K. Thanks. Last year, I got a little anxious. I was using reg mgro by itself, fed a little veggie nutes, then a few weeks later, saw white hairs, dick got hard, fed some bloom booster, and burnt the shit out of my biggest girl. Learned a big lesson there. Cause just 2 years ago, I harvested 12 oz's dried off of one in that same spot, with miracle gro, and some other cheap non nuted soil. Didnt feed it but once. And that was late in flowering. Now I know to just LEAVE THEM BITCHES ALONE!it's pretty much whatever you feel works best. i have found, over the years, that "confidence" is the best kept grow secret.
last year i went to the horse stables and got a load of straw and manure. i tilled all that in. got a little pig/chicken poo as well. not as much as i would have liked to though. i toss all my old stalks and stems and trimmings out there as well. my soil is native clay so i'm trying to add different thing that will help break it up, more then anything. as far as food is concerned i can feed with organic nutes to supplement anything the soil lacks. i am mostly concerned with the texture and consistency of my medium. i want my soil loose enough to allow easy root growth, but firm enough to still hold up the weight of the plants. i've had plants uproot themselves in the past due to loose soil.
the main thing is is to try to keep it simple.
i went back and looked at my pics. i don't remember what was in that clear bag. i'm sure it wasn't just "bark", though that is what it looks like. maybe it was something i had laying around.
