Well you need to bring that ph down or you will be in lock out. Roots can not work if out of a good range for them. Like in coco or hydro 5.8 vegging 6.2 flowering. Coco needs heavy irrigation, and constant ph monitoring of run off. Soil ph runs a little higher for ideal condition. Good luck, and happy growing ๐ฑ

Roots on fireWe are in the 4th week of vegi period and changed the pots one week ago. From 0,5 liter to 11 Liter. And now the roots came out of the pots on the downsite (one 10cm). Is that a problem or can we just leave them like this and send them to bloom? If its a problem, what can we do?Roots. Other

Substrate moisture retentionWorried my substrate wasn't moist enough at the time of transplanting these girls. Should I expect trouble soon? I'm watering as necessary, until the fabric pots begin to weep into their drip pans. Should I let them dry completely before next watering?6y ago

Indoor companions in the same container? I already use the CO2 mushroom bags. But what about in with the plants container an in an indoor grow?I am using coco coir and perlite as the medium. I would assume it would only make a difference if it was in the same container as the plants to interact. Or be a fungus, I think most produce at least some amount of CO2.
Can I use companion fungus/plants in the same pot?Week 9

Can you please tell me if the sides need to be covered with earth?When I covered the soil in the beginning it wasn't like that, but after waterings the soil shrunk and now there is space between the pot fabric and the soil. Should I add more soil to avoid root problems? And also the water drains down there and quickly runs downhill ๐9mo ago
