Check out “the Secret life of plants”, not exactly soil science but an interesting read. It was a big deal back in the 70’s. These plants are more intelligent than most people realize.

Just a cheaper option than amazon, buy the book wherever you like. Your 100% wrong though and id suggest everyone check things out for themselves. I suggest expanding your horizons a little. Never heard of “the one straw revolution”...really? probably more info on that website than every garden...

Checkout that article i posted about building your own soil, nothing mentioned about just buying a bag??

Im curious, exactly how much of each ammendment he listed would you recommend using? Any useful input?

https://www.kisorganics.com/blogs/news/basics-to-mixing-your-own-soil This is a good starting mix. You really dont have to get complicated with your amendments. If your buying your worm castings mix a few different brands if possible. Use the compost for teas, i like a leaf compost if its...

“Once root rot is suspected, he immediately breaks everything down, sterilizes everything and cuts away any unhealthy looking roots” That’s what’s killing the plants, if there was root rot it never had a chance to kill anything

Just throwing this out there, i started growing as a teen with my buddy and his dad. His Dad ran a small 3-4 plant dwc setup. We never controlled temps and let algae grow on rockwool cubes. Changing out water in buckets only happened when flipping. We would just top up the rest of the time. I...

Those are pieces of rock your finding not eggs or bugs, perfectly normal for rockwool. I would recommend he monitor water temps and ensure the containers do not leak light. This is what will cause root rot 99% of the time. Root rot loves warm water. Your water level should be below the net...

Found these growing from the bottom of my fabric pot, second run with the soil mix in this thread. Must be some good things growing in this soil Def making sense Wetdog, thanks for the info

Yes thats correct, i figured that mix included enough ph buffers. I had no idea they recommend the added oyster/gypsum. I asked black swallow soil about the blend this week after serverchris asked about it. Next time i use the blend ill try the added oyster/gypsum
