prewatering the medium is the only way i transplant, and it works great! if you transplant into dry medium, when you do water it, it collapses in on itself and you end up with dry pockets in the mix, and have to add more medium. it has to be watered anyway so what better time?Quote:

So you're going to have to get your pH up slightly.
The holes in your buckets, do any of them manage to break the seal formed by the ring the bucket sits on? Lifting the whole thing up on a couple bits of scrap wood so that there is air flow under there is a very good idea.
no they do not break the outside ring, they butt right on the line. Then there is another circle of 6 ring further in towards the middle. Then one hole directly in the middle.
Those leafs are dead as fuck now. I mean i still dont kno what has caused this im thinking it was a bad Ph.
dude, it's fert burn, you need to flush them. you can cut off the dead crispy leaves. once they go, they don't come back. 3x the container size.
Aright sounds like another flush, hopefully i get it right this time... So Bongo ur sayin i need to put 15 gallons of water thru my bucket? I mean i kno that u r and ur right, it just seems logisticaly, like alot of liquid to go thru "said" are u kno..
Also i noticed today, that on the top half of the screwy plant that some of the hairs have shriveled up tips on them... Any ideas on that one??
i'm not saying it, it's just something i've read a gazillion times. it's probably a math type thing with ratios etc. have a fan blowing over the top of the medium too. the shriveled top growth is the result of the burn. it's always better to have your plants a little hungry, than to overfeed them.Quote:
