Pot shapes and sizes?
Do you think pot shape, not size..produces more uniform plants and do you think pot shape makes a difference in what weight she can bear at the end of flower?

I have auto flowers for a first grow. After about 4-5 weeks, The dirt has settled a few inches below the top of the 3 gallon pots (obviously didn’t pack it well enough). Should I just leave it as it is, transplant, or?

noobiii
I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.

PhUp P.Hydro vs. P.Carb vs. Both
Potassium Hydroxide Vs. Potassium Carbonate : or Both for PH+ up. Does one have lower EC value in solution when used? Does ones have better stability in solution for hydro or soil? Does one have more reactivity with other elements in the grow? Does one have higher PH? Cheers,

PH-Problems in Soil
Before repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c
Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.

10g pots a good idea?
I am using 10 gallon pots on this grow with a mix of soils including some from the chicken coop (aged). As a new grower I see a lot of advice to go smaller. To me larger systems are more stable, am I off?

Alternatives to Gaia Green dry amendments in Europe?
I'd like to try slow-release dry amendments for my next grow. Mr. Canucks on Youtube uses Gaia Green for this, but unfortunately this brand is not available in Europe. The only equivalent I can find is livingsoilsfertiliser.com. Has anyone tried them or can suggest another brand?

noticed the ph in the Pots is at 6.5+, something to do with the Hydroton. In order to balance it i had to drop the res PH to 4.0, but it constantly rises back up to 6. Using RO water Suggestions appreciated, will the Hydroton eventually stop having the ability to raise my PH?
