No offense taken trust me i know. Haha its all good though im learning! They all stopped growing in between week 1 and 2 and didnt actually start taking off until like 4 days ago. No experience gardening or anything so im all the way fresh!I wouldn't add nutes here yet. No offense meant here However these are very stunted. There will be a decent amount of nutes left in that soil still.
See learning more and more. Haha its good now though the new leaves dont have it. So dont feed yet what signs should i look for to feed?But it's slight. Nothing to worry about there.

How long have they been in there?See learning more and more. Haha its good now though the new leaves dont have it. So dont feed yet what signs should i look for to feed?
4 weeks and 3 days since germination day. I germinated in soil.How long have they been in there?
What soil are they in?I also was told by quite a few people that they used black gold soil same as mine and didnt have to feed due to its slapped full of amendments already. I already dont like this soil its hard and clusters up when watered could be another reason they were stunted to hard for roots to move through. I have to squeeze the pot and loosen it up to water or itll stay at the top.
Black gold natural and organic potting soil. Black bag with orange label.What soil are they in?
It has perlite in it but not enough i think if i would have added some it would be good because the soil itself is fluffy besides the damn mulch in it. Another reason i dont like it has to much mulch.Black gold natural and organic potting soil. Black bag with orange label.
Yes i gotcha man. Guess its a wait and see situation! Thanks for your advice very much appreciated!All soils will run out of nutes. How fast will depend on size of plant and how hungry that plant runs.
There is no straight answer here.
The soil does get so hard i dont like it and i dont think my girls do either. I will read up thanks! Im researching about soils and what not going to build my own next run using the black gold but im sifting it first to get mulch and shit out and adding perlite and worm castings and some other stuff im not sure on yet. Lol i loke the flushiness of the soil its nice.Imo I wouldn’t water for a good bit.
Don’t add anything more for a while. Let it work it’s self out. Yes it’s good to be ahead of the game on soil but you are deep green, stalks are green and healthy.
I have 3 gal pot pros, I don’t water for 4-5 days some times, the plants are twice the size.
our girls doesn’t like wet roots.
Are you speaking on
Black Gold
Cow manure?
That stuff is so tightly compacted, and dense, it holds moisture for weeks. Got to loosen it up a bunch. I’ve used it for years, before changing up my blend
1 part BG
2.5 part soil mix
.5 part perlite/ rice hulls ect
I replaced the black gold with earth worm castings
Check out some info on drybacks, and crop steering. It’ll get you a basic knowledge of vegetive stages and Genertive stages all controlled by watering
Thanks!I use Fox farm ocean forest soil mixed along with some added perlite for better drainage. I use a kiddy swim pool when mixing my soil for outside plants. Indoors I mix in a 5 gallon bucket with a good secure lid. I follow Dr. Earths directions for containers and mix accordingly. When I'm ready to transplant and begin flowering I cut back to 30 percent Dr. Earth Veg (covers stretch) and then add 70 percent flower girl. Later on I will use FG to make a tea for quicker uptake. If the plants look like they are needing more nitrogen I'll add some Dr. Earth Veg to the tea as well. Good luck!
It is meant to be an amendment not a soil. Adding Ewc and taking the mulch out is not beneficial, that helps and acts as natural aeration and does breakdown overtime and provide food. EWC is an amendment for soil as well.The soil does get so hard i dont like it and i dont think my girls do either. I will read up thanks!
