Adding more soil to pot

[BryanHuang]

Umm wait a sec
Promix HP is an inert medium that needs to be amended for the plants you are growing. It is great for cannabis and I have used it outdoors for a very long time. If no nutes have been added to HP and the plant grew you truly have a magic bag of HP.

I indeed have not added any nutrients to soil i started in the rock wool soaked in root growth hormone then tossed into this soil i bought from some asian dude and added water been growing what nutrients should i buy?

8” is very close

LEDs are very intense normally depending on the wattage you’d have it 18-36” away

I’ll need to research your light the only t5 I know of are fluorescence witch you can have closer

Herb has his closer about 13” however he’s the only one I know that does still it seems to work for him

 

[Gmix]

Looking online it seems that they do have led t5 tubes witch is new to me

I don’t know enough about your light to comment maybe someone else does
Good luck

As promix HP needs amended or nutrition in the pot from day one and the unknown origin of the soil from " some Asian guy" I have no way to recommend what you should put in the pot.
Good luck in your grow

I just soaked it in neem oil rn and about 5 days ago maybe it was that first time i soaked it with neem oil as these photos are my second time soaking em cause i had seen a spider mite

Ah right I missed that.
That’s probably why they are so shiny

Neem oil is rank it can’t be washed off & makes the trim unusable as it leaves a foul taste
I use my trim to make bubblehash hence why I say it’s rank as you can’t even make bubble out of anything that’s had neem oil on it

Try predator mites they will eat them & the larvae they lay

https://dragonfli.co.uk/search?q=spider+mites+&search=+ you can also find them locally or on Amazon/ebay

I am not familiar with hp pro mix however if it’s inert ( has no added food ) witch It seems it is by the comments & you have not fed it I can’t for the life of me figure why your plants not showing deficiencies.

It doesn’t add up maybe the “ Asian guy “ rebagged some cheaper soil & put it in the hp bag it’s the only thing that makes sense

Although the bag of HP mix shown in the picture looks much like what is sold at the local hydro stores and comes with pretty much zero nutrients (only beneficial microbes), some big box stores are selling "Pro Mix" that has had nutrients added. I'm not sure what the OP actually has but I also find it odd that without some kind of nutrition, the plants are not showing serious deficiencies.

Thanks for the heads up

How can i identify the big box stores bag with nutrients added versus the non nutrients added version?

You'll get a million answers. What I can say is that I've used a lot of different brands through tending friends grows and working in the industry. That being said, after all that I still haven't found a nutrient that is better than what GH has been offering for 30+ years. GH Flora Trio. I use the concentrated version FloraNova.

Look on the content label. It'll tell you if it was fortified or not.


When you spray down your plant I hope you are also spraying the leaf bottoms where mites like to lay eggs and hide. I don't like Neem because of its oily film. I like to use a product called Azamax. It is a derivative of Neem, OMRI certified and is very effective at killing off a plethora of bugs.

Download a light meter app so that you have a clue as to how much light your plants are receiving. If you have an android phone I recommend Tent Buddy. Iphone? Photone. Having this tool will allow you to be able to fine tune the correct amount of light your plant(s) are receiving. If you really want to improve your grow look into Daily Light Integral. It will show you how much light you want to be giving your plant at each stage of its growth.

This chart gives you a rough idea of what your plant wants most when so you can tailor your nutrients to improve the performance of your grow. The only thing I would change is to start increasing Ca and Mg a couple weeks earlier.

Light, Temperature and Humidity are the 3 factors that will determine the success of your grow. Get them all right and you'll be rewarded with a nice bounty.

No bud I use either nematodes or predatory insects

I have heard others use captain jacks

As above I do hear folks saying good things about gala green I use guano though & it’s not something I’ve tried myself

t5 ho is 54w per tube

 

[amneziaHaze]

8” is very close

LEDs are very intense normally depending on the wattage you’d have it 18-36” away

I’ll need to research your light the only t5 I know of are fluorescence witch you can have closer

Herb has his closer about 13” however he’s the only one I know that does still it seems to work for him

I have mine at 11.8inches(30cm) got some light bleach at 27 this year but last year and years before 27 worked no problem. 300w i think the book from the lamp allsoo says 30cm
But i am hydro maybe that makes a difference

Should i start to flower starting to get tall. Gotta do 12 hrs on light 12 hours light off? Maybe add some guano to the soil?

is it an auto or photo? I would just let it ride honestly you’re in prime grow season depending on where in the world you are

Beautiful Plant! Well done. Be careful leaving your pots on concrete if you are leaving them out to cut down your light bill. Where I'm at it'll hit 100°+ for weeks on end which heats up the concrete which will cook your roots if you aren't careful. As long as you lift it up off the floor you should be fine but direct to concrete can stunt them if the temps in your area are extreme.

Looks like you're in a 3 gallon nursery pot? If your grow space allows for a large plant I would transplant into a larger pot and keep vegging until you get to a size that you know will finish using the space provided. Sounds like you are in a tent? If so what size tent are you in?

Yea its a photo; im in Los Angeles summer right around the corner. Ill probably let it grow more.
