Rad man! Although I don't use lab I'm still stoked for you! When you say you make your own bottled nutes, are you talking about a kelp meal tea or similar or sst?
Or do you mean like an actual version of typical grow flower nutes? If it's the typical grow flower nutes then why not just add a couple more things and skip that? Like basalt,gypsum, neem,keep..etc making your own compost is the shit. Only a couple of commercial compost is rad, oly mtn being imo the best. That being said... if you're making your own bottled nutes then high five! You know what's in them! The problem with bought ones is you don't know what's in there and they only label minimum so you don't know what's really in there, not to mention you're force feeding them... kinda like if someone told you what to eat! Cheers on mushrooms growing is good! I'm not familiar with better organix, I'll look them up. And another thing to think about and before I tell you this please understand I don't mean to be rude discouraged or anything like that I believe these forums are to share information to better ourselves.. I believe buying something that's not the actual ingredient shouldn't be considered organic but there is some products that are...i know confusing huh! This guys crazy! I understand! But to understand that more, you need to look at the company. Generally a company you should support is transparent. They have degrees and real info. But wait are you ready for this some actual ingredients are bullshit like dead microbes,
mykos mixed with shit...etc I know, I know I'm obviously delusional and don't know anything! And that's the same way these companies think about you!
I looked at better organix, but I already knew I wouldn't support it just by the name. That's me and my opinion, doesn't mean I think negatively about you... to each is their own.
They had a data page with no info but claim in house scientific testing! A lot of their info was true but on every product they never said what the product actually was! Maybe on the bottle it does I don't know they also said you can email them so maybe you can get the data I don't know.
I don't understand most of their products in the world of amending your soil organically, although I do understand them in feeding when you don't have properly amendend soil. In my opinion you're right back to adding bottle after bottle of stuff.
This is just my opinion I'm not trying to bash you or bash them this is just my thoughts.
Another thing to think of is just because you add a product to the plants and they like it doesn't necessarily mean it's beneficial. You give me a soda I'm going to be happy as shit and drink the fuck out of it but I know it's not good for me. A lot of the stuff I write I have a hard time with cuz I know it can be taken as rude but believe me that's not my point or my motive or my desire.
Cheers and regardless of my opinion I'm still stoked for you and to hear about the Amendments you're using and your own compost
