Totally fine to supercrop before flowering and even during the initial flowering stretch. I wouldn't really supercrop after the stretch on the plants stops.

do u think its the soil or the lights or the nuts u use is what helps ur plants grow so fast and nice.
Or do u think its all 3- the lights, soil, and nuts that work so well. I need to get my garden back on track. :( for me its gotta be one of those things thats hurting my garden.

Thanks.

I never thought of it like my plants grew nice and fast. I look at it like my plants aren't growing poorly lol.

I don't feed the plants much nutes (or nuts). The soil mix I use is a 50-50 mix of used soil (old promix:ewc:perlite mix) and new soil (promix:ewc:perlite). I add some Biotone to the used soil and they might be given a little age old bloom once or twice during flowering but other than that it's strictly water.

Here's my advice/opinion for someone that is starting out; KISS (Keep it simple stupid).

A plant will grow just fine in a mix that has say promix, earthworm castings and perlite. It might not get as large as a plant with more nutes. It might run out of nutes before the end of flowering and the plant might really start eating itself.

The one thing you should not see with that basic soil mix is pH problems.

Most of the problems I see from beginning growers is they chase their tail trying to fix pH problems from their drive to push nutes to the flowers.

KISS. Once you've successfully grown a round, then, if you choose to, start adding to yer feeding regime and making it more complicated.

Time to get the next round in the 1sq ft cab going.

Here are the plants that will be run.

This round will have five plants; C99 x SD IBL, ChemSis, Geisha4, PKAK07B, and a bagseed plant.

I figured I'd try something new this round. I'm going to be putting all the plants in the same container to flower out.

Here they are transplanted to their new home and start of some veg.

Because the plants were taller I decided to plant them all at an angle so they would have some room to stretch.
