Hey guys I appreciate the discussion! @Mrs. Weedstein Thank you for detailed response. You're probably right about the clover being the source of the problem as that's the only different variable from other grows. It's clear to me now I misunderstood the process in which the clover becomes...

Weird thing is I've ran FFOF during veg several runs now and never had to pH. Never had any issues. Plus its only the one plant. I'm going to give the plant some time to figure out its next move and if it doesn't improve I may just transplant it into my super soil that is buffered so I don't...

I would just keep filling out the scrog until you've filled about 85% of your lights effective space then flip to flower, the plants will stretch the first two weeks and fill in the remaining 15% of the scrog. I agree try to space out the pots the best you can. Lift up the net, adjust the pots...

Its like 1month old FFOF. I filled the pots and sprinkled clover seed at the same time I was germinating my seeds but due to some issues early on it took me much longer to successfully sprout any of the seeds. So the clover had fully grown in by the point i was ready to transplant. The pictures...

Hi all, I'm hoping somebody can help me identify why my plant is looking the way it is. Some information: Plant is in Day 17 Veg. I transplanted yesterday from red solo cup --> 1gal filled with FFOF, top-dressed with EWC + ground malted barley. I had clover growing in the 1gal pot while I was...

Day 16 Veg Today I transplanted the two biggest plants into 1gal containers filled with FFOF. I determined they were ready for transplant because their leaves were extended out past the red solo cups, but more importantly, they had a clear 24hr wet/dry cycle. They would completely drink a full...

Hey Durum thanks for dropping by! Yeah I'm super excited for this grow despite some early setbacks I'm just using this as a learning experience really so these challenges are all part of the fun :)

Quick update. The plants are coming along nicely despite my cats repeated attempts to sabotage this grow :laugh2: The only complaint that I have at this point in the grow is all the stems are so flimsy. If I tap the cups or move them to roughly the plants start tilting over and I need to...

Hey Rkmcdon! I'm starting a no-till flower pot and I was wondering the same thing. I don't think you need to worry about killing the cover crop because once the plant gets big enough it will cast a shadow over it and it will likely die off. No worries though because it will act as a sort of...

No I can't link to a specific article or scientific journal but it seems to be the commonly accepted practice when it comes to watering organic vs synthetic. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can step in and give you the exact science behind it. But I imagine for what the OP is asking for, it...

The reason you don't want to water until runoff is when you are growing organically, all the magic happens in the soil. So if you start heavily watering you can wash away the beneficial bacteria/nutrients. You want to water until saturation and stop once you start seeing it trickle out from the...

So I mentioned that my cat pulled one of the seedlings out of the soil and left it to die on the tent floor. Luckily I rescued it and replanted, but it wouldn't stand up on its own so I staked it with zip ties. Well I went out today and picked up some paper clips to stake with instead. When I...

Good Morning Everybody! What an exciting day today is...the worms arrived!! When the Fedex driver dropped off the package he was genuinely curious what was inside because of the air holes. When I told him they were worms, he gave me this weirded out and confused look lo. Oh what a strange life...

So while I was showering today I left the tent open so the plants could get some fresh air and well, my cat decided he wanted a taste of one of my seedlings!! I get out of the shower to discover one of the red solo cups knocked over and no seedlings in sight. I seriously thought my cat ate the...

As I mentioned in the OP, I decided to make a vermicompost worm bin to provide my garden with some fresh EWC, the worms are arriving Saturday. I went out in search today of cardboxes and after driving around various shopping centers I uncovered the motherload behind an Albertsons haha. Snatched...

So I went to the local composting yard and picked up 5gal of their chunky compost for free... the fine stuff was $30 no matter what amount I was getting. Would this be acceptable to put into my vermicompost bin?

Here are a few pictures of the setup and of the seedlings. I germinated them using the paper towel method and planted into Red Solo cups filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. They will be eventually up-potted to the 1gal containers you see. I covered two with clover to help add Nitrogen to the soil...

Heyy Good Morning everybody, Welcome to the grow Journal! As the title says, this is my very first attempt at an all organic grow, and I couldn't be more excited. This is my third grow overall. My first grow, I used clones and Advanced Nutrient's line of synthetic nutrients -- I had FANTASTIC...

Majority of the search results for "ROLS Soil" links back to this thread haha. Although I suppose that helps filter out some of the posts here. Thanks guys.
