Haha Billionfold, I had to post a space-holder to edit an old post and clarify something. Even mods can't edit posts, but using the 'merge' function we can make changes to either post to be merged.
Man you are on top of things this afternoon! :D
Edit:
Yes, and you will all be quizzed on this stuff at the end of the season! Study!
So stinky, if I decide to use the humus & manure + perlite, can I start my seedlings in this? Also, if I plan to LST, what should my re-potting schedule look like?
I think it says in the guide DON'T use it for seedlings. Use a seedling mix. It's got too much fertilizer in it, being manure and all...
If you are training your plants, your SCHEDULE shoudl be the same but for pot size, instead of 'a gallon per foot' it is more like 'a gallon per foot OF MAIN STEM' so you have to estimate how bushy the plant is too.
At what stages of growth should I be repotting? Also, although I know it's going to vary on conditions, do you have an guidelines for watering? I have a friend that swears by a "water meter", any opinions on this? Thanks!
Repotting guidelines are linked in the first page of this thread and stickied at the top of Basic under 'continuous canopy'.
Watering is also explained above... water when the pots feel light.
Water meters are pointless. You can determine the same thing by picking up your pot.
yo bro i have a couple questions do u think u could help me out bro im in beginning of 5th week flower can u check it
I picked up some Fafard's Professional Potting Mix (says it's okay for seedlings), but the only Perlite i could find was the Miracle-Gro kind that's fertilized - is there anything I should do to make sure this doesn't burn my seedlings?
The MG brand perlite is still just plain perlite unless the package lists NPK values on the back, and I've never seen a ferted perlite. Should be fine.
Kloud, you need to start your own thread. This is a general information sticky.
man, people really keep you busy stinky. you're a true saint on this site. i do have a question though. you've mentioned in posts about PMing someone. I thought this site didn't have that function but maybe I'm wrong. Explanation? Thanks in advance hun :)
morning
The mods have a pm function that we can use to get info to members 'off the record'. To reply, you have to either use the rep system, the email addys we have linked in our sigs/profiles (same board rules apply of course, since it is our 'business' address haha), or by making a thread in 'feedback'.
