Why does ethos advise to keep it on for 5-7 days to promote root growth?i seriously advise pulling the dome off once they break soil because seedlings are very sensitive to damping off and they do just fine at 75% rh
happy growing dude
i don’t have any idea why they do but organic soil means bacteria and fungi and there is no way to control which fungi reproduces which mean pathogens can easily grow too if you present them with a suitable environment. also they really don’t need 100% humidity ime. they can grow just fine at lower rh.Why does ethos advise to keep it on for 3-4 days to promote root growth?
I will take it off tho if you suggest strongly :)
Thanks! I appreciate the advice!i don’t have any idea why they do but organic soil means bacteria and fungi and there is no way to control which fungi reproduces which mean pathogens can easily grow too if you present them with a suitable environment. also they really don’t need 100% humidity ime. they can grow just fine at lower rh.
Hey buddy! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. For the 4-4-4 with Gaia green living soil and worm mix it’s not too hot. I have a previous diary with the same mix with no issues but that’s to date :) never know what could happen. Thanks stopping in!Hey man nice grow, love Gaia green products.
I use the 444 and 284 mixed with promix, works great.
You don't think the living soil with added 444 might be a bit hot for seedling?
I've never done seeds straight to the soil. I've always put them in solos then transplant to bigger pots once established but even doing that my plants get burned a little sometimes. But my soil is a little hot I guess.
I used the living soil by itself when I first started organic growing, then just top dress in flower.
As for the dome on seedlings I also don't use them.
Good luck with your grow so far looking good. Hope you find a winner

That's good to know.Hey buddy! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. For the 4-4-4 with Gaia green living soil and worm mix it’s not too hot. I have a previous diary with the same mix with no issues but that’s to date :) never know what could happen. Thanks stopping in!
That's good to know.
Do you top dress also with Gaia green?
I found putting a clone in the living soil it was good with just water for around a month.
I did a side by side with the living soil and ffof. Both same clone same containers, ended up tossing the ffof after three weeks or so as it was half the size of the Gaia green living soil plant plus the room was getting too packed so I said fuck it and took it out. The living soil kicked fox farms ass, no doubt about it.
But I was forced to use ffof as my grow store stopped selling it for a little while. So I switched to promix adding dry Gaia Green products 444,284 and Insect grass, it's much cheaper this way as the bags were 30 per bag.
I just reuse my soil every grow too, just reamend it after each round with half original application.
Do you re use yours?

No, I use it elsewhere after but not with my plants. I don’t find it expensive after coming from bottled nutes. Much cheaper growing this way for me. Reamending the soil can cause it to be unbalanced after a while if it’s not professionally tested. I rather start fresh every time for my medicine :)That's good to know.

Do you like the smoke of Ethos?All my plants from seeds are Ethos and I never domed them .
Nice on the 5 out of 6 so far .
Nice! I will look up your diary. Sounds like you have variety, I like it. First time Ethos for me and after what you said I can’t waitSo far so good ! I am still on my January harvest,but should be testing the latest soon ? I did Mandarin cookie [ nice] Grape diamond [ nice ] and Hash Plant [ sleeper] in my first grow .
Grape Diamond was a good grower and flavorful.
Hash plant is a killer in sativas clothes ..Just pooped 16 seeds of HP into soil yesterday .
Got crecendo in cure .Hope it turns into something good as it could only be described as body odor when cutting.Also have Orange velvet underground and more Grape diamond in cure.
I have clones of all the last Ethos I grew .
