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

Feeding After Trauma Question
I will feed super lightly tomorrow on August 7, but want to what other growers think. Kaboom toppled over on August 3. I refrained from feeding to allow her time to stabilize and have only watered once since the fall. In your grower opinion, was waiting to feed necessary? thx 😊

"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?

Alien mind reading on 100%Coco grow.
Hi, Trying to tune in feedings and watering in a 100%Coco grow "without" an EC meter (I have and it's my safety net for this trial) I left a note on how I'm doing it on the description of 1st week of the only diary I have. Posting some pictures soon. Give me your insights please

what EC do you feed and how often?
I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.
So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself

Will excessively aerating and circulation change the PH?
I have a reservoir which holds my nutrients until they need to be used. Recently I had added in a pump for circulation in addition to my air stone. Since then my solution has been rising to over 7 within a few hours. I adjust back down and it goes back up again? What the heck?

Overfeeding in flower, Flushing in Coco Coir
Hi my plants are very dark green due to overfeeding: I mistakenly fed 4ml/L of Canna Coco A&B for over a week, although 3.5ml is the recommended amount by Canna Now the buds smell pretty bad Should I flush with water, or just half strength nutes? Would this affect my yield? Thx
