    Default accidentally used compost instead of soil...

    I never noticed the fukup up until it was too late(week or so), i stopped nutrients right away(plant magic). they are 25 days into a 70 autoflower.. so i cant go back, so going forward is it best to bin them and start again? keep on going withhout nutrients until the end? until they start to flower? it holds water so there isnt really a "dry day", so i have been watering just as normal, 2 days water, 1 dry and the look IMO healthy enough..am i sweating this over nothing?

    I am everyone and i am no one.

    Compost is a component of soil add aeration and some coco/peat and that’s it mate, you’ll still need to feed if there was no fertiliser added already,
    Be careful not to overwater with no aeration in there

    Verve is sweet with some added perlite mate. Just finished a grow with it and be using it again as base with loads of added ammendments to it next time. It's decent on its own aswell really mate u got nothing to worry bout dude.

    Oh and hold of on the nutes till at least week 4-5. And use them sparingly at first.

    In Australia, I go fifty/fifty potting mix and my mother's compost. (She's a keen gardener with great compost). I mix it and mix it then plant my little babies. I only plant four each year. Then water it in with some kind of fish based plant food and then I plug them into the sun. Yay!
    I lost a plant though this year because I ripped it roots away while re potting it Stupid!!!!!!!!!!
