Rain and soilless medium question
Jesperadostarted grow question 5y ago
Rain is coming - about 60-70mm over the next week. I know rain won´t hurt my plants, but I´m growing in a soilless medium, so it will flush out the nutes, right? Place the plants inside? Add more nutes? Any best practice is greatly appreciated. Thanks 👍👍

kinda, but the nutes in the ground exist too... it won't just wash away in one rain. it likely will be more dilute, of course.
apply nutes afterward, and all is well again.
could cover them from rain.. but that seems like a PITA with potentially limited benefit for such efforts.
i think this'll be a non-issue for you.

Get like a greenhouse cover for them or move inside if possible. Rain is never a friend soilless. Sometimes just throwing a tarp over can help. Had a friend who covered his pot medium with aluminum foil so all the water ran off the sides! Hope this helps! Happy growing!

- I have a greenhouse ceiling that covers 50% of the terrace
- should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight?
- If so, how old the plant has to be to expose it to the sunlight? I don't want to burn my seedling

I'm a newbie and i don't know how i should water my seeds. Please helpI put seeds in a paper towel and then planted them in small pots but still nothing popped out of the soil. Should i use a spray bottle for now or should i just pour water on the soil? Cause i don't think spraying it reaches all the way down but i think pouring drowns the seed.Setup. Outdoor

Worth Adding / Building a 2 layer insulated, lit greenhouse at this stage?If my plants are surviving low light and nightly freezes with a simple hoop cover, is it worth putting lights over them and building a 2 layer greenhouse for insulation?
Looks like they have a week left, maybe 2, but I do have the materials on hand. worth it?

Best way to move outdoors?I plan on moving her outside in the 5 gal grow bag outside in a few weeks once she's matured a bit. I've been using ph 6.5 balanced tap water in a tent to water thus far. Should I still be measuring ph when I'm watering outside? Won't rainwater undo any ph balancing?Week 1

Limiting bud rot outdoorsLooking for tips to prevent mold/bud rot outdoors. We've had a wet and humid summer and not sure if we'll get drier weather this fall. Any advice? Have heard both yes and no for defoliating. They seem pretty healthy so I'm hopeful they can resist.Week 14

Suggestions as to why this plant is a mess!First grow - Blueberry Auto outdoor. Pathetic thing is on day 36 from direct sow. White splotches since week 2. Subjected to excessive heat, an oversized garden bed, lack of sunlight and overcompensating with supplemental grow lights. CoM organic nute/soil. Any solid diagnoses?

Perfect Mainline End look for maximum yieldFirst decent mainline grow from seed. Still learning. Avoided keeping tiny branches to avoid popcorn buds. Now that they are still vegging but have the shape I want, do I leave the branches now? Or chop tiny low ones to try and get THICK single nug branches?

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growingHi 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?
