Will this soil be too hot to grow my bud in?
Dawgssszzzstarted grow question 4 years ago
First time grower. Got fastbuds pineapple express germinating. I saw this medium posted in another forum and made it myself. Happy Frog Potting soil with blood meal, bone meal, fish bone meal, earthworm castings, dolomite. Too hot?

Its a high quality soil that runs hot. Most high quality soils do.
I used it back in the day before I got into TLO soils and making my own stuff. If you have access to that, get it. You can amend it with some coco (5-10%), regular potting soil (10-15%), or things like perlite for aeration.
It does contain some bark product fwiw.
So - not too hot on its own, but if you use a feeding program on top it will be overkill. I suggest having CalMag on hand and ready, and know that soil has everything in it to get a plant thru veg and into flower. You may need some PK boosters in flower with that auto.
Good luck.

lightsHow do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Yellowing leaves & tips curling down on 14th day. Coco / Autopot / Hesi / Mars Hydro fc-1500Would gladly use some help with my first grow 🙏
2 main reasons come to mind after googling:
1. I overwatered thinking it's hard to do since I'm using the Air dome.
2. Too intense light. Was checking a lot of growers that actually grow 24/0 and went for it 75% 40cm.a month ago

Buon giorno weed doctors, please help understand the issue, maybe smb has seen this before.

Doesn't spray the leaves, the membrane wasn;'t getting off w/o help. And I know it's not substrate - 2 other breeders germinated 100% and look healthy. TYSetup. Strain - Autoflowering
