Think i got these nats under control just by letting my soil dry right out till i get my Gnatrol, do you need to mix abit of soap with Gnatrol to mix it properly cheers?

You just water it in. It’s a bacteria so adding anything with it could harm The colony your trying to establish. Apply every 3-5 days, don’t pump salts too hard

The dome is on & will keep it on for a few days yet, then adjust things as I see fit. Thanks for your input, nonetheless.

I've learned a lot from reading here & elsewhere, so I'm confident I'm on the right track regardless.

Quite frankly, mate, I've never PH'd any of my water or monitored ppm levels. Never felt the need for it, even when growing in coco with hydro nutes.

Nor will I ever use rockwool as long as my arse points to the ground.

No love for Rockwool? Why? It’s my go to for cloning, and I’ve used just about every media type, and no media. It is kinda a pain to prepare, however the benefits are good.

 

[reza92]

Whatever, mate. I simply choose to grow primarily organically. Just get-ahead of the game with a few chemicals first....

Technically rock wool is organic

lettuce

notice the large perlite,
soil from previous grow,
its either gonna grow great or crap, looks fine so

 

[JimyTheCook]

Reckon we got almost more rain today then we have in the last few months. First rain the girls have seen since they been in the ground aswell i think dunno its been that long i cant remember..

 

[reza92]

rockwool is neutral in ph and ppm and the best medium for cloning

but as of now

i totally give up on noobs

its a waste of phone credit

reza and dusty can sort all the crap growers out,

i wont give any helpful advice to think about, ill just be posting vids and pulling the piss

im out

Fuck using rock wool for cloning. I’d use peat plugs before rockwool. Personally I use a getto air cloner running straight tap water and go directly into coco once they’ve got roots.

I know. I still love Charlie though. Dang, she's a hot c...

Charlie for sure. Put Iggy in the bin

[Rewerb]

Got plenty of the Brown buggers around here. Agro shits! Hope your getting some relief with cooler temps, heard a change came through?

Yeah. Finally some relief. Last day of my holidays & back to work tomorrow. 'Was hoping to get some firewood collected today, but rain got in the way.

new growth is to dark green. If u havent sprayed an oil on the leafs like neem or white oil etc then it might be over fed on N.

Unfortunately rockwool is not ph neutral. I wish it was. It’s alkaline at about ph 8. Need to soak at 5.5 n then release that water, and then re load with your ph adjusted solution of choice. Need to take care not to squash the blocks when releasing moisture from them.

Is that a revegged plant? From seed or clone? The twisted leaf is pretty normal in revegged plants

Grodan stopped using limestone as a binder years ago, no need for pre soak or any of that shite just load the block and away you go. Give it a try, save yourself some time

I genuinely hope you weren't trying to direct that at me, as I lasted about 10 seconds before getting bored & shut it down,
