Muddy soil
GBaalrstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hey everyone. My soil ... It just isn't drying out . How can I help it? The plant is basically stunned into its third week and not 5 cm even. Soil is all muddy after 5 cm . Can I mix perlite? It's in direct sunlight for like 15 hours a day.

Yes, perlite or vermiculite are good additions. Even when using a prepared potting soil I will add so 1/4 of the mix is perlite for good drainage and aeration. Outside though you can't control the rain so a mound or the bucket idea might be a good option. I've done the bucket with no bottom for many different types of plants and it can work well.

Just let it dry out, elevate off the ground and maybe top dress with perlite. Water by weight. If it’s light, water—- heavy, no water. Good luck! We all over water at some point or another. ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

Hello. I would like to suggest making a mound by mixing in to the soil some,- perlite or vermiculite or peat moss or straw or sand. You can also cut the bottom off a 5 gallon bucket and fill with mixed soil and let the roots grow down at their own pace. Chuck.

Problem: two girls one tent, 40x40, an Auto and a Photo, both ~30 days old. Poor decisions and bad planning got me into this How would you proceed?Are there good options w/o killing one so the other could properly grow? Is it a good idea if I flip the light from 18 to 12 only when the Auto is done? Or my friend suggested to gradually reduce the light hours over the next two weeks to less stun the Auto? Maybe better ideas?ty

How is she looking?Honest opinions please
I've not had much time to keep a proper diary on this one but I feel like I have almost cracked this strain. She was slow for a couple weeks after transplant but no real shock.
Now in mid flower
How does she look and what could I do better?

Same Soil

Same temp and RH
Same light cycle
Same air circulation
DIFFERENT Lights. 100w vs. 240w (50% power)
DIFFERENT Tents. 2x2x4.5 vs. 3x3x6 Thanks everyone!

Temperature too High, Can’t bring down.This is my first indoor grow and I’m having problems keeping the temp down from the higher 80’s while I have my light on, and I’m just barely hitting 79 when it’s off. Starting to get concerned as my seeds are just beginning to sprout and i don’t want them to endure any stress.

First flowering? - is it the right time? Also, 'claws' on the tip freshest leavesIs this a first flower on BPP? I have no idea when to start with Bloom/Topmax, is this the right moment for this plant?
Also, you can see the little 'claws' at the tip of freshest leaves, just on top. Is this caused by putting the light source too close? It was 40cm,now 47/18,5
