I haven't had any pest issues related to soil. Only some lovely native mite issue but nothing some sulfur couldn't put the kabash onReally enjoying your work and I'm reconsidering organic after some not so great results. Regarding pests, is it just the nature of the beast when working with the soil ingredients or are they coming in some other way?
Green Sand is such a small component of the mix that it doesn't change to soils structure by much.Get in there! Nice garden. Saw the soil recipe you posted. Hows the green sand treating you, are you watering less?
Where do ya send your sample to? I might want to try this eventually.Also got the soil test back for Bed #1 so I can get in touch with what's going on and amend accordingly

There are quite a few places to send samples to. I went with this one after seeing others report being happy with the serviceWhere do ya send your sample to? I might want to try this eventually.
What clones are you working with?Time for a little garden update:
Cloning in a container with the bottom third consisting of charged organic soil mix and the upper portion just peat/perlite is a definite win!

Been running a lot of Blood Diamond OG but bounce around with Cherry Pie, Mendo Breath, and a couple Ocean Grown Genetics (Vader OG & DoughG). Whatever the patients are preferring currentlyWhat clones are you working with?
The tea is a judgment call.Hey Brother! I'm totally being lazy here cause I know I could dig through the thread, but about how long did you run the soil before you had to hit it with a tea? I remember you saying it was a while, but I'm about 5 or 6 weeks from sprout, 1 week into flower. I am noticing new growth is super light green, the plants look amazing so far tho.
Just need to turn to page 2Any updates, where's pictures before harvest? Lol
You just top dressing and watering? Adding microbes? Curious how your maintaining your soil. Loving this stuff so far, but always looking for insight, and you always look to be having great results.The tea is a judgment call.
Typically at transplants and start of flower with another mid way seemed to work well. Basically I don't see harm in it even biweekly?
That said, I am not currently using any teas. After being a hydro grower for years and looking for a simpler way, all that brewing and bs just ain't really fitting with my program
Saw your soil recipe. Sorry for being lazy. So just water eh? Easier the better haha. I've been thinking about incorporating some biochar myself. Theres a worm farm near me that sells it.You just top dressing and watering? Adding microbes? Curious how your maintaining your soil.
