started grow question 3y 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.

Time to transplant?
Is it time to transplant to the bigger final pots? The plants are not great, i doubt they have big roots. But maybe they are like this because they need more soil? What do you think? (sorry, the pictures are horrible)

What would cause more than half of my plants to start throwing pollen sacs?
more than half my plants have thrown pollen sacs at the internode, and I’m 110% sure I have no light leaks, everything’s been perfect including light schedule/intensity, nutrients, watering and environment. They even seemed super happy and healthy. Was it the defoliation or what?

Any suggestions would be nice I take any criticism! Learning is learning! I understand some would have vegged longer but I was trying a method I read up and it has worked a treat! The next time on 7-11 I’ll veg longer as I want to top twice on them! I’ll have the time and space!

Soil not draining
I am using biobizz light mix in 5gallon fabric pots and finding it doesn't drain well enough, my plants are already in flower so I can't just add more perlite. What can I do to help propper drainage without disturbing my plants?
