soil

Hi! As many people here, I watched Bruce Bugbee's educational videos, where he suggests using a medium made of 50% peat and 50% vermiculite and says that vermiculite has lots of silica for the plant. While researching about this, I found this site which says that vermiculite doesn't work as a...

Hi! I am new in this lovely site, so feel free to move this topic if required... Also, I'm from Argentina so please be patient with my English xD. I am going to start my third grow some weeks from now and I want to change my nutrients/soil plan (I don't like the nutrients brand I'm using...

Hi there, Third time grower here this time going for a sea of green autos. As weeks have gone by, the soil has sunk a bit (must have been very airy and soft in day 1), and I was wondering if I should add more soil for the plants and cover up the main steam? I could add one inch of soil...

Hi. I’ve got a few girls in 5 gallon buckets outdoors with soil. They are doing great. I was wondering if I could put clay pebbles, like hydraton, on top of the soil to prevent squirrels from burying stuff in in the buckets . Every morning and evening I find myself filling holes they have dug in...

Hey, so thought I'd start up a thread on my latest grow, I set up a 80 x 80 x 30cm garden bed in my grow tent that's just over 50 gallons. This is my 4th indoor grow, I grow fully organic and this will be the 3rd grow reusing my soil, although I usually grow in 7g fabric pots so I needed a butt...

Hi, I’ve read many threads and comments here and there, but I still haven’t found the answers to solve my problems. Hope u guys, especially who used to use and are using Advanced Nutrients can help me. You can answer any questions or anything you know or anything you want to advise me. I’m...

. I'm in North East Ohio... it's June 5th... can I still plant outside? And what is a good soil to buy to transplant into the ground? I was thinking fox farm ocean forest. What's also a good beginning strain that's easy to grow outdoors? Thank you for all your input. .

My tent has been smelling bad like rotting vegetables/eggs/sulpher for like a day. I just noticed these patches on my biggest plant and the smell almost seems to be coming from the leaves? What the hell is this, i can't even identify it? I thought it was my c02 bag... but it smells fine and the...

Just looking for some input on soil, What do you guys like to use? I've had success with Fox Farm Happy Frog and Ocean Forest before and preferred the Ocean Forest mixed with about 30% perlite. I've heard people have had good outcomes with Pro-Mix HP. What do you guys prefer?

Started my new grow in my new home finally (not completely unpacked, but getting there) And noticed some white fuzz on my autoflower’s topsoil. Should I be worried or is this a sign of good soil? I had a small cup to dome over and create a little more humidity for 2 is days, but removed for...

I'm working on a new, organic-ish soil recipe - first it will be used in my container vegetable garden, then if it works well, I'll use it for future cannabis grows. Right now, it's 3x bag local topsoil (1 cubic foot each) 1x bag organic composted humus and manure (1 cubic foot) 1x solo cup...

At first I thought these were aphids, but they are small and generally don’t change shape (ie I can’t see much of a difference between a larva vs adult stage). These are found primarily on lower bud sites. Have been using mercenary and physically removed a lot but it doesn’t seem to be enough...

Hey all, new to the forum and growing in general and want to start ten autoflowers outdoors. While waiting for the weather to change, I've bought soils and nutrients for my grow - such as FF Ocean Forest and Happy Frog potting soil, FF Big Bloom and Grow Big along with their Flower's Kiss as a...

Hey all, I've been interested on growing outdoors in the next coming months. I have chosen two autoflower strains to grow ten plants, Blackberry by Beaver Seeds and LA Confidential by Sonoma Seeds, that I planned on putting into 3.5 gallon Air Pots. With various research, I have come to a soil...

I noticed these little brownish yellow spots on multiple of my plants today. Started from seed about 2 weeks ago, Ocean Forest and Happy Frog mix. Under HLG 100 using BioCanna Vega and Rhizotonic and following their personalized feeding. PH water after bytes around 6.3-6.5. I’ve had temps at...

As the title says - I'm growing Herijuana (Steve Tuck version), and my standard Strawberry Kush (I still have a lot of these) Heri - 11/11 germed, 10/11 are getting their second true leaves now (1 damped off) --- Bottom two rows in the wide shot. - so far the Heri is more vigorous out of the...

First run with white widow photo. Beginning of 9th week after first flowers. 11 weeks after 12/12 flip. Trichs about 80% cloudy and maybe 2% amber on buds.

The fert ratios are varied but i generally use 22tbs of the all purpose and 13tbs of the veg to 20gal of soil. I change that sometimes to alter the NPK makeup of the soil, which is one benefit of only using the two ferts. Video length:5min

I plan on direct sowing around 50 seeds in a 600 square foot garden in a few weeks and was hoping swim could give me some advice. My soil is rated prime farmland, and classified as mestic. I plan on tilling in some 10-10-10 fertilizer just for good measure but was wondering if anyone had any...

So, not sure if you would call this 'old school' but I wish to grow weed without tents and fancy equipment... Basically as a house plant in my greenhouse that is part of my house, has walls and celing out of glass and a large number of other plants. Also has ventilation... Well a door I keep...
