Hi all,
So I’ve used the ITG recipe from Easy soil for beginner from grasscity forum for indoor before and last season I used it for growing outdoors in a few of my 300 gallon pots. It did run deficient in Nitrogen starting mid July towards the end. I used 300 gallon pots with their old potting soil. I basically re-amended them at the rates of new soil in ITG’s recipe.
This year I’d like to re-use the soil again but add more nitrogen and a little more phosphorous as well as potassium.
I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate them into the old recipe and at what rates to get me through the season with just water.
I have all of the following from ITG’s list. You’ll notice I don’t have alfalfa but I can always run out and get some but things are getting expensive.
Last year I used
300 gallon of old potting soil that contained some perlite, pumice rock, peat moss, probably mendo peat
EWC and Compost
I used about 3 cups per cubic foot of soil of all the amendments/ferts below.
Kelp
Azomite
Neem meal
Alfalfa meal
Shrimp Meal
I Did not use Lime or oyster shell flower in recipe.
G&B Citrus and Fruit fertilizer (all organic) 8-4-2
This Year I have Instructions on Bag
EWC & Compost
Kelp
Azomite .5 to 1 lb per cubic yard 2.5 cups = 1 1lb
Neem Meal some left over
Crab meal 5lbs per cubic yard 4 cups = 1 lb
Oyster shell flower
G & B Citrus and Fruit Fert (all organic) 8-4-2
Feather Meal 12-0-0 5-10 lbs per cubic yard 2.5 cups =1lb
Bat Guano 9-3-1 2.5- 5lbs per cubic yard 8 cups = 1lb
Bat Guano 0-7-0 2.5 - 5 lbs per cubic yard 1.5 cups = 1lb
Bone Meal 3-15-0 3- 6 lbs per cubic yard 2 cups = 1lb
Langbeinite- 0-0-22 1- 2 lbs per cubic yard 1 cup = 1lb
I have several large pots (300 gallon) to re-amend. Any suggestions on the ratios would be appreciated. I don’t want to overkill and I don’t want to run short on nutrients either. The Guano is pretty expensive so I’m thinking of supplementing either with chicken poop and or adding more of the G & B organics fertilizer. Do the ratios on these bags for the Bat guano, bone meal, and feather meal seem excessive? Each 300 gallon bag is roughly 1.45 cubic yards.
Last year my plants got about 8-9 feet tall and 5 feet wide and did start running deficient.
