hi there everyone im new to growing but i thought i would share some info. after some long chats with the owners of a hydroponics shop by my house they said a little pre water before feed when growing in soil can benefit. the reasons for this is (from what they told me) that the roots pores close up when the growing medium drys out and if you had watered them with feed the plant will not take the full feed as it needs time to open the pores again and that only happens when it gets moisture. so giving a prewater of about 10% of the amount you water your plants and then leaving it for 30 minutes before watering with the feed. this will allow the roots to feel the moisture, open up it pores and be ready to take all the feed you throw at it.

as i said this is what they told me but they have many many years experience with soil growing i am not able to compare because as i am in process of my first grow i got nothing to compare with. but i havent had problems and the girls look great. so even if it doesnt work or only a little it could never hurt to try :)

I do same as you pheno, always scratch the top layer of the soil with a fork and a long wooden pike to make some "holes"

And i personally always water in 2 time, first half to everygirl, then second half, most of the time it makes about 20mn before 1st and 2nd.

Thanks for sharing that info, an interesting thought, and a nice info from bozoph too!

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
