Water and the air should be enough. Some use seaweed and seaweed type products.

Mesh plastic pots and root health?Is using these mesh plastic pots going to give me issues with lights getting to the roots for young seedlings? I plan to transplant into fabric pots well before they fill these up with roots, but they will likely be in these mesh plastic pots for 2ish weeks.

Roots sticking out in 3 gallon is this normal 2 weeks after transplant?I grow in a 3 gallon and the roots are sticking out beneath but the plant has not substantially grown and she only got transplanted 2 weeks ago to this pot. Is this normal for fabric pots? I read that it’s normal for the roots to shoot down first and than fill up the rest?

Should I be planting my seeds deeper?Should I be planting my seeds deeper? I’m seeing what look like roots trying to grow from the stem about 1/2”-3/4”up from soil level. Planted seeds about 1/2” below soil. How deep do you plant your germinated seeds in soil?

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?

Tierra compactaCompact soil, I don't know what it could be due to or what could cause it.
Can it affect my grow?
How should I "aerate" the substrate?
The plant is healthy, but I'm worried it might affect it in the future.
I hope you can help. A hug to the community and long live cannabis!! ✌️5y ago

Pulgones o larvasRoot aphids or mosquito larvae/fly? I really have no idea what they are, it's my first experience in hydro. They float in the water, I don't know if they cause harm or if they help, also what they provoke, where they come from, and how to get rid of them. They've been there for a while. Thanks

when to transplantSo, this is the first time I've gradually increased pot size as I feel they need it, instead of planting seedling straight into pots as one does with autos. How long should these girls stay in there pots before they move into 3 gals?Week 4

hydrogen peroxide to do or not to do that is the question?anyone have any positive results from using hydrogen peroxide in their resevior tank. im sure if your using organic nutes its probably not a great idea because HP breaks down organic matter into o2 but im not using organic nutes and my thought was to use it to control alge?Week 9

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????6y ago

What size pot for final homeI am ready to transplant this girl. I have a 7 gallon plastic pot or a 30 gal tote from big lots I can drill holes in. Is the 30g overkill considering I only have 2-4 weeks until flower or will a increase in yield make it worth it? It has been in a 5g outdoors for 3 weeks.

Nutrients Uptake Issue2nd grow, Black Orchid & Purple Punch autos in 13L pots, week 9, short & slow. 18/6 TS1000. LST went wrong, defoliation once a week. Soil surface dry, pots heavy. VPD ok. Feeding on 3-day cycle:
Flower nutes + molasses
Nutes + PK + CalMag
Nutes + silica
Water uptake dropped—why?
