:wall::wall::wall: Soooooo ....... Then why are you asking for a more detailed feeding schedule than the one you don't want to go by? :???: What kind of 'feeding regime' did you follow when you gardened? What were you growing? Do the same for mj as you do for tomatoes, no need to over think...

Looks like it's about time to upcan and clay does dry out faster than plastic, but mainly that container is getting too small for the roots. Wet

You've never gardened have you? Wet

Mostly it's just the fish stuff that smells, but anything from the sea will have some sort of oh dear. I used fish once years ago, indoors. My wife said never again and since she has her own CCW, I've found less fragrant organic nutes. Wet

IIRC, it's when you get above 500PPM of P that starts affecting mycos. 500ppm isn't all that much. Think $5 worth of pennies in $10,000 worth of pennies. Bet you have enough already. Wet

Granite dust is easy. Landscape supply places (that sell to landscapers) Monument shops ie: gravestones and such Stone fabricators, like granite countertops The landscape supply place charges me $3/5 gallon bucket for granite dust. I supply the bucket and shovel. Cows across the street so...

Oh hell yes you can burn plants with organics. For 3 gal pots, ~3tbl or so around the edges of the pot and 'scratch' it in to the mix. Do this again in 2-3 weeks and so on. You might increase it some as the plant gets larger, but little by little. Trust me, what you've added before won't be...

No experience with the stuff you asked about, but what I've used for years for mother plants would work just fine since it's Jack's Blossom Booster, 10-30-20. That npk just seems to work well for cuttings. Great for flower too. Wet

That's the stuff. *I* do 18/6 from the git go. Wet

What does work well is the large AAW with 2-400w mounted on each end (actually CMH). I don't bother trying to run in in the summer anymore, but an un heated basement in the cooler months works well when the basement stays ~55* or so. Wet

Seedlings pack their own lunch, the first leaves that pop out, the rounded ones. When those drop off you can think about fertilizer. One of the Espoma 'tones' would be good, your choice. I like Garden Tone myself. Organic and HD and Lowes both carry it. You mentioned a 'tad' of lime. A 3 gal...

Sort of and I didn't care for it at all, kinda gross. What I did was make Bokashi Bran using alfalfa meal instead of wheat bran and would sprinkle this on top of food added to the bedding and some into the cans I save coffee grounds in. Sometimes by itself. It's all good. Do a search on this...

1. Bubble it EJ longer. ~the third day, the pH will rise 2. Dolomite lime in your mix will take care of the pH. 1cup/cf of mix or 2tbl/gallon of mix. Even low pH EJ will be taken care of. I don't pH anything, nor have I checked pH in over 2 years. The dolo takes care of it all. Wet

No problem, in fact, it might be a bit light. *I* use a heavy cup/cf of dolo, which is a bit more than 2tbl/gallon with no problems and have for years. Wet

If they rarely wilt, you are not letting them dry out too much. LOL The bottom leaves trick is a good one to learn. I've been growing the same strain for over 4 years now, so a quick glance is usually good. But, it took a bit to get that glance down. Wet

Of course they have a digestive tract, sort of. They don't have teeth or jaws but do have gizzards, much like a chicken. That's why a bit of sand is needed in the mix, like the shell bits for chickens. So, I guess some sort of solid gets slurped up along with the slime. Maybe like us eating...

It doesn't really matter, worms don't really *eat* any of it. Wrap your head around this: What worms actually eat (slurp), is the bacterial slime from the decomposition of the 'food' added to the bin. All you have to do is add something that will rot, fresh, frozen, composted. Wet

Big difference between moist and soggy AFA root rot. This will come from experience, yours, there is no schedule or timetable except what you figure out for your particular plants/mix/set up. If you know your plants well, water when they start looking a bit *wilty* from lack of water. If you...

A few quick things. Dolomite lime: 1cup/cf of mix or 2tbl/gallon of mix. That would be ~20tbl for your 10gal bags. It's just finely ground rock, so big surprise it didn't dissolve in the bucket of water. Use the right amount and it will take care of whatever pH dumped on it. It also provides...

I'll have to snag the 'nutrients' book, wasn't aware of it. Read 'microbes' 4 or 5 years ago. Good book, but a little too basic, that's why I'm looking forward to the nutrients book. All in all, microbes is a good book especially for someone just starting out. I've been gardening for a number...
