I do, mostly on reamends, calcitic lime. Don't bother with oyster shell flour due to shipping and calcitic lime is a 1 to 1 equivalent, being pure CaCo3. Then again, calcitic lime just doesn't sound as cool as oyster shell flour so many will spring for shipping rocks.:wall: IME that whole...

Best find you some perlite. Your problems aren't coming from the dolomite, especially not at 1/2 cup/cf, but a lack of aeration and a too dense mix. Bet those containers stay wet forever. That bagged soil may be ok, maybe not. IDK I always make from scratch. But rice hulls aren't all that for...

All kelp is seaweed, but not all seaweed is kelp. Seaweed meal does NOT = kelp. Might be Ok stuff, but still not kelp. No clue about the alfalfa seeds, I just stick with the meal, or the meal in nugget/pellet form. Wet

Any particular reason for using coir? I've used my own peat based bedding for the last 5-6 years, but can't recall anyone using coir. Not that it didn't happen, but I'm eat up with old-timers. I've always just eyeballed it when adding bedding. Wet

The only way that works for me is to take clones in veg. Every one that I've had experience with, once flowering started, kept on flowering, spewed pollen and then died. This was no matter the light cycle, stuff added or whatever. Tried to reveg more than a few times and it never worked. Wet

Horizon Herbs for all those, all organic. Wet

Mine three. Wet

Yeah, the *secret* ingredient in superthrive is Trican????? found in alfalfa. Plus, you get all the other good stuff alfalfa offers for ~$15/50lb bag. Kelp meal brings even more to the table. Wet

No experience with horse manure and I only use rotted wood in my raised beds and pine bark fines in the soil mix. In the raised beds, the rotted wood, for me, is about 75% water retention value and 25% aeration value. If that makes any sense. It is aeration, but a secondary source, IME. Havent...

Aeration? Wet

I'm envious! Last year was a disaster for garlic. I grow mostly Music and just ended up with a minimal seed crop and pretty much zero to eat. No one had seed cloves so it wasn't just me. No scapes either, I let them fully develop to get some bulbils started for down the road. Music has huge...

Not really, and after 40 years if she has an issue then *I* have an issue and it gets worked out. The only thing totally banned is fish fert indoors. My fault though. Way back when (early 1990's), I grew a EXTREMELY stinky plant (Williams Wonder), that no carbon filter could tame. When we...

Not according to my wife. LOL Wet

Here's the big question, have YOU ever grown any garden crops? I'm thinking no, because of the nature of your questions. MJ is stupid simple compared to some food crops. For all this talk about sourcing locally and making your own you sure do buy a lot of pre made stuff and bottles. I think I...

It overwinters just fine in zone 7A and a bud grows a bunch in Maine. Goes dormant, but pops right up in Spring. Wet

You literally cannot kill this stuff. At least the sterile stays sorta put. Even with the sterile, you dig it up you get a plant(s) from the crown/roots AND it will pop back up from where you dug it up. VOE Plan carefully before you plant because it will be in that spot forever. You want a big...

Organicgrow42 Horizonherbs.com is who you want for Comfrey crowns. I don't compost them, but freeze fresh leaves and feed right to the worms. They love it. 90% of the worm food is fresh/frozen comfrey and coffee grounds. Wet

They are adding moisture all the time. IDK, tried them years ago, but never fell in love (or even like), with them. Wet

Peat moss is stupid easy to source from most big box places like Lowes, HD, WalMart and so on and a 3.8cf compressed bale (expands to ~6cf), cost ~$12. In fact, you can do most of a decent organic mix just from Lowes or HD with minimal stuff from on-line. *Top soil* just doesn't work all that...
