Should I switch soil?

MG as in miracle grow?
Its not bad for seed starting but it won't get you far past that.
Its mainly peat with some slow release nutrients and a sprinkle of perlite.
If you do decide to switch to Fox Farms there soils are said to be good but can be a bit hot for autoflowers.
You could mix it 50/50 or 25/75 with the remaining MG you have to help use it up.
Your PH will change when watering as well.
FF is a soil base and likes it between 6.5-6.8
MG is peat based and likes it between 5.8-6.2
Best Of Luck and Happy Growing!

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Dry power vs Liquid fertilizerDo dry fertilizers (like the powders you mix with your soil and topdress) give as good of a result as liquids? And I will be doing my first grow this year outside in the ground (not in a pot) do you recomend powder or liquid? And if so what powder fertilizer do you recomend?Feeding. Other

Co² tabs for water feedingDo you have experience with CO² tabs? This manufacturer says 1 tab is enough for 100L (=26 gal). The particles attach to the water and uptake is through the roots.
They said overdosing is not possible but should be cautious with PH of the water, also after adding fertilizers.

General questions about my growBased on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.a year ago
