Last year, I grew 2 plants in this soil that said it feeds for up to 6 months. I was later told that I shouldn't grow in soil that has added nutrients. One member, here, told me having the nitrogen in the soil, still, when you put your plants into the flower stage is no bueno.
OK, so I went out and bought some soil labeled organic with the understanding that it didn't have added nutrients. Now, I'm reading that while it doesn't have added nutrients, it does have naturally occurring nutrients. I'm so fucked in the head.
Last year, I started another pair of seeds in the newly acquired organic soil, and the plants grew very well in their Solo cups. Then I moved up to ~1 gal pots, and the plants seemed to stop growing. I later learned that the roots never really grew outward into the added soil in these pots. It was like the roots were repelled from growing into newly added soil needed for these new 1 gal pots. I ended up throwing my plants in the trash.
Now, I'm growing in this same batch of organic soil for this year's grow, and they've only reached ~5.5" tall in 7 weeks!
It's like this soil is bad, toxic or whatever, even though the 2nd pair of plants from last year, and the 4 plants(but, a different strain) from this year look fantastic, they just don't seem to grow much.
I don't think I'm going to get to smoke this year, at all!
