I have had that as well. It happens with any "live" potting soil that is moist. It is a good sign and does no harm. Go ahead and use the soil.

Breaking light cycle during flowering
Does breaking the dark cycle after half an hour of dark will stress the plant? I just opened the box 30 minutes after the light went down during the first week of flowering. Can this make my plants hermaphrodite?

TRUE OR FALSE!?!?
True or false?!?! LED has a longer flowering time. LED needs less nutrient. LED has a more spread light output. After reading to much about it, I would like to know what GD community thinks. 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏

2x2x4 yield expectations?
I want to use a 2x2x4 tent, growing (Gorilla Cookies) autos in Nature Living super soil mixed with Coco Loco. I want to yield just a few high quality ounces. Is this easily achievable with one 3 gallon pot under a SF-1000? Should I be concerned with any plant height issues?

Nutrient Lines
I'm thinking about switching nutrient lines to Mega Crop by Greenleaf Nutrients. I'm wanting to use Mega Crop as a true all in 1 nutrient. Anyone who has used these nutrients please let me know your experience with the product and company. Even better if used as standalone nutes.
