Dirt sucks. Couldn't resist.Me? I am now but a lot of what I have going currently is half and half, pro-mix / foxfarm (then I added 1/3 perlite)

I'm never sure when to feed in promix if I'm honest LOL I'm still working it out I've just got the wet/dry texture down now I guess I'll work on when to feed? Think I'm going back to ffof tooHow often you feeding with the half and half ? I don’t like this mix I got thinkin bout doing something like you got or even just going back to soil .
I did notice unbelievable root growth in those five gallon grow bags, I could barely stick a popsicle stick that I use for a marker 2 inches down into that new promix today!

Would you mist your plants because of very low humidity? I would automatically do that but I'm unsure when. I don't like the idea of spraying them and putting them back under the brights. Even when I have them in veg room I can only get it to 35% with humidifier. I'd like to let them sit in the shade until they dry up but that's not an easy do.I'm never sure when to feed in promix if I'm honest LOL I'm still working it out I've just got the wet dry texture down now I guess I'll work on when to feed?

Do you really credit the soil / medium / promix as being responsible for the good root growth you're seeing? And not your TLC and nute's?I'm never sure when to feed in promix if I'm honest LOL I'm still working it out I've just got the wet/dry texture down now I guess I'll work on when to feed?

Feeling the same thing just not sure I’m not even positive I got the watering thing down. I’m just trying different things till I find what I like and pro mix ain’t it. Maybe I’ll change my mind after harvest but as of now I do t think it fits my needs.

My personal rule is never spray anything on a healthy plant.Would you mist your plants because of very low humidity? I would automatically do that but I'm unsure when. I don't like the idea of spraying them and putting them back under the brights. Even when I have them in veg room I can only get it to 35% with humidifier.

Don't know exactly what it is, lotsa mycos but I always use that so IDK but I know I've got the thickest mat of roots I've ever had and it's right to the top of the soil to the point where I had trouble pushing popsicle sticks 2 inches deep without breaking the popsicle stick!?Do you really credit the soil / medium / promix as being responsible for the good root growth you're seeing? And not your TLC and nute's?

Promix is easy really, feed feed water. Check the runoff, if it's coming out higher than .3 ec over the inputs on the second feed in the cycle do feed feed water water. It has a decent cec so it can easily handle multiple water only cycles. But it's best to minimize them. Some of my best grows have been lower dose feeds every watering and only giving water only when it creeps up on me.

Pissed off. Broke my 3 inch seedling 4 days ago accidentally. Reached over it, totally unaware of my stupidity. Tried my ass off trying to get a root out of it. Gelled it. Tonight I had to add her to the compost. On the bright side, loving the coco coir. I've never had sprouts grow from first set of leaves to it's 7th set in 3 days. A new 1200 watt light, mega crop at 2 grams a watering and adding mYcos to the mix.
Have a skunk and a kiwi skunk almost ready to add to the veg tent.

First time using it. Got say, fast-growth I've seen in 10+ years. I realize growing in coco you get fast growth. The stems on them already are the size of Round bamboo skewers. Got to give credit to the roots for that. It made to my note book of. That's mostly full of what I didn't like for nutrients over the years.Don't know exactly what it is, lots mycos but I always use that so IDK but I know I've got the thickest mat of roots I've ever had and it's right to the top of the soil to the point where I had trouble pushing popsicle sticks 2 inches deep without

How do you go about raising feed ec?
I have been watering with nutes every time but ramping up only 2.5ml at a time starting at .8 including my .3 ec water. Mature plants usually level off at 12.5ml to 17.5ml. Then taper back down the same way. Thats after week 2 in ocean forest.
I never got so dialed in with promix when i was much newer at this. But i do now get best results feeding every time and water only if it gets to high. Pure blend pro actually recomends every watering on the label.
But it worked best for me with kind and a powdered nute.

Just keep it fairly low and increase it very slowly as the plants grow, and monitor runoff. I've found 1-1.3ec is really all they need when the roots have filled the pot and they are growing rapidly, Even closer to 1ec if feeding every watering. You need to treat it almost like hydro since it really is essentially a hydroponic medium. You just need to really watch for the ec to spike in flower around week 3 and dial it back accordingly. It can be a bit tricky and often bites me in the ass going in too hot. Less is better in promix for sure. But the nice thing is that it's so forgiving when underfed because of the cec. It's not so forgiving when overfed, because of that same cec.

My first time in promix so I really can't speak about that, but I've always used mykos but last summer I ran out and for whatever reason I didn't order it until maybe a month ago and I noticed a big difference in the root balls that I was pulling out to dispose of
With Mykos there was hardly any dirt left, was all roots, but without the Mykos I could see the difference in lack of root mass in the 3-gallon root balls

I’m using pure blend pro as well and feeding almost every time (lightly ) so far so good it’s just different from what I was doing , and feels like I’m feeding to much but plants seem to be responding well .How do you go about raising feed ec?
