Haha dang was ready to have everything smell like Charlie and the chocolate factory*cocoa not coco... my bad... don't order online though. It's like 6-10 times the price.
You should be able to find it a farm and feed store or maybe even a hardware store.Haha dang was ready to have everything smell like Charlie and the chocolate factory

Kriz878, listen to Hash Hound, keep it simple.Keep it simple. Buy a bag of some good powdered organics that has a lot of that stuff in it already. Cheaper than buying 10 different boxes and mixing from scratch. especially if you're only mixing a cu/ft Cook 3-4 weeks, water only or with a tea made from the same nutes every 2 or 3 weeks, top dress if needed.
I've used Dr Earth Bud and Bloom as my main nute for years.Gotcha any good powder organics you recommend?
I'm going to use Root Organics Elemental as an amendment when I build my soil. I expect that it will start adding Epsom Salt to my water at about week four. The plan is to apply it at a rate of 0.5 tsp/L every two weeks. How does this sound to you? Will this allow enough Epsom Salt to remain in the soil to be helpful to the plant? I am as organic as I can be and I do not water until runoff, it all stays in the smart pot.Epsom Salt will be washed out swiftly, its actually something to use in water, not soil.
do you have hard water with alot of chalk in it? optimally your water should contain 60-120mg Calcium per liter and 20-40mg Magnesium/l - 3:1. depending on your watersource you can use Epsom Salt to correct a mismatch, in your watertank.I'm going to use Root Organics Elemental as an amendment when I build my soil.

This is where my soil landed tooPerlite will break down, and it wants to float. Lava rock is way better if you ask me, but it's a lot heavier. I'm doing no-till, and added lava rock, 2 sizes of pumice, and some rice hulls in when I mixed it up. It was originally FFOF.
I’ve mad a few changes to the original table but when I get the chance I’ll scale her recipe down and compare some of the %’sI saved this years ago thinking some day I might need it. I think this was a post from Mz. Jill. Doubt it will help but here it is just in case
Natures living soil amendment. I'm using it fucking love it.Gotcha any good powder organics you recommend?
How long have you been using Nature's Living Soil? I am about to begin my third round with it. Personally, I don't think that I've given it a chance to really perform. Last grow I augmented the pot far too much and it let to complications during the middle of the plant's life. This time I am being much more careful about exactly what I am adding. And, even more important, I know why I am using each item.Natures living soil amendment. I'm using it fucking love it.
The Roots Organic Elemental is a slowly soluble mix much as you describe. I've been told that after a few weeks it is depleted and since it is not water-soluble it was suggested that I use a liquid supplement. Rather than spend another $25 on a product I thought I'd go with the old standby Epsom Salt.For an organic grow, using a combination of slowly soluble MagnesiumChalk, Algae Chalk, Dolomite Lime and a bunch of other stuff may be more suited to the general attitude of this style. So you basically just water... but you still need to "factor in" your water quality a bit, when mixing what together.
ok but Epsom wont substitute it bc the Roots Org El is mostly Calcium whereas Epsom is Mg & S.Rather than spend another $25 on a product I thought I'd go with the old standby Epsom Salt.
It was recommended that I switch to General Hydroponics CALiMAGic at four weeks. If Epsom Salt is not right, what do you suggest? I can stretch the budget and get som CALiMAGic. Or, do you have something else to suggest? I would like to stay as "organic as possible."ok but Epsom wont substitute it bc the Roots Org El is mostly Calcium whereas Epsom is Mg & S.
You can grind up egg scale and use hot citric acid to dissolve it and increase with this the amount of Calcium in your water. Or you add egg scale powder to your compost etc if you really wanna do the full organic thing. But I tell you that except urea & amino acids plants need to absorb most of the nutrients in mineralic form.I would like to stay as "organic as possible."
