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..

Fill up plant potsI mounded the soil around the stems of my plants to give them extra support, which creates a small hill in the center of the pot.
Now I’m thinking about filling up the rest of the pot with soil to level it out.
Is that a good idea? And what type of soil would be best for it?Week 4

How to get PH downHi everyone
Her run off water is around PH 7.1 so I'm watering this plant with 5.8 PHed solution (biobizz and ph down). Despite of it I am not getting down the run off PH. What should I do to solve this problem?
PS - I have already flushed her with 2.5 liters of 5.8 PH water.Week 6

Mold on soilI 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?Setup. Substrates

Overwatered cubes in hydro? Too close to the sun? or effect of having addHi 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?2y ago

Optimal pH for solution, when growing in 70% Promix BX, 30% perlite.I'm having trouble finding reliable info regarding what to pH my nute solution to, I read that some like to look at it as hydro (technically soilless), and others view it as soil (due to being preloaded). So 5.5 - 6 or 6 - 6.5? HELP have done full grow using 5.5-6, peep the grow.Week 1

Clay pebbles at the bottomI'm thinking using this like maybe an half inch in 4 gallon fabric pot - for better airflow for roots & to prevent overwatering. They absorb the excess well and give off slowly.
Been doing this with my normal plants at home and it works well for them. Anyone with experience?Setup. Substrates
