Durban poison in soil
I have Durban Poison coming on Monday and after buying them, I did some research (dumb I know). Don't have the time for a hydro set up. Will it still do good in soil and are there any tips for growing in soil?

Worms in pot.
Worms in pots. About a week after germination I have introduced about a dozen earthworms in the 10 liter bucket where my plant is growing. I read a lot about worm poo, but never I seen someone introducing worms in the pots where their plants grow. Anyone any experience? Why not?

Quel sol ? pour un résultat top en intérieur
For my 2nd indoor grow: 3 greenhouse hybrids I'm going to add greenhousefeeding nutrients. I want to achieve a top result. Is supermarket soil + perlite enough? Or what should I put in my flower pots to have the best soil?

False reading or Hi PH?
Is 20% humus lombrico mixed in my substrate giving a false ‘hi’ ph reading? Or is it truly over the max reading? I got one reading of 7 only at the exact second I took the picture, so I made a video. My water is high in calcium, I recently switched to distilled.

Erde ohne Perlite
Is there a good soil for cannabis cultivation that does NOT contain perlite? Canna Terra, Plagron, and Biobizz apparently all contain perlite in their mixes, but I want to add it myself. I can get perlite for 9 cents per kilogram (5-10L).

Will an air stone in reservoir of water under a fabric pot filled with soil contribute anything?
Soil based grow. 3 gallon fabric pot placed in a 5 gallon bucket, with holes drilled out the bottom. The 5 gallon has a reservoir below it. Can I throw an air stone in the reservoir w/ h20 and pump more air to increase oxygen or will the soil not benefit because it’s a hydro grow

Hello everyone, I'm almost at the end of my first grow and I've noticed that the amount of soil in my pots compacted pretty heavily. How do I avoid this problem in my next grow? (Pictures show the beginning and the current state of the soil; ~ -7cm soil height)

Aerate the 1.5" of water left below the bulkhead?
Building a Drip to Res with Netpot lids of Hydroton on 5 gallon buckets, and an aerated 5 gallon reservoir outside the tent. Is there any any point to aerating the 1.5" of water below the bulkhead, which doesn't drain from the bottom of the buckets?

Do I need to add nutrients to a premixed soil?
I'm using Cost of Maine Grower's Blend (Silver Bag) and am coming into the 2nd week or so of flowering. Do I need to top dress with any nutrients or is the soil enough on its own? Growing autoflowers in 3 Gallon pots.

(2nd try) Growing in Coco - organic nutrients possible or only synthetics?
Can one use Organic nutrients + microbes when growing in Coco? I have two full bottles of Alga and Bloom and don't want to toss them. My tapwater is hard enough (now with proper pic) so Ca shouldn't be a problem 😂 What would be the advantages vs disadvantages?
