Always produce drain while using organic fertilizer?
trelornystarted grow question 2y ago
I think I made a big mistake in this very first grow, so here is the question: Should I always water enough to produce some drain? Even when using organic fertilizer?
Until now I did not have a single drain in the whole grow as I water ~10-15% of the pot volume.

I grow all organic in a living soil bed. No drain, never. When I used fabric pots I tried to avoid drain in General.
Keep it moist.
Just make sure to have a good amount of material for airation such as pumice, vermiculite or perlite in your soil.

Yellowing tipsHi,
I'm a newbie grower here. I have an autoflower that is nearly weeks old. I have started to notice some yellowing tips on the leaves. I have been feeding it some vitasol and pm13/14 as well as watering every two days. The growing medium is worm casing compost and perlite.

help! my plant is turning pale. the green color is losing.the green color is losing. some leaves burn from the tip to the stem of the leaf. Excess fertilizers (because I fertilized the soil) or deficiencies due to few nutrients? I also thought that it can burn with nearby lights, but the ones that burn are far away
