy but wont stay that way unless i fix this.

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    Thats what i was thinking but didn’t think that could happen in fabric pots? Roots totally fill my 5gal pots and like i said i can see them over the entire top of the soil. Would i be able to cut open the pots and transplant or is it too late? When i was trying to break up the top to get it to...

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    Daytime, 78-79 and night time 70-71 and rh is set at 45%. I can see roots everywhere across the entire top of the soil, I’ve fed nutes almost every watering and when some of the soil settled a few weeks ago, I added some worm castings & Ancient Forest on top so wondering if that along with all...

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    So, I’m in 5 gallon smart pots and 2 weeks into flowering and now after only about 2 cups of water/nutes, the liquid will pool up on top of the soil and takes forever to absorb without reaching the bottom pf the pot? I vegged for roughly 11-12 weeks starting in Solo, the 1 gallon then into 5...

    Best light coverage for 10x5x6 tent

    So far so good. I have em like 5” or so from the top and don’t have a problem with burning. One thing I’ve been trying to figure out tho is, with me having the “A” type driver with the 2 built in adjustments for volt and current, is how they’re set with me taking em out of the box? Don’t know if...

    New grower LED light questions.

    I’m using the J series from Cutter, 8 strips per fixture running bout 300w. I mixed 4 strips of 3000k 90cri and 4 strips 5000k 80cri with heatsinks from Heatsink USA, Mean Well 320h-48a and I’m impressed on how they’re performing and plants are definitely looking better since I started using my...

    Best light coverage for 10x5x6 tent

    My damn OCD takes over and try to make it look clean as possible lol. It will look good tho, I’ll post a pic once I’m done with it. I need to switch these to flower ASAP as they’re already 3ft or more lol and its gonna be a tight fit. Good thing these lights are pretty low profile and gives me...

    Best light coverage for 10x5x6 tent

    Just thought of it but I can’t mount these to the heatsinks cause of the strips so thinking of just using some 2 way tape to hold them in place then i can use extra hardware I have like the fasteners that slide in there and the button heads to hold the driver to the extrusion.

    I decided to order some more 10 series 80/20 extrusion like I used for my framing but only got 1/2in high this time and gonna use 2 per fixture going across the top and mount my drivers to those. Will look really clean

    Best light coverage for 10x5x6 tent

    I’m in tents so I can’t screw it to ceiling, wall etc. You think maybe I could zip tie it and hang it from one of the support bars at the top? Wonder if that’d work? Thanks again bud!
