Soil Mix
Ganjeestarted grow question 5 years ago
I have transplanted to a 5gallon pot now. Equal mix of Fox Farm Happy frog, ocean forest, and Promix HP. Added perlite, dolomite lime to 5.9 ph. Should this be a ok mix. Also how long do these normally last. Before needing to add liquid nutes

Wow Ocean Forest and Happy Frog and other additives? OF runs a little hot all by itself, while HF is loamy and dense.
Let us know if you have soil compaction by end of grow. -> Dolomite might help that out, even with perlite in it.
As far as how long the soil lasts before you add liquid nutes, I'll give my scenario.
I run FFOF and Light Warrior in a 3/1 solution, and I never feed until after at least 30 days. With HF instead, your micronutrients could last even longer.
But if you dont like your how your vegetative plants look, before that, you could start the feedings at a 50% strength.

These 3 differents soils are already giving very good results when using them solo so all together the mix should be nice , no need to mix during up to 3 weeks .I would have mix some dried nutrients like bone meal or dried blood to enrich the soil and have a longer period without using liquid nutrients. Next time you can also turn any soil in a super soil by using the Greenhouse organic dry nutrients or if you are in the US the Mr B's Green three dry nutz , they can allow you to grow from seed to harvest with only water.

Good soil mix. Just wait another week then slowly start feeding nutes.

That’s one hell of a mix you got there! Definitely way up and above but it will work great! It should have plenty of food for 2-3 weeks of life! You should be able to tell when it wants to eat ! Typically depending on your watering schedule when you get into week 3 she’ll be strong enough for nutes! Day -14-17 is typical with that types of mix! Good luck 👍🍀

Does Liquide phenol red work to check the water PH?Liquide Phenol red is the cheapest alternative ive got. It should range between 6 and 8. But it say s for uses at pools and hot tubs, should be more or less accurate and get the job done right? As i can easily see diferences between 6.0 and 7.0? Thank you! :DFeeding. Other

Friends, help me understand what the problem of the plant is!!I can not understand that with plants different tips come most people think that the problem is nitrogen! Others say it's zinc or cal-mag! I can't decide how to properly help the plant! I also thought maybe it's too much blowing inside the box!?

Starting Nutrient FeedingBased on weekly comment:
The cotyledons have dried up, is it good for me to start feeding nutes at 10% of the reccomended amounts this week? The soil is organic, and does contain nutes. I have doubts that the seedling has used much of it since the root system is still tiny.Feeding. Other

Could it be beneficial to add CO2 into the water supply just a theory I had and wondering if anyone else has had the same idea and tested it.Hi I've got a bit of a theoretical question that I'm wondering if it would be benifical if i used a CO2 canister likes used in the soda machines to carbonate water and used to it to inject CO2 into water supply to give it extra CO2. Would it be a bad idea or it could be good?
