Brand new coco shows PH at 4.5, plants in germination state
Weediz
started grow question 4y ago
I am germinating my seeds in coco. My coco shows PH of 4.5! That seems way too low! I tried to flushing with PH 6.7 water without any effect (see growdiary for more info). What should I do? Is something wrong with my coco?

Best medium for autoflowers
What is your favorite growing medium for autoflowers and why? I'm looking to continue broadening my horizons with my next grow when I get more seeds. I'm pondering which method I want to try or if I'm going to stick with what I've got going on already.

Mold on soil
I used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

slowly drying soil VS transplanting autoflower (Day22)
bad idea to transplant my autoflowers (day 22, entering preflower) now that I’ve realized the substrate (Biobizz Lightmix) is too compacted and takes 6–8 days to dry? What else can I do? I know transplanting causes stress, but isn’t slow-drying soil an even bigger problem? thanks

Quel sol ? pour un résultat top en intérieur
For my 2nd indoor grow: 3 greenhouse hybrids I'm going to add greenhousefeeding nutrients. I want to achieve a top result. Is supermarket soil + perlite enough? Or what should I put in my flower pots to have the best soil?

he comprado este insecticida que su composición es Lambda cihalotrin y Benzisotiazol puedo utilizarlo en mis plantas??
Hey, my plant is starting to get fungus gnats and thrips. I bought this insecticide, but after getting home, I realized it doesn't have pyrethrin, and since it's not from any cannabis-specialized brand, I wanted to know if I can use it. What do you guys think??

ANY UK SOIL RECOMMENDATIONS ?
Hi Guys, can anyone recommend a commercial soil mix suitable for transplanting outdoors in the UK? I'm currently using Biobizz indoors but looking for a more readily available option as all the grow shops are currently closed leaving Homebase, Wickes or B&Q as my supply options.

How many and how large plants in a 4x2 tent for a quick veg/flowering?
How many plants could I have in a 4x2 tent? I would like to reduce veg and flowering time, so would that mean I should go for more plants? I've got 3x 11 liter / 3 gallon Gronest fabric pots and can get more pots. Also, are the nutrients noted in the grow suitable for coco?

False reading or Hi PH?
Is 20% humus lombrico mixed in my substrate giving a false ‘hi’ ph reading? Or is it truly over the max reading? I got one reading of 7 only at the exact second I took the picture, so I made a video. My water is high in calcium, I recently switched to distilled.

Why aren't my plants growing? They've been germinating for ten days, but so far they've only developed 2 leaves and 2 are just starting to sprout. The water I give them is measured based on their dry weight. The substrate isn't very draining, could that be the issue?

Hi All, I have issues with my first hydro grow - i effed up. I think i was too slow in the transfer over in the tank. Light is 200 PPFD, EC at 0.6, and barely added any nutes. Did i manage to overwater some of these plants by having them too close to the net pot?

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.
