Welcome to my ignore list redshift75.

Of course you can sterilize dirt. You can sterilize anything. I'm saying it doesn't make a lot of sense to pay for a tried and true blend of beneficial microbes like FFOF or FFHF has then kill them and buy some more. Not sure why you wrote a novel about this, but I'm not arguing here. I just...

It grows medium-tall and fairly wide with a big yield. Two BB plants can fill a 3x3x6.

The only issue I've had is the PPM of the runoff can get too high sometimes despite watering to 25% runoff. I just have to check the PPM and occasionally dial back the nutes or do a light flush. Not sure if coco is the same?

That kills all the bacteria. What is going to break down the worm castings, etc?

The pH of the peat I use is usually 6 out of the bag. Perfect for the media. Haven't had any pH issues. Runoff is usually 5.8-6.2 pH.

How are you going to sterilize something like FoxFarms Ocean Forest?

Sustainability of peat would be an issue to me if I Maybe it works for him, but I've seen many examples of noobs watering coco like soil and running into a lot of issues. I'm not willing to risk a crop if the only benefit is sustainability. I use two bags of peat a year. If I was runnning a...

PPM of 212 is kinda high. If you use it, you should acidify to reduce bicarbonate. Having too much iron could be the biggest problem. The filter I use removed all the iron, but it wasn't very high to begin with. Buying water is a chore and more costly than filtering your own.

Have you tried using a GAC filter for your well water? It should remove the rotten egg and most of the iron and rust. I use an RV water filter for this connected to a food grade garden hose. Works great for drinking water too. Edit...just saw you live in an apartment. You might be able to...

Good video. Thanks. The sustainability issue is not an issue to me. I chose peat over coco because peat can be watered like dirt, every three days. Coco needs daily watering. I wouldn't enjoy watering that often. Both of them are more appealing to me than dirt because the media can be...

Cali Connection sells direct and accepts paypal now. Reliable quality seeds, IME. They have a silly shipping charge of $35 but reasonable prices overall if you buy 12 or more.

It's the only thing I've ever used. Can't think of any cons, but maybe I'm missing something? I can think of cons with other medias without using them. That's why I chose peat and perlite.
