Yeah my super soil recipe is full of amendments of all kinds, I used fish and fishbone meal, feather, neeem seed, alfalfa, crab meal, guano, rock phosphate, gypsum, greensand, glacial and volcanic rock dusts, langbeinite. It seems that coots mix / BAS sticks with plant and fish based meals...

Thanks for your 2 cents! Right around my train of thought also. Definitely going to be upsizing to 15 gallon pots, I’ll probably stick with Gaia green 444 and 284 as well. Looking forward to more replies hopefully!

After having a successful couple runs with my first super soil batch. I would like to convert it to a living soil. One to save money, and two less work in the long run. What are some steps you might take to transition a super soil to a living soil? Mulch top layer? Adding compost worms to the...

Found this at a local hardware store in the gardening section. Labeled as organic. Chitosan and Salicylic acid. 4oz per gallon foliar or root drench. Curious if anyone has experience with something like this or has used this before?

This dehumidifier sucks, no way around it. My 5x4 tent has lower humidity just running the intake fan. 70% ambient RH. 68% RH with the dehumidifier, 65%RH with intake running. Never buying from spider farmer again.

Seems like for those running smaller pots they’re more frequently feeding throughout the day. I’d assume you probably feed at least 3 times a day probably more at that pot size. I’m going to try feeding to runoff only once instead of both times for the day.

That’s what I’ve read I increased dosage by half a gram for both a and b. But even with this last feeding runoff is still under. I might try fertigating to runoff only once during the day instead of both times. Probably feed to runoff after lights off dry back, than feed without run off before...

I did notice this last feeding that my runoff is quite a bit more than 20%. I feed at about 750-800mL and my runoff after I let it drip for a few seconds is around 200-300mL. I think this could be a partial factor.

My bad rookie mistake I guess oops. And I let it runoff for about 10-20 seconds before I start to collect it and measure. at this point I’m only feeding twice a day at 800ppm. 5 gallon pots. Ph is 5.8-6.0. Up until this last week I had been treating it like soil and watering when dry to runoff...

Hey RIU! I’ve been growing in coco from the start. I was taught to treat it like soil, water when dry type deal. As I’ve grown in this journey, and tried new things. I have stumbled across high frequency fertigating. Man have I been using coco wrong. This is my first attempt at it and I’ve been...

Y Yeah im pretty much just chucking a little pollen for shits and giggles I really have no idea what I’m doing as you can see lol. Will def check that out though.

Happy accident I guess, rookie mistake. Next time I’ll take the sanitation more seriously. Either way this is a auto female pollinated with a photo, the more seeds the better odds of having female and male autos

Hey y’all, good to see RIU back up and running. I decided to try a breeding run. I shut all fans off, isolated the 2 plants I wanted to seed, and than brushed 2 nodes of two branches for each plant. Waited a few hours, and than introduced them back into the tent which has a few other plants 2...

Thanks man. I have a pretty good relationship with the guys over at the local grow store. The owner who was there when I was looking around sold me on these. So far 10/10 germ rate so I’m pretty excited.

First time encountering a seedling with this weird growth. Opinions? Should I scrap it or let it ride out. It’s 1 of 10 all the others sprouted normally.
