Coco Coir Seedling Questions
Hello I would like to know if it's possible to over compact coco coir as I kept pushing it down when I filled pots and if it's the reason one of my seedlings cotyledon leaves are droopy. When do I first add nutrients to the water? Germinated and potted 2 days ago sprayed 3 times.

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

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?

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?

To the Coco Experts
To the coco experts, how do you prepare the substrate? Pure long fiber, a mix of long fiber with dust or chips, 50% fiber 50% perlite, only dust, etc...

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

Organic slow-release fertiliser tablets
Bought tabs with slow-release for 10-12 weeks -> usage 30gr/1 ounce per plant. Should I mix it with pre-fertilized soil of 3 weeks? (15L/4gallon pot) Their Customer Support told me the plants would be fine. I have to mix it in the beginning. Possibility for overfeeding????
