First time using living soil. please let me know what else i need to do

Hello again …I am going to just come out and say this dumb thing I did today. I have been having a facaca freaking time with this super silver haze. Soooo. I thought i needed to use my x ray vision to look at the root system. Welllll, vision did not work, but scissors to cut open pot did. Yup. I cut this thing out. Lol. Not a single root past about 4 inches of top. I knocked off all dirt to expose the crappy roots that were there and repotted in fresh living soil. I can reuse when this faux experiment ends with deadness. Anyhoo, just one of those daze.

She was in rough shape. That soil all over the floor was dry as a bone and no roots at the bottom at all. She is just an obstinate b#$@h.
I will let you know if i toss her in the lake. Jk

You just found your answer

Roots can’t get nutrients from dry dirt so they don’t grow into it, other than maybe a small root that is looking for moisture and will tell the plant ifit finds anything

It’s good to water to a tiny bit of runoff at least once every couple weeks just to make sure you don’t have dry spots. With a good soil mix with perlite in fabric pots it’s almost impossible to overwater , imo it’s better to water to runoff every day than to skip days

I wanted to come back and say this is for organic growing in living soil only. I don’t have any suggestions for synthetic nutes in soil. It’s been way to long since I did any synthetic growing

These are in living soil. My 4 in veg tent are looking ok. Put the saucers under as suggested. I will top dress with highway bloom a week before flip.

Crap. WPM on 2 flowering plants!!
Now what?? I have JMS for it, but afraid to use in flower. H2O2 too acidy? Milk?
@repins12 @Drinkslinger still use JMS?
I have used it before in veg.

I’ve used it all the way up to a couple weeks from harvest. Look at the label. I’m not at home right now so I don’t have access to my laptop.
When using products if they have a dosage/listing for tobacco, that’s what I use :v:t3:
