I was going to go bigger than 3×3 but decided to stick with just because I didn’t want to go all out and completely flop at it. So I figure I’ll run a grow or 2 thru this 3×3 and go from there. I’m definitely going to be shopping for new light is the next xoming weeks tho.

That late into flower 1 Tbsp molasses with 1 tsp of Epsom salt in 1 gallon is pretty safe once a week

Thanks for tagging.
I don’t have a whole lot to say, aside from it looks good! They seem happy for the most part.

I would however recommend putting burlap or light material around the black pots you have outside. Your roots within 4-6” of the pot boundary could get cooked.

Correct Epsom Salts are a good source of magnesium.

For Calcium think Gypsum (WONDERS for outdoor girls), liquid Bone Meal, Dolomite Lime (slow acting and prings pH up in soil as well) and some brands of Silica (SOME)

I haven’t been doing silica, but have thought about it. It’s that something my plants would benefit from or would it make little difference?

They absolutely would. Its a ticket for THICC stems. Lol.

What do you have on hand?

What I use BuildASoil is the brand. They carry a couple diff types but @Budbrother recommended me this one

Hey @PurpNGold74
That’s new, didn’t know silica could be used in soil! I thought it already had it!

It does in most soils. I dont use it often at all! It clumps and coagulates with some things. So I basically use it like 1 or 2 times a grow. And only with straight water WELL MIXED.

Originally I was looking for something to bring my pH up on feed days, tryna kick the Baking Soda (didnt feel right, but worked fine). But ive since stopped mixing it with any supplements.

Rhinoskin is mostly just silica i believe. Dont quote me lol

I have a few other additives other than the fox farm trio but didn’t want to do to much at once cause I’ve never grown autos. I wanted to see how manageable the were before I started going crazy with everything. I was going to start adding terpinator but I don’t even know if I’m going to do that

Eggshells dissolved in vinegar is a way to get calcium back into the medium. Takes awhile though.
