Been running lights at 75%(few days) after i noticed one fox tail and some yellow hair so pushing out

Over fed maybe too much light. (Nitrogen)

Anyway .

We are close .

I hate taking photos in dark, always reminds me of a PM plant I had.
Any suggestions to get a good pic lemme know !

ALso noticing purple on all so maybe a bit Cold on roots and over night. But only started now , no changes in temps entire grow.

been 44 days since bloom started? Do you have some kind of magnifying lens? Also give them a good sniff, I find the smell evolves over time like a ripe fruit, you can tell by the stink.

Gorgeous :drooling_face:drooling.

I really don’t she any fox tailing I only see very healthy plants they’re beautiful

I was getting a great deal of foxtailing with my LEDs with the old tent that was 60 inches high my new tent at 80 inches high allows more room between the white less heat and more or air circulation

If letting it “cook” I’d make sure that it stays moist with the cover on…it doesn’t need a lot of heat as the microbes are what’s doing the “cooking”…breaking down the nutrients into a usable form for the plants…

EDIT: looking at your ingredients list there isn’t much in the way of nutrients….that soil mix should be ready to use now…sorry didn’t see above post…

I can’t answer that bro as I’ve no idea. When I’m done with soil I just dump it and buy more. My garden level raises by about an inch each year :rofl:

I’m going to use an all-purpose 444 fertilizer and then I’ve also got Remo nutrients liquid salt based .

Probably don’t need to cook it just wondering about storing probably keep it in my garage with the lid on

Edit
Thank you for the reply
I’ve got a lot to learn but after reading about everything on this site about organic soil and composting I’m really itching to try. I’d really like to know what I can start keeping from my kitchen scraps to start a compost. Literally just get a bin and throw all kitchen scraps in there from vegetables?

Here we go lol
Just up potted 7 plants an changed the soil in 6 cups for better .

Had to boot two plants. Might just have to put the into flower tent
Big clean up before the wife gets home in 25 minutes and I have to go pick her up so that gives me about 6 minutes to shop vack the whole house

@Foreigner @JoeCrowe
If they don’t start taking to this new soil it’s clearly user error . Lol
I made lots more holes in cups .cut out triangles Alo throughout so it can dry out & dumpedthem out. N looked at rootsand re potted with new soil mix.
Will be interesting for sure. They were growing . Just slow. I think my air flow was non existent . Didn’t want to vent All the heat out .
