Can I pour the earth very hot in the blazing sun?
StDeacon
started grow question 6y ago
It's brutally hot with us and the plant looks like it wants water? Can I water the soil on the edge of pot watering without hurting the plant?

Id recommend giving them some water if its that hot. They are wilting slightly due to the heat, So maybe a small fan on low speed if you can.

Best medium for autoflowers
What is your favorite growing medium for autoflowers and why? I'm looking to continue broadening my horizons with my next grow when I get more seeds. I'm pondering which method I want to try or if I'm going to stick with what I've got going on already.

ANY UK SOIL RECOMMENDATIONS ?
Hi Guys, can anyone recommend a commercial soil mix suitable for transplanting outdoors in the UK? I'm currently using Biobizz indoors but looking for a more readily available option as all the grow shops are currently closed leaving Homebase, Wickes or B&Q as my supply options.

(2nd try) Growing in Coco - organic nutrients possible or only synthetics?
Can one use Organic nutrients + microbes when growing in Coco? I have two full bottles of Alga and Bloom and don't want to toss them. My tapwater is hard enough (now with proper pic) so Ca shouldn't be a problem 😂 What would be the advantages vs disadvantages?

False reading or Hi PH?
Is 20% humus lombrico mixed in my substrate giving a false ‘hi’ ph reading? Or is it truly over the max reading? I got one reading of 7 only at the exact second I took the picture, so I made a video. My water is high in calcium, I recently switched to distilled.

Too much soil?
I have 15L (4gal) fabric pots. The bag of soil contained 50L (13gal). It took me 1 bag and a quarter to fill 3 pots up untill the stitching. Am I doing something wrong? Could be that it has now more fertilizers in it than supposed to. Thank you

Fill up plant pots
I mounded the soil around the stems of my plants to give them extra support, which creates a small hill in the center of the pot. Now I’m thinking about filling up the rest of the pot with soil to level it out. Is that a good idea? And what type of soil would be best for it?

I'm using Cost of Maine Grower's Blend (Silver Bag) and am coming into the 2nd week or so of flowering. Do I need to top dress with any nutrients or is the soil enough on its own? Growing autoflowers in 3 Gallon pots.
