Hey there 👋 Definitely go with fabric pots- it’s really helps let air to your roots, and makes sure your plants don’t sit directly in water. As far as soil- it’s truly up to you, and what is available in your area. I personally use fox farms happy frog and add in about 20% extra perlite. Happy Growing 🌱

I'm a big fan of just some smart pots. 5 gallon would do you fine and some fox farms ocean forest soil. Check out my first grow! I'm using both! Cheers and happy growing!

?Hey guys! I’m wondering wether I’m doing anything wrong? I’m following the Bizz nutrient schedule. At the minute it’s hot so watering probably every 2 days. The buds that have formed are quite small is this because my outdoor conditions are not great. I’ve had a lot of rain.

Indoor/Outdoor Grow Besides the risk of pests, is there any downfall to taking my autoflower outside sometimes to get more space and fresh air? The light I’m using is pretty small so I don’t think my plant is getting hit throughout the entirety of it. I’ve been taking it outside every other day

Will males revert back to veg if daylight is increased by only minutes daily?I'm flowering a male to create new genetics/seeds. I flower the males outside early spring (US - Michigan). Will more than 12hrs sunlight affect the males like it does females? Could I leave them outside without them reverting back to vegetative as the day hours increase?

Should I plant my autoflower out in full ground at end of week 5?My autoflower just started week 5 and she's looking really healthy. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to plant it out into full ground by the end of this week. Weather is supposed to be 20+ °C by then. Would the benefits of full ground outweigh the cost of "repotting" ?

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growing Hi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing. Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering. However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight) Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?
