whats the minimum inputs required in a earth-box to grow the firey dankity dank without buying a premade mix.
ya coast of maine is amazing but I feel like I’m riding with training wheels using it and its somehow equivalent to “being on the bottles” / “being in the bags”. I feel more accomplished crafting a soiless mix from scratch.I guess it depends on what you mean by a premade mix, but you could probably start with:
- 75% organic "potting mix" (like Fox farms, Coast of Maine, etc)
- 25% compost or worm castings
- A few cups of Garden-Tone
And do just fine.
Understandable. You could use peat and perlite instead, that's pretty much all that's in the CoM, they just add a little chicken manure, kelp, and lobster shell for fertility. Or promix hp if you want to avoid buying two different bags. Or use old/spent soil from prior grows and replenish it with more compost and dry amendments.ya coast of maine is amazing but I feel like I’m riding with training wheels using it and its somehow equivalent to “being on the bottles” / “being in the bags”.
