When I got home from work today I checked the pots again and the top 1" was dryin up so I kinda dug at it alittle with my finger and it fluffed right up. I think I just got nervous. Never made my own mix before and not knowing how it reacts yet just had me over thinking. The plants look great...
Thanks for the reply. They are from seed in 2gal pots because it's all organic. From my understanding this was ok I guess I'm an idiot. Normally I start off in a 2x2" pots until at least 3wks or until somewhat root bound. But that was with a store bought mix that didn't have near as much perlite...
I watered my 2 gal pots with 2L per. Had very little runoff but it's seems like my soil got super compact when I stick my finger in it after doin so. I have at least 40% perlite in my mix. Plants are two weeks old. I'm hoping they will be fine as I see no drooping or yellowing. Just want some...
What about this Morsen COB 600w full spectrum. It's for two chips in a fixture.

I'm sure I overwatered. I thought maybe it would drain better. And I heard that you want to see runoff when watering. I just don't know if I should pull my plants now while young and repot or will my soil fluff back up. Also was thinking about using my air pump and shoving a couple hoses in the...
First time organic grower. Hommade mix that I have in 2gal pots nursery pot that I drilled a few extra holes in. Just transferred plants into these pots two days ago. After transplant I watered thoroughly. This morning I felt soil and it seems to have really compacted. I have at least 40%...
$80 for mars light.. I can use it throughout the entire grow and it doesn't produce any heat at all. I don't know a lot about COB but it seemed like everything was $200+. Also my box is only 2.5ft tall so I only have right at 18" from pot to light. So I feel like if I use COB I'll run into heat...

I'm still kindve a noob grower but have completed a few harvest with different setups. Here is a rundown.
Mars Hydro 300 LED
Organic mix I made:
Peat moss
Compost
Manure
EWC
Perlite
Oyster shell
Lime
Blood meal
Bone meal
Fish fert
Alfalfa meal
Kelp meal
Dash of Jobes...
I already have oyster shell in my mix. Will that be a sufficient amount of calcium? I already had some Epsom so I thought I could just use it for the magnesium
So instead of buying some Calmag can I just use eggshells and rosin salt? Do I go ahead and put it in my mix as a preventative measure or when I see signs of deficiency.
Ok well I have the setup to bubble but if it isn't going to make a difference I will just let the water sit for at least 24 hours before use. I haven't tested ppm in my tap water but the ph is kinda on the alkaline side. Can I use a half a cap of all natural vinegar to drop ph. I've done the...
Normally I use a serious of buckets and air stones to "bubble" the water for at least 24 hours but I've never grown "organic " so will this be ok or do I need to use something different
Right now I'm on kindve a tight budget. Couple hundred at most for now. I'm prepping for a larger grow soon. I'm a noob grower but have a few good harvest. I've grown soil hydro and now on to organics. My thing with this is I've always used HID lighting. Learned from an old school head and just...
