Hi there, short answer : yes! This will retain humidity and help to keep a warm soil. Highly recommended when growing outside! Keep up the good work, your setup is beautiful! I'll be around, good luck ;-)

I have a question regarding my feeding methods, the plants are currently in flower period and I'm using Canna Terra Flores to feed them. The plants recieve about 2-3 ml of this product a day. But is this enough? Should I give more? Will the buds increase in size if I do? Thanks!

Dutch bucket, hempy bucket, bato bucket, etc etc... Conventional medium is perlite/vermiculate. Recent trend has seen some growers go coco above the dutch hole, and perlite below. For those that have tried both, what is best? And why?

My dark devil auto has just started to flower, not even a full week in yet. I have it planted in a 13” terra cotta pot (~2-2.5gallon) and there are a couple roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. Should I attempt to transplant into a bigger pot or is there anything I can do?

I was debating whether or not to prune lower branches on the glueberry that are impossible to get light to and are tiny sad little things. Would it be too late 30 days into flower to effect any change in the buds, or would it give me slightly better yield?

Hi fellow growers! From the pictures of this week, when do you think the pineapple and Critical should be ready for harvest? I’ve been checking the trichomes with a scope, I’m just finding it tricky to tell. They seem to be getting more dense daily right now so I’m being patient
