UPDATE : 28 days later ( transplant )
So let’s recap - plants shown are still on original layered container mix
- NO additional feed used.
This highlights the fact that the medium
alone can and will do the dirty work. I should also add that when I water …
I do not water to runoff.
These felt bags do not need to be dripping wet. With just enough water to keep medium hydrated - that’s it. That’s why you do not see saucers or pans under plants.
Controlling your watering is another aspect of container growing whether grow bags or plastic containers. You can see the bags are not showing salt buildup either - which is a
sign of overfeeding.
So roughly a month flew by and medium is still trucking along. I cannot speak about plant performance with another brand of soil but am sure it may vary. This why I stick to what works - Ocean Forest and Recipe 420. I say experiment with your particular soil blend.
These are
photoperiod plants which also shows even
autoflowers can be sustained with this simple setup.
No other nute lines or expensive
fluff.
