Soil nutes and leds.

[Nugachino]

Hi all. I'm doing a soil grow. In a compact cabinet. There's no npk reading on the soil. So what would I need to add to make it suitable to grow some healthy pot? The soil seems to be at pH of 6.
I have trace elements and GoGo Juice, soil probiotic.

You have no idea what's in the soil? I'd reccomend running r/o water through it and collecting the first few oz of run off to test with a TDS meter so you at least have an idea of what's in it.

You're going to have to use long text with me. I don't quite know the short hand names of things yet. Tds meter?

 

[Nugachino]

I've already tested my soil pH. It's on 6. And no. I don't know what's in it. The bag says nothing about nutrients. Or trace elements of any kind.

 

[Airwalker16]

Total dissolved solids.
It gives you a number.

If it says 300-500 don't add anything.
If it comes out, 0-100 add nutes.

And that's and aquarium tool right?

Hydroponics more so in our case.

PH is totally seperate from TDS. It tells you how many Parts Per Million/PPM of different elements that are in your water. That's why you NEED to use reverse osmosis r/o water to do the test. It has ZERO PPM.

Reverse osmosis?

Also. I'm realizing how nooby I am right now.

just take a bottle of whatever is cheap and use the grow at 1/2 and watch the plants

I'm in some podunk town in Australia. I haven't seen any proper nutes here. I mean there's blood and bone. But yeah. No real nutrients and shite. Just crap at bunnings.

there r lots of options mate, including ordering online

bunnings has all the shit you need

 

[Nugachino]

Then I guess I don't know nutes for shite.

 

[CornerStone]

You need a TDS meter

 

[Nugachino]

Thanks anyway peeps.

 

[weed-whacker]

then i suggest u start with soil and seasol

ph won't be too much of an issue if you stay semi-organic, nor will ppms

That is what I have used and will work, maybe not the best but saves having to buy anything expensive just yet like equipment

plus u will kill a few....
