This is what I mostly feeding in my teas... It's a mixture of worm castingssome of that good bacteria you know the white stringy stuff that you find in the forest floor with maybe a half a cup bone meal... I stir this bucket weekly and add moisture as necessary to keep my bacterial colony up... At the same time it's breaking down the bone meal takes a while... Most of my plants seem to really love this but this girl hates everything I do for her

130ish

If that's the ppm of your well water that's perfect man. Non-issue to use it and I cannot see any reason it will cause a ph issue down the road.

That's fungi... I think you would benefit from a bacteria/fungi innoculate. Either applied top dress, teas or RO mixed.

I'm using Raw microbes but there are plenty that are a good option.

Im growing a headband that has soft leaves and burns at the same time. Its always too much or too little with her. Some plants are like that.

And they tend to be very potent the picky plants. If we get them to harvest healthy enough. :-)

Best advice is lean toward underfeeding and dont overwater and nurse her along.

So would watering with a bottle water like Dasani that has a Ph range of 5.5-5.8 lower PH in soil?

Better check the Dasani pH because I also read somewhere that the pH of Dasani was around 6.0pH but my bottles were MUCH higher when I tried that same thinking earlier on. B8kd

two thumbs up on making sure to NOT overwater. I’m very new to all this but that is something I keep hearing time and again....do not over water.

I was having a hard time judging how dry the soil was by picking up the pot and trying to feel the difference between wet and dry so I started weighing them to dial it in. I now know if a plant gets down to 31 lbs it is time to water. Pots are close to 50 lbs when completely saturated.

Works for me. B8KD
