yes thanks but its a strain that I've had issues with before so I half expected it late in flower but I reckon I still will have a great haul off her

I know but least I only lost a very small bit so I'm grateful for that and thanks bro

Just binged the thread. Awesome grow and great looking bud. You've also introduced me to Elephant. Is mould common for this strain? It may be a bit too large of a plant for me to grow given the size.

Overall what do you reckon of the sohum soil? Why do you think you had issues with it?

Thanks for the head's up. I will be getting out the clippers once again on my Ellephant girl. More air apparently being a good thing with this strain. I now wish I had installed the rot block. but more air and lower RH will have to do.

my only problem I had with it was letting the soil get too wet constantly as in my autopots I had root problems as it was keeping the media too wet but when I top fed the sohums at the end it was great

I was pretty ready to use this soil in autopots, now I'm not so sure. Thanks for showing the full grow and the issue you had. Do you think a layer of pearlite or balls at the bottom would help?

I started using canna cannazyn towards the end and that helped a great deal so I recon maybe if you run that alongside in your water occasionally as I'm used to using coco and clay pebbles so I have never had issues before but Im unsure what would be your best additive for drainage with the sohums soil as it was new to me but @pop22 ould surely have some input

Well, I just pulled about >1 liter of leaves off my girl. She looks a lot more open now. Given that it is about -14C outside now, keeping the RH down to low 40% will not be a problem either, so I have done what I can, short of having gone with Rotblock earlier.

So far, I do not think that my autovalves have kept my soil too moist, I have no sign of it anyway. If you have an air valve leak in your setup, the valves will refill early every time, and I expect that that could cause overwatering for sure. Did you confirm that the air valve was working properly in your too wet pot(s)?

Oh, and I should mention that not even hand cleaner could remove the fabulous aroma from my left hand. Hard to describe (as usual for me), but I love it. Absolutely salivating. Likely a bit of conifer in there, not a lot of skunk to my nose. Did I mention that it smells really, really nice?

Thanks again for the update on mould, you may have saved me some disappointment.
