Thanks! Tried the Aerogarden first and it was a disaster. I was unprepared and they simply dried up. Now these plants have sprouted so much quicker and seems to be thriving. Hope I don't screw it up.they look greatkeep it up
I think it's from the living soil. Smelled very gross but the knats seemed to come out of the soil. No knats anywhere in my home aside from the occasional fly. I'm hesitant to use any pesticide. Any suggestions for a natural deterrent?
Diatomaceous earth works easy, just use per directions.
Bags are three gallon. I wasn't sure either of what size to use. I just made sure to keep it compact due to space limitations. These are autoflower plants so I figured the smaller bags wouldn't be a factor as the plants are not going to grow for months. Per the instructions they flower at 58 and 66 days. I have about three layers of full fan leaves so according to instructional videos online I should top each plant after five layers of full fan leaves. I'm learning on the fly so if you have any advice I'm open and grateful for any you give.
Should I fill the soil to the brim? Yet again another thing I wasn't 100% on.
Nice. Okay that works. Thank you.
Yeah that makes sense. Trial and error so far but glad I'm picking up the experience and these communities exist to help me out along the way. I still have no idea what to do once it starts to flower.
They look Great, to me. Do you plan to fertilize Organically?
Yes. So far everything I have used is organic. The living soil contains fertilizer so I'm unsure what to use going forward. These are autoflower plants and according to the company from autoflower living soil nothing more is needed besides water and the organic potting soil added for volume. It almost seems too easy so I wanted to get this thread going in case any experienced growers out there don't mind giving me any helpful tips. Seeds are expensive and I already wasted two on a failed Aerogarden setup over almost a month ago. Does growing with the sun rather than my grow tent change anything in regards to potency or size? I feel like the sun would be way better. I used the sun on my windowsill to sprout and once it popped up I move them into the tent.
Hey Hsilvas , I suggest you see a dr for you obsessive " cleanliness" disorder
Sometimes I put my pecker in a bag that's 3 times too big
And does your pecker grow in a larger warmer moister container
RE: ORGANIC: I have been interested in Organic growing, but have been unwilling to Commit to it, so I'll follow this thread to see how yours works out. I've read some very interesting things about Unsulfured/Blackstrap Molasses teas. It actually has an excellent "N-P-K" rating for Cannabis, and includes numerous obscure minerals - the total lack of which will result in a deficiency at some point. I had Gnats once. I used the Yellow Sticky papers. Took awhile, but it worked. I like Gammagoat's recommendation of using two inches of Perlite, to interrupt their life cycle. Between the Stickies and that, I'm sure you'll be rid of them soon.
