Dr. Earth Cannabis Cultivators' Thread

Just to make it clear. I'm really talking to the passerby, the novice and window shopper. Dr Earth is readily available and easy-to-use. I started with Jacks 321 a long time ago, it's fire! Today I'm moving in a different direction and wanted to share my experience. Also create a space for others that are utilizing Dr Earth or a mix thereof. Absolutely there is no one-size-fits-all approach to growing, each method has its strengths.

This is not a debate page about what is "better" Art will always be subjective.
Noted...I got a buddy who uses that stuff. Loves it.

Day 37 (SAT)

Really impressed with Dr Earth. We are just Cruising along. Running two different feed schedules, 2 week and 3 week. When top dressing I do add 1 cup of quoddy blend compost and 1 plant is getting EWC @1 tblsp per gallon. Adding BMC every watering and keeping sticky cards up destroyed the gnats. This is life. No ph pens, tds meters or mixing part a+b+l+m+n+o+q lol. Just water and go!

Mendo breath fruit bowl is a fam/friend fav here though a variant of yours. All was grown with bottle nutes. Just started my last seed and going to run it in dr earth. Currenly in solo. Plan to take clones to milk it as long as I can.

2 gallons of compost
1 gallon of Coco coir
3 solo cups perlite
1 solo cup of vermiculite
3 cups EWC
1/2 TEASPOON of Yucca

Amended this blend @2 tablespoons per finished gallon of mix.

I used quoddy blend by coast of maine for compost and bricked coco that was reconstituted with the yucca wetting agent. *Please Note* this is prototype soil at the time/date of this post. But, it is basically the same ratio I used for veg, just more EWC and different mix of Dr Earth beings we are close to flowering. Hope this gives you an idea where to go with your own recipes.

Thanks. Did you do the wash/buffer on bricks? Looking to move more toward coco but admit I'm a bit overwhelmed with available options.Tupur is only available in my area at one shop and it's a tad pricey and canna is nowhere to be found. Roots are exploding after a week in Tupur 1 gal pots already need to up pot. Kind of caught me flatfooted as I just amended more tupur yesterday for the up pot. The roots are definitely liking the coco. I'm convinced it's in my future.

I did not wash/buffer with any solution, just the wetting agent. That royal gold tupar is fire, and if you research it the coco makes up only about 35% of the total mix. The price is a major driver and also the experimental experience. Next run I will wash and buffer with a solution and do a side by side comparison.

*my outside container garden is 50/50 coco with the cheapest compost from lowes. No calmag issue at all. No deficiencies, no blossom end rot on my tomatoes and they are booming! I love coco. Lol
