"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?

Nutrients that work without spending alot
So my first round I used just store bought miracle grow nutrients. Im old school and that worked for reggie buds back then. But wont make the sane mistake this time, as even after low I think it lead to newt burn. Any recommendations that are not super expensive but work forsoil?

can coco seedlings be overwatered?
Have you had seedlings in a large coco container? I'm nervous about drowning them so I'm not soaking the coco, only about 500ml per watering. Growth seems good but I'd love another perspective

1/2 Strength Feeding for seedling in soil
I started feeding last week 5ml/gallon Fox Farm Grow Big. Soil is mix of Happy Frog / Peatmoss / Perlite and worm castings. I was told to feed light because there's so much food in the soil. Good idea?

Compensating for Effect of Supplements on PPM
I decided that my girls probably had a calcium deficiency from using distilled water. I added a cal/mag supplement and an enzyme supplement. Now my PPM is through the roof. Should I reduce nutrient levels so that I'm still in the desired PPM range?

Michor Riza
Hi, growmates! I've got a small trouble: forgot to put 'Michor Riza' under the siblings roots. Any tips how to fix this? Mb I can put MR spores in water? Or putting it in when I'll do transplantation (from 8l. to 15) will do the job?
