Heyyy! I'm happy to report that my first soil grow is off to a good start!
I mixed Fox Farms Happy Frog with perlite, worm castings, a couple of handfuls of beautiful, rich soil from my woods, and hydroton as a base soil. I dug about a 2 cup hole in the center and filled it with worm castings and put my germinated seeds in. They're responding beautifully!
I have them under a LED and right now am watering with plain well water from our own well which has a high ph (7.5) but since Fox Farms is ph buffered, I assume I'm ok?? So far they seem happy!
Looking ahead, I'm wondering what kind of amendments I should be adding and when? I'd like to keep it basic and budgeted if possible...
Also, should I be ph'ing my water? If so, with what? I have general hydroponics ph up and down, but obviously that's not organic.
And regarding cal-mag, should I wait until the plant tells me there's a deficiency or be proactive? I have southern ag cal-mag, but again not organic. Lots of questions!
Thanks guys!
