oh 1000% took me 3 runs of mistakes to finally dial in my specific environment which I think what your kinda saying and so yes it takes some understanding and research into how soil and microbe life work and what they like and etc etc etc so there is a lot more to true living soil than just watering it... its art

but you could be that living soil guy who buys the bags and runs it once and dumps it and buys again.... I guess that's still tech living soil ya know..

I do small runs in 3 gals to test shit but don't give it the full bells and whistles as my 15 gal pots so again to me its easy now bc it clicks but throw me into dwc and ill be looking up my notes from 10 years ago lol

as far as pulling a bag for ready to go living soil water only its the easiest to do a run with for a beginner if they just wanna get some nice top shelf but is that efficient? idk

I love 1 parts. however it doesn't teach you the relationships of nutrients ratios. with the GH trio you can adjust the elemental ppm to each cultivar individually

I use the mega crop 1 part and have to remove the calnit in flower

I use it but add either Terpinator or Sweet Candy during Flower to balance out the excess "N".

I've come to the conclusion forums may not be the best place to learn and they may even Harper the progress off a newbie growers. In fact a forum is probably not the best place to start. The best place IMO is a tomato plant. they grow fast and really tell you how they feel. Then i would say start a cannabis plant in compost, don't feed it just water and watch it grow... right the way till it looks dead...

Starting from scratch is not easy. You have every man and his dog with their own personal opinion. Only you no your environment.


From my perspective the best way to start is Organic. It removes so many points of fail, if basic standards are applied. #

Rich living soil IMO is the best way to start, No PH'ing, and minimal feed, Leaving you to just worry about water and temps, along with calmag if using LEDs.


Speak up if you have an easier way to start growing......

how does adding anything reduce the N ? asking for a friend

It doesn't reduce what's there. But adding P & K only changes the ratio for a more productive flower cycle. Puts the ratio's more in balance for flower.
If I don't I end up with really dark green leaves (some hooked). But with it that hasn't happened. I don't add much. 1 gr. S.C. to 5 gr. MC per gal. in Flower or 4 ml. Terpinator & 5 gr. MC. I've never used the 6 gr. MC per gal. like the pkg. says.

all I did was express my opinion on how to guide beginners..most would know I'm actually helpful at times
but answers the same ol questions over and over gets tiresome..is it too much to ask Google first?

what I've been doing is screening out the calnit balls. add back 1g of calnit + 4gs of the remaining mpk. this gives a balanced ratio without adding anything

essentially trying to model the Jacks321. Renfro has some great threads on bloom ratios and adding anything to megacrop has caused me nothing but headaches. I suppose if what your doing works that's awesome, I've just noticed my plants are very picky past week 5 with N content and I like to keep the levels as minimal as possible. I also use a coffee grinder on my megacrop to even the consistency
