Any negatives to mulching?

RoyalGreenGardenstarted grow question 4 years ago

Hi Green peepz, Just a quick one from my side. Are there any reasons not to mulch? It clearly helps to keep the soil from drying out but what are the negatives? Thanks in advance RoyalGreen Out!

MangoDuduanswered grow question 4 years ago

Insects can make home in there, un need that you pots don’t dry out? U can check only like a week? If not is useless, better leave the soil traspirate, no house for insects, and no overwatering problems

Did some digging and it seems MangoDudu is right, I will remove any mulching I currently have. The risk of my babies being Insect food is to high.

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down. Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low? I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping. Whats going on? Info in week 10.

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)? I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed). Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
