Yes sir. Looking happy and healthy. Well done! So I would recommend a small dressing end of week 3 again just to get another bit of biology kicking. My rule of thumb is a think layer every 4 weeks. I use 9gallon pots and once a plant goes out, another goes in. This just ensures a continuous...

Foliar spray is the quickest way to get nutrients into the plants. You will have to feed them something that has already been broken down so its comes in plant available form. There is a lot open space there, I would have filled the room up a bit more. More plants next run maybe? If you want...

I am trying to get diatoms into my soil. Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone, Need some help please. I have heard somewhere in my learning that Diatoms are an essential part of regenerating used soils and adding more life to the soil food web. Its advertised as a way to get rid of buds etc but I want to use it to add diatoms into my soil. Excuse me if I am...

This is golden bro. Thank you so much. I will start keeping my coffee grinds cause caffeine is a currency in my house. I never thought of using the plant stems, they just get chucked into the bin, which I really dont like cause of the beggars that come dig in our trash when the bins go out...

Hi Guys, I hope everyone is doing well. Thought I would just start this as a way to get some info going on this topic. Personally, for anyone using Vermicomposting as a part of your soils, I think that this is a big part of your success when growing in a Living Soil system. This, alongside...

So from what I have come across, clay pebbles at the right ratio (no more than 10% of your soil mixture) is extremely beneficial to your soil. Off the top of my head, its slightly bigger size and pourousness, its a great home for soil microbes. Its a game of cat and dog in the soil food web...

So I feel like we are missing a point here. Water is a living element. Regardless of the effects of chrlorine on the soil, tap water lacks the microbiology that water generally carries with it when you get it from natural sources. I hear your point here but I would highlight that the extra...

Sounds really good. Now just let that settle and see how the plants respond. I would look at maybe adding some form of additional microbe mixture to get the biology going. Earth worms and Springtail mights will also help the breakdown process. I generally mulch with a combination of Alfalfa...

Bro, lota of good pointers here. If you are serious about improvement, journal. Create comparison runs. Run X amount of plants one way and Y amount of plants another. Record everything you feed, the amounts and every bit of info you think is important. Capturing what you are doing in a detailed...

In my opinion, its got to do with veg time. So more plants = less veg = more flowering cycles per a year = more yield over a period of time If you are asking just for one run then as long as you are getting the same area of light canopied then your yields should be similar. I would lean...

So I think that just doing a light foilar to give them a small boost of nutes will definately help the problem. Foilars allow for an immediate uptake of nutrients so it is generally the go to when it comes to deficiencies. I like Kelp because it ticks so many of the boxes when it comes to the...

I would lean towards longer than the recommended. I check the crystals under the mic to see their maturity. That works for me. These are seasonal plants so they will make it very clear when they are at the end of their lifecycle. They stop feeding and start pulling nutrients out of their...

I think a major wake up in the cultivation industry I had is that people have strong bias and they are quick to rule things out because of their own personal experiences. If you want to get good at this game, look around, consider, try, document, reflect and learn. I have seen people make...

I agree. I think the take away here is that there is a time and a place. Consider the objective and then approach it from there. I would say that there are benefits to both. Composting is an art and big ups to you if you are getting it right but these things take time and effort to learn. You...

If you are growing in soil, I would recommend getting some organic material that can be broken down over time. I use Alfalfa, Lucerne and Dandelions at the moment. Then I cover that with Hay. I use worms and springtails in my mix aswell. They get the process moving along quickly. Then I use a...

Your next step is a humidifier. I do not think that the change from fabric pots to plastic pots is going to make much of a difference. When I switched from bottled nutrients and started growing in soil the humidity dropped quite substantially in my room. I use fabric pots. What will definitely...

Its normal for pistils to turn brown. This could be due to a number of different factors. For its age, perfectly nornaml.

I think this is best. It does look like some of the veins are a darker green than the rest of the plant which points to a possible deficiency but I think first see if you adjust the lights distance how they respond. I like to give my plants a bit of kelp when they are stressed. Light foliar...

Looking good. Whatever you are doing is working well.
