Thanks this is super helpful! When you pre-amend with GG, how many tbsp/gal do you typically drop in?

Hi all, I’m switching to ProMix and looking for insights or suggestions. In past runs I’ve used FFOF with 20% perlite, 20% EWC, DynoMyco and Dolomite Lime and then top dressed with DTE 4-4-4 and 4-8-4 throughout the grow cycle. I’m tempted to run the same recipe simply swapping FFOF with ProMix...

Very cool. I assume the plant was in just the root riot for 3 weeks or so before you transplanted? Would you recommend Root Riots over peat pellets?

You also bring up the notion of growing big ass roots. I feel like no one talks about this and I never hear anything about a ‘root-growing strategy’. it feels like such a critical thing to me - equally (if not more) important as paying attention to what’s going on above the dirt.

Can’t remember now since I trashed the poor plant, but all the levels were being monitored and within proper ranges. It’s not my first run so I was just doing what I’ve done before…I think I got used to using fabric pots and didn’t realize plastic pots would retain so much moisture…so I honestly...

Thanks for sharing! Love to see other growers timelines like this. I’ve been wondering if I’m spending too long in the rooter (roughly 2 weeks) so good to see someone else doing the same

I’m in soil. Gave up on this plant (and two others that had the same issue since January). The older ones kept cycling small new growth that would brown and dry out starting at the tips. This more recent one just stopped new growth altogether so after a week I said fuck it. Learning lessons...

True this strategy might be better suited to Auto grows than up-potting photos.

This is as good a guide as I have yet to come across - thanks for sharing. One thing I am learning that this article doesn’t really get into is a strategy for developing roots. I’ve recently been watering around the root zone during the first 3 weeks or so (basically the seedling stage) and...

Ahh no they were not. So you suggest mixing those additives in and letting it sit for a month?

Ah interesting. This bag has actually been sitting in my garage for almost a year now, but I’m almost done with it and I think I’m going to try ProMix HP next based on recommendations from other growers.

What do you mean by undercooked?

I used to use fabric pots but stopped because they were a bitch to clean. The three plants that I’ve had issues with are in plastic pots and I think that’s partially what threw me off. I typically water the plants a certain amount and it was always ok with fabrics due to their breathability….but...

yeah I know - I’ve heard this from others as well. It could be a ph issue but based on my experience with the other plants and the high moisture level of the soil lasting for so long, it’s either a) overwatering or b) overwatering and ph issues…but I don’t think it can be purely a ph issue. I...

Ok here are some pics. Day 31 was the last watering before I noticed things were not well and subsequently paused on watering for 16 days. Day 39 the lightening up of the leaves was much more evident…like watching a slow motion car wreck. Soil was still super moist. Day 46 is two days ago...

Hi folks, wondering if this is a thing. Would silica help my plant recover if it’s been overwatered? I’ve dried it out for 16 days and it finally looked thirsty again, so gave it half a quart of water with some natural root boosters and it doesn’t look any better a day and a half later. A friend...

Yah man, I wasn’t worried since they look happy, but was just curious if there is something else to read from it…I guess I thought they would be exhausted at the end of the day if the DLI was properly maxed out, that’s why I was wondering if it’s a sign they want more light

Hey folks, curious if anyone has encountered this before or knows what this means. I’ve got some young plants in veg around 20+ days (one is 8 days) and they are doing well so I don’t think it’s an issue, but I notice every evening toward the end of their 18 hour stretch the leaves tilt to the...

I’m not sure of anything tbh :confused:

Sort of passed on the grow journal for these but you can see the original thread concerning my issues here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/potassium-deficiency-or-overwatering.1097511/ I’ve been known to overwater but I haven’t been overwatering these lately - more like once every 5 or 6 days. I...
