Yeah it’s living soil for sure, and that’s what I thought, as the microbes could be killed off. I do know there are amendments you can put on live soil, and I was wondering if that’s what I needed to do, whether it be after a month of veg or going into flower.
Find out what is in the soil and start there.
Yeah, I figured after use, it would need to be remanded, but what about initial use, is it good all the way to and through flower?
The Build A Soil way recommends a least a 15 gallon pot for best results but the 5 gallon is doable just not as forgiving as a 15 gallon pot. 5 gallon battery is a lot smaller than a 15 gallon battery. To answer your question the top dressing you plan to do is all you need. I take it your top dressing with Craft Blend?
For your case, it will probably make it just to the beginning of flower.
That is actually what I am trying to find out, what do I need to add to the top of the soil and when? Preferably I’d like to order from their site for anything if you have any recommendations.
Just get the Craft Blend and use that 2 weeks before you flip. Keep it simple. The soil your using is super rich. A little hay/straw at the top will help keep the top moist and the roots will grow higher to the surface, easier for them to grab the nutrients. Another thing to get from build a soil is their flower compost. Some good shit. Add a little of that with the Craft Blend when you use it.
This is what I have in my cart, the build a flower top dress is the only thing I saw under the compost section, so I assume that is the right one.
That's it my friend
coots mix is better than craft blend imo
I would recommend rice hulls for mulch instead because that's what coot does but straw will work for sure
Fox farm nutes kind of suck but thier soil is solid as a base
Yeah, I feel like the nutrients burned my auto I just did at the end when she went into flower. I am actually germinating the seeds in FF happy frog and trans planting to the living soil when ready.
Can you drop a link for that coots mix, as I am not seeing that on their site. I am going to order some rice hulls, and the flower top dress and want to also get something for late veg if need be.I would let it ride until it shows deficiency and then top dress appropriately. Water only unless you are adding microbes or a compost tea. There are ferments if you have a bad deficiency in living soil but those are down the line. It's not exactly water only more like no salt bases nutes needed. Build a soil is great stick with them. Colorado worm company and coot related products are
I think I found it, is it "Clackamas Coots Official Gnarly Barley - Artisan Sprouted Seed Blend"?I would let it ride until it shows deficiency and then top dress appropriately.
