I find that very interesting to be honest. I'll take your word for it I've definitely noticed a difference in identical clones using it, vs. not using it. Only a little, but I'm convinced enough the difference is there. I have a pretty good nose. And the plant tissues and stems seem a little...

If anyone's still interested and using Potassium Silicate as pH up until harvest. I may have found some relevant information. Says enough for me, that I'm going to stop using it a few weeks before harvest from now on. If only to be on the safe side. As said in previous comments. If anyone has...

Wow! Quite the competitive nature instead of helping. I'd rather you sit there and fester. ;) Ignored. Have a great life. @MisterBlack - if you insist on pics yourself personally, I'd be glad to share via pm. I won't post pics publicly. FWIW judging by your previous successful grows, like your...

I think that's a great plan of action. Good luck. I'm positive things will turn-around.

Don't really blame you. Not worth splitting hairs over when you have bigger things to worry about. FWIW I always cut them down too. Can always sprout more seeds. It's like crying over spilt milk sometimes. If it was my only plant, I'd probably keep it then. I make cannabutter with any...

I'd just keep things simple. No added organic matter. And likely add some perlite. As it may stay a bit too soggy initially, after being watered without. If there're plenty grows online of people adding perlite to their promix, I would too. 20% or whatever. Then you just need a decent 2-part...

It's very general, basic advice. Soil is tricky, it's all different. But all much the same if you know your stuff. Amending soils really isn't difficult. Especially if planning on using fertilizer as well. The two major factors whilst amending soils are - not adding ample or sufficient...

@MisterBlack A very handy rule of thumb regarding organic gardening and fertilizing - "Nitrogen deficiency is the first sign of a healthy garden." Meaning Nitrogen deficiency will most often be the first deficiency you should see, before deciding to add more fertilizer. If another deficiency...

Then if you're replanting 1 to see, add some drainage. Perlite will be great for that. Honestly, you can just about throw those charts in the trash. They're misleading. Basic NPK and mobile nutrient deficiencies are all you really need to know. Remember mobile nutrient deficiencies start from...

No worries! That's good, fluffy is good. Can't really ever have too much compost. But it must be properly composted and be of good quality with lots of brown material. (should be loose, spongey, airy and smell like fresh earth or humus) You don't want any foul smells. Besides aeration there's...

Add some perlite next-time.

I agree with the others here, that all you can really do at this point, is let the soil dry more before watering again. The term you're looking for is "chronic overwatering". It's the fastest way newer growers and old kill their plants. But alas, the problem often isn't really the growers own...

Maybe...I haven't ever used sawdust as a mulch layer really. Besides obviously woodchips and the like. Think it might not be the sawdust, but the type? Sure wood mulch can sap nitrogen from your soil, if the wood's a little fresh. But was it more a case of any beneficial microbes not liking the...

Bang on the money there, I think. Too much PK in organic soils is mostly caused by too much rich organic matter. Too much rich matter will cause compaction overtime also. Need to be adding a lot more browns when you're composting your soil, so it helps against compaction. By forming clumps...

Absolutely, yes. Preferably off a mature plant. Few months old. Whenever. Doesn't have to be off a mature plant at all. Totally up to you.

Leaf variegation can be the result of pests/disease somewhere way back in the genepool too. Thrip damage and Thrip related disease for instance. Some variegation looks a lot like the pattern of thrip damage, just blown up to a larger scale. It's testing my own Hort. knowledge, but I believe...

@Thisguy-4' To cut a story short, I've used Si right up until harvest twice so far, with no obvious harmful health effect. I've also observed better smell, resin and more healthy plants from doing so with the same clones. I'm convinced myself that Si does work. Though...

Maybe it's non combustible? Looking at a similar products MSDS. Honestly unsure. Particles in the smoke maybe still a problem if they're fine enough to be carried? Would much appreciate if you pass any info you find my way. Thanks. I'm using it strictly in nutrient solution. No foliar...

@xtsho @Roger A. Shrubber Thanks for your responses. I'll emphasise correctly the question I'm asking. I've been informed by someone who knows their chemistry, that Si maybe able to form chains in the plant tissue, which might adversely affect a smokers health. My logic says 1mL/10L of...

Makes a good pH up have to say. I'm using OMRI certified potassium silicate. I believe you can observe improvement from using it. Convinced I've seen the difference myself. If only a little. Personally I take the "availability" of Si products with caution. (the same is said for garden lime) You...
