perlite

Germination: After 17 hours in the pH balanced spring water, transfered to a wet paper towel for 48 hours, keeping the paper towel wet and temp at 75-85F. 2 of the 3 sprouted within the 48 hours with just over 1/4 in taproot, the 3rd took 24 hours more. Seeds transfered to 3gal pots with 65%...

High guys I am planning my new setup 8x4 with 1000w led in total. i want to to a Drain to waste Hydro but can’t decide potsize und wether to use Hempy buckets or normal square pots. Both would be filled with perlite. i am thinking about 3-5l pots and 18 plants in total. I have some experience...

(Forgot to mention im in uk) So I'm just wondering how much people water to get their 20% run off I realise things can change the outcome like how wet it is at the time of watering and depending if the plant is root bound or not but I'm just after a general idea I can't check at the moment with...

Ive never really had fungus gnats but they have become a problem, having spread to my veg tent and because they die and get stuck in my buds. Anyone have experience with a perlite layer dusted with DE? my brother tells me it has to be on there for the rest of the time and that makes...

New to coco. I transplanted my seedlings to a mix of coco/perlite and they are too big for the pots (because I don’t wanna keep transplanting). Should I just water around the plant or should I actually water the entire pot? I’m not sure if with coco and I don’t wanna drown them

Hey guys, I was looking at what is in the Dr Earth Homegrown and it looks to be decent. What would you guys think about mixing it with coco/perlite as a control to keep it from being too hot? Could it be used by itself to start seedlings?

Hey everyone, Been wondering about my seedlings and thought I’d get some other opinions. Setup: 250w MH 16” above maybe a bit less. White widow (fem) in soil which are growing faster and larger. I then have autos Girl Scout and Blueberry in coco perlite 90/10 that seem to be smaller and...

How's it growing? Is it recommended to add some perlite on week 3 as the Coco looks super moist and taking forever to dry

Hey Guys, I'm pretty close to harvest so wondering both for now and future grows as there probably is not much I could do in the next week or so. I'm growing Green Crack CBD and they are maybe a week out even less from harvest. I know leaves tend to go first but two out of the 3 plants are...

Hey guys I just bought this pro mix pack https://www.promixgardening.com/en-us/product/detail/promix-premium-moisture-potting-mix I wanted to know if this will work well for my grows. Im currently in the middle of the grow and will be transplanting from 2 to 5 gallon soon. Is this good enough...

Hey guys, thank you for taking the time to read this, I've been smoking about 10 years now, and recently took up the hobby of growing, after finding a few seeds in my q. Also shout out to those on the front lines of the corona virus, hope all are well. These seeds came from a nice semi...

So I've noticed that straight coco regardless of brand tends to always win against perlite coco blends or other "coco" blends. I did a side by side comparison with #5 pots and Mother Earth 70/30 Coco vs Mother Earth Coco and the results are obvious. Don't add Perlite to your coco. I was...

Hey y’all! Gotten lots of great info from ya so thanks so much!! This is my first “real” grow and it’s going great. I’ve got a couple questions about soil though. I have a seedling that’s 8 days old and doing really well in some miracle grow seed starting mix. It’s gonna be time to pot up...

Hey all, I've been having a gnat problem, not too severe but still an issue. I'm growing in coconut coir so I water every day and the gnats seem to love it just as much as my plant.:cuss: I tried sticky traps but they don't seem to work well enough. My question is, if I dress the top of the...

Hey there! First time grower just here for some help! I've done a ton of research but I'd like a second opinion! I am growing from seed. Seedling: Rockwool A-OK Starter Plug, once I seen the first taproot show out of the bottom I transplanted them into what meant to be 50% Canna Coco Coir and...

Hey Guys! I haven't grown in COCO for a while since i've been running aero, but for this grow i had no choice but to go for the COCO/perlite route. That said, i seem to have a deficiency in all of my veg plants. For this tent i'm running 150W of 3500K Bridgelux Gen2 strips I'm trying to clear...

Is this stuff any good read good things about it for regular plant but what about mj? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Black-Gold-1402040-16-QT-U-16-Quart-All-Organic-Potting-Soil/24774077 Or would this be a better option for organic soil...

So I've read black gold natural and organic, is made with 25% perlite already, should I throw in an extra 15 or 20%?

I need some suggestions. I have 11 liter bato buckets, I ran them with 2 to 3 inches of clay pebbles in the bottom and the rest filled with coco. I decided to give running 6x6x6 rockwool cubes a try, i am going to stick them in the bato buckets. I will probably keep the 2 to 3 inches of...
