Is it better to adjust nutrition if using soil from a previous grow?
One of my grows is nearing the end and is being flushed this week ready for the chop on Saturday. Do I need to adjust the feed schedule for the next grow to account for any residual nutrients in the soil from the last grow? I am using BioBizz Light-Mix soil & full BioBizz range.

How do you wash your coco?
I'd like to reuse my coco, so just wondering how some of you that use it wash yours in prep for another grow. I had issues with gnats so I want to be sure the coco is pest free before I use it again. I don't have lots of gadgets so tips on how to physically wash it wd be helpful

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.

Too much soil?
I have 15L (4gal) fabric pots. The bag of soil contained 50L (13gal). It took me 1 bag and a quarter to fill 3 pots up untill the stitching. Am I doing something wrong? Could be that it has now more fertilizers in it than supposed to. Thank you

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)
The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?

Erde ohne Perlite
Gibt es eine gute Erde fĂŒr den Cannabisanbau, die KEINE Perlite enthĂ€lt? Canna Terra, Plagron und Biobizz enthalten offenbar in allen Mischungen Perlite, ich möchte dieses aber selbst zufĂŒhren. Perlite bekomme ich fĂŒr 9 Cent das Kilogramm (5-10L)

How many and how large plants in a 4x2 tent for a quick veg/flowering?
How many plants could I have in a 4x2 tent? I would like to reduce veg and flowering time, so would that mean I should go for more plants? I've got 3x 11 liter / 3 gallon Gronest fabric pots and can get more pots. Also, are the nutrients noted in the grow suitable for coco?

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,
