GROW TIP OF THE WEEK

• If you are using dirt that is rich in nutrient content, consider using less liquid fertilizer. At transplant I’d recommend not using any nutrients and perhaps continue not using them for the first couple weeks. Also, when you are growing a new strain you should start out with less nutrients. You can always increase nutrients throughout the cycle if your plants appear to need it. However, it is very difficult to go the other direction. Once you’ve burned your plants they are burned.
