answered grow question 4y ago
With soil I have gotten better results with fabric pots than plastic pots. 11 liter (3 gallon) size worked well but I got increased yield with 19 liter (5 gallon).

I would use 5 gallon. Plant them directly into their final home to keep them stress free..

Alternatives to Gaia Green dry amendments in Europe?
I'd like to try slow-release dry amendments for my next grow. Mr. Canucks on Youtube uses Gaia Green for this, but unfortunately this brand is not available in Europe. The only equivalent I can find is livingsoilsfertiliser.com. Has anyone tried them or can suggest another brand?

Soils blended with coco
Tried to do a soil, coco, and perlite mixture on this cone. Turned out a disaster. Had to dig it up in the 2nd week and add a bunch of coco. What soil do you use when blending with coco?

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??

Good quality soil for second grow?
I’m looking for a good quality soil for my second run of plants for when I transplant. I used miracle grow organic potting mix for my first run but was told without the person knowing the brand it was trash just from the looks of it. Dont want to make that mistake again.

Organic slow-release fertiliser tablets
Bought tabs with slow-release for 10-12 weeks -> usage 30gr/1 ounce per plant. Should I mix it with pre-fertilized soil of 3 weeks? (15L/4gallon pot) Their Customer Support told me the plants would be fine. I have to mix it in the beginning. Possibility for overfeeding????

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.

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c
Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.

DWC air pump
Anyone with previous experience, what's the minimum/optimum size pump for my air bubbler? I have a cheapo single line pump, I'm assuming it's enough but not optimum. Can anyone put a number on it in cfm? Is more always better? At what point do you reach diminishing returns?
