This is great! I'm so happy that there are many kind growers.

I know I made myself possibly sound more ignorant than I am, and please don't take this the wrong way guys.... I knew a lot of that already. However, the people who gave the more pointed answers, thank you very much, well actually, thank you EVERYONE! it all helps, even if it is only to reinforce something already known.

Ok, with that said, I think I've worked out what my soil is supposed to look like when it's dry, and my newest clone is growing like a mad hatter. I've been overwatering, and that was leading to just constantly moist soil (No root rot on my flowering one, thank God!).

Bad side.... I learned this too late. My flowering girl has three weeks left on her, and I doubt that it will significantly increase my bud size to have correct watering this late in the game. (If I'm wrong, PLEASE TELL ME!)

I was also wondering something else:

1) Does my softener do a lot to my water? Will it be a problem?
(Could only find "It could build up over time, may require more frequent flushing")
NOTE: I have no access to the water before the softener, the dumbass who built the house I live in, didn't include one before hand, even the laundry room washtub is after the softener....weird!

2) When should you clone a mother plant?
(I'd think it would be node count dependent?!)

Maxor420 Reviewed by Maxor420 on . I'm in need of a LOT of opinions! I realize that there are tons of ways to have your grow room set up, as far as growing mediums and the like. I use soil, not soil less, or any type of hydro. Please do not give me those types of techniques unless it will work for my situation in a positive, non-work intensive manner. I don't have expensive soil, in fact it's a premium blend from a bargain brand. They call it a "Potting Soil". It is spongy, has about 8-10% perlite (White granules), and a fair amount of wood particulate. Rating: 5
