you ever check you EC or PPM when you mix your nutes? curious to hear how heavy your mix really comes out to be
I haven't ever grown in coco...just love the soil so much. I am curious to try a run in it, though. I really like the idea of re-using the coco run after run. With a few minor nutritional adjustments, I think this regimen would work wonders.
Been using your feeding reg in soil this run and its going GREAT! Gonna give it a try in coco next round, what would you change / add besides Cal Mag?
couple shots from this round...
G13 and a '91 Chem Dawg
About to give your reg a go Alien on some bomb strains. I've been using Roots Organics soil. Add a BIT more, like 5% more perlite...I love your reg, looks solid and covers all bases, and shit, you've killed it everytime!
Trying to get ahold of Sea Green, cant seem to find it!
I got a free sample of sea green when they were giving them away, amazing stuff when I run out ill definitely be getting more. Very obviously helps with nutrient absorption.
Thanks for the info! I'll definitely have to give it a run some day!
So your water is just bubbled tap?
Rightous choice of nutes, gonna have to give yer chart a try, got most of what you use, I also use Botanicare Hydroplex bloom enhancer 0-8-12 for soil, makes the res pop for sure, 2 ml per gal starting 1 week before 12/12.
em-1 is a microbial innoculant that contains a bunch of beneficial bacteria in a bottle.. pretty much provides the same benefits as a compost tea...
Alien: is that Primal Harvest guano made by earth juice?

Who makes it and where can you get it?
Not sure if I'm aloud to post links like this. If so can a mod please remove it?
That stuff works great. (EM-1) get a garbage bin line it and go to work!
Luv that stuff.
Peace,

Bump that ????? ^^^^
So what is your soil mix recipe since you are a soil fan, Alien?
Just picked up some Primordial Solutions Sea Green, Adding into my schedule next feeding!
Been hearing great things about this stuff. I have a few strains that I have been pushing high ppms, looking forward to some experimentation! Thanks for sharing your recipes and knowledge with us Alien!!
Thanks for that footnote on your base soil, Alien....
Thank you for your further explaination, Alien.
Again many respects for your time and effort here, brother.
I use the oyster shell "flour" as well and have a humate amendment that has a Leonardite base to it, along with a lot of other fulvic acid complexes as well. (A lot of these dry humates are mining by-products from Utah and there are a slew of them that are really quite under-utilized out there).
So in that regard our approach is similar, Alien. Really I am surprised more folks don't use a serious dose of Oyster Shell Flour in their mixes given the buffer management it provides as well as some soluble CA. It's key for me.
I tend to make my own Soil mix though using a 50/50 Gold Label Coco in combination with high-grade Canadian sphagnum. I toss in the amendments to round things outwith a fine grade organic compost and worm castings. I know its probably anal but the results I get in veg are pretty telling. And of course I agree with the uber-drainage / breathability using "more peralite", ideally a mix of course and medium grade without the dust.
Like yourself I learned to cook by touch and feel and making soil is no different. My focus is primarily upon the myco complexes and the other complementary bennie bactos I blend.
I have a pretty unique method for inoculating the Mycos which works very well. Basically I start with a dry myco in my soil mix, then a slurry dip when re-potting at least two more times. The root contact is superior and the resulting plants vigor tells the tale.
The one things I was thinking of looking into that you are doing with the Glacier Dust (I use a green sand /soft rock phosphates mix and am considering Azomite.
Can you tell me what brand you use?
I think I will give it a go myself.
BTW, you might want to give "Quantum Growth" a look-see too for the foliar applications. Its a purple algal base with some 30 beneficial bacteria species along with humates and other photosynthetic microorganisms that produce energy for plants. It would be a major boost to your current Sea Green regime given the blue-green algal focus in Sea Green. It's a great marriage. There is a suite of products that are well focused upon the specific application and they all work wonders much like Sea green. Give it a try.

And here is a most cool video by the makers of QG when marketed under brand Innoculaide.

And thanks again for your patience in all this Alien. You are a breed apart my friend.
can anyone that got the flowering schedule pm it to me, or email? i wanna give this a go on a few plants this round. thanks in advance
Any hopes of a veg feeding schedule or at least the products used?
Only suggestion I have for you Mr Alien:
Great White is Overpriced by 4x, They even add stuff that does 0% for intake or ur plants. Just to make it look fancier.
I suggest you check them out, their 2.2 LB is like 50 bucks, GW is like 250, trust me i used to buy it all the time.

Thanks you sir!:banana1sv6:
The guys at Xtreme actually make the core Mycos complexes for GW and a lot of the Myco products for other companies too. (They are local here in the Central Coast and I have toured their factory.)
There are a few options out there that are actually better, but it really depends on how you use your Mycos more so than the propogule count.
I'll send you a PM Alien that doesn't clutter up your thread.
Respects.
Here's my organic flower feeding regimen. This particular chart is designed for a 63 day cycle.
Enjoy! Hope this helps out any of you fellow organic farmers that want to fine tune your nute regimen, or anyone else looking to switch over to organic farming.
Cheers,
Alien
