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 🌱

Leaning Plant /Could really do with some advice on the lean if anyone has any? Should I dig her up very carefully before her root mass gets too big and try to straighten her out? Should I put a little gardening stick in there and tie the stem to it to support her? See comment for more info.

Feeding with dense roots?So I'm using 5 and 7 gallon pots and I'm using Gaia greens and some worm poo for my feed but once they start to take off into flower, all of my dry amendments build up on top bc of the roots. I want to stay organic but how can I feed these girls once the roots block up the pot?

when to transplant So, this is the first time I've gradually increased pot size as I feel they need it, instead of planting seedling straight into pots as one does with autos. How long should these girls stay in there pots before they move into 3 gals?

Hey guys! started week 5! She’s looking great, nice and healthy. I’m concerned with the amount of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be worried about this? Or would this be where the roots self prune and this encourages more root growth within the pot? Thanks!

Root aphids in flowering?What I initially thought was a nutrient issue I am now convinced is a root aphid issue. Noticed a few small white bugs crawling on top of the soil and I don’t know how to get rid of them without harming my plant. She’s in 5th week of flowering so I don’t think neem is ideal.
