Why is soil so hard???
Why is it that every time i try to grow something in soil......it dies.......seriously i dont know exactly how many plants i have killed. Any how i just thought that i would let every one know that my hydro plants are now on their 12th week and flowering wonderfully. It is so rewarding to grow your own. Any ways i invested $900 on a hydro setup in a "fake" closet at my house. Ebb & Flow is the way to go!!! To anyone scared of trying hydro or that always kills them in soil, this may be the way to go, just do your research....it worked for me anyway. Ill post some pics tommorrow....should have done a grow journal, but hey im just happy i found a grow process that works for me. Anyone else in here prefer hydro to soil???

Re: Why is soil so hard???

Re: Why is soil so hard???
The flora nova series has a good ph buffer. I use a tri pack with boosters and keep the ppm right at the edge of burn. Plus I keep my ph just below 6.

Re: Why is soil so hard???
Most people overwater when using soil. Even though the top may look dry it still maybe pleanty damp underneath. The best and only way to check is to stick your finger in the dirt and feel how wet or dry the soil about 2"-3" below the surface is.
Using organic soil and a light fish emulsion, cannabis practically grows itself, I can personally attest to that.
