Declining soil level in pots - top them off?
StunFlowerstarted grow question 4 years ago
When I set up the pots for my outdoor grow I filled them about 1" below the top of the container. Since then, the soil mix has settled to the point where it is now about 4" below the rim of the pot. Do I need to be concerned? Should I be topping it off?

You can if you want. You say it's a 7 gallon pot so you probably have 4.5-5 gallons of soil. That is plenty for an auto. If you want to top it up do it when she flips to flower. Add 1.5-2 inches of pre moisten soil with the start of flower nutes and give a lite feeding.

Приветствую, бро! В случае просадки субстрата, рекомендуется восполнить его уровень до ранней отметки, предварительно слегка вспушив верхний слой (1 - 3 сантиметра) старой поверхности, желательно это делать осторожно, не повреждая корни у поверхности субстрата. 👌😇👍 Обычно усадку субстрата даёт агрессивный полив, возможно вам поможет в будущем идея применения капельного полива, чтоб исключить размыв или усадку субстрата. 😉 Удачи, бро! 👋

Small EOL bananas, longer riping worth it?I've got some small bananas on my Euphoria from RQS (in my diary). I was close to harvest (probably in a few days). Do you think I can wait few more days for the trichomes to get more ripe without having to worry about pollination and microseeds? Just asking out of curiosity :)

The question is as follows. I decided to flush with distilled water and citric acid. Is this ok or not a very good idea?

About NutrientsHello, there are two issues I'm curious about. First of all, does A.N Revive benefit the plant during the transplant process? 👽
My other question is, do you prefer Carboload or Budcandy? Is there any extra benefit to using both together? 🙌Week 2

Soil problemsSo I have switched my grow medium to soil and perlite from Bat-special. I give my plants 2L of water every 4 days but the soil never holds the water as all of it comes out the bottom. is this normal? there is so much runoff. 2L of water shouldn't be pouring out a 25L pot.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?
