Greetings, n00b Grower here, trying to learn the fundamentals, looking to do another grow in soil again, my question is DIRTY HANDS INC. ORGASOILUX claims enough nutrients for 3-6 months. This being said, is it then not needed to add fertilizers along the way if using this soil? Thank you

Good day Peeps, its been awhile since i've last been active here the itch to grow again has hit hard and this time i would like to look into using the proper equipment. my only concern is how much of an affect loadshedding has on the plants. Are people having to make use of back up power solutions as an necessity or is it still viable to proceed as i won't have the type of finances to purchase a proper backup power solution. My main concern not having back up power would be any stress that loss of power to the indoor grow may cause, particularly the females turning hermie. Someone at a local grow shop pointed out that auto flowers don't tend to hermie from disruptions to the photo periods, I'm assuming the dark period never has light interruptions but during light periods there will be these intermittent 2 hour stretches of darkness . Are people with indoor grows having any notable issues caused by Loadshedding? Is it still worth proceeding on to grow if no backup power is secured for the grow. Thank you

The lights cycle is not such a big issue. It’s more Fluctuation in humidity that causes the most issues. As long as your plants get their 12 hours sleep you should be fine. Keeping the humidity down during the load shedding period is the most important thing.

You don’t need to add anything. You can get a really good grow whit that soil. Freedom Farms Antifragile and Orgasoilux is my go to brands. Just add water.

Yup, hasn't changed, just keep in mind, the less energy the plants get, the less potent they will be.

Thank you for this write up, i'm in the process of deciding between these two brands, seems like what is around in SA, its between these two brands. I'm leaning more towards the BudBox Pro for the sake of quality and overall life span.

They LAF.. Sure. Not stable though. Out of a pack of five, chances are you have 5 phenos.
