Ohhh now that actually makes sense. Well shoot. I plan on running this strain and others like it so I guess I'll be building another super soil mix for them lol. Cause there's no way my current mix would work, they'd fryyy.I should have been more clear...ime they like a slow-release N source like feather meal present in the soil so it has it when it needs it.
Wow!! Beautiful ladies! What gets fed to your compost pile?
Wow! Love the grass skirt on trash can.Weeds in the yard, grass, leaves, banana peels, apple cores, vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, trim, worms, eggshells...whatever I can remember to toss in there.
That pile was four feet tall for almost a year and then when I planted the clone in August the pile was almost flat from decomposition!
I need to disclose that this was the same spot from a year earlier where I grew the trashcan monster with bottled nutes. I am sure that there was plenty of runoff in the same soil.

Is sphagnum peat moss the way to go when growing organically?
I use it too.Is sphagnum peat moss the way to go when growing organically?
How do you guys feel about (good) Coco coir?
I've heard that coir produces less yield from a few people now. I really need to go out and buy some peat so I can do a side by side. I've always wanted to use both coir and peat to see if it's some magical combo, but part of me doubts it lol.its fine. I add some to my soil mix. I have a coco mix cooking now. I'm just going to try it with one plant. @May11th and @stowandgrow both had smaller yields compared to peat moss.

Greasemonkeyman had similar results too, but DP and DT rock it and seem to do great with it.I've heard that coir produces less yield from a few people now.

yes, add me to that list as well.its fine. I add some to my soil mix. I have a coco mix cooking now. I'm just going to try it with one plant. @May11th and @stowandgrow both had smaller yields compared to peat moss.

15-20% smaller yield
Could it have been the coir you used? I've heard that poorly/unpflushed coir can have excess salts?Greasemonkeyman had similar results too, but DP and DT rock it and seem to do great with it.
My grows were by no means anything controlled or scientific. Just my observation. Could have been a case of me not being familiar with it so I could very well have been under/over watering or something.
I don't think so. The brand I used was advertised as "triple washed" and was more expensive than some other options.Could it have been the coir you used? I've heard that poorly/unpflushed coir can have excess salts?

I've been told this brand is supposed to be an excellent one because they flush it well before packaging. It's what I use and have had good success with. Though I've never used peat in a base mix that I've made, just in a Fox Farm bagged soil.
