Nugsnugzstarted grow question 4y ago

Don't start your seedlings in a "hot" mix, just normal soil. When staging your final pot, use your hot mix in the bottom third of your pot with a lighter blend up top. The plant's taproot will go digging when she gets hungry.

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?

PH-Problems in Soil Before repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Hope this is ok to post, looking at having a go at hydro on my next grow mainly to cut down on maintenance. What are people’s thoughts on the two systems one is stranded bubble the other one has a dripper I’m guessing will help at beginning of the grow. Thoughts please 🤙
