LeastExpectedGroweranswered grow question 3 years ago
If it compacts while you grow (usually from watering) you can top it off. Since you're not doing an organic grow topping doesn't necessarily bring more nutrients with it (say, if you were doing FFOF which is 'hot' and you can just recharge by topping rather than adding nutrients). Do loosen the soil in your pot from time to time..aerate it with a skewer etc. along the way.

Want Dense BudsZatanna is drying and smells great but her buds aren't as dense as I would like or thought they would be based on how they felt before harvest. I know light is a big factor it she was in sunlight for most of the grow. What can I do to get nice tight nugs?3 years ago

Plants react to darkness in different wayDuring the night, I have noticed that 2 plants out of 3 stand with normal leaves straight, while 1 has leaves going down during the darkness and when the sun rises, it gets back to normal.
They are all same strain, grown in same way, why?3 years ago

HILFE! Zu hohe Feuchtigkeit!Ich bin in Woche 7.
Um für genug Kühlung zu sorgen, muss ich im Anbauraum das Fenster geöffnet lassen.
Bei dem schwülen Wetter steigt die Feuchtigkeit durch die Zuluft bis auf 70%.
Kann mir jemand einen guten Luftentfeuchter empfehlen? Oder gute "Lifehacks"?

Should I restart feeding?I’m still not seeing the amber trichomes. And I’m afraid I harvested my last plant (first plant) too soon. It was two weeks behind the ak-47 which is in jars and I’ve stopped feeding two weeks after I did with her. Should I begin feeding again? Will doing so effect ripening?Other. General questions

Rain flushing nutes out?Hey guys, I’m growing autos outside and the weather has been very wet and windy. The soil in the pots haven’t dried out in about a week and I’ve been feeding as normal it I’m wondering if I need to feed more because of the rain soaking the soil.
