Did I just kill my plants??!

What fresh hell is this? In just a few hours, Gwyneth seems to be yellowing. Is this a result of over-fertilizing them a few days ago? Will she shake this off and survive. Good grief!

Its important to remember that hold and release is mainly for organic mixes that use pure water and not synthetic soil-less mixes. If you add fertilizer like Lester Beans you have to have discharge or the salts will build up to a toxic level in the root zone. So if you add fertilizer you may have to allow discharge to prevent excess salt build-up. Above you were talking about Fox Farms potting mixes and that is the method that works best with that soil. Water only, hold and release. I'm talking about two different growing models.

Ah ok, now that made it bit more clear. Thanks! So Imma just keep doing what i've been doing, and let that little bit run thru every watering. Maybe with next clones or seeds that I'll eventually start, I might look into the other method.

If you use Fox Farms soils, only use pure water for the first 4 weeks. Then if the plant needs feeding, you can give your plant fertilizer with a little runoff. If you put liquid fertilizer in fresh new potting soil you'll fuck the soil up because new soils come with a nutrient charge in it. Always wait a few weeks and let the plant use up the nutrient charge in the soil first before adding fertilizer. You are welcome to ask me questions anytime you want Friend. Good luck and happy gardening.

Fox Farm Happy Frog and Ocean Forest are quite different. The Ocean Forest has a lot more nutes from the factory.

My guess is over watered and needs Calcium.....

We're in the final stretch. And they're looking good at 9 1/2 weeks. But now I'm dealing with heat and humidity. Struggling to keep the temp below 80 and the humidity at 60 or below. I can bring the humidity down with a dehumidifier but then the temp rises so tell me what's worse for the plants? Too much heat or too much humidity? I feel like I have to choose.

Calcium will help that.

I’m sure many of us,,at one time or another have killed our plants,,,
I know I have ,,,
your plants look fine,,,less is more a lot of the time,,,

you flushed in time

I'm the opposite, I like to see good run off. I flood the pot well and the water bubbles as the air in the rootball is forced out and new air sucked in. The plants display a big jump in growth after every watering.

I concur with this post.

Just an advice:
the less the better.
