I ain't mad at cha.

Its good practice.

Yeah, what they said. Use the silica every time you water. And once a week use Recharge or Fish Stuff or some combination to keep your soil microbes working.

Soil is legit, but it does have limitations. How big are your pots? How long have your plants been in the pots? Have you added any nutrients or fed the plants in any way? It's possible everything is OK, and your plants are just hungry because they've consumed most the amendments in your soil.

What happens when you grow plants in your soil? How do they look? Do you have specific problems or reccuring issues?

That will work fine for soil. Mix it into your water (about 1/4 teaspoon per gallon) then, water it into the soil. Maybe every watering, less if that seems like too much. For sure use in veg.

Excess Nitrogen can delay flowering. Too little phosphorus can leave your cuttings without the Energy to grow roots. I've seen a science guy (who sells nutrients) recommend a dose of flowering feed a week before taking clones. In my experience, low phosphorus shows up as purple stems that get...

I agree about lacto bacillus and Teraganix EM-1. This stuff is cool because you can use it right out of the bottle, or add 1 cup EM-1 and 1 cup of molasses to a gallon of water and brew up a new Gallon. And from there you can continue the process forever and not have to buy anymore. A company...

For sure wait! If you top too soon you'll stress out your plant and it will be all stunted or stop growing again. You for sure don't want that. And while you're waiting, think about not main-lining at all. I know it looks cool and it's fun to mess around when you're new, but I think it's...

In my opinion, Praying leaves are the plant's way of asking for more light. Flat, wide stretched leaves are the plant showing the amount of light is adequate. Droopy leaves mean too much light and the leaves are trying to hide. If your little plant was water-logged, stunted and struggling...

That's the way I understand it, plants pull less and less out of the medium as you get to the end of flowering. And I believe this is backed up by the study of Flushing. There wasn't much difference between plants given nutrients or no nutrients during the last couple weeks. Like the plant...

Nice Line-up! Very tropical!

There was a fancy study. Individual people noticed different flavors between flush/no flush, but there wasn't a consistent result. Like some people thought one was better, and other people thought the other was better. https://www.rxgreentechnologies.com/rxgt_trials/flushing-trial/ How many...

Yeah, sounds like regular old Hungry Plants. Generally, 5 gallons of soil will take care of a plant for about a month. If you cut the Happy Frog soil with peat moss it could be running out of juice even faster. The lack of nitrogen, calcium and magnesium is showing, but the soil is probably...

What's up with your soil? You say your plants are drinking a lot, are you watering enough to keep the soil moist? How often are you watering vs fertilizing? Like are you giving nutrients once a week and water the rest of the time? How many liters of fertilized water are you giving your plants...
