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!

Soilless PH window specific peat/coco/perlite mix
Ok I need the nail in the coffin guys. I’m using Fafard Root Factory RF C8. Picture shows ingredients. What is my ideal PH window for this type of mix? I’m also about to transplant. I normally just fill a pot, sprinkle Dynomyco, drop plant, fill in and water. Is this correct?

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?

Optimal pH for solution, when growing in 70% Promix BX, 30% perlite.
I'm having trouble finding reliable info regarding what to pH my nute solution to, I read that some like to look at it as hydro (technically soilless), and others view it as soil (due to being preloaded). So 5.5 - 6 or 6 - 6.5? HELP have done full grow using 5.5-6, peep the grow.

Soil recommendation? Typically use Fox Farms Happy Frog but price keeps going up and quality seems much lower, lots of sticks, not mixed well etc
Is there any soil recommendations anyone can make that are good but a less pricey? Dont get me wrong, I love Fox Farm’s, and 38/bag isnt terrible. I’m just curious if anyone has found a more mainstream soil that’s as good of soil. I also think their quality has been worse lately

Soil mixed with coco tips for a noob doing research
Hello friends, I intend to start a new grow and I have the biobizz light-mix and practically the entire range of fertilizers in my possession. What happens is that I have been suffering from water retention in the soil and I would like to know if adding Coco coir will benefit me

Best medium for autoflowers
What is your favorite growing medium for autoflowers and why? I'm looking to continue broadening my horizons with my next grow when I get more seeds. I'm pondering which method I want to try or if I'm going to stick with what I've got going on already.

Moss in 2nd week
Hey everyone, What should be the next course of action as moss has grown on the plants in the past two days (and it seems likely that the pH level is excessively acidic - source the internet)? https://growdiaries.com/diaries/169293-grow-journal-by-grizzlytwitterdruid

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?

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,

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c
Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.

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?
