    stressed?

    Firstly, just to get that out of the way, what did you spray? But honestly, I think there is more going on there than just spider mite troubles. Your new growth looks a bit shriveled, especially in the last pic. To me that points to nutrient or unhappy root issues.

    What products do you use for massive roots?

    - & - Do you spike it vertically deep down into the soil from the surface, or just scratch the top? How do you avoid damaging the roots? I'm a bit worried that my soil is going to compact over time during my current outside pot grow. I think I need to do this to get better top-down drainage...

    Humic / fulvic acid, anyone experimented?

    Kudos. That's the most sensible thing I've read on RIU today. I'm an outdoor only grower, all homemade organic ferts and ferments, and microbe and bug life everywhere. In my house they call me 'the stinky water guy'. :cool:

    Lovely structure and density. Did you just top her the one time? And at how many nodes?

    What products do you use for massive roots?

    Yes. Make the roots work harder to find what they need in their early stages. Airy soil that drains well, and not too much nutrients to start with.

    Your latest seed purchase?

    @Canna2022 I know it's Christmas, but FFS stop pimping like a ho ho ho. You've shat your free advertising shit in like 20 threads. We don't like your sort around here.

    How Tall should I let me plants grow before I flip the light schedule to flower?

    That will explain the slower growth. Your roots will be developing more slowly. Not as much oxygen as they would like. Heavier soil to tap through. I had similar symptoms, same reason. They should do fine once the roots get a decent hold. Keep doing that. Less is more for now, since the dense...

    seedling pits have mold growing around them

    As hydrogen peroxide does its job, it uses up its active potential, and neutralizes. It is not 'poison' ... and will not cause soil problems. Just don't go overboard and use too much at once. Spray the outside with a mister. Try one go at it, wait a day, go again.

    Those that collect rain water for irrigation, do you filter it?

    True for water, evaporating on the way up. Solids get left behind. But water spends time in the air in clouds, and rain travels down through the air. There are loads of air borne particles, and those get trapped in the droplets. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_dust - - - Actual...

    I just can't

    Nope ... it goes curved, not flat. That's just an approximation on small scales. The ocean is water in a giant container. The water surface is rounded like the earth. A plane is on air. A ship is on water.

    Those that collect rain water for irrigation, do you filter it?

    From what I am reading, it seems like people filter rainwater more for 'crap in the collection systems than the rain water itself. Dirty pipes and tanks.

    Is this mycelium growing?

    Answer the basic questions, and we can try to help. Yes, it looks like mould or fungus. White as you said. But is it the white mycelium of whatever you are trying to culture, or is it just random white mould or fungus. Assuming that you're trying to culture psilocybin ... then it should look...

    Question about up-potting and why?

    Great illustration! And to add to this, each repotting is usually into a 'stronger' or richer soil. 1. Germination to seedling cups Here you want a soil that drains well, and isn't nutrient heavy or even vaguely hot. - young seedling roots are more sensitive - if you make the roots search out...

    magnesium deficiency diagnosis ( 1 week update )

    That's from a human article. Your plants need many of those too. And there's the iron that was pointed out by @buckaclark in one of the first responses.
