started grow question 4y ago
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.

Germinating in soil how much to water my seed?
Germinating I’m fox farms soil; it’s been 2 days since I transferred from RO water. The soil is drying out on the top layer. How much am I supposed to dampen the soil, just barely like I would paper towels or give it a good soak because it will permeate lower soil?

Coco coir buffering
Hi. I soaked coco coir in fertilizer for 8 hours 2 times (600ppm, advanced nutrients sensi coco a + b 2ml/l) for buffering. But the ppm of soaking water drops to ~430ppm. Is this normal or does the soak need to be repeated? Thanks!

After this grow I will be leaving town for 1.5 month. So I won't be able to cure by burping the jars everyday. Should I poke a hole or 2 in the top or just leave it in a tight jar while I'm gone ?

Hi, I need to ask how big a flowerpot I should use. I have already planted one plant in a 15l pot. Isn't it too big? Could I use smaller, if so, how many liters? I grow indoor in a growing box. Thanks to all for your help

Seedling grew tap root but has white cotyledons
Sprouted two bubba kush, first one is fine but second one never popped through the soil. Was worried it was stuck so I removed the shell, and it revealed a white bulb looking structure that I was able to split to reveal the white cotyledons. Is the plant trash? Its been 24 hours

Thoughts about harvesting
Hello guys ! This question is about my Purple Queen Auto. She's a little bit over 8 weeks old now (5 weeks into flowering) and I really don't know when to harvest her. I know about the trichrome method but I only have my eyes to zoom haha So, when do you think she will be ready?
