    Purple underside of leaves on seedling

    Many possibilities without knowing the environment. Is the medium staying warm enough so the roots can uptake?

    Ambrosia Cropz

    There are some larger corporate farmers producing some nice flowers using their water-soluble nutrients. Any home growers using this brand and seeing positive results? Thoughts?

    Saponins from Quillaja

    Absolutely. Great foliar benefits by softening the plant walls. I'm on the fence because of that expense but the dual-purpose of soil drench/foliar feed is nice. I've used ThermX70 but it is messy and also pricey. Have you seen noticeable benefits from your foliar application of BAS Quillaja?

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    Thx. I'll amend the next batch and give it a run. I've considered using a surfactant like saponins as well though it seems more expensive.

    Saponins from Quillaja

    I'm thinking of trying some Saponins in my living soil. Is anyone using and what type of benefits are you seeing? I've read that it can kill nematodes.

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    Yes. Aeration may be the ticket as I usually have a hydrophobic crust on the top. Watering slowly usually helps saturation but I think I'm losing a lot to the sides. Thx

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    I don't think an understanding of the living plane of being and life is pragmatic. But to each his own.

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    I'm a believer in as in 'As above, so below; as below, so above' with regards to plant growth. The flower was great but it may have been better. That's just my craft way...

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    This would make sense. I usually water slowly over a 15 minute period to 'try' and saturate the medium and check the base to make sure it is wet. How much time would you use adding 2 gallons to ensure saturation but little runoff? 30 min?

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    This makes sense as I don't believe there really is a single-time-based solution and a visual check of the roots would be valuable.

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    Water when dry and leaves begin to droop. Gallon every 2 days at stretch and bulk. Then drop to every 3 days when the flowers are riping.

    Root ball not filling whole pot.

    After my most recent living soil harvest in smart pots, I noted the root ball only made it about halfway down my 7 gals and did not touch the bottom half of the soil. Transplanted w/extreme mycos from 3 gal to 7 when going to bloom and it appears the roots really didn't grow a lot since. no...

    Love my Elev8. Just harvested some amazing Birthday Runtz. I've never had a problem with ANY beans popping. 100% germ on their genetics. Personally, for the price they do a hell of a job, It ain't no in-house but haters will hate.

    Elev8 Seedbank Runtz sucks

    I ran 3 Elev8's Bday Runtz on my last run and was very happy with the end product. All Fems. Healthy, relatively pain-free grow. Didn't yield a lot (which I don't shoot for anyways) but it did produce some dense nugs that produced tasty, strong smoke. Didn't wash/sift so I can't speak to the...
