one part vermiculite, one part compost, two parts loam or topsoil, three parts coarse perlite, and three parts filler (decayed bark, shredded coconut fiber, peat moss, or any combination).

PH of RUNOFF too high (7.0)
Does someone know how I can get the runoff to lower down? I always (since the start, now its week 10) made sure the feeding-water was about 6-6.5. After a few weeks the runoff dropped from 7.3 to 7.0 but since a few weeks it won't drop any further. Any advices? thanks!

Ph pens
Not a question but a PSA. Don't always put all your trust in your pH pen. Mine was reading just over 7. So I lowered it just a bit, but some plants kept getting worse. Checked with pH drops and it was over 8.5 lmao. Damn near killed 2 of my ladies.

When's the right time to switch to flowering?
First time growing, I'm not sure if she's ready or not, and how do you know when it's time? Does timing affect buds and all?

noticed my air flow was cut off for 12 hrs. input and output and fan inside. risk of mold growing from this? watered hrs before it happened so pretty moist. or maybe they will be complete fine? noticed the air flow had stopped because I could smell the stale air.

What to do with fertilized colas
I've got a few colas that were pretty clearly fertilized due to an overheating issue weeks ago... is there any disadvantage to leaving them in? Would these seeds be worth keeping? (I seem to remember someone telling me years ago that this could create feminized seeds)

Grow diary promotion system?
How does the promotion system on GD work? I just went from Newbie to apprentice, and I’m unsure what that means or what the different levels indicate other than those who have more experience than others. Any help shedding light would be appreciated ✌️
