Lol, what?
"Insoluble in water, acids, alkali and aqua regia. "
"Zirconium silicate highly refractive and abrasion resistant mineral which is used in high temperature kiln lining, refractory ceramics"

Thank you very much brother! i just hope to understand more about it.... I would like to get out of the comfort zone of liquid fertilizers and save myself the waste of time mixing and taking readings. It seems like the best solution but I'm afraid of harvesting less than expected honestly.... What do you think?Organics is very forgiving less is more you can always topdress as and when needed ewc will soon become your best friend good luck op on your journey down the rabbit hole of organics
Edit - would also recommend adding malted barley to party
Someone above in the comments mentioned using larger pots... at the moment I am using 25lt pots (6.6 gallons) are they ok?
"would also recommend adding malted barley to party" at what ratio?

Organics/ living soil there are so many variance and no real wrong or right answers , everyone has different resources available to them,25ltrs is to small imo double bubble at least,the smaller the volume of soil the more you will have to top dress,
I use coots mix with few added goodies including malted barley but I also top dress at certain stages of the plants life as having large volumes of soil is not an option for me this works for me others will disagree and have there on Ways.
If I make a 100ltr soil mix I will add few cups of malted barley and I top dress with barley couple of times during the grow.
I found this very helpful in my organic journey hope you do to good luck op

Organic soil amendments & additives
Welcome! So I've decided to make a little article with a list of amendments that I commonly use in my living soil both before a grow, during a grow and after. This is a list of all the NPKs and uses for each. It's more as a "note taking place" for myself that I will update and add to, but also...

Its missing Bacteria. I would highly recommend including this on a weekly basis. Just check out the label on this product and look for it locally.
Bacteria is essential in the breakdown of organic material and is a valuable ally to bring into the mix. I use it on a weekly basis.
Is Gypsum included in your mix? Potassium Sulfate? These are two things I would add as well. At the moment I top dress a combination of organic materials in week 1,3 & 5.
Another thing I would recommend bro is doing some form of cover cropping with browns and greens. This really helps the biology kick off and the soil moist. There are so many options here, the recommendation is any type of Dynamic Accumulator as it provides the soil with an abundance of nutrients.
I am not sure what other contents are with what you are using so you can just post as you go on this thread and I can give you some more suggestions.
I actually heard the guys talking about Keffir as an additive as well. I have tried it out and it seems to have helped my plants so that is also something local that can add some good bacteria to the soil. Its also something you buy once and you just keep feeding so massive bang for your buck.

Just remember if you don’t add Dihydrogen monoxide your plants will die
Dihydrogen monoxide is needed in every grow fert or non fert
without adding Dihydrogen monoxide your worms will die soil plants as well
and if you don’t start taking Dihydrogen monoxide at a steady rate you also will die
I sell clean Dihydrogen monoxide and use it myself I bet most other growers here use it too almost sure 99.9% do

Anyone here use sawdust to help with a little too much Nitrogen in the soil? And what type of sawdust do you use, and would a little cover crop be just as good?

I use sawdust from trees when I use it
Though too much nitrogen isn’t normally a problem in organic nless your amendmen it’s hot like fish meal
honestly I’d plant peas and let them fix
Alfalfa gives you straw mulch and nitrogen break down to release it it uses it off ground

I'm hoping this helps along with the sawdust. I will try those peas eventually but hoping after this round my new soil will have settled down and I won't have too.
