sizzzlin said:

First time starting a 100gal bed where I mixed together:
- 2/3 recycled hp pro mix that was previously grown with salts (flushed 2 weeks)
- 2 five gallon pots of perlite
- 2 bags compost
Amendments:
2 cups OSF
3 cups each crab, kelp, neem
And 2 cups rock glacial dust.

I have faith in the mix but am open to the thoughts, criticisms, or suggestions from anyone that cares?
Thanks!

All kinds of bugs at my root zone...bugs are part of the LOS system. If there's a bug chomping on roots then there's something higher up in the food chain.

Laugh all you like. I don't give a ____. fill in the expletive of your choice.

the ladies I grow controls my Crohns disease. Almost the only thing that makes my life worth living.

I grow in compressed coco so I dont have to worry about pests chewing on my ladies.

if you think you can grow the same type plants in the same soil year after year without the pests getting out of control be my guest but dont start crying when you lose an entire crop due to pests.

I dont even buy potting soil because of eggs Oct pests in the soil.

Hey I grew up on a farm. if you had you would know the answer to that. its called crop rotation.

after 2-3 years they grow different plants in that soil the larvae there do not eat. most of the larvae starve to death and after 2-3 years they plant the same crop there again.

Repeatedly growing the same crop year after year after year there will be several funerals your wonderful ladies that make the best medicine money can buy

comparing crop rotation in large scale “conventional “ agriculture is a far cry from growing no till organic in a 100 gallon bed. I’m not even going to argue about it because I already know you don’t speak from experience.

I’ve been growing indoors organically for a long time and the results speak for themselves. Mountain Organics on IG aka Bluejay, had been using his same soil for over 4 yrs, crop after crop and no funeral to speak of.

I think everything looks good but I would keep aeration in mind.

Are those numbers per cubic foot or is that the total amount for the whole batch of soil ? What is OSF ?
