Just depends on where you are at in the plants life cycle. Are you veggibg? Flower? Size of pot?
Tuankt847answered grow question 4y ago
Yes. My plant is in the vegetative stage. The pot I use is 7 gallon.

I would include a mix of silica when you feed. I use bloom city and I'm getting stupid thick stems in soil. It's a additive found in the earth's crust and temps build stronger cell walls and helps deter pests.

I need help troubleshooting weak plants! I think the clover might be the culprit but what do I do?Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these plants and what I can do? This is my first grow. I can already tell the seeds are growing slow because other seeds I planted in smaller pots are growing much faster. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Leaves. Curl down

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?1y ago
