*Check out Summer of Soil Tent 2 for killer results. This tent was grown with the following method and resulted in inconsistent growth and major pest problems. Soil 1/2 Fox Farms Ocean Forest 1/2 Recipe 420 Soil 1/2 cup Dr Earth All Purpose 4-4-4 3/4 cup Dr Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 The above was mixed in 5 gallon fabric pots. The plants did not get ph'd water and major ph issues started in week 5. The plants became weak and thrips and whiteflys took over the tent starting in early flower. Tent 2 is four feet away and both tents are open at the same time. The thrips and whiteflys visited and never decided to stay. There is zero damage or evidence of pests in Tent 2. Pests do not like healthy plants. The lesson I learned here is to not mix these soils at transplant and to ph the water. Check out Tent 2 to see what a healthy grow looks like.

This Tent is done. The whiteflies and thrips have taken over and it's a total disaster. I harvested only one plant, the Nirvana Rasperry Cough #2. Everyone else went in the garden bin. What a shame, but the lesson learned is one I'll never forget. Always ph your water. These plants did recover from ph problems but the damage was done and the insects had already taken over the entire tent. Check out Tent 2 to see what a healthy grow looks like. *** Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil is ph buffered. I mixed this soil with another soil at 50/50 and the soil could no longer buffer itself. Had I ph'd the water, this tent would have yielded some killer buds. Instead they all ended up in the trash. PH your water!
