Kellykush420started grow question 3 years ago
Hello, My question has to do with a little mushroom I found growing in my soil under my plant. Is it a good sign or a bad sign?

It won't do to much harm, usually a sign of overwatering. Some spores probably landed in the soil and your conditions have made it thrive.

Mushrooms are an indication that your yard has a lot of organic material in the soil. Mushrooms help break down that organic material, and make your soil more productive.

The possibility of using runoff, oxygenated, tested, adjusted to hydro levels and reused? Will it work or have I wasted money again?I'm using my own mix of soil composed of approx. 30% advanced organics potting soil, 30% peat, 15% coco, 15% perolite, 10% .5x.5x.5 compost. I am using a drain table and 2- 40 gallon fabric pots, capturing all my runnoff into a large tote that is being oxygenated, will this work?Setup. Substrates

Favorite Soil - Similar to Happy Frog Potting SoilFavorite soil? Right now I am using Happy Frog potting soil in 5 gal fabric pots. I ran out of soil and need more for the last 2 of my 5 plants. Does anyone suggest a specific soil they prefer similar to happy frog? Best feeding schedule and method - top-dress or through water?Setup. Substrates

DWC air pumpAnyone with previous experience, what's the minimum/optimum size pump for my air bubbler? I have a cheapo single line pump, I'm assuming it's enough but not optimum. Can anyone put a number on it in cfm? Is more always better? At what point do you reach diminishing returns?Setup. Substrates

Maintaining the soil pHI give pH'ed water, never more than 800ppm and I still always end up with lockouts. I used to not give water untill runoff but now I do. What to do after testing the runoff? It's currently at 6.0 even after a flush with 7.2. Ask many questions I need to know what I'm doing wrong.Other. General questions
