    Yellowing leaves

    You're not watering nearly enough when you do. I bet that's what's causing any yellowing, if you're following the feed chart correctly. Should be aiming to see 10% runoff or waste in pot volume, per watering. Don't stray from the chart. Adding more nitrogen shouldn't be necessary. Mucking...

    Possible lockout in soil? Need advice

    Every third may still be a little often. But in all you'll be the best to judge or tell.

    Possible lockout in soil? Need advice

    Not much you can really do. More so for next-time. I'd personally just keep watering until runoff and get a good all-rounder for npk. Organic or otherwise. GL.

    Possible lockout in soil? Need advice

    Great! That's the right watering habit to practice and form. Careful you don't overwater. 2 days isn't much of a stretch. Not for a 5 gallon pot and plants that size. Another day or two wouldn't hurt, until they get a bit larger. Regardless of when you flip or how you water, you will need to...

    Overfeeding or underfeeding or lockout?

    Plant deficiencies and lockouts look the same. If not identical. I would suggest if you're using a reputable nutrient and correctly following the feed chart, it's unlikely you'll ever experience "deficiency". There should be everything the plant needs already in sufficient amounts. Which does...

    Yellowing of my leaf tips

    Agree with above, it's likely hot soil. I'm going to suggest always adding extra aeration to your potting mix or soil before potting, regardless of brand or type. Helps the roots breathe / aids in drainage. Add aeration always. Careful you're not overwatering. Will make a hot soil worse. And...

    How accurate is checking run off EC?

    @dejay123 Situational / depends. Someone might find it useful to check whilst growing in inert media. It'll be closest to true. Someone probably won't find it useful in media like soil. Because of soils own inherent nutrient properties and generally high water holding capacity. Stab in the...

    Help diagnosing deficiency

    That's a fair bit you've added already to try and rectify. And you've been regularly supplementing 4-4-4. I doubt it's a deficiency if you haven't seen any improvement, and you've been adding more. Sometimes less is more. I'd be using caution at this point. Could get a lot worse if it isn't a...

    Mycorrhiza Fungi...why you should get to know them...

    Fascinating video I just watched the other day, to anyone who maybe interested. It's worth a watch.

    Concerning - potassium deficiency?

    @Growin4fun77 - Fascinating Fungi Video I watched the other day. Awesome video actually! GL

    Concerning - potassium deficiency?

    I mean no offence or claim to know it all, when I say you can get it from any general gardening information. Any information on basic gardening fundamentals. And any information on soil will be helpful. Steer away from cannabis specific stuff. Or plant specific stuff. Look more for information...

    How to obtain good seeds?

    Coming from a country where it's illegal myself, I get where you're coming from and don't often buy seeds online. It isn't usually worth the risk in my own opinion. But I get the appeal. It's always nice to have something different and new. I think a local network is the best route, overall. It...

    GROWING IN COCO COIR FOR THE FIRST TIME

    I know what you mean. Like when growing in soil and you transplant into an overly large pot with inadequate aeration. Plants slump a bit until they grow into it. It's a lack of oxygen at the rootzone. (Or when you damage the root-ball during transplant) So long as you're careful, and keep the...

    The Bruce Bugbee Method

    I forgot to mention how important the process of Composting is for outdoor soil too. Really great idea, would be to start a compost bin and or worm farm. And remember to always add lots of "brown" carbon rich material, like dry wood, brown mulches and cardboard. Starting off it's really easy to...

    The Bruce Bugbee Method

    That's really good. Great start. And in my own opinion, learning to grow with outdoor soil the organic way is the best way to learn. If I can offer you any advice or direction to go to find the type of information you might be looking for it's to stick to the very basics. I can list a few things...

    Hermaphrodite?

    No worries, thanks. I've done the same. Cheers. p.s. @Wizzlebiz - I remembered a video about the topic with Kevin Jodrey too if you're interested. Meaty bit is around 2min in.

    Hermaphrodite?

    I'm not at all debating that. Mentioning phenotype, you'd likely be familiar with phenotype expression much of the time being due to environment. Characteristics the same individual expresses in one environment can be completely different in the next. Thus the expression of "nanners" may, or may...

    Hermaphrodite?

    I'd actually really appreciate if you could clear some things up for me. Because there's a Cannabis sativa L. study which floats around about spontaneous hermapheroditism that bugs me in all honesty. It's full of assumption bias and never once mentions monoecious phenotypes in it's study. Thus...

    Hermaphrodite?

    One technicality many seem to ignore but can't refute, is that by very definition a plant with both male and female inflorescence is monoecious. Say what you will, but bananas are male reproductive organs, making the plant monoecious too. The available science categorizes them as monoecious...

    Magnesium and Potassium Lockout due to too much Calcium?

    Exactly! And by nature a huge % of outdoor soils are Calcium deficient. Soil needs to be tested. Anyways, it's all off topic, I won't derail the thread any further, sorry @Rougedawg. Thanks for the chat.
