I started my newest plant using the tiered method. I filled my pot with regular soil mix then dug out a hole for a 16 oz cup, I cut the bottom out of the cup and put it in the hole dug in the big pot. I filled the cup up with seedling soil (fox farm lite warrior brand) that has nu nute's and mixed in some rooting powder.and then put the seedling in the cup soil and just water lightly with ph 6.5 water, no nute's. has been working good so far. maybe you can try this on your next grow? as for this one try flushing the soil with 3x water too wash out some of the nute's in the soil, hope this help's. here's a picture of the one I did this way.sending grow:karma Cloud: your way
