Mixing soils???

HeavyHeadstarted grow question 4 years ago

I’m about to plant some autos and I’m short a bit of soil I was planning on using. I have some Kryptonight aprox 3gallon and a mix of fox farm happy frog/ocean Forrest. I was thinking of mixing the 3 and spreading it between 3 3gallon pots. Anyone see any problems??

Hey there AlternateRick , that should be totally fine , the only trouble i see if the packages are already open is that they're probably contaminated with white fly bugs. It's not your fault but i noticed they always appear after a while. The big advantage with "horticulture-grade" soil is that it's steamed meaning sterilized meaning no bugs. So what you want to do is basically take the soil and spread it out on a tarp and leave it out in the sun for a few hours, the insect eggs will hatch and the bugs will fly away which does help down the line with bugs and pests. does that make sense? hope this helps ! 🚀

Growth I believe this to be mycorrhizae that was moving between pots I had touching and premoistened. Any second opinions? Doesnt look like mold. Puts off no spores when disturbed. Does not have that mold smell. Anyone else ever see this?

Overwatered cubes in hydro? Too close to the sun? or effect of having add Hi All, I have issues with my first hydro grow - i effed up. I think i was too slow in the transfer over in the tank. Light is 200 PPFD, EC at 0.6, and barely added any nutes. Did i manage to overwater some of these plants by having them too close to the net pot?

Mold on soil I used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

PH-Problems in Soil Before repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?
