feed salts, start feeding organics early, watch the levels of ammonical nitrogen, and foliar feed frequently. Yearlings can be a foot with a little extra love and attention. Inorganic soil ftw
Teach me your ways! I think I’m doing pretty good with my largest around 10″ after a year but this here is something else.
I’ve got what I think is a good fert recipe, feeding 3.0EC every time I water, watering every time the soil dries (every 1 to 3 days through summer depending on conditions), foliar feeding maxicrop once a week, I have introduced them to more and more sun as fast as possible. It seems they grow in little spurts where they boom forward and then stall out. I repot and give fresh soil, after the roots heal for a couple weeks they boom again and then stall again after a couple months of growth. Soil pH is good, soil runoff EC is good, fert is balanced to the guides I’ve read…
How do you monitor ammonical nitrogen? Could this be one culprit? My feed has good balance of nitrate vs ammonical but I think you’re talking about soil levels?

What salts are you referring to? I keep seeing this and am unsure what it means
