answered grow question 5y ago
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!

Mixing soils???
I’m about to plant some autos and I’m short a bit of soil I was planning on using. I have some Kryptonight aprox 3gallon and a mix of fox farm happy frog/ocean Forrest. I was thinking of mixing the 3 and spreading it between 3 3gallon pots. Anyone see any problems??

Will an air stone in reservoir of water under a fabric pot filled with soil contribute anything?
Soil based grow. 3 gallon fabric pot placed in a 5 gallon bucket, with holes drilled out the bottom. The 5 gallon has a reservoir below it. Can I throw an air stone in the reservoir w/ h20 and pump more air to increase oxygen or will the soil not benefit because it’s a hydro grow

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?

White mold?
My smart pot is turning white at the bottom. There also appears to be roots trying to pop through. I put rocks between the pot and plate for air. I have one blade of grass and a tiny weed popping up, so conditions at the top of the pot are okay. Should be worried?

ANY UK SOIL RECOMMENDATIONS ?
Hi Guys, can anyone recommend a commercial soil mix suitable for transplanting outdoors in the UK? I'm currently using Biobizz indoors but looking for a more readily available option as all the grow shops are currently closed leaving Homebase, Wickes or B&Q as my supply options.

Soil settled in the pot
I have auto flowers for a first grow. After about 4-5 weeks, The dirt has settled a few inches below the top of the 3 gallon pots (obviously didn’t pack it well enough). Should I just leave it as it is, transplant, or?

10g pots a good idea?
I am using 10 gallon pots on this grow with a mix of soils including some from the chicken coop (aged). As a new grower I see a lot of advice to go smaller. To me larger systems are more stable, am I off?

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 😞

Not watered for a week. Why does the soil not dry even from above?
Four fabric pots of 27 liters. Below is drainage from vermiculite, above is a layer of coconut, above is soil from peat, humus, sand and perlite, purchased. In the upper layer, perlite is twice as large.
