soil takes 7 days to dry
handamanstarted grow question 5y ago
soil takes 7 days to dry out.. on last feeding I tried using lower amount of water, I also drilled few holes to one flower once already.. is there something I can do about it? I think low temperatures might be reason for this and lack of perlite

7 dayys is along time, and awelccome invitiation for pests
do it as you mentioned and try smaller amounts between 0.3 and 0.5 l each plant
check them daily,,,,, if the soil is knuckledeep dry.. water again...
feeding: never feed in dry soil....... so just water tthem with the half of pure water,,, then go with your feedding mix

Water to runoff in organic growsHello. Organic grower in soil here.
Do you guys always water until runoff? I’m afraid to wash away nutrients she hasn’t yet absorbed. I know in watering I’m giving her new nutes, but as I understand it’ll take some days until she can absorb them from the soil.Feeding. Schedule

Why is my plant growing extremely slowly?This is my first Propperty grow and the photo is after almost 4 weeks of growth, I’ve been giving nutes in reasonable doses and the first 2 and a half weeks was mostly cloudy and rainy but since then it’s been sunny, did the cloudy start affect it that much? And what should I do?

watering 20 gallon potI am concerned that I am not seeing any run off from watering since I put the plants into 20 gallon pots. They seem to be growing fine and I only put about 1L of water daily and the pots go dry. Should I increase my water volume until I see run off and decrease frequency?Week 8

Adding nutrients in Coco / Soil mixSay I'm mixing organic potting soil and coco coir in a 5 gallon pot. At what mix should one consider starting to add nutrients?
Ex: 100% coco would require full nutrients.
Would 50% coco require half nutrients? Or would that burn the plant because the soil should have plenty?Feeding. Schedule

NutritionsI had started giving my plants nutes, but then started seeing minor nute burns, so I left them to dry out abit and gave there last feed just water. Now my question is now they are flowering shall I give them any nutes yet? Or just water for the moment till they use up the soil?

Nutrient scheduleThis is my first run with nutrients And I was wondering, how do you guys feed your plants?
Do you feed them once a week?
I’ve been feeding my plants every other day when I water them at half the recommended dose and it seems to be working but I’m not exactly sure.Week 6
