Nutrients for soil grows

Ok, got it - soil, not the peat based stuff then. Well I have some seeds starting and I’m gonna give it hell. Thank you for letting me pick your brain. I appreciate your time.

Nothing wrong with Peat based stuff... I grew 15 plants outside last year 1 LB each and I used Promix BX which is peat based.

No cal mag at all?

Might be because of my Cali municipal water, but no. I didn’t use cal mag throughout the whole grow. I’m a firm believer of less is more and if I can put less into my plant the better I and my plant will be. I just used tap water,roots organic Grow/Bloom/Bloom booster, GH ph up/down, and Growtek pro silicate. I’d bubble the water for 12-24 hours then again with the ferts, add silica every other watering in non feed days. Recharge on silica non feed days. Then 14 days of ph’d water at the end then chop chop

I'll freak most of you out. Some miracle grow in a 25 gallon fabric pot, add 4-5" of black cow and mix in. Then I feed with RO water, add some cal mag and then add some nitrogen during veg two out of three feedings. Every third feeding is just RO water. Once I hit flower I add cal mag and, phosphorus and potassium. Every third feeding is just RO water. Can't complain with the results.48D1B99F-6F87-461B-8CB0-85A67C7700D6.jpeg
 
Ocean forest mixed with cow, mushroom, worm compost. Add a blended compost. Let the plant eat some of that for a little 2 to 3 weeks then add some recharge and rapid start, GH three part, Humic /fulvic acid and some cal Mag.

Nuthin fancy for me.. this is pretty representative for my norm of late using CFL and Miracle Grow 'All Purpose' from start to end. Only other thing I have in my bag of tricks is a simple PH litmus test, alcohol and h20.

Miracle Grow? Get's the job done. Cost? I dunno.. I bought a box last year for 6 bucks, I have harvested about a lb and a half/2 lbs since and still have half a box.

I'm not a 'fan'. It's cheap and works and I use it. Had of Jacks or another all purpose been on sale that day I would of bought that instead. Like I said, I am simple and only do this for myself anymore, I don't like to bother with extra stuff and my plants don't seem to mind as long as they are getting their NPK and trace.

I reuse and amend soils differently each time.
The base structure was from a local bulk soil place and included a good amount of slow-degrading things like pumice and coco-fiber, mixed with redwood humus, and oddly- shards of glass sometimes!
I remix with redwood and bamboo humus from my property, and biochar from here as well. I actually want high-temp incinerate some bamboo leaves to get a bio-uptake ready silica.

sorry about my previous comment- having a good time being stony and NOT gardening today
