I’m new to the Pro Mix - this is my first go in it.
When I ran it in 5 gal fabric pots, I watered every 3-5 days and always until runoff, but I also mixed in a gallon of perlite for every 4 gallons of ProMix.
I may have to try adding more perlite on the next round.
Makes sense. I have been growing strictly hydro, decided to try soil this time. Going back to hydro after this.
There is the theory that plants need a dark period for certain metabolic pathways that can't run in the presence of light but I have no idea what the basis is for that. I am currently running my autos on a 20/4 schedule, and they are doing fine. I will try the 24 hour cycle next time.
The dark reactions of the calvin cycle don't need darkness but they happen more efficiently if photosynthesis isn't happening (Most efficient in a 4 hour cycle).
Not really a theory. It's science. That said we can do lots of things that are not beneficial that won't kill us. Auto's are already genetically modified to be on a countdown clock so why not?
Wrong brother, The Ruderalis Plant is a product of nature, Its just really crappy weed in its natural form
Its a true Chem line so it will throw new white hairs all the way up to harvest. Was a little sensitive to nitrogen past the second week of flower much like the haze lines so back off the nutrients the second week of flower and watch the leaf tips for direction. Medium stretch, should lean sativa 60%@J.James just got that rock island, I think I'm going to plant a whole seed pack, for the first time.
We shall see, if you got any tips on it, feel free to let me know, I grow with f series Samsung strips
Otherwise correct though, right? GMO or natural, it's on the clock. Hitting it with 24/7 light is not going to be as detrimental as to a photo-period plant?
Thank you
Correct, Its a plant on a flower timer. Just don't want to start spreading "Autoflowers are GMO plants" rumors.
Just meant that it was purposefully - genetically mixed - with ruderalis to produce a desired effect. The genetics of the THC-bearing plant were modified to make them auto-flowering.
I bought 3 bales of Pro-Mix, enough for 180 1gal pots and 20ft of "weed barrier" for 89.00 from the Amish greenhouse a few miles from my home.
There is a wetting agent in it too of some sort to prevent hydrophobia . I can’t say what it is though. Anyone know what it is?
People have been creating GMOs for the last 30,000 years roughly. Whenever we selectively breed something (crops, livestock, pets) we are waiting for nature to throw some kind of desirable mutations, which may or may not be good or healthy for the organism, that we want to introduce into the breeding gene pool. This takes an incredible amount of time and resources for the farmer which is seen in the market price of the item. We love to see and purchase mutated and twisted dogs like Pugs or oversized monsters with defective hearts like Great Danes. For whatever reason though, when people use CRISPR to create a strain of blight resistant corn so the farmer can go from a 30% projected loss to 5% everyone freaks out because some advertisement on a Facebook video says GMOs are bad. Everyone needs to stop falling for the “”GMO free” marketing campaign. That’s my dumb-ass rant about that
I think GMO is more frowned upon in animals. Chickens bred fro fat breasts or big wings that no longer resemble a chicken is an example.
Are you seeing occasional leaf verigation where one half of the leaf is green and the other half (split down the middle) is more yellow? The real deal Chem D(awg) cut from 15+ years ago (or is it 20 now?) does this on some cultivars and it the true indicator of Chem D(awg) in the garden. (it also takes 3 weeks to root from clone) The cut I had for years did this on about 25% of the plants. Definitely weird the first time ya see it.
