Go slow on how much you give them. Overfeed and your harvest will suffer. A little underfed is always the best way to go for big buds. Cheers

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?
I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?

I ran out of pH down buffer last week, so I haven't been lowering my pH in the last few weeks. The water I'm working with has a 7 pH level. Would this be ok until harvest or should I get more buffer solution?

Today, I switch a few over to Professor Bruce Bugbee's soil-less mix : 50% Vermiculite 50% Peat Moss (& some gypsum and dolomite lime..) However instead of using Vermiculite I put Perlite, like an idiot!š Should that be fine until ready to transplant to super soil in due course?
