Should i be Worried about soil?

Don’t laugh at my set up guys with my foil this was a grow i didn’t take serious at first but now I’m starting to.ordered a grow tent and everything else...i know My perlite mix is off due to my last post, just worried because the soil is kind of taking a while to dry on 1 plant. I havent Watered in about 4 days idk if that’s normal for FFOF soil. Should i be Concerned?

I remember reading foil has the worst light reflecting,white paint was better IIRC.

Thanks man, when should i FIM OR TOP off and which do u recommend, also when or should i give Neuts

Yea if you have white walls behind the foil, get rid of it. Other then that, plants look in great health. Also....you want to have a few days between waterings. The dry period is just as important as the wet period. Good luck.

When do i fIM or top my plants and give neuts

Usually top after the 4th or 5th node on average. As for nutrients, FFOF has more then enough in the soil to get the plant a good 2-4 weeks. When you do start feeding, start at a low dose, like no more then 25% of recommended dosage.

The larger pots you should be good for close to 4 weeks.

Top now if ya want.. You wont need nutes for a couple weeks.. Once the leaves turn lighter green, then ya know they need to be fed. Fox farms soil can feed most strains a month before they need food.

What neuts/ brand would u recommend

Jacks classic 20-20-20.. I use this the whole grow on most strains start to finish...




Some strains get the 20-20-20 until they halfway through flower..then I switch to this



If you grow in soil and alternate every time from feed-water... You'll never have deficiencies or salt build up..its idiot proof.

Yeah a tent is definitely better, especially for ventillation and environment control.

I use the panda film right now just to block off enough space for one mother plant and a light, so ventillation and env. control arent as important, but tent is best.

My Happy Frog gave full nutrition for 9 weeks, then bam nothing. I used GH 3-component in a “drain-to-waste hydro” mode which finished them nicely.

Your plant looks very good imo.

I also recommend flat white paint.
