Sorry for the delayed response, I didn’t set up notifications I guess. My aggravations with Fox Farms was mainly my own. Kudos to Fox Farms for being awesome. Yes, it was a little confusing but they’re not wrong, I was just confused because I’m a little OCD.
horticulture, botany, none of which do I have a degree in, are complicated to say the least. Despite that, I have learned to simply relax and let the plant do it’s thing. I can credit my last grow to the calm atmosphere but it was also a point I needed to reach.
the
Fox Farm feeding schedule for soil is right on. It was never about their feeding schedule, I didn’t know it then, but my medium needed to be altered. It never occurred to me that you needed to buy 4 different mediums to mix together to make the process work. Try to cut corners and stuff happens. I can’t feel too bad about it in the end because even with all of my mistakes, my 1 mother plant and 39 clones netted over 650 grams of excellent medicine.
there’s always room for improvement, but I think the biggest improvements I’ve made this 3rd round is:
1) soil mixing
2)full nutrient schedule from
Fox farm, she seems to really be happy about that.
3) letting the roots dry out. I watered every day during my first 2. She’s fat and happy when she’s drying out.
I think getting watering right helps. I measure water in and out so she just starts to drip but never puddles in the pan below. Give her just enough moisture to not drain out. I like that. Less garbage nutrient water to deal with, less nutrients needed per feeding ... all good things. She seems to like that too.
