I on the other hand, do recommend happy frog or ffof for a beginner because of its ease of use. I am also a new grower and I am trying coco husk for the first time. The one that is in coco isnt doing as well as the two in fox farm soil. My next round I am going to try some pro mix super soil so that I dont have to fertilize as much. Using a nuteless media for a beginner and not knowing how to feed them is just a nono in my opinion.i wouldn't suggest either of those soils, go with pro mix or SS#4
they are full of gnats and aphids, and if your a new grower its hard to tell when the nutrients are out of the soil and what exactly is still left.. leaving you with deficiencies or too much of something. use a medium that has no nutrients and just follow a nutrient line to a T besides cutting everything in half until you see how your plants react.
just my 2 cents..
well I'm not a new grower, and i managed a hydro store for a long time and helped a lot of new growers out, on this site as well as many others and in real life.I on the other hand, do recommend happy frog or ffof for a beginner because of its ease of use.

did you buffer the coco with calmag supplement? double up on the calmagThe plant on the left is the same as the one on the right except one is in coco husk and one is in ffof soil. The one on the left is much lighter green and I cant seem to feed it enough to get it to green up. I did a really heavy feeding on it and it burned some of the lower leaves but it just barely got any greener on the tops. I am having much better results with soil containing nutes, thats why im trying pro mix super soil next time.

So the foxfarm and happy frog are full of aphids and gnatsi wouldn't suggest either of those soils, go with pro mix or SS#4

If so what would be best. To eliminate the gnats and. Aphids if and when it becomes a problemSo the foxfarm and happy frog are full of aphids and gnats
No I did not know about buffering coco. I bought it at a pet store and then found out that the hydro store sells buffered kind.did you buffer the coco with calmag supplement? double up on the calmag
I'm trying to find my bearings on this site. This looked like the best place to start. So this is my current set up. I have a 50W LED grow light (3blue, 9red) approximately 8-12" above the tops of my plants. They are growing extremely slow. I recently transplanted the approximately 2 MONTH old plants into a 5 gallon bucket. And they they have been feed three times (about every two weeks, with plain water about every four days in between.) The humidity is usually around 45-60%, the temperature is usually around 73*. I have my light cycle on 18/6. As far as I can't tell they seem to be healthy, just very slow growing, and I can't figure out the cause. I know one plant is indica which was started about two weeks after the sativa, and has now bypassed the latter in size.
You need more light, start a new thread in the beginners section.
oneMy tips are use canna terra pro potting mix. But most of all don't over water. Dont over feed. We all have our prefered nutrients or soil etc so at some point your gonna have to jump in and go for it. Welcome to the forum and happy growing :D
What are you using for light? It's growing tall to find light.Do anyone know what this could be? I've got a plant ,no idea what strain but 90% think it's fem it's nearly 3ft tall with about 7 little branches , the stalk of the plant is stocky and thick but the branches are tiny little things ??? I've only trimmed like 10 big fan leaves from this plant underneath each tiny branch ????? Helppppp what should I do ???
