From what I see it looks light and fluffy and not over watered. Should be perfect for a seed to take off in. Best of luck with your grow!

Can I pour the earth very hot in the blazing sun?
It's brutally hot with us and the plant looks like it wants water? Can I water the soil on the edge of pot watering without hurting the plant?

Do I need to add nutrients to a premixed soil?
I'm using Cost of Maine Grower's Blend (Silver Bag) and am coming into the 2nd week or so of flowering. Do I need to top dress with any nutrients or is the soil enough on its own? Growing autoflowers in 3 Gallon pots.

Can you please tell me if the sides need to be covered with earth?
When I covered the soil in the beginning it wasn't like that, but after waterings the soil shrunk and now there is space between the pot fabric and the soil. Should I add more soil to avoid root problems? And also the water drains down there and quickly runs downhill 😞

adjusting ph level with BioBizz Light Mix and coco mix
I have been adjusting my ph level to around 6.2-6.5. Now I'm wondering whether this was a mistake (see previous post), since I'm using BioBizz Light Mix (60%), coco coir (30%) and perlite (10%) as my substrate. Our tap water has a ph level of about 7.3.

Ok so yeah definitely seeing a problem here, BAD batch of happy frog. First time in soil, just got a blue lab pen, Calibrated and checked, & my PH is reading 4.9-5.0 on my soil. What do I do to get that number up for seedlings, as well as treating 5 bags of soil entirely??

PhUp P.Hydro vs. P.Carb vs. Both
Potassium Hydroxide Vs. Potassium Carbonate : or Both for PH+ up. Does one have lower EC value in solution when used? Does ones have better stability in solution for hydro or soil? Does one have more reactivity with other elements in the grow? Does one have higher PH? Cheers,

The possibility of using runoff, oxygenated, tested, adjusted to hydro levels and reused? Will it work or have I wasted money again?
I'm using my own mix of soil composed of approx. 30% advanced organics potting soil, 30% peat, 15% coco, 15% perolite, 10% .5x.5x.5 compost. I am using a drain table and 2- 40 gallon fabric pots, capturing all my runnoff into a large tote that is being oxygenated, will this work?

Lebende Erde spülen
Ich weiß, bis zur Ernte dauert es noch. Aber da ich rein organisch anbaue, stellt sich mir die Frage, ob ich vor der Ernte spülen soll. Macht es Sinn -oder ist es überhaupt möglich- eine lebendige Erde zu spülen?

Perchè le mie piante non crescono? Sono germogliare da dieci giorni, ma per ora hanno sviluppato solo 2 foglie e 2 ne stanno spuntando. L'acqua che gli do è dosata in base al loro peso da secche. Il substrato non è molto drenante forse è quello?
