Soil will never dry as fast as coco, wait until the top inch is completely dry before watering, and if you are using organic nutrients/living soil do not water until runoff, just until soil is saturated. Happy growing.

Isn't soil nice? I know coco sounds fun but damn if it's not expensive in the end. 🤘😤

Yea dean you are correct.. Growing in Coco Coir is Vastly different then growing in Soil. Growing in Coco is more like growing Hydroponics, a neutral growing medium where the water provides all the nutrients. Soil has nutrients.. does not drain fast.. Needs less watering and is a vastly different growing condition vs. Coco. Anyone who says Dirt and Coco are similar has been smoking some crack and/or has no idea what both growing mediums entail..

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

FlushingI fed nutrients instead of water flush to a plant in week 8 of flowering, the plant itself is ready to harvest. Should I wait a week to flush or will it be ok to harvest and dry as I do not want to wait much long it as the plant is in the perfect sweet spot to harvest.Week 8

Can I use this as a top dressing ? If yes, do I put it on top before or after watering ? Sorry if this seems daft, I'm used to bottled nutesGreat white shark Can I use this stuff as a top dressing ?? I've been thinking of doing so, but I'm worried it may affect the pH. I've been adding it to the water before feeding.
